4 . How to Sleep Better at Night
It is widely known that a good sleep helps us relax and it also makes us energetic again.
● Take exercise during the day
● Don’t use electronic products before bedtime
Before bedtime, some of us have a habit of using electronic products to surf the Internet, listen to music or watch movies. It’s bad for our health to do these activities before bedtime.
●
When we sleep with lights on, our brain will think it’s still daytime. It will take us longer time to fall asleep and we will rest less. So it’s wise to sleep with lights off.
●Keep worries away
Some of us have difficulty in falling asleep because of worries. Instead of lying awake, we can write down the things that make us worried and make a list of things to do.
| A．Don’t sleep with lights on. |
| B．Don’t make any noise at night. |
| C．Taking exercise is good for our sleep. |
| D．There is no way to solve all these problems. |
| E．They will keep our brain active and prevent sleep. |

5 . Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code(二维码). “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate (产生) the codes, and in the end everything gets easier” said Gao. “When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat. Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or telephone.”
The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans(扫描)his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos.
Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun,” said Tingting, a student of Guo’s.
“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share,” Guo said. “It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”
However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their homework, which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the Students’ work at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.

I still remember how awkwardly I was the first time when I made dumplings. After making the dumpling filling, my mother taught me what to make a “cup” out of the dumpling wrapper. Then I spooned some filling on the “cup” and pressed the edges together form a “half-moon” dumpling shape. My first few tries didn't work out — it just wouldn't stand up! I never expected make dumplings would be so hard. And I quickly learned to do it the right way. Enjoying the dumpling made by myself, I feel joyful and happy.
