is different from drowsiness.In general,drowsiness is feeling the need to sleep,.while fatigue is a lack of energy and motivation.Drowsiness and apathy(a feeling of indifference or not caring about what happens)can be symptoms of fatigue.Fatigue can be a normal and important response to physical exertion,emotional stress,boredom,or lack of sleep.However,it can also be a nonspecific sign of a more serious psychological or physical disorder.Fatigue that is not relieved by enough sleep,good nutrition,or,a low-stress environment should be evaluated by your doctor.Because fatigue is a common complaint,sometimes a potentially serious cause may be overlooked.The pattern of fatigue may help your doctor determine its underlying cause.For example,if you wake up in the morning rested but rapidly,develop,fatigue with activity,you may have an ongoing physical condition like an underactive throid.On the other hand,if you wake up with a low level of energy and have fatigue that lasts throughout the day,you may be depressed.Here are some tips for reducing fatigue,:,-Get adequate,regular,and consistent amounts of sleep each night.-Eat a healthy,well-balanced diet and drink plenty of water throughout the day.-Exercise regularly.-Learn better ways to relax.Try yoga*or meditation*.-Maintain a reasonable work and personal schedule.-Change your stressful circumstances,if possible.For example,switch jobs,take a vacation,and deal directly with problems in a relationship.-Take a multivitamin.Talk to your doctor about what you need and what is best for you.-Avoid alcohol,nicotine*,and drug use.,If you have chronic*pain or depression,treating either often helps address the fatigue.However,some antidepressant*medications may cause or worsen fatigue.Your medication may have to be adjusted to avoid this problem.Do not stop or change any medications without instruction from your doctor.Stimulants*(including caffeine)are not effective treatments for fatigue,and can actually make the problem worse when the drugs are discontinued.Sedatives*also tend to intensify fatigue in the long run.,Passage 2 The Truth about the French!,Focus:,EX.A:Pre-listening,How do you behave in

Utah*and Colorado*combined.The larger resorts have an adequate number of restaurants and discos.It is a good idea to eat a good lunch because the mountain restaurants are normally much better than the restaurants in the ski stations.French resorts are mostly government owned and operated.The social system puts a highpercentage of money back into the areas.This provides state-of-the-art*lifts,snow making and,snow grooming.In general,an intermediate skier who can read a lift map will easily be able to ski all day avoiding lift lines and crowds,even during the busiest season.The French school systems have a staggered*two-week winter vacation period.When thesnow is good,nearly all of France migrates to the mountains for this period.The break usually covers the last two weeks of February and the first week of March.The time to absolutely avoid isthe Paris school holiday week which will always be in the middle period of the vacation time but starting the first or second week of the break.,No one has a more undeserved*reputation about his or her character than the French.The French are not generally arrogant and rude.True,in large tourist centers there are unpleasant people and if youre looking for or expecting rudeness,you may just provoke*it.Generally the French,especially in the countryside,are as kind as you wish and you will find warmth and acceptance.The most fractious*Frenchman is easily disarmed by a little sincerity*.When greeting someone or saying good-bye,always shake hands.Dont use a firm,pumping handshake,but a quick,slight pressure one.When you enter a room or a shop you should,pumping handshake,but a quick,slight pressure one.When you enter a room or a shop you should greet everyone there.If you meet a person you know very well use their first name and kiss both cheeks.Men dont usually kiss unless they are relatives.Good topics of conversation include food,sports,hobbies and where you come from.Topics to avoid are prices,where items were bought,what someone does for a living,income and age.Questions about personal and family life are considered private.Expect to find the French well-informed about the history,culture and politics of other countries.To gain their respect,be prepared to show some knowledge of the history and,politics of France.France is generally a very safe country to visit.Pickpockets,however,are not unheard of.In large cities particularly,take precautions against theft.Always secure your vehicles,leave nothing of value visible and dont carry your wallet in your back pocket.Beware of begging
