A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night′s sleep． But now a study has found it really does help people nod off﹣ if it is milked from a cow at night．
Researchers have discovered that" night milk" has more melatonin（褪黑激素），which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and less worried．
In the study， mice were fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night by researchers from Seoul， South Korea．
Those given night milk， which had 10 times the amount of melatonin， were less active and less worried than those fed with the milk collected during daytime， according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food．
Night milk quicken the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer．
While the effect of milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now， taking melatonin medicine has been suggested to those who are trying to fall asleep at night．
Studies have also showed that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because there is calcium（钙）in it， which helps people to relax．
Milk is also sugar﹣free because it is the least fattening． The more fat you take in before bedtime， the greater burden you will have on your body at night．

Ted Brown's dream as a child was an unusual one：he wanted to fly．What was more unusual was the way in which he made his dream come true．
After high school，he wanted to join the U．S．Air Force but he failed because of his poor eyesight．However，his dream remained．
At the age of 33，Ted was a truck driver in Los Angeles．One day，while sitting outside in his garden，he watched planes fly overhead and an idea came to him：to use balloons（气球） to fly．
A few weeks later，Ted bought 42 huge balloons．He tied them to a chair and then he sat down in the chair with some beer，sandwiches and a gun．His plan was to fly to 10 meters above his garden，enjoy a few hours in the air，and then shoot some balloons with his gun to get back down．But things did not go as he planned．
Once his friends cut the ropes under Ted's chair，the 42 balloons flew into the sky at an astonishing speed until about 4000 meters above the ground with Ted and his chair．He didn't shoot any of the balloons because he was afraid he might break the balanee（平衡） of his"plane"．Ted stayed in the sky with his beer and sandwiches for 14 hours，cold and frightened．
Planes heading towards Los Angeles'busy international airport reported the strange sight．And Ted's balloons caused great danger to them．At last，Ted gathered his courage to shoot a few balloons and slowly landed on the ground，where many policemen were waiting for him．
Ted made his dream come true，but it cost him：he was fined（罚款） 1，500dollars for breaking the law about air safety．
When asked by a reporter why he had done it，Ted answered，"A man can't just sit around and do nothing； he should have his dream and go for it．"

This is what Murphy' s Law tells us： If things can go wrong，they will go wrong．But is it true？
Of the studies about Murphy' s Law，the most famous one is the buttered toast （烤面包片）phenomenon （现象）： One toast with butter falls，it lands butter﹣side down most of the time．
To prove this，Robert Matthews did a lot of experiments with more than 1，000British school kids in 2001．
In the first experiment，each student put a piece of buttered toast on a plate，let it fall off 20times and noted which side it landed on．Of almost 10，000experiments，toast landed butter﹣side down 62percent of the time．
But you may ask： Is it the butter that plays a role？ Here comes Matthews' second experiment．
This time，instead of butter，the toast had a letter "B" written on one side．It still landed 58 percent of the time on the B﹣side．
This proved that Murphy' s Law is true： If the toast can land butter﹣side down，it will do so．
Matthews did another experiment．When students threw the toast from a height of 2.5metres，the toast landed butter﹣side down only 47percent of the time．
"Toast lands butter﹣side down because humans aren' t tall enough to let it land any other way，" Matthews said．
根据上文内容判断正 （T） 误（F）
（1）According to Murphy' s Law，in an English class，if you don' t want to be questioned by the teacher，you may end up failing answering the questions．
（2）In the first experiment of buttered toast，we know the toast landed butter﹣side down about 620times．
（3）If the toast can land butter﹣side down，Murphy' s Law is true．
（4）In the first two experiments，either the butter or the letter "B" plays a role．
（5）The passage is mainly talking about Murphy' s Law depends on people' s mental state（心理状态）．

Are you happy most of the time？Or do you easily get angry sometimes？Everyone has a different temperament（脾气）．It is usually believed that both genes（基因） and environment may influence people's temperament in different ways．Scientists have found that the season of the birth also plays a role．
Scientists from Budapest，Hungary，studied 400 university students．In the study，the students needed to finish some questions to know which of four kinds of temperaments they most had．From the questions，scientists found that the students always answered something like "My mood（情绪） often changes for no reason．"and" I love to deal with new projects，even if it is risky．"These answers were then connected with their birthdays．
They discovered that people born in summer easily change between sad and happy moods compared to people born in winter．Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring and summer．
The study also found that those born in fall less probably had a mood of depressionwhich may easily drive them to cry，while those in winter were not easier to be angry．
Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals in the human body．And the chemicals are important to control people's moods even in adult life．"It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your change of developing certain mood disorders．"scientist Xenia Gonda told the Telegraph．
