2 . We all need sleep, but for many it comes out of living for all kinds of reasons.
For Chen Danhong, 28, who works for a technology company in Beijing, the day really just begins after about 8 p.m. “When I get home, I’m feeling tired, but that suddenly turns to excitement and I go on the internet, read books or watch movies. I’ll be playing video games and always saying to myself, ‘OK, this is the last one’. Before I know it, it’s 2 o’clock. It’s the same with watching TV. Before I realize it, it’s 4 o’clock.”
For Chen, breaking promises about getting enough sleep has become a way of life. “I know that if things go on like this, it’s going to take a toll on my health, but I just can’t help myself.”
Chen is suffering from what is called unforced sleeplessness (失眠), a term borrowed from tennis, in which an unforced error refers to a mistake that occurs when there is no pressure.
Common symptoms include falling asleep later than 2 am, with the average time taken to fall asleep being less than two hours. Young people in cities are most likely to have such symptoms, according to the 2020 Chinese National Healthy Sleep White Paper by the China Sleep Research Association. Common causes are loneliness, overtime sequelae, excessive stress and emotional disorders.

Report warns of growing smoking risks More than 1 million people in China are killed by smoking-related diseases each year, and the number will be twice as many as that by 2030, a report warned on Wednesday. It pointed out that there are more than 300 million smokers in China nowadays. The smoking rate of Chinese people over 15 years old is 26. 6%, down by about 7. 3 from 1984. The global rate stands at 19. 2%. Short videos can be addictive  A recent survey found that 60% of respondents spend about more than an hour a day watching short videos and 11% spend three hours or more on them.

5 . Xiong Linghao was born on May 29th, 2002 in Mianyang City, Sichuan Province. She lost her eyesight because of illness when she was only two months old. But her mother later found that Xiong had a talent for music. She could play children’s songs on a small electric (电子的) piano when she was 3 years old. At the age of 6, she started learning the piano.
Unlike most learners, Xiong could not see the piano keyboard (琴键), so she must remember where each key is through its sound. That was very hard for her. She practiced for six to eight hours every day so that she could find the right keys.
Xiong’s piano skill was getting better and better as she kept practicing. In 2020, she won the Special Jury Prize in an international youth piano competition in Shanghai. “The piano is my best friend,” said Xiong. It brings so much pleasure into my life and encourages me to face my life bravely.”
Xiong has a great dream. She wants to be a great musician like Beethoven. Beethoven lost his hearing in his 20s and later went completely deaf, but he didn’t give up his love for music. He wrote so many famous music works in his life. So for herself, Xiong still has a long way to go.

7 . Everyone knows about straight-A students. Many straight-A students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their low-scoring classmates. Here are some secrets of the young study champions.
Top students bear no breaks on study time. Once the books are open or the computer is booted up, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, and snacks ignored. Study is business; business comes before recreation.
Get organized.
Paul Melendres, a straight-A freshman from New Mexico, keeps two folders — one for the day’s assignments, another for papers completed and graded.
Clean up your act.
Neat papers are likely to get higher grades than sloppy ones. “The student who turns in a neat paper,” says Claude Olney, an Arizona State University business professor, “is already on the way to an A. It’s like being served a cheeseburger.
Speak up.
“If I don’t understand what my teacher is explaining, I asked him to repeat it,” says Christopher Campbell. Class participation goes beyond merely asking questions, though.
Test yourself.
As part of her note-taking, Domenica Roman emphasizes points that she thinks may be covered during exams.
| A．Set priorities. |
| B．Schedule your time. |
| C．She designs test questions based on them. |
| D．It’s a matter of showing intellectual curiosity. |
| E．A bag or drawer keeps essential supplies together. |
| F．Hard work isn’t the whole story behind their academic grades. |
| G．You can’t believe it tastes good if it’s presented on a dirty plate. |
8 . First impressions can set a lasting tone, but there is often something doubtful. Psychologists have documented a phenomenon known as the liking gap, whereby two people meeting for the first time routinely underestimate how much their counterparts (对应方) like them. A new study finds that the liking gap occurs in group settings too and affects how well groups function.
In one experiment, the researchers divided 159 participants into groups of three and asked them to have a conversation. They then surveyed the participants individually about how much they liked each of their partners, how much they thought each partner liked them, and how much they thought their partners liked each other. On average, people liked their partners more than they believed their partners liked them, and thought themselves to be the least liked in the group.
In a subsequent experiment, the researchers asked similar questions of engineering students who had worked together in design competitions for varying lengths of time. Here, too, people tended to underestimate the degree to which they were liked, regardless of how long they had known their teammates — and their dim views of their own likability reduced their willingness to ask others for help, give honest feedback, and work together in the future.
A final experiment involving a broad sample of workers showed that the misperceptions (误解) were strongest among teammates and that they decreased team effectiveness and job satisfaction. It also found a possible explanation for the liking gap: People tend to focus on positive thoughts when reflecting on how much they like someone else (“I’m happy that she got a promotion”) but fall victim to more negative ones when considering how others view them (“I got a promotion, so she might be green with envy”).
Managers should think carefully not just about how teammates regard one another but about how team members think they themselves are regarded, the researchers say; correcting misperceptions could boost team satisfaction and performance. “If only people knew how positively their teammates actually felt about them, they might communicate better, feel more included on their teams, and be happier overall with their jobs,” they write.
1. What does the liking gap refer to?| A．A type of social anxiety disorder. | B．Love among different age groups. |
| C．Misjudging others’ opinions of us. | D．Holding back others’ evaluations. |
| A．People did not like to give honest comments. |
| B．People tended to think little of their partners. |
| C．People were quite demanding towards others. |
| D．People were not very confident about themselves. |
| A．Conflicting. | B．Negative. | C．Conventional. | D．Strong. |
| A．Employees’ viewpoints on themselves. |
| B．The relationship between team members. |
| C．Employee promotion and job satisfaction. |
| D．Communication between leaders and employees. |

John decided to go skiing with his friend, Keith. So they loaded up John’s car and headed north. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible snowstorm. The snow was falling harder and harder and it was more and more difficult to go on driving. So they decided to look for a house along the way to protect themselves from the heavy snow. At last they saw a small farm in front of them. Thus they pulled into the farm and asked the middle-aged lady who answered the door if they could spend the night in her house.
“I realize it’s terrible weather out there but I have this house only big enough for my five children, and I have no spare room for you,” she explained. “I’m afraid that I can’t offer you a comfortable place to spend the night and you have to continue to look for your shelter.”
John and Keith felt disappointed. It was late and they were not sure of finding a safe shelter for the night. They didn’t know what they should do next. John looked at Keith, who kept silent. Just then, he looked around and found an empty storehouse in the yard. An idea struck him. He was determined to beg the lady to permit them to stay in the storehouse.
“Don’t worry,” John said. “We’ll be happy to sleep in the storehouse. And if the weather breaks, we’ll be gone at first light.” The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the storehouse and settled in for the night.
But there was little furniture in the storehouse, and it was such freezing weather. They were trembling with cold and they might be most likely to freeze at night. It seemed that they would have to sleep in their clothes. Just then, three children walked into the storehouse, with something in their hands.
