it is a good source of serotonin. increased serotonin levels, in your body, have a calming effect and cause sleep. the way your moms tried will help you sleep! a special green tea made from certain herbs (草本植物) will also help. caffeine, found in high levels in black tea, chocolate and coffee, leads to difficulty sleeping. always avoid having it before you go to sleep in the evening. if you suffer from sleep problems, you may benefit from avoiding caffeine completely. title: (1) _ between foods and sleepthe present situationone tenth of american adults (2) _ from sleep problems.the possible causes of sleep problemssleep problems possibly result from (3) _things. medical problems can (4) _to sleep problems lasting for a long time.the results of sleep problemsthey bring about trouble to people and have a (5) _ effect on peoples work and life.the (6) _to the problemscertain foods can be used to make sleep quality (7) _ .the kinds of foodfoods high in carbohydrates, turkey and nuts, warm milk and a special green tea.the (9) _ on foodhave foods high in carbohydrates, which make people (8) _ and sleepy. eat turkey and nuts four hours before you go to bed. drink warm milk before going to bed. avoid drinks or snacks (10) _ caffeine before going to sleep.2 (2012合肥模拟)aids (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is a medical condition caused by hiv (human immunodeficiency virus), a virus which damages peoples natural defenses against disease. so far, no cure has been found for it. in the early mid-1980s, while other parts of the world were beginning to deal with the serious disease, asia remained relatively unaffected by this newly discovered health problem. by the early 1990s, however, hiv and aids had hit several asian countries, and by the end of that decade, hiv was spreading rapidly in many areas of the continent. today, hiv and aids are a growing problem in every region of asia. the latest statistics produced by unaids suggest that in 2008, over 5 million people lived with hiv or aids in asia. various factors cause the spread of hiv, including poverty, inequality, unequal status of women, cultural myths about sex and high levels of migration(移民). although its useful to understand the situation of aids in asia as a whole, each country in the region faces a different situation. in cambodia and thailand, there has been evidence of declines in hiv infection levels. in indonesia, pakistan and vietnam, meanwhile, the number of people living with hiv has rapidly increased. in china, the number of people newly infected with hiv and aids is also rising, although at a much slower pace. much improvement is needed to prevent hiv and aids around asia. new guidelines and policy documents have been continually issued over the years. most of the successful programs do have at least three features in common. firstly, these programs encourage hiv and aids education among the general population to teach people how to avoid infection and to face discrimination. secondly, they are very practical and they involve the infected people themselves in program design and implementation(实施). last but not least, strong leadership is essential for hiv prevention. if all of the leaders truly committed themselves to this cause, then a great many lives would be saved. overview of hiv and aids in asiathe (1)_ of aidshiv, a virus (2) _ the bodys immune system.the past situation in the early mid-1980s, with other parts of the world troubled with the serious disease, asia remained (3) _ unaffected by this newly discovered health problem. in the early 1990s, hiv and aids (4) _ only several asian countries, but hiv was spreading rapidly in the next 10 years in asia.the(5) _ situation in 2008, aids/hiv is a growing problem in every region, over 5 million people (6) _ with hiv or aids asian countries are facing (7) _ situations today.the improvement to prevent hiv and aidsthree (8) _most of the successful programs have in common.

it can be an enjoyable and memorable experience for both you and your pets as long as you have the right attitude.controlpart of the joy of traveling with pets is dealing with the unexpected. you cant control everything and trying to do so will only end in frustration (挫败) and anger. knowing that things will happen beyond your control will bring great relief to you and your pets. messes happen; accidents happen. once you accept that, traveling with your pets will be far easier to manage. selfishnesstraveling with pets often requires an extreme amount of selflessness. your pets rely on you to take care of their needs, and sometimes you will need to put their needs before your own. leave your selfish ambitions behind when traveling with your pets. they need your attention and care more than anything else because of the stresses and strains of traveling.traveling with pets can and will be a joy if you remember to leave these five items behind. it can be difficult at times to handle, but the traveling will go well if you can manage to do so. traveling with petsbenefityoull have a(n) (2) _ and more effective trip by following tips.five things to (1) _time*traveling with pets will take longer and will have unexpected turns. *plan on (3) _ early and arriving later to be on time.anger*anger will only make matters worse when you are (4) _. *your pets can (5) _control themselves during the trip.workattitude*leave your work attitude behind. *right attitude can (6) _you an enjoyable and memorable traveling experience.control*dealing with the unexpected can be (7) _. *once you accept that, you will find traveling with your pets is not that (8) _to manage.selfishness*traveling with pets often requires you to be (9) _. *your pets rely on you to take care of their needs. *at times you should put your needs behind theirs.(10)_traveling with pets can be a joy and your trip will be successful.5 (2012蚌埠模拟)keeping a cool head about fire safetysadly, many families lose their homes every year to fires. the causes of these fires vary. sometimes electrical wiring gets too hot. sometimes food is forgotten in the oven or a dish towel falls onto a burner. sometimes people are careless with matches, candles or cigarettes. whatever the cause is, home fires take families home, possessions and sometimes even lives. heading off trouble: there are many things you can do to prevent fires in your home. do a safety check with your parents. make sure that all smoke alarms in the house work. monthly tests are a good idea. check to see that toasters are unplugged when not used and that towels, curtains and some other flammable(易燃) things are out of the way of the stovetop and oven. look at the electrical outlets(插座) to make sure that they are in working order and not overloaded. if you have a fireplace, put a strong screen in front of it to keep fires from coming into the room.the great escape: even with careful checks, fires can still happen. that is why it is important for families to have a fire safety plan. first, plan two escape routes from every room in the house, if possible. that way, if smoke or flames are coming in one way, there is still another choice. second, agree on an outside meeting place like a tree or light pole so that everyone will know where to go. finally, practice your fire escape plan at least twice a year. if your home has a second floor, make sure everyone practices, from a first-floor window, how to use a safety ladder to escape. a fire can be a scary experience, but being smart about fire prevention, having a plan for fire safety and putting the plan into action in the event of fire can save lives.
