What makes you fall asleep The main cause is your body clock, a time-keeper inside your body.But how to control and use your body clock Scientists suggested having a shower before bed.Jumping into the shower around an hour before bed could mean you sleep better.
A warm shower helps you relax, and then after it warms you up, your core(核心) body temperature drops.This encourages you to fall asleep more quickly and sleep more soundly.
A study in 2019 said that a water temperature of 40 ℃ to 42.4 ℃ produces the best-quality(最优质的) sleep.After people lie down, most of them take about 20 minutes to fall asleep.However, if you have a shower one to two hours before going to bed, you will fall asleep 10 minutes earlier.
Core body temperature drops naturally before you sleep, then drops further during the night.It rises again as you wake up.It is thought that taking a warm shower will speed up the drop in temperature before bed, as it brings blood to the surface of the body, and then the heat is given off.

In some coastal provinces such as Guangdong Province and Fujian Province, a pot of Oolong tea or Pu’er tea is the usual treat.

Why did Chinese people have more than one name in ancient times
In ancient China,people’s names had three parts,their family name,given name and courtesy name.Take famous poet Li Bai for example.His family name,which came from his father’s name,was Li.His given name was Bai,and his courtesy name was Taibai.
People used their given names when they were among family members.But in social life,they called each other by their courtesy names to show respect.This was mostly done among people of similar age.If you were talking about yourself,or if your elders were talking about you,the given name would be used instead of the courtesy name.
Men would get their courtesy names when they turned 20.It was a symbol of adulthood(成年).Women would get their courtesy names after getting married.
One’s courtesy name often had something to do with one’s given name.For example,the name of Mencius was Meng Ke.His courtesy name was Ziyu.Both Ke and Ziyu mean“carriage(马车)”.Zhuge Liang’s given name was Liang,which means “bright”.His courtesy name was Kongming,which means “very bright”.
47.How many parts are there in people’s names in ancient China
A.3. B.4. C.5. D.6.

One possible version:
Labor Is Glorious
It’s well known that labor is glorious. As a middle school student, I often do some labor activities in everyday life.For example, I clean the classroom and playground with my classmates at school.I cook dishes, wash the clothes and tidy the room at home.And in the community, I work as a volunteer to help the old or disabled.
By doing these, I’ve learnt some basic life skills to take care of myself.Besides, I have not only got the strong feeling of satisfaction but also become more and more independent and responsible.
All in all, labor creates a better life so let’s take an active part in doing the daily labor.
