"I bought and paid for four donkeys, but now it shows that I have three." He was riding, of course, to count the donkey he was riding.
When he got home, his wife met him in front of their house. "I see that you bought some fine donkeys," she said. “Did you buy them for a good price?”
"Yes, I did," he said." But something surprised me. I bought donkeys at the market this morning. And I am sure I had all four with me when I left the village. But now it seems that I have only three. See "He still counted them," One, two, three." He still did not remember that he rode one of the donkeys in the village and was sitting on its back at that very moment.

I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa .But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza .I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza .It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought.
Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa and not pizza .But there was still something special about it for me .The tower got its name because it really does lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it .They are afraid it may fall over and they don’t like it leans over the city.
I do not think it’s a good idea to try to fix it .The tower probably will not fall down ,it is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of leaning .Nothing is perfect, it seems to say.
And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting .Let’s take the tower in Pisa. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower is the most famous. People e from all over the world to see it.

It is known that most people spend one third of their lives sleeping. So sleeping is important to our health and daily lives. But the problem is that for most people, especially office workers, it is not easy to get enough sleep. For centuries, people have been troubled by insomnia. There are three ways to deal with it
Pay attention to your daily diet!
How well you sleep is closely connected to your daily diet. If you eat fat or hard-to-digest food for supper or eat just before you sleep, it will keep keeping you awake. What should be on your daily menu? For supper, you can choose something low-fat and digestible like fish, chicken or lean meat, rice and wheat. All the foods mentioned above can soothe the nerves(舒缓神经). Avoid foods that cause gas such as potato, corn, bread, carbonic acid(碳酸)drinks. If you still can not sleep well after cutting out these harmful foods, try adding some foods that will make you sleepy
Create a good sleeping environment
A good sleeping environment includes fortable pajamas, a soft quilt, and most importantly, a fortable bed.
Do something relaxing
In order to get a good night's sleep, you should not only relax your body, but also your mind. Try to do something to relax your mind before going to bed. Listening to soft music, reading or watching some light TV for half an hour before going to bed is a good way to make you feel sleepy. If you still can't sleep, try some exercise like walking or jogging to get rid of stress and increase your blood circulation(血液循环). Also taking a bath or soaking（浸泡）your feet in warm water can help your blood circulation and relax your body.

A. 疲劳 B. 紧张 C. 兴奋 D. 失眠

( ) 63. Which can help you to fall asleep?
