It's very important for everyone to sleep. We spend about one— third of our lives sleeping. So we should pay more attention to the quality of sleeping. However, a lot of people have trouble in sleeping. Some people even take sleeping pills to help them sleep better. In fact, taking sleeping pills is very dangerous. That' s because sleeping pills are habit-forming (上瘾 的). If you take them for several weeks, you will find it hard for you to stop taking them. Then, what should you do if you have trouble getting a good night's sleep?

Doctors say that the best thing to do is to get out of bad habits. In other words, you can't stay up too late at night and you should get up earlier in the morning. However, you may still have trouble sleeping if you have problems or something else on your mind. Then it's time for you to do some exercise to relax your tense muscles (紧绷的肌肉). If relaxing your body can't help you, try to write down your worries on your mind. If you like listening to music, you can choose some music that is quiet and gentle. Be sure not to choose some music which is too loud, or you may get so excited that you can't fall asleep.

Remember, choosing proper ways can help you sleep better.

Author Elizabeth Becker says we have a responsibility(任)to respect the places we visit. Some basic rules still hold, such as not traveling at busy times and taking fewer trips but making them longer. The best and easiest to be a responsible traveler is to use common sense and go local.

Respect traditions. Read about the culture and traditions of the places you visit. Understand the local culture and customs to avoidany mistakes. For example, dress properly when you visit temples (寺庙) and

don't eat or talkin religious(宗教的) sites. If you visit a beach, leave seashells where you find them and try not to catch fish while swimming.

Learn the Language. expects you to become fluent (流利), but try to learn some basic phrases such as "please" and "thank you". You'll be amazed at how much nicer and more helpful people will be if they know you're making an effort to get used to their culture.

Spend local. Stay away from international hotels and restaurants run by foreigners. using local guides, buying local products and staying in family run hotels, you're not only giving back to the community, but you also get a better understanding of the country you stay in and the people who there.

Bargain( 讲价 ) fairly. Always be when you try to get a lower price. Sometimes goods at local market can seem expensive. Nobody likes to be cheated and it may be fun to bargain, but remember that for the local people bargaining may not be a game. So try not be too rude (粗鲁的 ) when bargaining.

Don't litter. In some countries, getting rid of waste is a big problem, so don't throw rubbish on the ground. Doing so is harmful to the environment and unpleasant for others. Hold on to your rubbish you find a bin(垃圾箱)
