Campus topic1

It seems like only yesterday that I was sitting where you are, just finishing my first year of medical school and wondering if I’d ever get a chance to use all my new knowledge on a (the) real life patients.
Well, I have good news for you . You don’t have to wait until your third or fourth year of Medical school to get some hands-on experience. The dean has invited me here to tell you about the university’s rural opportunity program. If you enroll in this program, you can have the opportunity this summer, after your first year of medical school, to spend from four to six weeks observing and assisting a real physician like me in a small rural community. You won’t have to compete with other students for time and attention, and you can see what life as(of) country doctor is real like.
The program was designed to encourage medical students like yourselves to consider careers in(and) rural communities that are still understaffed. It seems that medical students are afraid(free)to go into rural family practice for two reasons. First, they don’t know much about it And second, specialists in the cities usually make more money. But on the up-side, in rural practice, doctors can really get to know their patients and be (they) respected members of community.
I participated in the program when it first started(study) and spent six weeks in a (the) small rural town. Let me tell you , it was really great. I got to work(s) with really patients .I watched the birth of a(the) child , assisted an accident victim
and had lots(a lot) of really practical hands-on experience all in one summer.And to my surprise I found the country life have a lot of offer that the city life doesn’t, no pollution or traffic jam for instance.

My experience made me (may be) want to work where I’m needed and appreciated.I don’t miss the city at all.

第三篇打工场景
Good afternoon, I’m here today to talk to you about career with our airline. We are especially interested in recruiting people to fill openings for flight attendants (attendance).

First of all, to work as the flight attendants with us, you must be accepted into our training program. And with so many people applying, it’s not easy to be selected. From (For) the thousands of applications that we received annually, we choose fewer than a(of)thousand of people for training. So, we require experience serving the public, and it also helps if you’ve earned(d不发音)some college credits.

Also not everybody who gets (the) accepted into the training program makes it through.
The course (Because) meets six (ty) days a weeks for five weeks. The training includes extensive (standard) classroom work(ing) in such subjects atfirst aid and passenger psychology as well as practical training in flight procedures (passenger) and meal service. A lot of ourgraduates say that our flight attendants develop the skills of (and) a nurse, a headwaiter and a public relations executive.

But as (it’s)a flight attendant (to) myself , I can see that all of the hard work is worth it. Of course I get to travel throughout the country and the airline pays all of my expense (experience) where I’m away from my base (basic) station. And what I like best of all is that I’ve made friends with people from all over the country

2月5日听力场景下 campus life4Housing 场景

I need to make sure you understand how to get housing for next year. When you entered as first- year students this year, the school assigned you to a dorm and aroommate. But next year, as a returning student you’ll choose both your roommate and your dorm. But whether or not you actually get to live in your first choice depends on what number you or your roommate draws in the lottery system. The system gives riority to the students who’ve been here longest. Fourth -year students get the first block of numbers. Third -years get the second block, and second -years -like you’ll -be get the third. The lower the number you draw, the sooner you choose. Number one gets the first choice , number two gets the second choice and so on.

You can use either your own or your intended roommate’s number to make your room choice. If your roommate for next year has been at(in) the school longer than you have, they’ll be in a(the) better block of numbers, and so will have better number than any of the second- year students. But most of you will probably be rooming with other second -year students, and so neither of you may have a great number. You may not get into your first or even second choice. Of course if you’ve made plans to live off(out of) the campus, you don’t need to enter the lottery at all.

