From ancient times to today, poets have been seen as romantic (浪漫的),well-educated and full of feelings. Can you imagine that a miner,born in a mountain village with only a high school diploma (文凭), doing the hardest and most dangerous work in a mine, could write moving poems?
Chen Nianxi has been living a literary(文学的) dream for most of his life. Chen was born in the mountains of Shaanxi. Inspired by newspapers and literary journals, Chen wrote his first poem in high school.

His experience in the mines was the source of inspiration for his poems, making him stand out in modern Chinese literature.He has published several well-received books so far.
Although the heavy load (负担)of life weighed on him, Chen's poetry has a feeling of hope and strength. He writes about labor, loving labor and living a life filled with love, reminding us that no matter how hard life gets, we shouldn't forget our dreams. Drawing people's attention to the everyday struggles of laboring workers is also very important to him.

People often set many alarms to wake themselves up for fear of oversleeping(睡过头). However, this can be bad for one's health because it makes sleep quality(质量)poorer,according to Brandon Peters, a doctor from Virginia Mason Franciscan Health in Seattle,US.
A good sleep happens in cycles (周期),according to Medical News Today. Each cycle has four stages (阶段). During stage one, we go into a light sleep. Our body relaxes and our heartbeat (心跳) slows. As we fall deeper into
sleep, stage two begins. Our eyes stop moving and our body temperature drops. Then comes the third stage which is the deepest sleep and also the hardest for people to wake up from.
Last is the fourth stage, known as rapid eye movement sleep(快速眼动睡眠),or REM sleep.Our eyes move rapidly from side to side during this stage. At the same time, our breathing picks up and our heartbeat rises.REM sleep is very important because most of our dreams take place during it. This allows our brain to process emotions (情绪).REM sleep also helps the brain turn the new knowledge learned during the day into memories. When we get enough REM sleep, it is easier to focus on studying the next day, said the National Sleep Foundation of the US.
Since REM sleep mostly takes place in the last hours of a night's sleep, it is a bad idea to disrupt (打扰) it with alarms ringing one after another.
“My general advice is that you set one alarm,”said Alicia Roth at the Cleveland Clinic in the US. She also suggested that people try alarms that use light, not sound, to wake up, according to CNN.
20. In which stage do people sleep the deepest?
A. In the first stage. B. In the second stage.
C. In the third stage. D. In the fourth stage.
21. What happens to our body during REM sleep?
A. Our heartbeat slows. B. Our eyes stop moving.
C. Our breathing becomes faster. D. Our body temperature drops.
22. If we get enough REM sleep, we are likely to .
A. have fewer bad dreams B. improve our learning
C. be more emotional D. wake up more easily
23. What does Alicia Roth probably agree with?
A. It is important to wake up naturally.
B. Sound alarms are better than light alarms.
C. Setting many alarms can help prevent oversleeping.
D. It's better to avoid disturbing REM sleep with sounds.
