During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping

12、hifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other. Although your mind slows down, you will dream from time to time. Scientists who study sleep point out that when you are dreaming, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM,
13、 which stands for rapid eye movement. If you have trouble falling asleep, some people suggest breathing very slowly and very deeply.

16、y would answer , “Why , none , of course. Housework is my duty!” In the real world, however, most people have certain dislikes for some kinds of household work. Two of these tasks are ironing（熨）clothes and washing dishes. Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed q
