Why We Need Vacations The benefits of taking a vacation start long before the suitcases are packed. 1 It may only be a temporary staging post but looking ahead to a vacation gives us the sense that, whatever’s happening at the moment, there’s an end in sight. We somehow expect to feel differently afterwards and are usually proved right. It’s no coincidence that companies sometimes use away-breaks to restore motivation and team relationships. 2 If nothing else, noticing how your thoughts or mood can change on vacation proves that it’s possible to feel differently. Yet taking a break is only part of the picture. People don’t disappear while on vacation or go into suspended animation. 3 What really makes the difference is not simply geeing away from the old grind;it’s being able to do something else instead. We might speak to people we wouldn’t normally meet, try spots we’d not do otherwise and discover interests we never knew we had. Vacations also allow us to focus on the present in a way that’s hard to do at home. 4 Sightseeing walks and other recreational activities keep our minds even more in the here and now. This does much more than provide a few pleasant experiences. Being "in the moment" is in itself one of the keys to relaxation, and this happens more naturally on vacation. Useful as they are in relation to the future, vacations can be even more important in relation to the past. Like major holidays and the change of seasons, vacations punctuate the year and give it a unique character. 5 Vacations are one of these markers. You often hear people recall, for example, that "it was the year we went to Disneyland" or "right after we got back from camping". Family vacations can be some of clearest memories people have from their childhoods and important parts of a family’s shared history. A. We’re still thinking and feeling the whole time we’re away. B. If you’re able to switch off and leave everyday patterns behind, when you come back, you often view old situations with fresh eyes and see them in a new light. C. A vacation is something to look forward to and keeps long stretches of routine from seeming endless. D. Every vacation is an adventure full of potential discoveries. E. Ask someone about a certain period of time and they’ll pinpoint it by going back over landmark events. F. When you’re in a new environment for a short space of time, your attention tends to be on what’s happening right now and in the next few days.
More Than 8 Hours Sleep Too Much of a Good Thing 1 Although the dangers of too little sleep are widely known, a new research suggest that people who sleep too much may also suffer the consequences. 2 Investigators at the University of California in San Diego found that people who clock up 9 or 10 hours each weeknight appear to have more trouble falling and staying asleep, as well as a number of other sleep problems, than people who sleep 8 hours a night. People who slept only 7 hours each night also said they had more trouble falling asleep and feeling refreshed after a night’s sleep than 8 hour sleepers, 3 These findings, which DL Daniel Kripke reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, demonstrate that people who want to get a good night’s rest may not need to set aside more than 8 hours a night. He added that "it might be a good idea"for people who sleep more than 8 hours each night to consider reducing the amount of time they spend in bed, but cautioned that more research is needed to confirm this. 4 Previous studies have shown the potential dangers of chronic shortages of sleep, for instance, one report demonstrated that people who habitually sleep less than 7 hours each night have a higher risk of dying within a fixed period than people who sleep more. 5 For the current report, Kripke reviewed the responses of 1, 004 adults to sleep questionnaires, in which participants indicated how much they slept during the week and whether they experienced any sleep problems. Sleep problems included waking in the middle of the night, arising early in the morning and being unable to fall back to sleep, and having fatigue interfere with day-to-day functioning. 6 Kripke found that people who slept between 9 and 10 hours each night were more likely to report experiencing each sleep problem than people who slept 8 hours. In an interview, Kripke noted that long sleepers may struggle to get rest at night simply because they spend too much time in bed. As evidence, he added that one way to help insomnia is to spend less time in bed. "It stands to reason that if a person spends too long a time in bed, then they’ll spend a higher percentage of time awake." he said. A. Kripke’s research tool B. Dangers of Habitual shortages of sleep C. Kripke’s research about reducing sleeping time D. A way of overcoming insomnia E. Sleep problems of long and short sleepers F. A new research about too much sleep Paragraph 4______
Elephant Tamer The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village’ where they ran for safety. That didn’t stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess. Parbati Barua’s father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant roundup-how to catch wild elephants. Parhati hasn’t always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to hoarding school in the city. But Parhati never got used to being there and many years later she went hack to her old life. "Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says. But Parbati doesn’t catch elephants just for fun. "My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parhati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill. The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. "Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans," she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed! Keeping the elephants safe from man is Parbati’s only work.______
