Climb the Miss Jean Brodie Steps to view Edinburgh Castle surrounded by narrow lanes (小巷), and then walk into Greyfriars Kirkyard, a 17th-century cemetery. Sharp-eyed Harry Potter fans will notice familiar names on the tombstones, including ones that inspired the author’s You-Know-Who. 11 a.m.: Step into the past Across from the cemetery is the National Museum of Scotland.

For a different experience, visit Surgeons’ Hall, which shows Edinburgh’s medical history. 2 p.m.: Head for the river After morning culture, take a short cable car from Princes Street to Leith. This area has many top-quality restaurants, including Tom Kitchin’s The Kitchin.

The seed of Zhu’s startup was planted by a personal experience. “My father was eager to keep his memories safe. Soon, the process of organizing everything on a computer — which he wasn’t used to — proved a real challenge and began to wear him out.” Zhu recalled. Her father’s difficulty made Zhu wonder how many other seniors shared this wish but were held back by technology. To test this assumption, she carried out a survey. The results revealed that 27.8 percent of surveyed seniors are willing to purchase memoir products for themselves, while 30.7 percent of adult children intend to buy them for their parents. “What began as a personal goal for my father was, in fact, pointing toward a wider social phenomenon.” she said. With a background in AI, Zhu developed Lanvita as a WeChat mini-program. To bridge the digital gap, she then cooperated with local communities, nursing homes, and other institutions to host offline trial sessions, allowing seniors to experience the memoir-creation process firsthand and receive completed versions of their stories shortly afterward. One participant who left a strong impression on Zhu was 89-year-old Gong Guoping. Gong has lived through a life full of ups and downs, including war and major family changes, while also witnessing the development and transformation of Hefei, where he has spent his whole life. “Through Mr. Gong’s eyes, the memoir goes far beyond a personal story, becoming a historical mirror that reflects the century-long transformation of his hometown.” Zhu said. Zhu believes that meaningful products can only be created by engaging directly with elderly users and truly listening to their stories. “Face-to-face, offline services are far more effective than endless online advertisements,” Zhu noted. After the trial sessions, many seniors recommended Lanvita to friends, helping the platform grow. Through her interactions with seniors, Zhu found that although older adults may adopt AI more slowly, they are still curious and willing to try new technologies. “In this field, what we truly need is not necessarily smarter AI, but more understanding AI,” she concluded. 41. What directly drove Zhu to create the platform Lanvita? A. Her professional background in AI. B. A request from local nursing homes. C. A survey on senior consumption habits. D. Her father’s struggle with digital tools. 42. Which of the following best describes the findings of Zhu’s survey? A. There is a widespread demand for memoir products. B. Technology remains a major barrier for most seniors. C. Adult children use more memoir products than seniors. D. Seniors prefer WeChat mini-programs to computer software. 43. What does Zhu realize from Mr. Gong’s memoir? A. The historical record of urban development. B. The great suffering caused by wars and conflicts. C. The link between personal stories and history. D. The difficulty for seniors to recall their youth. 44. What can be inferred about Lanvita’s operation? A. It includes high-level AI knowledge from its users. B. It acquires users via offline service and trial sessions. C. It focuses on seniors with advanced computer skills. D. It relies on online advertisements to attract elderly users. 45. What message does Zhu want to convey in the last paragraph? A. AI should be designed with a human touch. B. Seniors can master new technology with ease. C. Technology will soon make eldercare simple. D. Smarter AI will decide the future of eldercare. C Many of the drugs we take aren’t actually digested — they pass through our bodies, and down through the sewer (下水道) pipes. Traces of those drugs end up in the bodies of fish and other wildlife. Nobody’s sure what effect they have. Now, a paper being published in Science magazine finds that drugs to treat anxiety can affect the behavior of fish. This particular story starts with some fish that live in a creek just downstream from a sewage treatment plant in southern Sweden. Scientists collected the perch (鲈鱼) in that area and discovered that they had accumulated low levels of anxiety drugs in their bodies. Environmental scientist Jonatan Klaminder led a couple of his workmate at Umea University in Sweden to tackle this question in the lab. In the lab, they put some perch in a fish tank to see how they behaved