A

The first day of school, our professor（教授） introduced an old lady Rose

to us.

“Why are you in college at such an age?” I asked her. She replied, “I

always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!”

We became friends quickly.

At the end of the term I invited Rose to make a speech to our football

team. I’ll never forget what she taught us. She said, “There are some

secrets（秘密） of staying young and being happy. You have to laugh and

find humor（幽默） every day. You must have a dream. When you lose your

dreams, you will die. There is a huge difference between growing old and

growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t need any talent or ability

（能力）. To grow up, you must always find the opportunity in change. Have

no regrets. The people who are afraid of death are those with regrets.”

At the end of the year, Rose finished her college. One week after

graduation, Rose died peacefully(安详地) in her sleep. We would always

Sandwich was an Englishman. He lived in the 18th century(世纪). Sandwich

his servants (仆人) to ping him some meat and pead. He put the meat

between the two pieces of pead and held the food in his left hand while

C I don"t think there is anything wrong with your blood. The key to your

problem is that long nap（打盹,小睡）after dinner. If you didn"t sleep

for hours during the early part of the evening, you would be more ready

to sleep at bedtime. If you didn"t nap after dinner, you would not want

to stay up so late, and you would not feel the need to take a sleeping

pill. The pill is still working in your system when you get up in the

morning. This helps account for the fact that you feel tired all day. You

should get out of the habit of sleeping during the evening. Right after

your evening meal, engage(从事于) in some sort of physical activity - a

sport such as bowling, perhaps. Or get together with friends for an evening

of cards and conversation. Then go to bed at your usual time or a little

earlier, and you should be able to get a good nights rest without taking

a pill.

If you can get into the habit of spending（度过） your evenings this

way, I am sure you will feel less tired during the day. At first it may

be hard for you to go to sleep without taking a pill. If so, get up and

watch television or do some jobs around your house until you feel sleepy.

If you fall asleep and then wake up a few hours later, get up but do not

take a sleeping pill. Read a while or listen to the radio, and make yourself

a few hours"sleep that night, you will feel better in the morning than

you usually feel after taking a pill. The next night you will be ready

to sleep at an earlier hour.

The most important thing is to avoid taking that nap right after dinner

and avoid taking pills.
