But now a study has found it really does help people nod off(小睡)if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugarfree and additivefree with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.29According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk _Astarted sleep more easily B. woke up laterC. were less active D. were more anxious30Which of the following is TRUE of melatonin according to the text?AIts been tested on mice for ten times.

Some children ask for the same food over and over again, some may refuse to try anything new, and some may keep asking for snacks (点心). Therefore, having healthy eating habits becomes one of the most important lessons a child needs to learn. Most parents struggle with managing good eating habits and nutrition (营养) for their children. Parents should make a plan for their childrens nutritional needs.Start your childs day with a good breakfast. Breakfast is necessary to provide the nutrition for an active day. Studies show that children do better in study when they begin a day with a good breakfast.Allow your child to help you plan and prepare a meal. He will be glad to eat foods that he has helped to put on the table.The mealtime environment has a lot to do with how your child will feel about food. Try to serve your meals at the same place at the same time of a day. Keep the meal itself as the main event and leave the toys and television for later use.Snacks are also important. We can give our body and brain energy (能量) by eating snacks between meals. Children are often hungriest in the afternoon after school and in the evening.Offer snacks at regular time between meals. This way, your child wont refuse a meal because he knows a snack is soon to follow. More importantly, when offering snacks, you should be careful with what to choose.33.
