Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or， in summer， they may think it is the heat. However， the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that timeabout eight hours after you wake upyour body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy.Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.In many parts of the world， people take naps in the middle of the day.

One Dutch designer is finding creative ways to make a change and hes inviting cyclists to join him.Daan Roosegaarde, 38, is a designer from the Netherlands. He uses creative ideas to improve city life. For his Smog Free Project, he designed a portable tower that cleans air in Chinese parks.In the Netherlands, he designed a glowing bicycle path.Now Daan and his team are working with engineers at Chinese bike-sharing company Ofo to create a new product for public use. Its an air-cleaning machine attached (连接) to a bicycle and is part of the Smog Free Project.In smoggy weather, the device would breathe in the air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the cyclists face.

Whats more, the schools in central and western areas will get more support to improve their education.Students from rural and poor areas also get more chances to receive higher education. A special college program makes it possible for more students from those areas to go to key (重点的) colleges and universities.
