GETTING TO SLEEP:          Sleep is very important. It's just as important for your
body like eating and exercising. If you don't get enough sleep, then you won't be
able to enjoy yourself. Going out with friends, playing sport or even watching
movies will not be much fun if you're tired.                                                          
People of all ages need sleep, but different people need different amounts. Babies
sleep about twice as much as they stay awake. Teenagers need about eight to ten
hours a night, and older people need less. But one person may need more than
another even if they are both the same age.                                      Six out of ten
children say they are tired during the day, which means they are not getting
enough sleep. So how can you get to sleep? A good idea is to write down what you
are thinking about before you go to bed. Then, make sure your bedroom is as dark
as possible, and it isn't too hot or too cold. You can also try reading a book. Don't
drink soft drinks or use your phone before going to bed. However, playing games
on your computer is the main one to avoid!

A Fable For tomorrow

There was once a town in the heart of America where all life seemed to live in
harmony with its surroundings. The town lay in the midst of a checkerboard of
prosperous farms, with fields of grain and hillsides of orchards.

Along the roads laurel, viburnum and alder, great ferns and wildflowers delighted
the traveller’s eye through much of the year. Even in winter the roadsides were
places of beauty, where countless birds came to feed on the berries and on the
seed heads of the dried weeds rising above the snow. The streams flowed clear
and cold out of the hills and contained shady pools where trout lay.

Then a strange blight crept over the area and everything began to change. Some
evil spell had settled on the community: mysterious maladies swept the flocks of
chickens; the cattle and sheep sickened and died. Everywhere was a shadow of
death. The farmers spoke of much illness among their families. In the town the
doctors had become more and more puzzled by new kinds of sickness appearing
among their patients. There had been several sudden and unexplained deaths, not
only among adults but even among children, who would be stricken suddenly while
at play and die within a few hours.

There was a strange stillness. The birds, for example – where had they gone?
Many people spoke of them, puzzled and disturbed. The feeding stations in the
backyards were deserted. The few birds seen anywhere were moribund; they
trembled violently and could not fly. It was a spring without voices. On the
mornings that had once throbbed with the dawn chorus of robins, catbirds, doves,
jays, wrens and scores of other bird voices there were now no sound; only silence
lay over the fields and woods and marsh.
On the farms the hens brooded, but no chicks hatched. The farmers complained
that they were unable to raise any pigs – the litters were small and the young
survived only a few days. The apple trees were coming into bloom but no bees
droned among the blossoms, so there was no pollination and there would be no
fruit.

The roadsides, once so attractive, were now lined with brown and withered
vegetation as though swept by fire. These, too, were silent, deserted by all living
things. Even the streams were now lifeless. Anglers no longer visited them, for all
the fish had died.

In the gutters under the leaves and between the shingles of the roofs, a white
granular powder still showed a few patches: some weeks before it had fallen like
snow upon the roofs and the lawns, the fields and the streams.

No witchcraft, no enemy action had silenced the rebirth of new life in this stricken
world. The people had done it themselves.

CAT DETECTIVE:          Jaroslav Flegr found out 36. _____ 1990 that he was
infected with toxoplasma gondii, a parasite 37._______ typically lives and
reproduces in cats. The Czech evolutionary biologist learned that the parasite often
38._____ from cat to humans via litter boxes or contaminated water, but what truly
fascinated 39._____ was how it jumps from cat to cat: it uses rats. When the
parasite infects a rat, it hijacks its brain, making the rat more active, less risk
averse, even sexually attracted to the scent of cat urine- in sum, more likely to get
eaten. This knowledge gave Flegr a radical idea he decided to explore: Maybe this
parasite was controlling his brain too. His colleagues told him he was crazy and
finally as it turns out, his hunch was right. Jaroslav thought that might explain some
of his strange behaviors that are nonadaptive for him but adaptive for a parasite
that needs to get a new host. Doctor Flegr 40. _____cross the street in traffic but
not jump out of the way when cars honked. 41._____ he found that people infected
with toxoplasma gondii are 2.6 times more likely to get into a traffic accident. Flegr
also found that in humans this parasite greatly slows the reaction time;
42 ._______ can influence the risk of a traffic accident. Infected people also tend to
be less conscientious, and male subjects of the research considered the scent of
cat urine to be 43.______ pleasurable. For 44. ______people this phenomenon
was difficult 45 ._______ believe, but it was real and held the parasite potentially
responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths every year and perhaps for many
cases of schizophrenia as well.
