These foods include fruits, such as apples, pears, and bananas and whole grain breads.
11、 Eating most foods high in carbohydrates(碳水化合物), will produce the feeling of sleepiness. This is because carbohydrates raise blood insulin (胰岛素) levels quickly. When insulin levels increase, there is also an increase of serotonin. Serotonin is well known as our bodies sleep enabling chemical. It pro

18、others Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Fathers Day, on the third Sunday in June. Mothers Day was announced for national observance by President Woodrow Wilson in 1915. Ann Jarvis from Grafton, West Virginia, had started the idea to have a day to honor mothers. She was the one who chose the sec
19、ond Sunday in May, and also began the custom of wearing a carnation(康乃馨). In 1909, Mrs. Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers. She wanted to honor her own father. After her mother died, he was responsible for raising a family of five sons and a daughter. In 191
20、0, the first Fathers Day was observed in Spokane. Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to make Fathers Day a national holiday, in 1972. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These
21、two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people take part in religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the
22、tomb. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecue for Fathers Day.These are days of fun and good feelings and memories. Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These

Sometimes electrical wiring gets too hot. Sometimes food is forgotten in the oven or a dish towel falls onto a burner. Som
27、etimes people are careless with matches, candles or cigarettes. Whatever the cause, home fires take families home, possessions and sometimes even lives. Heading Off Trouble: There are many things you can do to prevent fires in your home. Do a safety check with your parents. Make sure that all smoke
28、alarms in the house work. Monthly tests are a good idea. Check to see that toasters are unplugged when not used and that towels, curtains and some other flammable (易燃) things are out of the way of the stovetop and oven. Look at the electric socket (插座) to make sure that they are in working order and
29、 not overloaded. If you have a fireplace, put a strong screen in front of it to keep fires from coming into the room. The Great Escape: Even with careful checks, fires can still happen. That is why it is important for families to have a fire safety plan. First, plan two escape routes from every room
30、 in the house, if possible. That way, if smoke or flames are coming in one way, there is still another choice. Second, agree on an outside meeting place like a tree or light pole so that everyone will know where to go. Finally, practice your fire escape plan at least twice a year. If your home has a
31、 second floor, make sure everyone practises, from a firstfloor window, how to use a safety ladder to escape.

Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16yearold daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk
36、 about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager. “I would never have said to my mom, Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it？” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”Music was n
37、ot the only gulf(分歧). From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits. Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex an
38、d drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parentchild activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood. No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friends.
39、” But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. “Theres still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening，” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “In the middle of that chang
40、e, there is a lot of confusion among parents.” Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving(演化的) roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.
41、 “My parents were on the before side of that change, but todays parents, the 40yearolds, were on the after side，” explains Mr. Ballmer. “Its not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun

109、 follow.Each accomplishment is one step closer to the final goal.I think we can all agree that committing to a clearly defined path, regardless of which one, gives Pete the best chance of becoming wealthy.But how can he choose a path if he doesnt know what he wants? Maybe money isnt his only goal.Ma
