on the news. it calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper.letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper. these parts of the times are always interesting. most of the letters are serious subjects. but from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with manners of thirty years ago.1. if you want to get

reason lies inside their bodies. at that time, about eight hours after you wake up, your body temperature goes down. this is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. the people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. they slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.in many parts of the world, people take naps（小睡）in the middle of the day. this is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. a daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health. in countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease.many working people have no time to take naps. though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! if you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. a short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. this can also happen if you sleep for too long. if you do not have enough time, try a short nap even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful. 9.why do
