If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends

camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect

bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with

me. 36 .

The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. 37

We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and

use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work,

recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor`s bill for my son`s food poisoning.

I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness.

38 Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My

nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.

39 We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel

trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern

kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.

40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to

nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.

A. This time there was no tent.

B. Things are going to be improved.

C. The trip they took me on was a rough one.

D. I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.

E. I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.

F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.

G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.

Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning, and put the blame on the alarm clock. In

fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resetting your body clock. 16 Here’s

how to make one.

● 17 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it's important. Do you

want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better

prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reasons, tell your family or roommates

about the change you want to make.

your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time

the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 18 That’s a quarter-hour more

you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.

● Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night,

sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends actually

feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 19