Dorm space will be especially tight this year, because the dorms on North Campus will be closed for renovations. This means that those of you who draw the worst numbers won’t be able to get dorm housing at all. In that case the housing office will help you(have)find off-campus housing。

听力下历史类1舞蹈 2月5日第二篇
Listen to a talk about a program sponsored by a student organization
   Good evening, my name is Pam Jones, and (I’m) on behalf of the Modern Dance Club. I’d like to welcome you to tonight’s program. The club is pleased to present the TV version of the Catherine Wheel, Twyla Tharp’s rock ballet. This video version of the ballet has been even more successful with audiences than the original theater production. It includes some animation, slow motion, and stop-action freezes that really help the audience understand the dance.
   The title of the piece refers to Saint Catherine, who died on a wheel(注意其发音) in 307 AD. Nowadays, a Catherine Wheel is also a kind of firework. It looks something like a pinwheel. Anyway the dance is certainly full of fireworks. You’ll see how Twyla Tharp explores one family’s attempts to confront the violence in modern life. The central symbol of the work is the pineapple .But exactly what it represents has always created a lot of controversy. As you watch, see if you can figure it out.
    The music for this piece is full of the rhythmic energy of (energetic) rock music. It was composed by David Byrne ~~of the rock band Talking Heads? And the leader dancer in this version was Sara Rudner who is perfectly suited to Tharp’s adventurous (adverdure)choreography.
    Following the video, dance teacher Mary Parker will lead the discussion about the symbolism Ms. Tharp used. We hope you can stay for that. So enjoy tonight’s video and thank you for your support.

听力场景下历史类2 Monticello
   Before starting our tour of Monticello, I’d like to give you some historical factors that might help you appreciate what you see today even more.
   Monticello was the very much loved home of Thomas Jefferson for over fifty years. Jefferson who was, of course, President, was also a great reader and language enthusiast. He read widely on different subjects,including architecture. He wasn’t formally trained architecture, but as a result of his(听成pis)study and observation of other buildings, he was able to help design and(in) build(ing)the house. He chose the site himself, naming the estate Monticello, which meant the “little mountain” in Italia. In fact, many of the ideas behind the design also came from the Italian architect Andrea Palladio who lived in the sixteenth century and who had a great influence on the architecture of England.
   Jefferson, however, ignored one of Palladio’s principles that is not to built in a high place. Monticello’s elevation made the transportation of what was needed at the house, for example food especially difficult. But the view from this estatewill not be as spectacular if Jefferson had followed Palladio’s advice. There really is no(now) boundary between the house and nature around it. And so Jefferson was able to look out on his beloved state of Virginia from this wonderful (ad)vantage point. Now we’ll go on to Jefferson’s library.

历史类3 thatching
Welcome to the four windsHistorical farm where traditions of the past are preserved for visitors like you. Today our master thatches will begin giving this barn behind me a sturdy thatched roof able to withstand heavy winds and last up to a hundred years. How do they do it? Well in a nutshell,thatching involves covering the beams or rafters,-the wooden skeletonof a roof -with reeds or straw. Our thatches here have harvested their own natural materials for the job, the bundles of water reeds you see lying over there beside the barn.
Thatching is certainly uncommon in Untied States today. I guess that’s why so many of you have come to see this demonstration. But it wasn’t always that way. In the seventeenth century, the colonists here thatched their roofs with weeds and straw, just as they had done in England. After a while , though, they begun to replace the thatch with wood shingles because wood was so plentiful. And eventually other roofing materials like stone,
slate, and clay tiles came into use.
It’s a real shame that most people today don’t realize how strong and long-lasting a thatched roof is. In Ireland ,where thatching is still practiced, the roofs can survive winds of up to one hundred ten miles per hour. That’s because straw and reeds are so flexible. They bend but don’t break in the wind like other materials can. Another advantage is the roofs keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. And then, of course, that’s the roofs’longevity, the average is sixty years, but they can last up to 100. With all these reasons to start thatching roofs again, wouldn’t it be wonderful to see this disappearing craft return to popularity?

