1．The Best Way to Nap A study published in the journal Heart found a link between healthy napping （打盹）and a lowered risk of heart disease.The American Psychological Association points out that naps can improve memory，learning capacity and mood.Sara Med nick，PhD，a neuroscience at the University of California explains that when you fall asleep，your body moves through stages that each play a role in health.Ideal napping times are based around this four-stage cycle.
Stage 1 the"dozing off"（打瞌睡）period Stage 2 muscles，heart rate and brain activity slow down Stage 3 deep，restorative sleep Stage 4 REM（rapid eye movement）sleep，when brain activity increases and you're most likely to dream
Not a regular napper？That's OK."Everyone needs to rest，but not everyone necessarily needs to nap，"says Mednick.The 20-minute nap Between 20 and 30 minutes is one napping sweet spot，according to Mednick，who explains that you get enough Stage 2 sleep to switch your body and mind into full relaxation mode，aiding with memory. The 60-minute nap Stage 3 sleep is a time for your body to repair tissue，strengthen the immune（免疫）system and recharge energy stores.But waking up during this phase can make you feel uncomfortable and sleepy，Mednick says.Most people start to move out of Stage 3 after around 60 minutes，which makes it a good time to set your alarm. The 90-minute nap A complete sleep cycle is about an hour and a half，and napping for a full cycle can have big benefits.But naps longer than 90 minutes can disturb nighttime sleep and might even weaken memory.

2．On a Friday evening in December，two weeks before Christmas，I lost my job.I hadn't seen it coming.I was excited for the weekend，when my daughter，Kristil，then 12，and I planned to get our Christmas tree.Then I listened to my voicemail："We're sorry but your work assignment has ended as of today."My heart sank.I wasn't just a single mother；I was the only parent.My paycheck was survival.
Over the next week，as my bank account grew smaller，I crazily applied for jobs，but I was defeated.
It had been snowing on and off all morning.I noticed a woman with short white hair struggling to open her car door against the wind.As she got out，I realized it was my old professor，Mrs.Heffernan.I hadn't seen her since we'd met for lunch three months ago.
I'd first met Mrs.Heffernan 10 years earlier when I was her student at Edgewood College.Kristil was 3 at the time，and I sometimes took her to class.Mrs.Heffernan was understanding and would bring coloring books to occupy Kristil
Even after I graduated，Mrs.Heffernan kept in touch.I had grown to love her like family.
I rushed to the front of my building."What are you doing out in this weather？"I asked as we hugged.
"Well，I tried to call last week but couldn't get through.Then I called your job and they said you weren't working there anymore，so I thought I would come by，"she said."I have gifts for you and Kristil."
I made her a cup of tea and we talked.Just being in Mrs.Heffernan's presence gave me hope that things would be all right.
As she got up to leave she handed me a Christmas card and kissed me on the cheek.I walked her to her car and waved as she pulled away.
When I opened her card I was in shock.Hundred dollar bills fell onto the table.Tears of gratitude filled my eyes as I counted.Mrs.Heffernan had given me ＄1，000.

3．The 2022 FIFA World Cup kicked off，with more than 30 teams participatjye.aig.In the tournament's 92-year history，only eight countries have won：Brazil，Italy，F(xiàn)rance，Germany，Argentina，Spain，Uruguay and England.
It was the first time that the Cup had been held in the Middle East.Summer temperatures in Qatar regularly top 100 degrees，so for the safety of both athletes and audience，organizers pushed the month-long contest out to late November，when the weather is milder.
Uruguay was the first host and winner of the World Cup back in 1930.The final match played out in front of 60，000 audiences.No World Cup was held between 1938 and 1950 due to World War II.The 1950 tournament in Brazil featured separate East and West German teams.It wasn't until the 1994 World Cup that Germany look part as a unified team.West Germany won in 1954.
That 1950 Cup was also the first to feature England，despite soccer being an English invention.That year，Team USA beat England 1-0，though some British newspapers reported the result as USA 1，England 10，as editors believed the real score had a typo.Both sides believed it would be an easy win for England，and double-digit （兩位數(shù)） goals were expected.This match is considered by many as one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history.
The first women's World Cup started many decades after the men's，in 1991.That first one was held in China.Our team is so dominant that we have won half of all the World Cups to date.The women play every four years，just like the men，but not on the same schedule.The next women's World Cup will be held in 2023 in Australia and New Zealand.

"Hey，what's going on？"Alex called out while approaching.The woman didn't answer or turn around.Alex stepped closer and stood with the woman side by side.
"What's going on？"he asked again.The woman kept silent for a while before she told Alex，but mostly talked to herself that she was going through a particularly tough period.She was jobs，not doing well in everythjye.aig.In short，life wasn't working out as she'd hoped."Not everything goes as planned，"agreed Alex.He started talking about the ups and downs he'd faced in his life.
