Passage 1 
What can you do if you suffer from insomnia? Two things: you can eat certain foods that will help you fall asleep and stay asleep, and you can do certain things that are sleep-inducing. Here are some guidelines Dr. Schwartz has worked out after years of research. 
a. If you’ve had a bad night’s sleep, don’t stay in bed later the next morning. 
b. Don’t go to bed earlier the next night. Stick to your usual bedtime and rising pattern. 
c. Don’t nap during the day. Naps cut down on night sleep-time. 
d. Never lie awake in bed and sleeplessness, thus reinforcing your poor sleeping pattern. 
e. When you get out of bed after an hour of sleeplessness, do something, but make sure it’s something dull. Read a book that doesn’t interest your much. Never watch TV or listen to the radio. 
f. Try sitting still in a chair in a darkened room; you’ll be surprised how fast you’ll get sleepy. 
g. When you retire for the night, don’t lie there rehashing (重讲) the mistakes of the day. Nor is this the time to plan your next day’s activities - you may become too anxious or over-stimulated. 
h. Get as much exercise as possible, preferably early in the day. Exercise is a great sleep inducer. 
i. Develop a bedtime routine: closing up the house and turning out the lights in a certain way, bathing, plumping (使鼓起) up the pillows. Sleep studies show that doing things in sequence - in a way that tends to calm and sooth - can help you achieve a good sleep pattern. 
As for food intake to help you sleep, make sure that your daily diet is a balanced one and high in tryptophan (色氯酸), an amino (氨基的) acid found in certain foods. The body converts tryptophan to L- tryptophan and then to serotomin, a body chemical crucial to the sleep process. Foods rich in tryptophan are: whole or skim milk, eggs, cheese, meat, and peanuts, apples, bananas, cherries, dried prunes (梅脯), and watermelon. If you include foods high in tryptophan in your daily diet, and incorporate some of the sleep-inducing activities into your life, the chances are good that you will achieve a pattern of restful, soothing sleep. 
36. Look over the list of guidelines in paragraph 1. Which of the following would Dr. Schwartz probably approve of doing if you can’t sleep? 
○A. Read an exciting novel. 
○B. Go to bed at your usual bedtime. 
○C. Think about a meeting you have to attend tomorrow. 
○D. Take a nap at lunchtime.

○A. you should read a book that doesn’t interest you much 
○B. watching TV or reading an interesting book will stimulate you and keep you awake 
○C. listening to the radio will wake up other people in your house

○A. does not explain why these foods are listed here 
○B. says to avoid the food listed 
○C. highly recommends that you eat the foods listed
