The practice is more 37 known in Britain but is also found in the United States and other parts of Europe, Mr. Norman said.In the 18th and 19th centuries, it was believed that neglecting to tell the bees could lead to various 38, including their death or departure, or a failure to make honey.

He went to the friend's bees, gently knocked on the hives and told them the news, he said.“It was just something I thought my friend would have enjoyed,“ he added.Mr. Fleming said most beekeepers would most likely be aware of the tradition, but not as many would practice it.“It's generally thought to be a good and nice thing to do J he said.HL Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

Ian Cheney looked at his grandfathers truck and thought of a (n)42.As in other large cities, there are not many places to grow food in New York. Yet Cheney wanted a vegetable garden. Many urban farmers in New York have found 43 ways to grow vegetables. There are rooftop gardens high above the city. There are community gardens in old parking lots.

The next morning, he discovered that the car's window had been smashed, along with his dreams for the future: His backpack and computer were gone."Everything important to me was on that computer,“ said Fortune, 21, who is studying to become a paramedic.Two days after the theft, another young man was standing outside his apartment, also in Portland. Masoud Almazrouei, 29, was an exchange student from the United Arab Emirates. He had been approached by a man who said he had a computer for sale. Only $200. Almazrouei, who had been in the United States for only a year, admits now that he was naive. But he needed a computer so he bought it, took it home, and turned it on.

When a story about the two young men's encounter made it to the local papers, Almazrouei received a call from Wim Wiewel, the president of Portland State University, where Almazrouei is studying economics.“We thought since you gave back the laptop, we should give you a laptop so that you'll have one J Wiewel told him.

You might not be able to control the factors that interfere with your sleep. However, you can adopt habits that encourage better sleep. Start with these simple tips.1. Stick to a sleep scheduleSet aside no more than eight hours for sleep. The recommended amount of sleep for a healthy adult is at least seven hours. Most people don't need more than eight hours in bed to be well rested. Go to bed and get up at the same time every day, including weekends. Being consistent reinforces your body's sleep-wake cycle. If you don't fall asleep within about 20 minutes of going to bed, leave your bedroom and do something relaxing. Read or listen to soothing music. Go back to bed when you're tired. Repeat as needed, but continue to maintain your sleep schedule and wake-up time.2. Pay attention to what you eat and drinkDon't go to bed hungry or stuffed. In particular, avoid heavy or large meals within a couple of hours of bedtime. Discomfort might keep you up. Caffeine and alcohol deserve caution, too. The stimulating effects of caffeine take hours to wear off and can interfere with sleep. And even though alcohol might make you feel sleepy at first, it can disrupt sleep later in the night.3. Create a restful environmentKeep your room cool, dark and quiet. Exposure to light in the evenings might make it more challenging to fall asleep. Avoid prolonged use of light-emitting screens just before bedtime. Consider using room-darkening shades, earplugs, a fan or other devices to create an environment that suits your needs. Doing calming activities before bedtime, such as taking a bath or using relaxation techniques, might promote better sleep.4. Limit daytime napsLong daytime naps can interfere with nighttime sleep. Limit naps to no more than one hour and avoid napping late in the day. However, if you work nights, you might need to nap late in the day before work to help make up your sleep debt.5. Include physical activity in your daily routineRegular physical activity can promote better sleep. However, avoid being active too close to bedtime. Spending time outside every day might be helpful, too.6. Manage worriesTry to resolve your worries or concerns before bedtime. Jot down what's on your mind and then set it aside for tomorrow. Stress management might help. Start with the basics, such as getting organized, setting priorities and delegating tasks.58. What can be learned from the passage?A. It's not hard to control the factors interfering with our sleep.B. The longer we sleep, the better we feel.C. It's better to remain in bed when you fail to fall asleep.D. Stress can contribute to bad sleep.59. According to the article, which of the following encourages better sleep?A. Do physical exercise before going to bed.B. Drink alcohol to get sleepy.C.
