The doctors and nurses wore the same suits, hats and masks, and it was difficult to tell who was who when doing an operation.To solve the problem, Rob Hackett, an anesthesiologist(麻醉師) in Sydney, Australia, had an idea to write his name on his hat. At the beginning, his workmates didn't take it seriously, even someone laughed at him, “Don’t you remember your name?”

Dr. Rob showed his thoughts on the website Bored Panda, “As we all know, doctors are a stressful job, and when facing with life and death danger, we have to race against time to try to save patients' lives. We need to create a culture that allows us to rebuild health care. We need to develop a system that reduces mistakes and errors.”

A year later, Rob had the last laugh. Surgical(外科手術(shù))caps with names have been accepted around the world because of the following advantages:

※ This simple method can reduce human mistakes in medical care. Doctors found that doing this can find proper doctors and nurses in time, which greatly saves the time of communication.

※ The idea is to make patients feel human. The patient lies on sickbed, knowing who is doing the operation. This is also a kind of comfort which lets the patient feel less nervous.

※ In addition, writing names on the surgical hat is a new way to promote(促進(jìn)) the recycled use of hats, with environmental benefits.

When you're in school, the last thing you want to do is to work on weekends. There's homework to do, sports to play, fun to have. But our parents may persuade(勸說(shuō)) us to find a job to earn money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager, I had to deliver the newspapers to people's homes. Then I got a Saturday job at a supermarket: putting everything in order on the shelves and working as a shopkeeper.

Today in the UK you can work from the age of 13 and many children have part-time jobs. It is almost seen as an adult ceremony. It's an independent experience. Teenagers agreed that it taught them valuable lessons about working and managing money with adults. So that's not a bad thing!

Some research suggests that not working on Saturdays or holidays may be harmful to one's later life. But recent statistics（數(shù)據(jù)統(tǒng)計(jì)）show 20％of the students have given up having part-time jobs in the past three years.

So does this mean British teenagers are now more afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts believe young people feel that going out to work hinders（阻礙） their performance in school, they are now under more pressure(壓力) to study hard, get good grades and have a good job in the long run. However, proper part-time jobs are a great way to help young people learn the skills they need in the workplace. In fact, the key is to keep a balance between taking a part-time job and having enough time to study and rest.

Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. A 13-year-old girl named Rachel works in a shop on Saturday. She told the BBC: I like my job because I'm making money and it helps me to talk to people confidently and work with others closely. It seems like a valuable thing to do on a Saturday morning.

1.When I was a teenager, I ___________at first.

2.Who can have a part-time job in the UK?

A.Gavin a 14-year-old boy B.Aron an 11-year-old boy

C.Loretta a 12-year-old girl D.Victoria an 8-year-old girl

3.What makes some students give up part-time jobs ?

A.They are now more afraid of hard work.

B.Taking part-time jobs may be harmful to their later life.

C.Going out to work hinders their performance in school.

D.Taking part-time jobs isn’t a great way to help them learn skills.

4.Rachel likes her part-time job because ___________

① She can make some money.

② She can get good grades.

③ It helps her talk with people confidently.

A.①② B.③④ C.①③ D.②④

5.The writer’s purpose in writing the passage is___________

A.To introduce his own part-time job experience.

B.To encourage students to take a part-time job.

C.To tell students how to keep a balance between study and jobs.

D.To make a survey on part-time jobs.

Many of us have had this experience: we lie down in a bed other than our own, perhaps at a friend’s house or in a hotel room, and find it difficult to fall asleep. Is it because the bed is uncomfortable? Maybe, but perhaps there can be other reasons.

According to a new study published in Current Biology, a significant reason is what the scientists call “first night effect”. They believe that one side of the brain acts as a “night watch” to warn us about potential (潛在的) dangers. It forces us to stay awake on the first night in a new environment.

For the study, 35 young volunteers were told to sleep in a lab for several days. Meanwhile, researchers watched their brain activities.

According to the researchers, on their first night, the left brains were more active than the right brains and people had a hard time sleeping. However, left-brain activity reduced as days went by, falling even to the point of complete calm. In this process, the volunteers got an increasingly better sleep experience.

The findings suggest that the different rhythms (節(jié)奏) of the sides of the brain influence our sleep. When the two sides work differently, the balance between them is broken. Thus, the brain can’t relax and is sensitive to anything strange in the surroundings, just as it is in the daytime.

“At some level, the brain is continuing to analyze(分析) things, even though you don’t realize the analysis,” US professor Jerome Siegel told Smithsonian Magazine. “If something unusual happens – if a door opens or you hear a key in a lock – you can be alert (警惕的).”

More surprisingly, this situation is similar to the way some animals sleep. Whales, dolphins, and many birds can sleep with half of their brain while the other half stays awake.

If you have ever had what you think is “first night effect”, researchers suggest that you bring your own pillow or sleep in a room similar to your bedroom next time you sleep away from home.

Recently, my college degree has just been completed. The last project was called “Smile”. I was a1. to go out to smile at three people and write down their reactions. I am a very f2. person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake.

I went out to McDonald. I was standing in line when s3.everyone around me began to back away. As I turned around to see what was happening, an unpleasant body smell came to my n4. and two poor men stood just behind me. As I looked at the short blue-eyed gentleman standing c5. to me, he was “smiling”. He said, “Good day” as he counted the few coins that he had. The second man fumbled (摸索) w6. his hands. At that moment, I realized the second man was mentally retarded (智力遲鈍), and the blue-eye gentleman was his protector.

The young lady at the counter asked what they wanted. The gentleman said, “Coffee is all, Miss,” because that was all they could a7..

Then I really felt it—I embraced (擁抱) the short man with the blue eyes. That was when I n8. all eyes in the restaurant were set on me. I smiled and asked the lady for two m9.meals and gave them to the men. The gentleman looked up at me and said, “Thank you.”

 I returned to my college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand. I turned in my project and we s10.the story in the class. It was then that I knew in my own way I had touched the people at McDonald’s and everyone that heard the story in the classroom. I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn.
