Those who have suffered from insomnia know the sinking feeling of watching the clock tick. Now a new study in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that lying in bed awake may actually contribute to the problem of sleeplessness.

The study of 79 adults(average age 72)with insomnia aimed to determine whether brief behavioral interventions for insomnia would help. Traditional behavioral therapy （療法）requires at least half a dozen hour-long sessions with a therapist—a costly commitment many patients either can’t make or don’t have access to. Other options include sleep-aiding medications or supplements. In the current study, the 39 participants in the behavioral therapy group received a 45-to 60-minute instructing session, plus a 30-minute follow-up session and two 20-minute phone calls.

Doctors offered the following behavioral interventions for improving sleep. reduce time in bed; get up at the same time every day, regardless of sleep duration; don’t go to bed unless sleepy; and don’t stay in bed unless asleep.

The other 40 participants in the study were given printed educational materials about insomnia which included the same instructions given to the intervention group, but without the individualized sessions with a therapist. Two weeks later, the latter group also got a 10-minute follow-up phone call.

At the end of four weeks, the behavioral treatment group was significantly more likely to show improvements in sleep than the printed-materials group. By that time, 55% of those who received behavioral treatment no longer met the criteria for insomnia compared  with 13% of the group that got educational brochures.

The good news comes at the same time as a report on the health effects of insomnia from the U.K.’S Mental Health Foundation. The report, Sleep Matters, suggests a link between insomnia and poor relationships, low energy levels and an inability to concentrate. Poor sleep has already been linked to depression, immune deficiency and heart disease.

Vans, Keds, Dollies—they sound like the names of rock bands, but if you have teenagers, you’ll know they’re actually the latest in teenage footwear.

But experts are now warning that the current shoe fashions will be causing teenagers discomfort in the short term and storing up years of foot, knee and back pain in the future.

Here, the experts identify the problems caused by teenagers’ shoe choice.

KEDS/VANS

Slip-on shoes with elastic（彈性的）sides are particularly popular among teenage boys-with Keds and Vans the most sought-after brands.

The main problem is that they are just too flat—so flat that the heel, which strikes the ground first, also becomes damaged and painful.

BALLET PUMPS

The worst shoes of all are such light and thin dolly shoes. The problem is partly their flatness, as with Keds and Vans.However ballet pumps, which have no string or heel, have other specific problems.

“As the shoe has no fastening device, it relies on the toes to keep the shoe on, causing an awkward gait(步法)，this leads to short-and long-term problems such as calluses（繭子），heel and knee pain.”

WEDGES AND STILETTOS

     These shoes can also cause problems with gait, They may look good, but the heels on these are so high they can force the wearer’s body weight forward, making them very unstable.

Teens who wear these shoes regularly are also in danger of joining those millions of women with constant back pain.

SCHOOL SHOES

   So what do podiatrists（足科醫(yī)生）have on their with list, especially for everyday wear?

Something in a natural, breathable fabric, with a string to hold it on,with a small heel and a deep toe-box that does not press the toes, such as Clark’s, Marks & Spencer or Rhino.

If your teen insists on wearing ‘bad’shoes, get them some simple foot orthotics（矯形器）in the shoes. These support and correct the movement of the foot and, properly fitted by a podiatrist, can often transform their walk and halt the damage.

91.Of all the shoes mentioned in the passage, which can cause the worst problems?

A.Marks & Spencer.                      B.Wedges & Stilettos.

92.Which pair of shoes may not be found on the podiatrists’ wish list?

A.              B.                 C.                 D.

93.The underlined word “halt”in the last paragraph probably means        .

A.increase                           B.worsen               C.stop                   D.cure

94.From this passage we can infer         .

A.trendy shoes may ruin teenagers’ health

B.fashionable shoes all have orthotics in them

C.experts are strongly against wearing popular shoes

D.podiatrists are expert at producing branded shoes

95.In which column of Mail Online can you find this passage?

A.Sports   .                           B.Science.                    C.Health.        D.Shopping.

Grammy nominated（格萊美獎提名）artist and globally admired DJ and Producer Paul van Dyk continues to lead the electronic music charts and appears at the highpoint of every Top DJ list across the globe.PvD,as his fans have nicknamed him,is currently ranked the World’s No.1 DJ by DJ Magazine’s “Top 100 DJs poll”for the second successive year.

By the time Paul van Dyk released Out There & Back in 2000,it became clear that the Berlin-based musician had far more to offer than his signature club sets that had already defined him as one of the most influential DJs and producers of all time.

When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000m race.My

job was to    66    water to the runners. I remember being so    67   to see all the different kinds of people who passed by and grabbed a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past.I saw so many types of people doing it.I thought maybe I could do it too!So the next year I     68    up for the race.

That first 10,000m race was quite an    69   .I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked.    70   ,I didn’t know if I could finish Them came a defining（決定性）    71   .

At one point near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very, very fast, and I felt     72   because I was 50 years younger than he but I couldn’t even keep up with him.I felt    73   for a second.

But then I   74   something.He was running his race and I was running mine.He had

   75   abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my

   76   was only to finish.

After a minute, it    77   me that this was a lesson I could draw from. I learned something about myself in that moment.Iturned my embarrassment into    78   .

 I     79   that I would not give up on running races. In fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and prepare     80   and one day I would be one of those 70-year-old persons who were still running. As I crossed the finish line, I was proud of my     81   .

In life we all have those moments where we     82   ourselves to others. It’s only

   83   . Don’t allow those moments to     84   you. Turn them into motivation and let them inspire you. With the proper preparation and training, you can improve your result to     85   any thing you want in life.
