V. Translate the text. Getting to sleep

Normally, people sleep between seven and eight hours a day, although, some people need less than this and some may need more. But millions of people have trouble getting to sleep every night.

According to sleep expert Dr.Robert Schachter, many people do not know why they have difficulty sleeping. Most people know that tea and coffee often make it difficult to go to sleep because they contain caffeine. But some medicine, such as cold tablets, also contain caffeine and interfere with sleep. Sleeping pills may help you fall asleep, but when you wake the next morning you don’t feel refreshed.

Our living habits also affect our sleep. Busy people who are under stress during the day may not be able to calm down and fall asleep at night. Eating just before going to bed may also keep you awake.

Dr. Schachter says that you will sleep more easily if your bedroom is used only for sleep. You shouldn’t use your bedroom as a conference room, a TV room, or an exercise room. You should also establish a regular sleeping schedule, but don’t go to bed until you are tired. Try to go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time every morning. And if all this does not work, try counting sheep!

I. Read and translate the text.

An Englishman was paying his first visit to America having come to see his married daughter and his newly born grandson. If the steamer had arrived in time, his daughter would have come to meet him. But as the steamer arrived earlier than was expected there was no one at the dock to meet him.

The Englishman knew his daughter’s address and in due time a taxi brought him with his luggage to his daughter’s house, which was only six blocks across the town from the dock.

“But, father,” asked his daughter, after he had been welcomed, “did you have any difficulty in getting here?”

“If I had known the value of American money,” he said, “I should not have had any trouble whatever. On the ship I had two pounds changed into American coins. The clerk tried to explain their value to me, but I couldn’t understand him - after dealing with pennies and shillings and half-crowns and pounds, these American terms seemed so difficult to an old man like me.”
