Do you know Li Yanhua? Many farmers in Heilongjiang Province know about her. They call her Madame Golden Beans(金豆娘娘).

Li was born in Hailun, Heilongjiang Province in 1966. Her city is famous for its soybeans(大豆). When she was a small girl, she often saw her parents grow soybeans. She decided to learn more about them. After finishing school, she worked on agricultural research(农业研究). Her job is to grow the best soybeans.

It's warm in Hainan in winter, so every autumn Li brings soybean seeds(种子) to Hainan. She is always busy with work, so she never enjoys the beautiful beaches in Hainan. "I hope that I can grow great soybeans for our Chinese people, and I always work hard for that," Li Yanhua said.

"My husband supports(支持) me, and he does a lot for our family. I go to work very early in the morning, so he takes me breakfast every day. He looks after our daughter and does all he can to look after her. I hope I can spend more time with my family," Li said.

Recently, volunteering is more and more popular in our daily lives. It is becoming a common thing among people of all ages. We believe that being helpful is one of the most important qualities（品质）. In some Chinese high schools, the students need to volunteer for at least 40 hours to graduate. There are many kinds of voluntary work, such as organizing books in libraries, taking care of children in hospital, delivering food to the old and so on.

Tom once volunteered in a primary school. His job was to help students. When he first started, he was nervous. Then, as time went on, he became more and more interested in his job. He worked as a volunteer in the school for 2 months. He got along well with the students. When the voluntary work was over, he felt happy and excited.

5 ways to train your brain for better sleep

The days are longer, full of sunshine and bright with the promise of enjoying a more relaxing spring and summer with your loved ones. But if you want to enjoy your daytime, it's time to improve your sleep during the night-time. "Sleep problems endanger health and quality (质量) of life for up to 45% of the world's population," according to the World Sleep Society.

Sleep is one of the three keys to a healthier, longer life (the others are diet and exercise). . Here are the top five ways to improve your sleep and get some zz's:

Create a sleep nest

. Science tells us that we sleep better in cooler temperatures of about 60 to 67 degrees Fahrenheit (15℃ to 20℃).

Develop a routine

Set up a bedtime ritual by taking a warm bath or shower, reading a book or listening to soft music. You're teaching your mind to relax. And stick to it. Go to bed and get up at the same time each day, even on weekends or your days off. .

Cut the lights

Production of the sleep hormone melatonin (荷尔蒙褪黑激素) begins at dark. Research has found that the body will slow or stop it with light on, to get sway from any light, even the blue light from your charging smart phone.

Refuse the wine

Don't turn to wine to make you calm or help you sleep. . Your body needs to experience all three steps of sleep—light sleep, dream, and deep sleep—to fully repair itself.

Heavy and spicy foods may give you heartburn or other digestive problems, thus influencing your ability to get and stay asleep.
