Many things around us may affect our feelings and moods． such as colors， weather， rews and the environment． I believe that it is important to keep a good mood as much as possible in our life． As the saying goes， "Pleasure is health． "

Once there was a man traveling in a faraway village．As he was passing the elephants，he suddenly stopped．He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg．No chains，no cages．It was clear that the elephants could，at any time，break away from their ropes but for some reason，they did not．

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn't try to get away．'Well，'the trainer said，'when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and，at that rage，it's enough to hold them．As they grow up，they still believe they cannot break away．They believe the rope can hold them，so they never try to break free．'

How could it be？These animals could at any time break free from their ropes．But because they always stuck right where they were，they believed they couldn't．

Just like the elephants，how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something，just because we failed at it once before？

Many people have a fear of speaking in front of people． According to a study， it has an influence on 3in every 4people． This fact is surprising and worrying， as most jobs require the speaking ability． The following will help you to make a speech better．

Write note cards． Write main ideas on your cards． Don't write details． Put in some fun facts， questions， and other activities on the cards to share with the class． Don't look at your note cards for a long time while speaking． If necessary， you're only going to have a quick look at the card for information， not read every word．

Smile at your class． When it comes to speaking， there's nothing that draws your class into your speech better than a good old﹣fashioned smile． Be happy， because you're about to teach your class something they didn't know before． Studies have shown that smiles are infectious． That means once you smile， it's hard for everyone else not to smile． So if you want your speech to go off well， smile． That'll make everyone smile and maybe those smiles will make you actually smile．

Make eye contact． Nothing is more boring than listening to a speaker who looks at the floor or note cards． Relax． Your class is made up of your friends and you talk to them all the time． Talk the same way now． Have a look at every person in the classroom at least once． That way， everyone will feel like you're communicating with them． Also， you'll look like you know what you're talking about．

Use hand motions． Move your hands along as you talk， using them to express your key points and keep the class interested． It will also lead your nervous energy into a better place．

It was a Christmas night． I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on such a beautiful festival． When I was complaining（抱怨）about it， three people appeared at my desk ﹣ a tired woman and two children．

"Are you all sick？" I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right．

"Yes，" the woman answered weakly and lowered her head．

But when they started to present their problems， things became unclear． One child had a fever， but his temperature was OK． The other child had an earache， but she could not tell me which ear hurt． It seemed that the mother was pretending to cough．

The family huddled（蜷缩）together under the Christmas tree， smiling and talking with each other sweetly． Quietly， I went back to the nurses' station and told them what happened in the waiting room． It was just like God sending us a gift on Christmas Day． The nurses' station suddenly came back to life． All the nurses went into action for "a Christmas emergency（急诊）"．

I grew up poor﹣﹣﹣living in a big family with six brothers，three sisters，my father，and a wonderful mother．We had little money，but plenty of love and attention．I was very happy and energetic．I understood that no matter how poor a person was，he could still afford a dream．

My dream was sports．By the time I was sixteen，I could throw a ninety﹣mile﹣per﹣hour baseball and hit anything that moved on the field．I was also lucky：my high school coach was Ollie Jarvis，who not only believed in me，but also taught me how to believe in myself．One special incident（事件） with him changed my life forever．

It was the summer between my junior and senior years，and I was offered a summer job．This meant a chance for money in my pocket﹣money for dates with girls，money for a new bike，new clothes，and I could begin to save money for a house for my mother．

Then I realized，to do that work，I would have to give up summer baseball training．When I told coach Jarvis，he was as angry as I expected him to be．"You have your whole life to work，"he said，"Your time for playing isn't long．You can't afford to waste it．"

I stood before him with my head banging，trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment in me．

"How much are you going to make at this job，son？"he asked．

"Three twenty﹣five an hour．"I replied．

"Well，"he asked，"is 3.5 an hour the price of a dream？"That simple question made me understand the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal for the future．I practiced hard that summer，and within the year I was chosen by a famous team to play baseball，and was offered 20，000 a year．

Later，I was given a baseball scholarship to the University of Arizona，which led me to an education．In 1984，I began to play the Denver Bronces for ＄ 1.7 million a year，And Certainly，I bought my mother the house of my dream!

How much sleep is enough？

To stay in good health，some expert in the US say，adults should get seven to eight hours of sleep．Teenager need nine to ten hours．And pre﹣school children need more than 10 hours of sleep a night．

Experts say the quality（质量）of our sleep becomes poor as we grow older．This happens because the brain unit that controls sleep begins to weaken slowly as we age．

Experts say the change starts in our 30s．By the time we reach our 50s，a person may have lost 50 percent of their ability to have a restful sleep.

These people have trouble failing and staying asleep through the night．From middle age on，these problems only get worse，and they can have a bad effect on their health．

Signs that show you may not be getting enough sleep．

You're always hungry or you've got unwanted weight．If you are in short of sleep，certain chemicals in your body will not work well and tell your brain in time that you have eaten enough．

You have trouble making decisions．Not having enough sleep may make your brain work slower in problem solving．

You have trouble remembering things．Sleep helps prepare the brain for new memories．

Your feeling changes unreasonably．People who don't sleep well may feel unable to control their feelings．

You are having trouble seeing．If there is a shortage of sleep，you may not be able to see thing as clearly as usual．

How to improve your sleep？Here are a few things people can do to get better sleep．

Health experts say that exercise and avoiding work on computers make people go to sleep more easily．A cool room is also a good choice for sleeping well．

55．What can we learn from the passage？ 　 　

A．	With the help of medicine，we can sleep better．
