my bedtimebetween 9 p.m.and 3 am,she says.Consequently,she immediately set up a daily alarm-not forwaking up,but for heading off to bed at a reasonable hour.Its obvious why Lim would be a bit of an alarmist when 28 with a lack of a consistentnights sleep.Lim,who is leading a global team of medical researchers,has in recent years beendiscovering the ways in which even moderate sleep deprivation in middle age would be strongly29 with Alzheimers disease later in life.She says,“Our big discovery was that the lack ofsleep involves brain processes that may develop into the disease.The finding

phrase thatbest fits the context.Deliberate practice refers to a special type of practice that is purposeful and systematic.36 regular practice might include mindless repetitions,deliberate practice requires focusedattention and is conducted with the specific goal of improving 37.The greatest 38 of deliberate practice is to remain focused.In the beginning,showingup is the most important thing.But after a while we begin to carelessly 39 small errors andmiss daily opportunities for improvement.This is because the natural tendency of the human brainis to 40 repeated behaviors into automatic habits.41.when you first learned to tieyour shoes you had to think carefully about each step of the process.Today,after many repetitions,your brain can perform this sequence 42.The more we repeat a task the more mindless itbecomes.Mindless activity is the 43 of deliberate practice.The danger of practicing the samething again and again is that progress becomes 44.Too often,we think we are getting bettersimply because we are gaining experience.45*we are merely reinforcing（力 口 强）our currenthabits not improving them.Claiming that improvement requires attention and effort sounds logical enough.But what doesdeliberate practice actually look like in the real world?The first effective feedback system is 46.This holds true for the number of pages weread,the number of push-ups we do,the number of sales calls we make,and any other task that isimportant to us.It only through measurement that we have any 47 of whether we are gettingbetter or worse.The second effective feedback system is coaching.One consistent finding across disciplines isthat coaches are often essential for 48 deliberate practice.In many cases,it is nearlyimpossible to both perform a task and measure your progress at the same time.Good coaches cantrack your progress,find small ways to improve,and hold you 49 for your best effort eachday.Deliberate practice is not a comfortable activity.It requires sustained effort and concentration,but if you can manage to maintain your focus and 50,then the promise of deliberate practiceis quite tempting:to get the most out of what youve got.36.A.Since B.Whether C.While

concerning plant husbandry侬牧业).He camefrom the“No pain,no gain school of gardening.He never watered his new trees,which flew in theface of traditional wisdom.Once I asked why.He said that watering

of cold winds that hit us at the core.I know mychildren are going to encounter hardship,and I am praying they wont be naive.There is always acold wind blowing somewhere.So I am changing my prayer.Too many times we pray fbr ease,but that is a prayer seldom met.What we need to do is pray for roots that reach into the Eternal（永恒），so when the rains fail andthe winds blow,we wont be swept
