Sleep is a “strategic resource” that most companies are ignoring. When work schedul
19、es are aligned with peoples natural sleep patterns, they produce higher quality and more reformatory work because they are more focused, less stressed and generally healthier. The opposite is also truewhen employees are not getting enough sleep they are more likely to make major mistakes and suffer
20、from workplace injuries. But its not just about the amount of sleep you get.

When the mother turned at the sound of her son crying, she saw that his hand was in the vase and was appa
26、rently stuck. She tried to help him and pulled and pulled until the child cried out in pain. But the hand was stuck fast. How would they get it out? The father suggested breaking the vase but it was quite valuable and the childs hand might be cut in the process. Yet he knew that if all else failed,
27、there would be no other alternative. So he said to the boy, “Now, lets make one more try. Open your hand and stretch your fingers out straight, like Im doing, and then pull!” “But Dad,” said the boy, “if I do that, Ill lose my penny!” The boy had had a coin in his hand all the time and was holding i

34、r decades. After all, they only take eight minutes to cook in a dorm hotpot and are easy on the budget. Holly Grounds, a recent project design graduate of Ravens Bourne University, in London, used to eat a lot of ramen noodles when she studied. But it got her thinking that the packaging of a product
35、 that takes just minutes to cook and eat shouldnt take decades or more to decompose(分解). Thats why she decided to make eatable wrappers for noodles, avoiding the need for plastic.Grounds wanted to produce a product that the user could watch actually dissolve in the pot, unlike other bio-based films(
36、包装膜)that are being developed. “While other bio-based alternatives to plastic claim to be compostable(可用作堆肥的), from a consumer perspective its not always that simple,” she said. “Many of the emerging(新兴的) bio-based films only break down in an industrial composter at 50 degrees Celsius, so they often
37、end up in the wrong place without the consumer really knowing that they caused damage to the planet.” Now, instead of plastic packs of seasonings(调料), the dried spices and flavorings are part of a flavorless bioplastic film that wraps the noodles and keeps them fresh. The film dissolves in less than
38、 a minute when it comes into contact with boiling water, according to Grounds, and the liquid becomes the sauce for the noodles and larger ingredients like dried shrimp. “The ingredients are mixed and heated until the mixture is thick enough. At this point, I add the spices and flavorings before pou
39、ring it into a mold(模具) to set for 24 hours,” Grounds said. These noodle parcels are then packaged in a wax-coated paper.With plastics taking hundreds of years to decompose and filling landfills and oceans globally, eatable packaging and single-use items are seen as the way to go. Grounds sees oppor
40、tunities to use her eatable packaging for other ready meals and she wants to contribute to the global fight against single-use plastics.32Why does Grounds want to replace plastic wrappers with eatable ones?AThe plastic ones are not eco-friendly.BThe plastic ones do harm to our health.CThe eatable on
41、es appeal to more consumers.DThe eatable ones save more cooking time.33What makes the bio-based films fail to be compostable in practice?AThe immature technology.BThe high cost of dissolving.CTheir special material composition.DTheir specific decomposing conditions.34What do we know about the eatabl
42、e wrapper according to paragraph 3?AIt ensures longer preservation time.BIt requires a special cooking method.CIt ends up as the sauce for food.DIt improves the taste and flavor of noodles.35What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?AThe method of using the eatable noodle wrappers.BThe process of ma