under normal circumstances. Then they added some of a anxiety drug called oxazepam into the tank. The concentrations (浓度) of the drug were the same to those found in the river. “They became more unsociable and more active, and they were actually more effective in eating,” Klaminder says. “This drug actually removes some of the fear, the sense of fear, from these fishes. So instead of being afraid they focus on feeding.” Staying close to others is a well-known defense system to avoid natural enemies. In the wild, it is highly dangerous for a small fish to move away from the fish group. “The most likely outcome will be that a bigger fish will eat it,” he says. Over time, the whole food chain will be changed. The problem doesn’t present an obvious threat to people who might drink water from streams or eat the fish that live in them. The presence of drugs in surface waters — or even in fish and shellfish — is much lower than the levels that you might need to be concerned about, says Bryan Brooks of Baylor University in Waco, Texas, USA. But he warns that isn’t necessarily the case in the developing world. “Some studies show, for example, some rivers in India have the highest concentrations of drugs in the environment,” he says. “So the developing world really deserves some additional attention.” 46. The author wrote the text in order to ________. A. solve a problem B. give some advice C. tell an interesting story D. show the results of some research 47. Why did the researchers add oxazepam into the fish container? A. To treat a serious fish disease. B. To develop a new anxiety drug. C. To reduce the anxiety of wild perch. D. To copy wild perch’s living conditions. 48. In the experiment, which is one of the perch’s changes in behavior? A. They ate much less food. B. They spent more time alone. C. They helped each other when feeding. D. They worried more about their enemies. 49. According to the research, the anxiety drugs in rivers ________. A. reduce the number of wild perch B. make large fish calm down easily C. have deadly effect on small perch D. help wild fish become much healthier 50. In the opinion of Bryan Brooks, ________. A. drugs in rivers may be a threat to developing countries B. it is quite safe to drink water with anxiety drugs in India C. Americans should be more careful about drugs in rivers D. in the USA fish with drugs in their bodies cannot be eaten D These days, being a teenager isn’t easy. Teens’ schedules often include doing after-school activities, sports practice, and homework, combined with working part-time for extra spending money or to contribute to household expenses, leaving many teens feeling overworked and stressed. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, close to a quarter of all U.S. high school students participate in the workforce. Most states place limits on the amount of hours teens can work, with 20 hours a week the standard limit. Research has shown that working over the standard limit negatively (负面地) affects teens in a variety of ways. Researchers published a recent report finding that working more than 20 hours a week during the school year leads to academic problems. The more hours a student works, the more likely their grades are to be lower. A study published in the Sociology of Education suggests that working more than 20 hours each week leads to higher dropout rates (辍学率). Another study in the American Educational Research Journal reports that students who work between 1 and 15 hours per week are more likely to complete high school; however, students who work more than 15 hours each week are more likely to drop out. Working over the standard limit also causes sleepiness, which can the cause of injuries and deaths related to inattention while driving. It has been considered as a major cause in at least 100,000 police-reported traffic crashes each year, killing more than 1,500 Americans and injuring another 71,000, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Young drivers aged 25 or under are involved in more than one-half of fall-asleep crashes. Work helps teens gain valuable experience,teaches them much needed skills, and provides necessary spending money—but basic rules should be followed. The student workweek should be limited to 20 hours or less and should not go past 10 p.m. on a school night. Safe and healthy youth work experiences don’t just happen—teens, parents, and employers must work together to make them happen. 51. What does the first paragraph tell us about today’s teens? A. They are too busy. B. They are quite happy. C. They have an exciting life. D. They have more confidence. 52. What percent of U.S. high school students work part-time according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics? A. About 15%. B. About 25%. C. About 35%. D. About 50%. 53. What is a possible result for a high schooler working two hours every day? A. Getting lower grades. B. Becoming a dropout. C. Finishing high school. D. Having sleep problems. 