A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night′s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.
Researchers have discovered that "night milk" has more melatonin (褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and less worried.
In the study, mice were fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night by researchers from Seoul, South Korea.
Those given night milk, which had 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less worried than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.
Night milk quicken the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect of milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin medicine has been suggested to those who are trying to fall asleep at night.
Studies have also showed that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because there is calcium (钙) in it, which helps people to relax.
Milk is also sugar-free because it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will have on your body at night.
31. ( )According to the passage, the mice fed with daytime milk were less active.
32. ( )The study has been tested on mice for ten times.
33. ( )People with sleeping problems have been advised to drink milk collected during the night by researchers.
34. ( )Milk is good for sleep because there is melatonin and calcium in it.
35. ( )The writer shows the main idea of the passage by giving examples.

Once a man needed a new pair of shoes. This man was very good at math. He knew that in order to get shoes that fit him perfectly, it would be necessary to measure his shoe size.
So before he went to the market, he carefully measured his feet and drew a very detailed picture of his feet on a piece of paper. He wrote the exact size of each foot on the paper so that he would not buy the wrong size. Then before leaving the house, like a good mathematician, he rechecked his picture.
It was a very long way from the man's home to the market where he wanted to buy the shoes. It was afternoon when the man arrived at the market. When he reached a shoe store and was about to get in, the man realized that he had forgotten to bring the paper that he had carefully written on. He turned around and walked all the way back home to get it.
It was nearly sunset when the man arrived back at the market. The market was closing. The shoemaker had packed up all of his shoes in bags and was ready to go home. Seeing this, the man stopped the shoemaker quickly and asked him to unpack his bags to sell shoes.
"Hey! I've never seen a bigger bean brain like you," the shoemaker said, "why didn't you just try on the shoes in my store, but go home and get your paper "
The man's face turned red, hanging his head down. "I thought there was only one way to solve my problem. I should have thought to check with others if they had better solutions that might be as good as mine, or even better than my own."
