I asked my dad if I’d ever made him cry before because I couldn’t remember ever seeing him cry.

“There was once,” he said. He told me that when I was one year old, he put a pen, a piece of paper money, and a toy in front of me. He wanted to see which one I would pick. It’s a tradition that a lot of Chinese people do when their kids are one year old.

According to this tradition, it shows what the kid will value (重视) most when they grow up. For example, if the kid takes the pen, it means he or she will be a smart person in the future. If the kid takes the money, it means he or she will value money more than others and will become rich. If the kid takes the toy, it means he or she will like fun things and play a lot.

My father didn’t take this tradition so seriously. He was just doing it out of curiosity. He wondered which one I would pick anyway. He said that I just sat there and looked at the three things. He sat across from me and waited to see the result. I moved toward him and he held his breath. To his surprise, I pushed everything aside and went right into his arms. He didn’t realize that he was one of the choices.

And that was the first and only time I made him cry.

Recently, the Ministry of Education has issued (发布) five documents on strengthening (加强) the management for primary and middle school students, among which sleep management is required. It’s time to change our way of life and study.

You may think the best way to solve a difficult problem is to keep working on it, even overnight. But the truth is just the opposite: Your best chance to solve a problem is actually to sleep on it.

A team of researchers at Northwestern University, US, found that sleeping is useful in both making memory stronger and re-organizing it. This can help you solve problems.

The researchers did an experiment (实验) with 57 students. They asked them to solve 42 difficult problems on the first day. The students worked on each problem while listening to different music. The research encouraged students to remember the music they heard while solving the problems. In the end, there were six problems that the students still hadn’t solved.

The students then went back home to sleep. They were given special sleep-monitoring (睡眠监测) and music players. The players played music connected with the unsolved problems while the students were in the slow-wave sleep (慢波睡眠) stage. This stage is when people are likely to dream and reorganize their memories.

The next morning, the students tried the unsolved problems again. Researchers found they were 55 percent more likely to solve them. The music activated (激活) the memories they had of the problems while they were sleeping. It allowed them to “work” on the problems in their sleep.

Earlier studies of both people and animals have shown that sleep can not only make memory stronger, but also help us organize information in our brains. This study seems to support that understanding. So, the next time you face a difficult problem, sleep on it. Then play some music to remind yourself of the problem.

The culture that I grew up in has a delicious tradition: baking (烘焙) different types of cookies before Christmas. We prepare for days and then give them to people we ________.

I have a friend from a different ________ background. ________ she heard that I was planning a baking day, she was super excited about learning something new. So I happily promised to teach her how to bake my Christmas cookies that day.

We waited and waited, and a week before Christmas, it was ________ the baking day. We both imagined the beautiful and tasty cookies that we would make for our family, friends and neighbors!

However, the baking process (过程) was unexpectedly hard. The skills that I’d used countless times were completely ________ to a foreigner. On my own, I could finish baking all the cookies quickly and correctly. But this time until noon, our cookie boxes were still empty. I could feel my ________ rising “Will it be wiser if I give up teaching my friend and just let her take some cookies as gifts?” I wondered.

The thought above went away ________ I remembered how interested she was in my way of baking. To let her experience in person instead of just watching me, we decided to make ________ kinds of the cookies and to bake simpler ones. ________the end of the second day, we had 20 beautiful gift boxes, each filled with mouth-watering cookies.

Seeing how proud she was, I was doubly glad that I didn’t act on my thought to do everything ________ just because it would be easier. By teaching her how to make cookies in my way, she was given a chance to get closer to a different culture.