54. What does the underlined part “lead to” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Result from. B. Contribute to. C. Refer to. D. Give away. 55. What is the author’s attitude to the standard 20-hour-a-week limit? A. Unfavorable. B. Worried. C. Uncaring. D. Supportive. 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。 We all know how it feels to go a night without sleep. But a day with little sleep doesn’t always have to be a bad day. We just need to give ourselves a little extra care. So here are some tips to care for yourself after a night with little rest. Firstly, give yourself a break. In our culture, we often feel that we have to push ourselves to do our best even when facing sleeplessness. But it’s okay to take a break. Breaking down tasks or putting off important decisions might be good choices on a sleepy day. Many people choose to drink coffee when they are short of sleep. But time is the key here. If people do drink coffee, they should do it as early as possible. What’s worse than one sleepless night is two sleepless nights. Too much coffee too late in the day can make it harder to fall asleep. It’s also a good idea to let people know you haven’t slept well. Not having enough rest can make us easier to get angry. It can also affect our memory and concentration, making us more likely to make mistakes. Most people expect to be given the message when others haven’t slept well. This way, they will be ready to offer more space and patience. Finally, try exercising. Exercise might be the last thing you want to do on a day when you feel sleepy, yet even a short walk up and down the stairs may help you wake up a bit and lift your spirits. But you have to know your limits, or it might cause serious problems. The best way to exercise on a sleepy day is to do it slowly, gently, and in small amounts. All in all, being short of sleep can be a challenging experience. Still, with care, it is possible to have a good day. 56.

A. why B. when C. that D. whether 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：他的建议是我们明天应该早点出发。分析句子结构可知，空处引导表语从句，解释说明主语suggestion的具体内容。从句“we should start early tomorrow”结构完整，句意明确，不缺少任何成分，因此需要使用只起连接作用、无实际词义且在从句中不充当成分的连词that。 2. He was ________to bank on his parents to help him. A. sorry B. astonished C. reluctant D. cautious 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他不愿指望父母帮助他。A. sorry遗憾的；B. astonished吃惊的；C. reluctant不情愿的；D. cautious谨慎的。根据后文“to bank on his parents to help him”指不愿指望父母帮助他，应用reluctant。故选C。 3. The old photo brings to my mind the happy high school days ________ we spent together. A. which B. who C. when D. what 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：这张老照片让我想起了我们一起度过的快乐的高中时光。分析句子可知，空白及其之后的内容为限定性定语从句，先行词为days，在从句中作动词spent的宾语，所以此处用关系代词which/that引导，或省略关系代词。故选A。 4. Not only the students but also their teacher ________ interested in the new movie. A. is B. are C. was D. were 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：不仅学生们，而且他们的老师也对这部新电影感兴趣。not only ... but also ... 连接并列主语时，谓语动词遵循“就近原则”，即与距离谓语最近的主语保持一致。此处距离谓语最近的主语是单数名词teacher，且句子陈述一般情况，通常使用一般现在时，故谓语动词用单数is。 5. She sat by the window, ________her years of hard and rewarding work as a doctor. A. preserving B. recalling C. liberating D. acclaiming 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：她坐在窗边，回忆着她多年来辛勤而有回报的医生工作。A. preserving保护；B. recalling回忆；C. liberating解放；D. acclaiming 欢呼；喝采。根据“She sat by the window,”可知，她坐在窗边回忆事情。故选B。 6. ________ from the top of the mountain, the city looks beautiful. A. Seeing B. Seen C. To see D. See 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：从山顶上看，这座城市看起来很美。处在句中作状语，其逻辑主语是主句主语the city，与动词see之间构成逻辑上的被动关系（城市被看），因此需用过去分词形式作状语。 7. Some of these ideas may sound far ahead of their time, but I’m sure they________happen sooner or later! A. are difficult to B. are afraid to C. are bound to D. are ready to 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词短语辨析。句意：其中一些想法可能听起来很超前，但我相信它们迟早会发生！A. are difficult to很难；B. are afraid to害怕；C. are bound to必定；D. are ready to乐意。根据“Some of these ideas may sound far ahead of their time,”和转折词but可知，相信一些想法必定会发生。故选C。 8. _______ you’ve set your mind on the goal, you must make every effort to get it achieved in spite of challenges. A. Now that B. As if C. Unless D. In case 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查状语从句。句意：既然你已经下定决心去实现目标，你就必须尽一切努力去实现它，尽管有挑战。A. Now that既然；B. As if好像；C. Unless除非；D. In case万一。表示“既然你已经下定决心要实现这个目标”，引出后面 “必须尽一切努力去实现它，尽管会有挑战” 的原因，所以此处引导原因状语从句，表示“既然”。故选A。 9. All theories ________practice and in turn service practice. A. originate from B. date from C. learn from D. differ from 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语词义辨析。句意：一切理论来源于实践，反过来又服务于实践。A. originate from源于；B. date from追溯到；C. learn from向……学习；D. differ from不同于。根据“and in turn service practice.”可知，理论来源于实践。故选A。 10. What we human beings create may_______ does harm to ourselves.

