In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table throughout a meal. In Arabic countries, we must be careful with our hands. In Arabic countries, you mustn't eat with your left hand. This is considered to be very impolite. So, what should you do if you visit a foreign country? Well. you needn't worry.

By the time you're 15, you will have slep for 5 years! But why do we do it? Now scientists are beginning to answer some of those questions. They've discovered that brains and bodies don't just shut down (关闭) at night. In fact, they get quite active. Your brain is busy making memories and learning. Your body repairs itself and grows strong during sleep When you fall asleep, you get a light sleep first for about half an hour. After that. your brain sinks into a deep sleep. During deep sleep, slow waves of electrical impulses (电流脉动波) move through the brain. In the last step of sleep, your body doesn't move at all, but your eyes dart back and forth behind closed eyelids. This motion gives this kind of sleep its name-REM, for "rapid eye movement (快速动眼期)."During REM sleep, the brain can connect new experiences with old memories. All this connecting may lead to dreams-which can get pretty strange. Why do we dream? One of scientists' ideas is dreams can help you learn. Studies show if you want to do well on a test, don't stay up all night studying. Instead, get a good night's sleep. That's when your brain learns best. Scientists still have many questions about sleep. They'd like to know why some people need more sleep than others, and how some animals get by with a lot less sleep. They'd like to find ways to help people sleep better Buy they know one thing for sure: getting enough sleep is the most important thing you can do to stay healthy and smart 56.
