When the midday nap(午睡)bell rings, Geng Xian and his classmates from Nanshan Foreign Language(Group) Kehua School in Shenzhen pull out footrests (搁脚板),recline(靠)on their chairs and lie back for a nap. Since May 6, the school has introduced reclining chairs for students to nap during the lunch break. Thereclining chairs were provided for four grades, and there were over 100 sets for Grade.

“Before this, I could only rest at my desk for a nap, often leading to numb(麻的)hands and a sore neck. Sometimes I even found myself pressing my eyes against my arms, causing discomfort in my eyes,” said the 15-year-old Geng Xian.“Now,lying down for sleep is very comfortable,just like being at home.”

For Wang Tingnuo, lying down to sleep has made her prefer to rest at school.“I used to nap for about 20 minutes. Now I choose to sleep 10 to 20 minutes earlier with the reclining chair,” said Wang. She added that the longer sleep time also helps her do better in her afternoon studies.

According to Xu Weimin, a sleep expert in Shanghai, lying down for a nap offers physical and mental benefits.

However, there has also been some worry about the reclining chairs.“Some students might lie back even during class, so it needs proper management,” Chu Peilu, an English teacher said.“But in all, I think it brings more good than bad.”

In a village near a desert lived a young and successful businessman named James. Although having a lot, he often felt unhappy because of the endless challenges he faced.

One day, an old man came to the village with 100 camels(骆驼). He said he could solve any problem. James went to see him and said,“I'm very unhappy with my life. I always have business worries, family troubles and health problems. Please tell me how to make them disappear.”

The old man smiled and said,“I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning. But first, can you do a small thing for me?” James agreed. The old man asked him to take care of the 100 camels for the night, making sure that they all sat down and rested before he could go to sleep.

The next morning, the old man asked James how his night went. James said sadly,“I didn't sleep at all. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get all the camels to sit together. Even if I managed to get some camels to sit on one side, a few others would stand on the other side.”

“That's true. Some camels sat down easily, but many others wouldn't, even after we tried; however, some of these eventually sat down on their own later,” the old man said.

James nodded.

The man continued,“Problems are just like camels-some problems get solved by themselves, some get solved when you put in some effort, and some do not get solved even after you have tried your best. Leave such problems to time. At the right time, these problems themselves will come to an end.”

James felt a sense of understanding. It completely changed the way he saw life's challenges.