历史类4 coffee

   A lot of people in the United States are coffee drinkers. Over the last few years, a trend has been developing to introduce premium specially blended coffees known as “gourmet coffees” into the American market.
   Boston seems to be the birthplace of this trend. In fact, major gourmet coffee merchants from other cities like Seattle and San Francisco came to Boston, where today they are engaged in a kind of coffee war with Boston’s merchants. They are all competing for a significant share of the gourmet coffee market. Surprisingly, the competition among these leading gourmet coffee businesses will not hurt any of them. Experts predict that gourmet coffee market in the United States is growing and will continue to grow, to the point that gourmet coffee will soon capture half of what is now a 1.5-million-dollar market and will be an eight million dollar market by 1999.
   Studies have shown that coffee drinkers who convert to gourmet coffee seldom go back to the regular brands found in supermarkets. As a result, these brands will be the real losers in the gourmet coffee competition.

历史类5photography

Listen to a part of talk in an art history class.
You may remember that a few weeks ago we discussed the question of what photography is. Is it art or is it a method of reproducing images? Do photographs belong in museums or just in our homes? Today I want to talk about a person who tried to make his professional life an answer to such questions. Alfred Stieglitz went from the United States to Germany to study engineering. While he was there, he became interested in photography and began to experience with his camera. He took pictures under conditions that most photographers considered too difficult--he took them at night, in the rain, and of people and objects reflected in windows. When he returned to the United States, he continued these revolutionary efforts .Stieglitz was the first person to photograph skyscrapers, clouds and views from an airplane.
What Stieglitz was trying to do in these photographs was what he tried to do throughout his life--make photography an art. He felt(总是听成thought) that photography could be just as good a form self-expression as painting or drawing. For Stieglitz his camera was his brush. While（听不出来）many photographers of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s thought of their work as a reproduction of identical images. Stieglitz saw his as a creative art form. He understood the power of the camera to capture the moment. In fact, he never retouched his prints or made copies of them. If he were in this classroom today, I'm sure he’d say(his saying),“well, painters don't normally make extra copies of painting ,do they?”

business 1
Listen to an instructor in a business class
   I hope you've finished reading the assigned chapter on insurance, so that you’re prepared for our discussion today. But, before we start, I'd like to mention a few things your text doesn't go into.
It's interesting to note that insurance has existed in some form(s) for a very long time. The earliest insurance policies were called bottomry(boundary) contracts. They provided shipping protections for merchants as far back as three thousand BC.
   In general, the contracts were often no more(normal) than verbal agreements. They granted loans to merchants with the understanding than if a(总是听成that for) particular shipment of goods was lost at sea. The loan didn't have to be repaid. Interest on the loans varied according to how risky it was to transport the goods. During periods of heavy piracy at sea, for example, the amount of interest and(连读stan) the cost of the policy went up considerably.
   So you can see how insurance helped encourage international trade. Even the most cautious merchants became willing to risk shipping their goods over long distances--not to mention in hazardous weather conditions when they had this kind of protection available.
   Generally speaking, the basic form of an insurance policy has been pretty much the same since the Middle Ages. There are four points that we are salient then and remain paramount in all policies today. There(总是听成these) were outlined in chapter 6 and will serve as the basis for the rest of today's discussion. Can anyone tell me what one of those points might be?
bottomry船舶抵押契约(如船舶损失,则债务取消),冒险借贷
as far back as 早在，远在
ship vt.运送
verbal adj.词语的, 言语的, 字句的/口头的/动词的
grant vt.准许; 答应给予/承认 n.补助金, 助学金, 津贴
shipment n.船运, 水运/ 从海路、陆路或空运的)一批货物
piracy n.海盗行为, 海上掠夺
hazardous adj.冒险的, 有危险的
hazard vt.尝试着做，冒险做 n.危险，公害
outline n./vt.提纲，要点，概述//外形，轮廓
salient adj.显著的, 重要的, 主要的
paramount adj.最高的, 至上的; 首要的, 主要的

