Adjust (调节) the temperature. The temperature in the room should be a little cooler than what is comfortable for you.     1    . This will really help. Do not let yourself get too cold, however, most especially your feet; cold feet can disturb sleep.     2    .

Adjust the lighting. If you prefer a completely dark room, cover all lights such as digital alarm clocks, or any other electronic device (设备) in your bedroom. If you prefer to sleep with weak light, wear an eye mask or lower your lights until you are comfortable enough to sleep.     3    .

Adjust the sound level. If you prefer everything quiet, turn off anything that causes noise.     4    . It can take some time to get used to them, but they can help block out (屏蔽) sounds that kept you from sleeping. They can also be particularly useful if you share a bed with a partner who can wake you up.

    5    . Keep your back straight, and make sure that your neck is not resting too high or too low. Avoid sleeping on your stomach. Even turning from your right side to your left can help you fall asleep if you are feeling wide awake in the same old position.

A．It is best to put on some socks

B．Adjust your sleeping position

C．Maintain a comfortable position

D．A little drop in temperature causes sleep

10 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was Saturday. My daughter was showing me something in the backyard when I heard my name called out. I turned around and saw a little boy. “William!” I cried in surprise. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m helping my daddy lay turf,” he answered proudly.

“I’m sure he appreciates that,” I said. “This is William,” I told my daughter. “One of my students. He’s a joy to have in class.”

It was true. Little William was a delight. And even though he struggled with his reading, he never once complained. There was a brightness he brought with him wherever he went.

I’d never forget the day in class when another student was having trouble understanding the lesson. “Don’t worry,” William had told her, “Sometimes, second grade is really hard.” He was a gentle soul, wise beyond his years.

Still, I couldn’t help but worry. Despite his firm determination, William’s grades were poor. Some days, I wondered if he’d be able to pass.

Back at school, William’s grades showed no sign of improvement until the last few weeks of the year. As a class project, each child planted a sunflower seed in one of those containers small plant beds came in. I did this every year, with varying results. Planting the seeds was exciting for many of the students, the growing part much less so. It took too long to see results from daily watering, and most kids had little patience for it. They lost interest and forgot to care for their sunflowers-to-be.

But not William. Every afternoon, William made sure all the containers were watered and nurtured (培育). By the last week of school, the shoots were about four inches tall. I was amazed. In years past, few seeds successfully sprouted (发芽). And those that did had never gotten so tall. But these were different. These were William’s sunflowers.

The head caretaker maintained the flower beds on the school grounds. Before summer, I asked if he’d mind planting our seedlings (幼苗). We picked out the perfect spot behind the library. It could clearly be seen from the street. We transferred (转移) all 20 seedlings and hoped for the best.

注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

William managed to enter third grade.
