A teacher began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see, and asked the students, " How much do you think this glass weighs?"
"50 g!" "100 g!" "125 g!" the students answered.

" Nothing! " the students said.

Hold them even longer and you will not be able to do anything. It's important to think of the challenges(挑战) in your life, but it' s even more important to put them down at the end of every day before you go to sleep. That way, you are not stressed. You wake up fresh and strong and can deal with any challenge that comes your way!"

In 2011, scientists in Greece did a survey of over 35,000 people in 10 countries.

The survey found that many people suffer the effects of poor quality sleep, some examples can’t fall asleep and often wake up in the middle of the night. The main reasons of the problems are pressure(压力) from school or work and a fast pace(节奏) of life, but noise pollution and light pollution also affect sleep and cause poor quality sleep. The survey also found that large numbers of people find it hard to sleep at night. They felt tired and couldn’t focus on something. If this happens for a long time, the risk of gaining weight and having a heart attack may increase.
There are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep. First, you should have regular sleep habits. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. At night, you should not drink anything with caffeine, such as chocolate, coffee and tea.
Getting a good night's sleep is important for everyone. By following the advice above, you can rest better at night and work better during the day.

听第3段材料，回答第16～20小题。
“Where are you going?” Chinese often ask this question when two friends meet in the street. But if you ask Americans the same question, they will be surprised because they think that “go ing to some place” is their own business. In their eyes, only a po liceman will ask such a question in the street.
The same thing will happen to Americans if you ask them “Have you had your meal?” . In fact, to us Chinese, such questions do not mean anything but a greeting.
In America, when two friends meet in the street, they will say “Hello!” or “How are you?”. They never ask “Where are you going” or “Have you had your meal”. If two friends meet at the mealtime and one asks the other “Have you had your meal?”, that means he wants to invite his friend to have a meal with him. It's quite different from what it means in China.
The examples above tell us that people in different countries have different customs. Now we are learning foreign languages, we must pay great attention to their customs.
