2．If you're feeling a little sleepy at your desk you may want to send this article to your boss．
According to the experts，many Brits will have to work today suffering from low levels of sleep thanks to losing that extra hour through British Summer Time．Experts are urging bosses to let their employees have a nap （小睡） to make up for sleep lost due to the clocks changing．
Dr Nerina Ramlakhan，who specializes in sleep therapy，said that although the clocks going forward signals the start of a long-awaited summer，it can damage the sleep patterns of people who are already struggling to get a good night's sleep．If you are one of the 25% of Brits that gets less than five hours sleep a night，this time change could see you drop down to as little as four hours，which is a dangerously low amount．So bosses should consider allowing their staff to take a short nap in the office to make up for lost time．
Company bosses may object to the idea，but Dr Nerina argued that certain napping time may make for a stronger workforce．She said，"Just a 20-minute power nap can make a huge difference．Naps have been scientifically proven to increase creativity and problem solving ability，and they can even rebalance the immune system （免疫系統(tǒng)），meaning staff are less likely to take sick days．"According to Dr Nerina the best time take a power nap at work is between 2pm and 4pm，as any later in the day may affect sleep at night．
Bosses of the UK，take note．

33．What do experts think bosses in the UK should do？B
A．Take a nap during work time．
B．Allow employees to sleep more．
C．Share this article with employees．
D．Change the clock in the work place．
34．What's the influence of the British Summer Time？C
A．It makes summer days become longer．
B．British people can have only four hours sleep．
C．It challenges the sleep patterns of British people．
D．Employees are unable to make up for their lost sleep．
35．What does Dr Nerina think of employees'napping time？D
A．The best length is 20 minutes．
B．It affects their sleep at night．
C．The best time is before 2pm．
D．It improves their work．

9．To forgive is a virtue（美德），but no one has ever said it is easy．When someone has deeply hurt you，it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate．However，forgiveness is possible，and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health．People who forgive show less sadness，anger and stress and more hopefulness，according to a recent research．
（36）BTry the following steps：
Calm yourself．（37）FYou can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure：a beautiful scene in nature，or someone you love．
Don't wait for an apology．Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize．They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things t he same way．（38）GKeep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you．
Take the control aw ay from your offender（冒犯者）．Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain．Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings，learn to look for the love，beauty and kindness around you．
（39）DIf you understand your offender，you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness，fear，and even love．You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view．
Don't forget to forgive yourself．（40）E But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it．
A．Why should you forgive？
B．How should you start to forgive？
C．Recognize the benefits of forgiveness．
D．Try to see things from your offender's angle（角度）．
