Still, I never felt boredThe fields，hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground whose adventures were only limited by my imaginationI can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and walking slowly around itAt the back of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen beforeIt was full of muddy tyre tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides，but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventureI walked on and on for what seemed like hoursI was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear “ turn around and head back home”but I was stubborn and walked onThere was still neither a car nor a house in sightI noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scaredI didnt want to end up trapped on this road，and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake againI continued to walk on with something growing inside of meMy heart was pounding and my legs were achingI was almost in tears when I saw something in the distanceIt was a house that I recognizedI jumped up and down and laughed out loudIt was still over a mile away, but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no timeI walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinnerThen I ended my adventure with a good nights sleepI often thought of that experience recentlyActually, in our life，all roads，no matter how they twist and turn，can lead us home againThey can lead us to our homes here on the earthThey can lead us to our homes in our heartsMay you always walk your path with love!

What may be the best title for the passage?AEvery Effort Is WorthwhileBAll Roads Lead HomeCBe Determined in Your LifeDBe Brave to AdventureBAre you sick of going to bed late and waking up tired? Then grab your hiking boots and a tentA new study suggests that camping in the great outdoors for a couple of days can reset your body clock and help you get more sleepThe body clock is an internal system that tells our bodies when its time to go to sleep and when its time to wake upScientists track this clock by measuring the amount of melatonin (褪黑激素) circulating in a persons blood at any given timeIn a healthy sleeper, melatonin levels rise a few hours before bedtime，stay high through the night，and then settle back down when its time to wake upIn our modem society, however, most of us stay up many hours past sunset and would probably sleep in many hours after sunrise if we couldAnd the trouble is，your melatonin levels may still be high when your alarm clock goes off in the morning，which leads to fatigueIt may also have other health consequences as well，such as diabetes(糖尿病)，overweight and heart diseaseProfessor Kenneth Wright of the University of Colorado in the US wanted to see if our body clocks can be reset by a short stay in natureHis team recruited(招募)fourteen physically active volunteers in their 20s and 30sNine went on a weekend camping trip，while the other five stayed homeAt the end of the weekend，the researchers reported that in just two days，the campers body clocks had shifted so that their melatonin levels began to rise more than an hour earlier than they did before they left on the tripBy contrast，the body clocks of the group that stayed home shifted even later over the course of the weekend“This tells us we can reset our clocks fast，”Wright saidTherefore，if you want to change your sleep patterns you could try to increase your exposure to natural light during the day and decrease the amount of artificial light you see at nightAnd if that doesnt work，theres always camping25.