生物类1 试验介绍
Listen to a talk by an instructor in a biology laboratory.
Before we start our first lab, I'd like to tell you a little bit about the workbook we’ll be using. The first thing I'd like to point out is that the workbook contains a very large amount of material, far more than you could ever handle in a single semester. What you’re supposed to do is choose the experiments and activities that you want to do，within a certain framework, of course. Part of my job is to help you make your choices.
Next I'd like to mention that in each workbook chapter. There are usually two subsections. The first is called “Experiments” and the second is called the “Activities”.
In the “Experiment” section，the workbook gives full instructions for all the experiments including alternate
procedures. Choose the procedure you wish, there's plenty of equipment available.
In the “Activities” section, you will find suggestions for projects you can do on your own time. You will see that there are usually no detailed instructions for(总是听成but) the activities--you are supposed to do them (on) your own way.
If there are no questions, let's turn to chapter 1 now.

生物类第二篇pest
Listen to Science Watch--a daily radio program
Words comes from(through) California of a new weapon in the war on household pests. Two scientists working for a firm in Anaheim, California, have developed a method to eliminate insects without using dangerous chemicals. The new poison? Hot air. (注意hot发音)
The basic idea is that the insects can not adjust to temperatures much above normal. In laboratory experiments cockroaches and termites cann’t survive much more than a quarter of an hour at 125 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 50 degrees centigrade.
The new method involves covering the house with a huge tent and filling it with the air heated to around 65degrees centigrade. Hot air is forced in with fans, and the tent keeps the heat inside the house. Since termites try to escape by hiding in wooden beams, the heat treatment must be continued for full six hours. But when it's all over and the insects are dead, there are no toxic residues to endanger humans or pets and no funny smells.
Scientists claim that there is no danger of fire either, since very few household materials will burn at 65 degrees centigrade. In fact, wood is prepared for construction use by drying it in ovens at 80 degrees centigrade which is substantially hotter than air used in this procedure.
cockroach n.蟑螂
termite n.白蚁
Fahrenheit adj.华氏温度计的 n. 华氏温度计
beam n.梁, 横梁\束, 柱
toxic [ˈtɔksik]adj.有毒的；因中毒引起的
residue [ˈrezidju:]n剩余, 余渣/〈律〉剩余财产
funny 稍感不适的

生物类3 fish
Listen to a part of lecture given in a marine biology class.
To us, the environment in which fish dwell often seems cold, dark ,and mysterious, But there (they) are advantages to living in water and they have played an important role in making the fish what they are. One is that water isn't subject to sudden temperature changes. Therefore it makes an excellent habitat for a cold-blooded animal. Another advantage is the water's ability to easily support body weight. Protoplasm has approximately the same density as water, so a fish in water is almost weightless. This “weightlessness” in turn means two things: One, a fish can get along with a light weight and simple bone structure, and two, limitations to a fish’s size are practically removed.
Yet there is one basic difficulty to living in water, the fact that is incompressible. For a fish to move through water, it must actually shove it aside. Most can do these by wiggling back and forth in snakelike motion. The fish pushes water aside by the forward motion of its head, and with the curve of its body and its flexible tail. Next the water flows back along the fish’s narrowing sides closing in at the tail, and helping the fish propel itself forward.
The fact that water is incompressible has literally shaped the development of fish. A flat and angular shape can be moved through water only with difficulty. And for this reason, fish have a basic shape that is beautifully adapted to deal with this peculiarity.

生物类4 bird
Listen to a museum guide described one of the new museum exhibits.
We've just seen two contemporary large birds that cannot fly: the emu and the ostrich. Over here is an interesting specimen from the past. This stuffed animal is not giant penguin it appears to be , but an auk. This particular kind of auk is very rare, only 78 skins are known to exist, and most are not preserved as well as this one(跟读好久). The great auk as you can see, was rather a large bird and it couldn't fly either. However, evidence suggests that the auk was an excellent swimmer and diver. Unfortunately, those abilities didn't protect it from being easy prey for hungry sailors who yeas ago sailed the very cold and often icy waters of Greenland, Iceland and Scotland. In fact records(注意它的发音) indicate that auk was rather tasty and that its eggs-excuse me-that is eggs and feathers were useful as well. Still it is not clear what other factors led to big bird’s demise around 1844. The last time anyone reported seeing one. Of course, we believe it's important to take extra precautions to preserve the remaining great auk skins. After all, these specimens should prove invaluable for future scientific research. Does anyone have any questions before we move on to our next bird exhibit?

