Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night? If so, here is a piece of advice for you: Listen to some soft music.

Scientists have found that soft music can help to improve sleep quality and quantity. It works for people of all ages. Soft music can help us fall asleep faster, wake up less during the night and feel more rested in the morning. You may not notice the effects overnight, though. It could take as many as three weeks to see any improvements.

The reasons aren't clear yet. It may have something to do with the relaxing effect of a good song. Music can have real physical effects, too. Soft music can lower our heart rate and slow down our breathing.

Scientists say that for most people, music that has 70 beats per minute (bpm) works best. Classical, jazz and folk music are usually more effective than other musical styles. You may need to experiment(尝试) to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by entering its title into songbpm.com. And remember to get the volume right. Make sure that the final piece is one that slowly fades out(渐弱).

It is very important to get enough high-quality sleep. Before you go to bed tonight, play some soft music. Then, just prepare to be rocked off to dreamland!

A. This prepares us for sleep.

B. Familiar songs work well, too.

C. Scientists like different kinds of music.

D. Why can soft music help us sleep better?

E. If not, you may be woken up by the sudden silence.

F. And it works much better for people with sleeping problems.

Science is the best way we have of finding out about the world. Scientists collect evidence (证据), They have ideas about the way things work. Science tests those ideas. Sometimes the test will show that the idea is not correct. If the idea passes the test, it adds to our understanding.

Scientists make observations (观察). They may look, or listen. They may read the work of other scientists. This gives them ideas. You can do this. You can look around you. You can ask questions. You can plan a test to find out. You can discover something new.

Scientists make predictions. They say something about the future. They might say 'if I do this, then I think that will happen、Isaac Newton was a famous scientist. When he shone white light through a glass prism, he saw a spectrum (光谱)of different colors. Newton predicted what would happen if he shone the spectrum through a second prism. He thought the colors would come together and he would see white light again. He tried it. He shone a spectrum through a second prism. He was right. The colors made white light.

He discovered that white light is made up of many colors.

It's important to test your ideas. It's important to plan a fair test. A scientist wondered how a tree grows• Where does all that material come from? Was it from the soil?

He planted a young tree in a pot He weighed the pot, the dry soil and the tree at the start of his test. Years later, the tree had grown talk It had many branches and leaves. The scientist dug it up.
