You lost two hours of sleep every night last week because of a big project due on Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, you slept in, get

11、ting four extra hours. On Monday morning, you were feeling so bright-eyed, and you only had one cup of coffee, instead of your usual two. But dont be cheated by your energy: Youre still carrying around a heavy load of sleepiness, or what experts call “sleep debt”. Sleep debt is the difference betwee

12、n the amount of sleep you should get and the amount you actually get. Its a deficit that grows every time we remove some minutes off our nightly sleep. “People get more and more sleep debt without noticing it,” says William Dement, founder of the Stanford University Sleep Research Centre. Studies sh

13、ow that such short-term lack of sleep leads to a foggy brain, worsened eyesight, and trouble remembering. Long-term effects include obesity, and heart disease. A survey reports that were losing one hour of sleep each nightmore than two full weeks of sleep each year. The good news is that, like all d

14、ebts, sleep debt can be paid off with some work. Adding an extra hour or two of sleep a night is the way to catch up. For the long-term lack of sleep, take it easy for a few months to get back into a natural sleep pattern(模式). Go to bed when you are tired, and allow your body to wake you in the morn

15、ing naturally (no alarm clock allowed). As you pay off sleep debt, your body will come to a rest at a sleep pattern that is particularly right for you. Sleep researchers believe that although the exact genes (基因) remain to be discovered, genes do determine our individual sleep patterns. That probabl

16、y means you cant train yourself to be a “short sleeper” and youre fooling yourself if you think youve done it, so earn back that lost sleep and follow the orders of your inner sleep needs. When you put away sleep debt, you become a superman.21. The example of sleep math is used to show_.A. how you b

19、l feel tired if their sleep is less than needed D. one sleeps more when developing a natural sleep patternBHere is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it

20、 is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can last for hourstheres no such thing a

21、s rushing a meal in Brazil. In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency (效率) is the goal, so meetings are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, e

22、ven when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. People avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems

23、 to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each oth

24、er by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is important, so arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table

27、 In Brazil. B. In Singapore. C. In the United Arab Emirate. D. In Switzerland.CMillions of Americans began 2015 with the same resolution (决定) they started 2014 with, a goal of losing weight. However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.To reach our goal of losing weight the output, we need to

28、 control what we eat the input (输入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to achieve goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of determining to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “Ill stop having dessert for

29、 lunch,” or “Ill walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a specific (具体的) input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.Recently a new science behind incentives (激励), including in education, has been discussed. For example, researcher Roland Fryer want

30、ed to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books, while in others, the incentives were based on output, like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when

31、 based on input but had no effect when based on output. Fryers conclusion was that the incentives for inputs might be more effective because students do not know how to do better on exam, apart from general rules like “study harder”. Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over

32、which they have much more control.As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a much higher chance of success. For instance, if you want to spend more time with your family, dont stop with this general wish. Think about an actionable goal that you could stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday. In the long run, these new goals could become a habit.28
