What will you do if you're not sleepy? 5hould you still go to bed if you are just going to Iie there with your eyes wide open?

It's a1ways a problem that some people find it hard to go to sleep.

You might be excited by everything you did that day. You might be excited for what you know you're going to do the next day. Maybe you can't sleep because you don’t like sleeping all alone in your room. Maybe you have a nightmare that keeps coming-back every time you close your eyes.

All of these feelings are normal.

One thing that can help is talking to a parent about what you're thinking about. If you're nervous about something; it can be really helpful to tell somebody. Knowing that somebody has heard you can help your thoughts rest so that you can rest, too. If anything in your room makes you feel uncomfortable at night ,like a strange picture or a broken window, be sure to ask one of your parents if it can be moved or fixed.

Another idea could be getting ready for bed earlier than usual. You can relax by taking a warm bath, or listening to a bedtime routine at least 30 minutes before you go to sleep.

1t is also good to keep your bedtime routine (慣例) and time the same every night. By keeping it the same, your body will get the message that it's almost time to sleep.

It's important not to give up just because one solution didn't work and you're still awake. Just trying to find out what's wrong may be enough to make you so tired that you wake up the next morning without knowing how you fell asIeep.

So even if you run out of ideas, you might still have a restful and good night.

1.1s it a problem that some people find it hard to go to sleep?

2.What can be helpful if you are nervous about something?

3.How can you relax before you go to sleep?

4.Why is it good to keep the bedtime routine and time the same every night?

5.What is the passage mainly about?

Yesterday morning when I opened my eyes,it was half past six already. I got up quickly and ran to the bus stop without having breakfast. When I got on the bus,it started raining. “I am sure I can get to the school on time,” I thought. Suddenly, the bus stopped. There was something wrong with the bus. The driver asked us to wait for another one.

“I can’t wait. The school is not far. I can run to school”, I thought. Then I began to run, but it began to rain hard.

I reached the classroom, but I was all wet. The Math teacher, Mr. Li, was in the classroom. We were afraid of him and I didn’t like his Math lessons. I said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Li. I’m late.”

“It’s you again, Wang Bin. I told you not to be late,but you…” He suddenly(突然) stopped and looked at my wet clothes. Then he took off his jacket and gave it to me.

“Now,take off your wet coat and put this one on,” he said kindly.

I went to my seat,wearing Mr. Li’s jacket. It was too big but I felt very warm in it. I found,for the first time,that math class was very interesting,so I learned a lot that day.
