People often go to cafés to relax themselves and keep themselves from falling asleep, but Mr Healing, a popular café chain in South Korea actually does the opposite. Customers can come in, order a drink, lie down on a comfortable massage (按摩) chair, and take a nap.
Many people suffer from a lack of sleep as a result of overworking, so any opportunity to relax and even take a nap is greatly appreciated. Mr Healing is the perfect place to go when you're on a short work or school break and need to catch up on sleep. The café offers massage periods in various modes, depending on how much time you have and how you choose to spend it.
The 20-minute session is priced at $3.5, the 30-minute massage costs $7, and the 50-minute session is $9, all of which also include a drink. Once you make your choice, you are taken to the "healing centre". You are asked to take off your shoes as well as any jewellery that might damage the chairs, after which you can choose a massage mode, from "stretch" or "sleep". You can start with stretch for a few minutes, and then switch to sleep if you want to take a short nap. After it comes to an end, you are taken back to the café area to enjoy a coffee or one of the many other refreshing drinks on the menu.
Mr Healing cafés are so popular in South Korea that customers are advised to make reservations in advance to be sure that a massage chair is available(可用的). "I have to sit on a chair and stare at a computer monitor all day due to my job, so the healing room is truly effective to relieve tiredness and stress from weekdays," said Park Hye-sun, a 24-year-old officer.
Some have described Mr Healing and other similar cafes in South Korea as simple fashions, but others see them as a sustainable business model, because they offer a service that people really need.

Signs of Healthy Friendships
Once in a while it's helpful to see if your friendship is as healthy as it can be. You might get used to a friendship over time to the point where you don't see room for improvement. And since great friendships are priceless, you should always surround yourself with the kind of people who will lift your spirits, make you laugh, and remind(提醒) you that you are loved. ①____________ Here are characteristics that strong friendships share.
②____________
Friends make you feel comfortable with yourself, so you don't need to act like someone you're not. Your friends know your shortcomings and love you anyway. You are perhaps the "best version" of yourself when you're with your friends.
A healthy friendship includes plenty of gentle honesty. True friends won't pretend (假装) just to avoid an argument. ③____________ As a result, you'll know where you stand with your friends and won't be afraid to share your true opinions.
They argue in a healthy way.
One of the biggest misunderstandings about good friends is that they never fight. But let's face it: everyone fights. ④____________ In fact, voicing your opinions freely will cause you to disagree from time to time and that's okay.
Healthy friendships mean you can be friends with someone else, too.
⑤____________ That's why great friends will improve your relationship, yet still encourage you to meet people and try new things without them. A healthy friendship means that sometimes the two of you spend time apart, and that's okay.
A. Arguing isn't unhealthy.
B. Is your friendship as healthy as it can be
C. Good friends are real and honest with each other.
D. Good friends lose touch with each other from time to time.
E. With an unhealthy friendship, you know clearly that something is "off".
F. Even if you have the best friend, it doesn't hurt to expand your social circle.
G. In a positive friendship, your friends won't lie to you, and they won't hurt your feelings either.