The seed of Zhu’s startup was planted by a personal experience. “My father was eager to keep his memories safe. Soon, the process of organizing everything on a computer — which he wasn’t used to — proved a real challenge and began to wear him out.” Zhu recalled. Her father’s difficulty made Zhu wonder how many other seniors shared this wish but were held back by technology. To test this assumption, she carried out a survey. The results revealed that 27.8 percent of surveyed seniors are willing to purchase memoir products for themselves, while 30.7 percent of adult children intend to buy them for their parents. “What began as a personal goal for my father was, in fact, pointing toward a wider social phenomenon.” she said. With a background in AI, Zhu developed Lanvita as a WeChat mini-program. To bridge the digital gap, she then cooperated with local communities, nursing homes, and other institutions to host offline trial sessions, allowing seniors to experience the memoir-creation process firsthand and receive completed versions of their stories shortly afterward. One participant who left a strong impression on Zhu was 89-year-old Gong Guoping. Gong has lived through a life full of ups and downs, including war and major family changes, while also witnessing the development and transformation of Hefei, where he has spent his whole life. “Through Mr. Gong’s eyes, the memoir goes far beyond a personal story, becoming a historical mirror that reflects the century-long transformation of his hometown.” Zhu said. Zhu believes that meaningful products can only be created by engaging directly with elderly users and truly listening to their stories. “Face-to-face, offline services are far more effective than endless online advertisements,” Zhu noted. After the trial sessions, many seniors recommended Lanvita to friends, helping the platform grow. Through her interactions with seniors, Zhu found that although older adults may adopt AI more slowly, they are still curious and willing to try new technologies. “In this field, what we truly need is not necessarily smarter AI, but more understanding AI,” she concluded. 41. What directly drove Zhu to create the platform Lanvita? A. Her professional background in AI. B. A request from local nursing homes. C. A survey on senior consumption habits. D. Her father’s struggle with digital tools. 42. Which of the following best describes the findings of Zhu’s survey? A. There is a widespread demand for memoir products. B. Technology remains a major barrier for most seniors. C. Adult children use more memoir products than seniors. D. Seniors prefer WeChat mini-programs to computer software. 43. What does Zhu realize from Mr. Gong’s memoir? A. The historical record of urban development. B. The great suffering caused by wars and conflicts. C. The link between personal stories and history. D. The difficulty for seniors to recall their youth. 44. What can be inferred about Lanvita’s operation? A. It includes high-level AI knowledge from its users. B. It acquires users via offline service and trial sessions. C. It focuses on seniors with advanced computer skills. D. It relies on online advertisements to attract elderly users. 45. What message does Zhu want to convey in the last paragraph? A. AI should be designed with a human touch. B. Seniors can master new technology with ease. C. Technology will soon make eldercare simple. D. Smarter AI will decide the future of eldercare. 【答案】41. D 42. A 43. C 44. B 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了朱艳成创立AI驱动的老年人回忆录平台Lanvita的初衷、发展过程及运营理念。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““My father was eager to keep his memories safe.

