Sound sleep occurs when one’s internal clock is regulated. Circadian rhythms （生理节奏）can become compromised quite easily. Many people with sleep troubles tend to vary bedtimes. To avoid this common problem, sleep sufferers should go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. To help improve circadian rhythms, sufferers should enjoy 15 minutes of sun exposure the first thing in the morning.
A bedtime routine can help prevent insomnia （失眠）.One hour before bedtime, one should lower the lights and relax. Reading a book or listening to calm music can help prepare the body for a good night's sleep. Taking a warm, candlelit bath or drinking a cup of warm milk can also help you prepare for deep sleep at night.
Stress can have a bad effect on the body and the ability to sleep. A daily exercise routine can help lower the body's stress naturally. One can also manage stress by writing diaries. Writing diaries can help people express their anxieties, plan for the future and improve sleep. Other ways to lower stress include deep breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation.

Passage Two
Tom was aged four but he was talking like a two-year-old baby. He was saying such things as “kick ball” and “want car”, and using lots of one-word sentences. He should have been saying some really long sentences and telling stories with them. He wasn’t. Something had gone terribly wrong.
Quite a few children have what is called a“language delay”. For some reason they don’t
learn to speak as quickly as they should. Their friends shoot ahead and they’re left behind. As a result, they get very lonely. Nobody wants to talk to you if you can’t talk back.
Can anything be done to help these children? Yes. They can go to see a speech therapist—a person who' s specially trained to work out what' s wrong and who knows how to teach language to children. This is what happened to Tom. The speech therapist played some games with him and heard how he talked. She made a recording of his speech, and chatted to his mom and dad about his background. They’d taken Tom to see a doctor, but the doctor hadn’t found anything wrong with him. He seemed perfectly normal in every way—except he just wasn’t talking.
After Tom and his parents had gone home, the therapist listened carefully to the recording she’d made. Then she looked at a chart which showed how language developed in children aged two, three, and four. She could see Tom was a long way behind.
The next step, she decided,was to teach Tom how to say some new sentences like \red ball，'‘ and \But the therapist was very patient, and after a few more visits he started to make some progress. 40.How did the author introduce the topic of this passage? A.By describing grammar errors made by kids. B.By sharing experiences of speech therapists. C.By using Tom’s case as an example. D.By stating his personal views to readers.
41.What can be inferred from the passage about “language delay”?
A.It can be prevented by doctors. B. It is seldom found among children. C. It can be improved with certain help. D. It may result from hearing problems. 42.What did the speech therapist do to help Tom? A.She told others that Tom was normal in every way. B.She asked Tom to play with some other children. C.She made some recordings of his parents' s peech. D.She taught Tom new sentences in a patient way. 43. What is the best title for the passage? A.What Can Doctors Do with Language Delay?
