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

However, we are so often absorbed in conversation that we (57) sight of its true pur

46、pose and value.One important (58) of a good conversation is that the words are (59) used to express thoughts and feelings.

47、3) you deeply, yet you have the following conversation: “So, what did you think of the film?” “Oh, my God, it was so sad, I swear. I went through (64) a box of tissues (面巾纸). I was in tears.” This dialogue is (65) an effective way of expressing feelings. It gives no (66) of how or why the movie trul

48、y (67) you. Such commonly-used phrases are certainly not enough to describe a deeply moving experience. However, not only (68) try to avoid overused words, you must (69) be careful in your selection. The purpose of expanding vocabulary is not to use the (70) or most impressive words, but to find those best suited.What is lacking in many conversations is the ability to talk to another rather than just talking with that person. A (71) person will find that even in the most ordinary conversations. There are a thousand questions (72) to be asked if you have courage and a desire for excha