(朱回忆道：“我父亲渴望保存他的记忆。很快，在电脑上整理所有东西的过程——他不习惯——被证明是一个真正的挑战，并开始让他筋疲力尽。”。她父亲的困难让朱想知道有多少其他老年人也有这个愿望，但却被技术所阻碍。)”可知，朱艳成创建Lanvita平台的直接原因是她父亲在使用数字工具时遇到困难。故选D项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The results revealed that 27.8 percent of surveyed seniors are willing to purchase memoir products for themselves, while 30.7 percent of adult children intend to buy them for their parents. (结果显示，27.8%的受访老年人愿意为自己购买回忆录产品，而30.7%的成年子女打算为父母购买。)”可知，调查结果显示，有相当一部分老年人和成年子女对回忆录产品有需求，说明回忆录产品需求广泛。故选A项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Through Mr. Gong’s eyes, the memoir goes far beyond a personal story, becoming a historical mirror that reflects the century-long transformation of his hometown. (通过龚先生的视角，回忆录远远超越了个人故事，成为一面反映他家乡百年变迁的历史镜子。)”可知，朱从龚先生的回忆录中意识到个人故事与历史之间的联系。故选C项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“To bridge the digital gap, she then cooperated with local communities, nursing homes, and other institutions to host offline trial sessions, allowing seniors to experience the memoir-creation process firsthand and receive completed versions of their stories shortly afterward.

(“在这个领域，我们真正需要的不一定是更智能的人工智能，而是更理解人类的人工智能，”她总结道。)”可知，朱艳成想传达的信息是人工智能的设计应该更有人情味。故选A项。 C Many of the drugs we take aren’t actually digested — they pass through our bodies, and down through the sewer (下水道) pipes. Traces of those drugs end up in the bodies of fish and other wildlife. Nobody’s sure what effect they have. Now, a paper being published in Science magazine finds that drugs to treat anxiety can affect the behavior of fish. This particular story starts with some fish that live in a creek just downstream from a sewage treatment plant in southern Sweden. Scientists collected the perch (鲈鱼) in that area and discovered that they had accumulated low levels of anxiety drugs in their bodies. Environmental scientist Jonatan Klaminder led a couple of his workmate at Umea University in Sweden to tackle this question in the lab. In the lab, they put some perch in a fish tank to see how they behaved under normal circumstances. Then they added some of a anxiety drug called oxazepam into the tank. The concentrations (浓度) of the drug were the same to those found in the river. “They became more unsociable and more active, and they were actually more effective in eating,” Klaminder says. “This drug actually removes some of the fear, the sense of fear, from these fishes. So instead of being afraid they focus on feeding.” Staying close to others is a well-known defense system to avoid natural enemies. In the wild, it is highly dangerous for a small fish to move away from the fish group. “The most likely outcome will be that a bigger fish will eat it,” he says. Over time, the whole food chain will be changed. The problem doesn’t present an obvious threat to people who might drink water from streams or eat the fish that live in them. The presence of drugs in surface waters — or even in fish and shellfish — is much lower than the levels that you might need to be concerned about, says Bryan Brooks of Baylor University in Waco, Texas, USA. But he warns that isn’t necessarily the case in the developing world. “Some studies show, for example, some rivers in India have the highest concentrations of drugs in the environment,” he says. “So the developing world really deserves some additional attention.” 46. The author wrote the text in order to ________. A. solve a problem B. give some advice C. tell an interesting story D. show the results of some research 47. Why did the researchers add oxazepam into the fish container? A. To treat a serious fish disease. B. To develop a new anxiety drug. C. To reduce the anxiety of wild perch. D. To copy wild perch’s living conditions. 48. In the experiment, which is one of the perch’s changes in behavior? A. They ate much less food. B. They spent more time alone. C. They helped each other when feeding. D. They worried more about their enemies. 49. According to the research, the anxiety drugs in rivers ________. A. reduce the number of wild perch B. make large fish calm down easily C. have deadly effect on small perch D. help wild fish become much healthier 50. In the opinion of Bryan Brooks, ________. A. drugs in rivers may be a threat to developing countries B. it is quite safe to drink water with anxiety drugs in India C. Americans should be more careful about drugs in rivers D. in the USA fish with drugs in their bodies cannot be eaten 【答案】46. D 47. D 48. B 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍瑞典科学家的研究发现，河流中的抗焦虑药物会改变鲈鱼行为，进而影响食物链，发展中国家更需关注。