Why should we be kind?

Being kind is a win-win situation. It brings happiness to both the receiver and the doer of this kind action. Let's imagine you have a workmate who always does a very good job. How about taking a moment to mention this to him? Your workmate will be happy to receive some praise，and you will probably feel good about yourself for having spread a little joy.

What are "random acts of kindness"?

Many organizations encourage people to do kind acts whenever and wherever possible. Their idea is that it doesn't take any plan to be kind，just a little bit of effort. Perhaps the strongest supporters of this idea are the Random Acts of Kindness (RAK)Foundation，who work with schools and companies to teach people kindness skills. They believe that kindness can be taught.

How can I be kind？

The RAK website suggests some ways to show kindness. Generally，they fall into three categories（類別）．The first is interpersonal kindness, like donating old clothes to charity or writing a positive online comment about a restaurant. The second is environmental kindness，which could mean recycling or cleaning a local park. The third category is personal kindness，which means treating yourself kindly，such as taking a walk in nature or treating yourself to a big meal. By being kind to yourself，you will be kinder to the world around you.

What is World Kindness Day?

World Kindness Day takes place on 13November. People in many countries celebrate this day by being kind and having lots of fun. One typical event is to use “kindness cards”．You hand a kindness card to somebody when you do a kind act for him. Then it is his turn to pass on the card by doing a kind act for another person.

Being kind has a sort of ripple（漣漪）effect. This means that one kind action leads to more and more. So don't wait for kindness to find you，go and start a new ripple！

Though hitting the snooze button allows people a few more minutes of sleep, it causes unhealthy sleep patterns(模式）．Most people think if they are tired when they first wake up, they need more sleep. However, they are mistaken when they conclude that any sleep is good sleep. Sleeping is a process with different cycles. To feel fully rested, the body must go through all the sleep cycles. Falling back asleep after hitting the snooze button restarts the process, but when the alarm rings again several minutes later, the process is interrupted. The body has not gone through all the cycles, and this can cause the body to feel sleepy for the rest of the day. This sleepiness can affect memory, the ability to make choices, and performance at work or school.

Sleepiness may also happen if the body's biological rhythm（規(guī)律）is interrupted. People normally fall asleep at night and wake up in the morning because their rhythms are operating naturally. The rhythms are affected by repeated use of the snooze button, which can cause feelings of sleepiness during the day and an inability to fall asleep at night.

Rather than depending on the snooze button, people need to consider developing different routines. The easiest choice is to put the alarm on the other side of the room. Having to get out of bed to turn it off decreases the possibility of hitting the snooze button. Another choice, if your routine allows it, is to just reset the alarm. Setting your alarm for 30 minutes later will make the whole sleep process longer instead of always restarting it. However, it must be stressed that getting up 30 minutes later in the morning is not an excuse to stay up 30 minutes later the night before.

Though a few extra minutes of sleep may seem to promise a better start to the day, hitting that snooze button creates an unhealthy sleep pattern.

A.what unhealthy sleep patterns most people have

B.what people should do to feel fully rested in the day time

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Hitting the snooze button helps people fall asleep at night.

B.People wake up because their biological rhythms are interrupted.

C.Getting up several minutes later helps people feel more energetic.

D.Putting the alarm a bit far from the bed helps form healthy sleep habits.

【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Don't Wake Up Late！B.Don't Use Alarm Clocks！

C.Don't Touch That Button！D.Don't Change Sleep Patterns！
