    In China,  children like to make promises by hooking pinkies (勾手指) with each other and saying: "A pinkie promise must be kept for 100years." Then, they may press their thumbs together to complete the promise. Sometimes, couples will hook pinkies and promise to be together forever.

    There are many theories (推测) on the beginning of the pinkie promise. Some say it comes from a nursery rhyme. Others say it was introduced from the West — born out of a love story where a man and a woman hooked fingers.

    One theory is may have something to do with the role of fingers in Chinese culture. The Chinese character for "finger" also means "aim (旨)" (referring to people's thoughts). So hooking fingers can be seen as the exchanging of thoughts.

    Therefore, the fingers play an important role in making an oath (盟约): they can not only be used to complete a promise, but also be cut for making a blood oath. When someone swears (发誓) to heaven, they use their fingers to point to the sky.

    Generally, hooking fingers means making a serious promise.  In some gangster (黑帮) movies, a person who breaks a promise may have his little finger cut off!

    When you're closing your eyes and hitting your pillow, you're probably not giving much thought about the sleeping position throughout the night. Most people don't change their sleeping positions throughout their lives. The following is why you might want to pay more attention: Your sleeping position can actually say a bit about who you are and what your personality is like.

    There are many sleeping positions. The fetal (胎儿的) sleeping position is generally the most common sleeping position. Fetal sleepers sleep on their side, they move into a position in which their body makes a rounded shape. People who sleep in the fetal position are often quite sensitive and generally shy. They are often worried or nervous and don't focus their attention on the main problem, but get into trouble on very small pieces of information.

    The log (木头) sleeper rests on the side with a straight body when hands and legs are kept at the sides. These sleepers are often relaxed, but also can easily believe lie-tellers. If you're a log sleeper, you might want to keep in mind that it's good to be easy-going and have less stress, but don't be so quick to go with the flow (流) at all times.

    The third one is the soldier position. Soldier sleepers typically lie on their backs with both arms close to their sides. In general, they are the strong and silent type. However, they can also put the pressure on. "They can be quite strict with themselves as well as others," a scientist added.

At 9:30, Rose said, "I hate going to bed. I want to stay up and watch a show!" At 6:00 in the morning, her alarm clock went off. Her mother heard her say, "The only thing I hate more than going to bed is getting up in the morning!"

What does Rose have in common with thousands of kids? She is not getting enough sleep. Have you ever stayed up later than you should? If you have, you know that not getting enough sleep can leave you feeling tired and upset. You may have even noticed that it's hard to think clearly and stay focused (专注的) when you are overtired.

Need some motivation (动机) to go to bed on time? Here are some important advantages (好处) of getting a good night's sleep. After a good night's sleep, we are more energetic, smarter and even happier.

Do you like to play sports? It has been shown that football players, swimmers and tennis players all perform better after a good night's sleep. Your coach may not tell you this, but the simplest way to improve your performance is to get enough rest.

Do you want to improve your grade? Healthy sleep habits improve your memory and your ability to pay attention to tasks, making schoolwork seem easier. While you get a snooze, your mind is very busy so you needn't get a good rest like a long sleep. Researchers have found that it's easier to learn after a good night's rest. So, it's no surprise that students who get enough sleep get better grades than those who don't.

Science and experience have shown that getting a good night's sleep is the key to success in whatever you do. Get a good night's sleep. You're worth it.

 阅读下面材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

One day, you open the fridge and find some moldy (发霉的) food. But before you can throw it away, your mother stops you. She doesn't want to waste it, so she cuts off the moldy part and eats the rest. Is it safe to do this?

Mold can grow on almost all kinds of food. It is usually green, white, black or gray. Mold makes food soft and changes its color. Moldy food tastes quite bad and it's not safe to eat.

If you find mold in soft food, just throw it away. Soft food, such as bread, tomatoes or hot dogs, usually contains(含有) water, which allows mold to grow easily below its surface. Bacteria (细菌)can also grow along with it.

But it's easy to remove mold from hard food because mold can't grow very deep inside this kind of food. According to BBC news, you should cut about 2.5cm around and below the mold to remove it. It's OK to cut the moldy parts out of hard food and eat the rest. But if the food is completely covered with mold, you should still throw it away.

Most kinds of mold are bad for us. But some kinds of mold can be used to make food. For example, penicillin(青霉菌) can be used to make many types of cheeses , such as blue cheese. These cheeses are safe to eat and they're quite delicious as well.