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Now, a paper being published in Science magazine finds that drugs to treat anxiety can affect the behavior of fish.(如今，一篇发表在《科学》杂志上的论文发现，治疗焦虑症的药物会影响鱼类的行为。)”可知，作者写作本文是为了展示相关研究的结果。故选D项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The concentrations (浓度) of the drug were the same to those found in the river. (药物的浓度与在河流中发现的浓度相同。)”可知，研究人员在鱼缸中加入药物是为了模拟野生鲈鱼的生存环境。故选D项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中的““They became more unsociable and more active, and they were actually more effective in eating,” Klaminder says. (克拉明德说：“它们变得更不合群、也更活跃，而且进食效率实际上也更高了。”)”可知，实验中鲈鱼的行为变化之一是它们会花更多时间独处。故选B项。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段中的“In the wild, it is highly dangerous for a small fish to move away from the fish group. “The most likely outcome will be that a bigger fish will eat it,” he says. Over time, the whole food chain will be changed. (在野外，小鱼离开鱼群是非常危险的。他说：“最有可能的结果是被更大的鱼吃掉。”随着时间的推移，整个食物链将会被改变。)”可知，抗焦虑药让鱼不再害怕、脱离鱼群，极易被大鱼捕食，对小鱼是致命影响。故选C项。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“But he warns that isn’t necessarily the case in the developing world. “Some studies show, for example, some rivers in India have the highest concentrations of drugs in the environment,” he says. “So the developing world really deserves some additional attention.”(但他警告说，发展中国家的情况未必如此。他说：“例如，一些研究表明，印度的一些河流中药物的环境浓度最高。因此，发展中国家确实值得更多关注。”)”可知，在布莱恩·布鲁克斯看来，河流中的药物可能对发展中国家构成威胁。故选A项。 D These days, being a teenager isn’t easy. Teens’ schedules often include doing after-school activities, sports practice, and homework, combined with working part-time for extra spending money or to contribute to household expenses, leaving many teens feeling overworked and stressed. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, close to a quarter of all U.S. high school students participate in the workforce. Most states place limits on the amount of hours teens can work, with 20 hours a week the standard limit. Research has shown that working over the standard limit negatively (负面地) affects teens in a variety of ways. Researchers published a recent report finding that working more than 20 hours a week during the school year leads to academic problems. The more hours a student works, the more likely their grades are to be lower. A study published in the Sociology of Education suggests that working more than 20 hours each week leads to higher dropout rates (辍学率). Another study in the American Educational Research Journal reports that students who work between 1 and 15 hours per week are more likely to complete high school; however, students who work more than 15 hours each week are more likely to drop out. Working over the standard limit also causes sleepiness, which can the cause of injuries and deaths related to inattention while driving. It has been considered as a major cause in at least 100,000 police-reported traffic crashes each year, killing more than 1,500 Americans and injuring another 71,000, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Young drivers aged 25 or under are involved in more than one-half of fall-asleep crashes.

But a day with little sleep doesn’t always have to be a bad day. We just need to give ourselves a little extra care. So here are some tips to care for yourself after a night with little rest. Firstly, give yourself a break. In our culture, we often feel that we have to push ourselves to do our best even when facing sleeplessness. But it’s okay to take a break. Breaking down tasks or putting off important decisions might be good choices on a sleepy day. Many people choose to drink coffee when they are short of sleep. But time is the key here. If people do drink coffee, they should do it as early as possible. What’s worse than one sleepless night is two sleepless nights. Too much coffee too late in the day can make it harder to fall asleep. It’s also a good idea to let people know you haven’t slept well. Not having enough rest can make us easier to get angry. It can also affect our memory and concentration, making us more likely to make mistakes. Most people expect to be given the message when others haven’t slept well. This way, they will be ready to offer more space and patience. Finally, try exercising. Exercise might be the last thing you want to do on a day when you feel sleepy, yet even a short walk up and down the stairs may help you wake up a bit and lift your spirits. But you have to know your limits, or it might cause serious problems. The best way to exercise on a sleepy day is to do it slowly, gently, and in small amounts. All in all, being short of sleep can be a challenging experience. Still, with care, it is possible to have a good day. 56.
