2、leeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day./UThere are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little.

3、s back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream.

8、 do is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if he has a remote control. He makes no choice and exer
9、cises, no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought
10、right into ones sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger.

(80) UOur school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living./U Some stay long at a job and learn t
17、o like it; others quit from one to another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation.Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities.