天文学1火星
Listen to a talk on the radio about research project.
Located at the NACC Research Centre in Iowa is a five thousand gallon vat of water, and inside the tank is an underwater treadmill designed by Dava Newman-an aerospace engineer. For four years Newman observed scuba divers as they simulated walking on the Moon and on Mars on her underwater moving belt. She wanted to discover how the gravity of the Moon and of mars would affect(infect) human movement.
To do this(these), Newman attached weights to the divers, and then lowered them into the tank and onto the treadmill. These weights were carefully adjusted so that the divers could experience underwater the gravity of the Moon and of Mars as they walked on the treadmill. Newman concluded that walking on Mars will probably be easier than walking on the Moon. The Moon has less gravity than Mars does. So at lunar gravity, the divers struggled to keep their balance and walked awkwardly. But at Martian gravity, the divers had greater traction and stability and could easily adjust to a pace of one point five miles per hour. As Newman gradually increased the speed of the treadmill, the divers took longer, graceful strides until they comfortably settled into an even quicker pace. Newman also noted that at Martian gravity, the divers needed less oxygen.
The data Newman collected will help in the future design of Martian space suits. Compared to lunar space suits, Martian space suits will require smaller air tanks, and to allow for freer movement, the elbow and knee areas of the space suits will also be altered.

Thank you, it's great to see so many of you interested in this series on “Survival in Outer Space”. Please excuse the cameras-we’re being videotaped for the local TV stations.
Tonight I'm going to talk about the most basic aspect of survival-the space suit. When most of you imagine an astronaut, that's probably the first thing that comes to mind, right? Well, without space suits, it would not be possible for us to survive in space. For example, outer space is vacuum-there is no gravity or(注意发音) air pressure. Without protection, a body would explode. What's more, we’d cook in the sun or freeze in the shade-with temperatures ranging from a toasty 300 degrees above to a cool 300 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.
The space suit that NACC has developed is truly a marvel, this photo enlargement here is a life-size image of an actual space suit worn by astronauts on the last space shuttle mission. This part is the torso-it's made of seven extremely durable layers. This thick insulation protects against temperature extremes and radiation. Next is what they call a “bladder” of oxygen. That's an inflatable sac, filled with oxygen to simulate atmospheric pressure. This bladder presses against the body with the same force as the Earth’s atmosphere at sea level. The innermost layers provide liquid cooling and ventilation. Despite all the layers, the suit is flexible, allowing free movement, so we can work.
Another really sophisticated part of the space suit is the helmet. I brought one along to show you , Can I have a volunteer come and demonstrate?

天文学3 天文学家
Listen to the beginning of the talk on astronomy.
Most people think of astronomers as people who spend their time in cold observatories peering through telescopes every night. In fact, a typical astronomer spends most of his or her time analyzing data, and may only be at the(听不出来) telescope a few weeks of the year. Some astronomers work on purely theoretical problems and never use telescope at all.
You might not know how rarely images are viewed directly through telescopes. The most common way to observe the skies is to photograph them. The process is very simple. First, a photographic plate is coated with a light-sensitive material. The plate is positioned so that the image received by the telescope is recorded on it. Then the image can be developed, enlarged, and published, so that many people can study it.
Because most astronomical objects are very remote, the light we receive from them is rather feeble. But by using a telescope as a camera, long time exposures can be made. In this way objects can be photographed that are a hundred times too faint to be seen by just looking through a telescope.

