Insomnia (失眠) is the inability to sleep calmly and relaxedly. It is a problem to nearly everyone at some time. A person may be awake for an hour in the middle of the night and then,next morning, may feel that he hardly slept all night. Normally, worry about not getting enough sleep is the worst aspect of most insomnia. If insomnia occurs repeatedly, it is important to findits possible causes and try to correct them.Any of simple factors may make one feel difficult to fall asleep. His mattress (床垫) may be too soft or too hard. If there are too many blankets (毯子) on a hot night, he may be too warm; if the mattress is too light he may feel cold during the night. The bedroom itself may be over heatedor too cold. If it is not dark enough, or too noisy, thismay cause difficulty in sleeping. Eating shortly before going to bed may also be responsible for insomnia. Drinking tea or coffee can also make people awake.The cause of insomnia may be easy to correct. The sufferer should cheek the mattress, and bedroom temperature, and make any necessary changes. He should relax for an hour or twobefore bedtime, perhaps by reading a book, watching television or taking a warm bath. If he wakes during the night he should try turning on the light and reading for a while. Taking warm milk and a biscuit or two may be helpful. The method mentioned above in treating insomnia is to().

There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill.There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it and how to encourage a child to write without holding him back with the complexities of spelling.If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child willbe likely to "play safe", He will tend to write only words with in his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers of ten encourage the early use of dictionaries andpay attention to content rather than technical ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a piece of writing about a personal experience:"This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is not neat." Itmay have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing. But it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors. But if his priorities had centred on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the writing would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.\ We can learn from the last paragraph that teachers should().
A. encourage students to write the words within their spelling range
B. only pay attention to students’ ideas in writing
C. pay more attention to students’ ideas than technical abilities
D. improve their interest in students’ spelling errors