地理1interior
Listen to part of lecture in the geology class.
I'm glad you('ve) brought up the question of our investigations into the makeup of the Earth’s interior(连读导致没听出来). In fact, since this is the topic of your reading assignment for next time. Let me spend these last few minutes of class talking about it. There were several important discoveries in the early part of this century that helped geologists develop a more accurate picture of the Earth’s interior.
The first key discovery had to do with seismic waves--remember they are the vibrations caused by earthquakes. Well, scientists found that they traveled thousands of miles through the Earth’s interior. This finding enabled geologists to study the inner parts of the Earth. You see, these studies revealed that these vibrations were of two types, compression or P --waves and shear or S—waves. And researchers found that P waves travel through both liquids and solids, while S waves travel only through solid matter.
In 1906 a British geologist discovered that P waves slowed down at a certain depth but kept traveling deeper. On the other hand, S waves either disappeared or were reflected back, so he concluded that the depth marked the boundary between the solid mantle and liquid core. Three years later another boundary was discovered--that between the mantle and the Earth’s crust. There’s still a lot to be learned about the Earth. For instance, geologists know that the core is hot. Evidence of this is the molten lava that flows out of the volcanoes, but we are still not sure what the source of the heat is.

seismic [ˈsaizmik]adj.地震的, 由地震引起的
compression[kəmˈpreʃən]n.挤压, 压缩/(内燃机的)压缩冲程
shear[ʃiə]vt.剪羊毛, 剪n.大剪刀
mantle n.地幔/覆盖物; 幕; 披风; 斗篷
molten [ˈməultən]adj.熔化的; 熔融的
lava [ˈlɑ:və]n.(火山喷发的)熔岩

地理2 climate
Listen to part of talk in the geology class.
Today I want to talk about the Earth's last major climatic shift, at the end of the last ice age.But first let's back up(of)a moment and review what we know about climatic change in general. First we defined “climate” as a consistent patterns of weather over significant periods of the time. In general, changes in climate occur when the energy balance of the Earth is disturbed. Solar energy enters the Earth’s atmosphere as light and is radiated by the Earth's surface as heat. Land, water, and ice each affect this energy exchange differently. The system is so complex that, to date, our best computer models are only crude approximations, and are not sophisticated enough to test hypotheses about the causes of climatic change.
Of course that doesn’t keep us from speculating. For instance, the volcanic activity is one mechanism that might affect climatic change. When large volcanoes erupt, they disperse tons of particles into the upper atmosphere where the particles then reflect light. Since less light is entering the system of energy exchange, the result would be a cooling of the Earth's surface. Of course, this is just one possible mechanism of global climate change. In all probability a complete explanation would involve several different mechanisms operating at the same time.

solar [ˈsəulə]adj.太阳的, 日光的
to date 至今, 直到今天, 到目前为止
approximation [əˌprɔksiˈmeiʃən]n.接近,走近,近似值
hypothesis[haiˈpɔθisis]n.假说, 假设, 前提 pl.hypotheses
volcanic [vɔlˈkænik]adj.火山的; 由火山作用引起的/暴烈的, 猛烈的
mechanism [ˈmekənizəm]n.机械装置/构造, 机制/办法, 技巧, 途径
particle [ˈpɑ:tikl]n.微粒, 颗粒, 〈物〉粒子

地理3mineral
Listen to a presentation being given in the geology class.
I'd like to begin by thanking doctor Kane for inviting me to be here today. Although I'm not geologist, I have been collecting minerals for years. My collection is really diverse(注意发音) because I've travelled all over the world to find them. Today I’ve brought a few specimens for you to see. After I discuss each one, I'll pass it around, so you can look at them more closely.
As you know, feldspars are the most abundant minerals and are divided into a number of types. These first samples are orthoclases. Notice that they vary in color from white to pink to red. This glassy one is found in volcanic rock. In fact, I found it in New Mexico on a collecting trip.
This next sample that I'll pass around is a microcline mineral, also called amazonstone. You can identify it by its bright green color. It is often used in jewelry and really is quite attractive.
These final samples are all plagioclase feldspars. Many plagioclases are very rare. So I'm particularly proud of the variety of my collection. I’ve also brought a few slides of some larger mineral samples, and if you’ll turn out the lights now, I'd like to show them to you.

feldspar [ˈfeldspɑ:]n.长石
microcline [ˈmaikrəuklain]n.微斜长石
amazonstone 天河石

地理11能源
Listen to part of lecture in enocology.
Since we've been discussing alternative fuels lately. I want to pass on to you some information. I
read about a new fuel that’s been in the news a lot lately. It's called A21.
It's composed of water and a chemical known as naphtha. It seems to be a very promising fuel because it's much cleaner than the gasoline that we use to be (today). That's not to say that it doesn't pollute, but it is cleaner. A21 isn't like some other alternative fuels that require completely new types of engines. A21 still works on regular, everyday combustion engines—like the ones in cars, with only minor mechanical modifications. So changing over wouldn’t be a big deal.
You may doubt some of these claims as many researchers have. Some people feard that because it contains about 45 percent (of) water. It would freeze in the winter. But a small amount of antifreeze was added to it(听不出来), and that seems to have solved the problem.
A21 is recently undergone street tests in buses in Reno, Nevada. So far it seems work just fine. This is a good thing, especially in Nevada, because the state government there has passed a law requiring that a large percentage of vehicles in Nevada run on alternative fuels. A21 should help.

alternative [ɔ:lˈtə:nətiv]adj.两者择一的, 供替代的/不寻常的, 非传统性的
n.取舍, 抉择, 可供选择的事物/选择的余地, 可供选择的机会

naphtha[ˈnæfθə]n.石脑油(一种石油馏分

人体生理心理2sleep
Listen to a radio broadcasted about sleep.
Do you have trouble sleeping at night? Then maybe this is for you. When you worry about needing sleep and toss and turn trying to find a comfortable position. You are probably only making matters worse. What happens when you do that, is that your heart rate actually increases making it more difficult to relax.
You may also have some bad habits that contribute to the problem. Do you rest frequently during the day? Do you get virtually no exercise, or do you exercise strenuously late in the day? Are you preoccupied with sleep or do you sleep late on weekends? Any or all of these factors might be leading to your insomnia by disrupting your body's nature rhythm.
What should you do, then on those sleepless nights? Don't bother with sleeping pills, they can actually cause worse insomnia later. The best thing to do is drink milk or eat cheese or tuna fish. These are all rich in amino acids and help produce a neurotransmitter in the brain that induces sleep. This neurotransmitter will help you relax, and you will be on your (注意发音)way to getting a good night sleep. Until tomorrow's broadcast, this has been another in the series, “Hints for Good Health”.

insomnia [inˈsɔmniə]n.〈医〉失眠(症)

2月20日人体生理心理4失眠Listen to a psychologist talk about sleep problems.
You might think that most of the patients at sleep clinic are being treated for sleeplessness, commonly refer to as insomnia, but that is not the case. The majority of sleep-clinic patients suffer from disorders of excessive sleep or “hypersomnia”. While most insomniacs
somehow
manage to drag themselves through the day and function at acceptable, although not optimal, levels, this is not so for people who suffer from hypersomnia.
They are incapacitated by irresistible urges to sleep during the day, often in inappropriate situations--at business meetings, in supermarkets, or parties. Even more dangerous is their failure to remainawake when（连读呀） driving or operating machinery. Falling asleep in such situations could obviously be life-threatening.
Many hypersomniacs suffer from narcolepsy, for which the primary symptom is excessive daytime sleepiness. Though not apparent in childhood, the symptom most often appears for the first time during the teen years, and continues throughout a person's life. The sleep attacks may occur as many as fifteen to twenty times during the course of the day and last for periods from fifteen minutes up to two hours.
What can be done to help those suffering from narcolepsy? There are certain drugs that can help and specialists suggest voluntary
napping to decrease the frequency of such sleep attacks.
