Early i n the autumn of 1674，Henry Oldenburg，secretary of the Royal Society in London，received an extraordinary letter. Sent by Antoni van Leeuwenhoek，a draper from Delft in the Netherlands，it contained an unlikely¬ sounding claim.

Using a microscope of his own invention，van Leeuwenhoek had seen tiny creatures，invisible to the naked eye，living in lake water. Some of these “animalcules  (微生物) ” were so small，he later estimated that 30 million of them would still be smaller than a grain of sand.

Royal Society fellows couldn't believe it. Even with his most powerful instruments，the celebrated English microscopist Robert Hooke had never observed anything like the little creatures.

In fact，the Dutchman had developed far superior lenses to Hooke's，and had discovered bacteria and protozoans (原生动物).By producing even smaller and more curved lenses—using a technique that he kept secret—van Leeuwenhoek was able to magnify objects up to 500 times. As well as discovering micro¬organisms，he was the first to see red blood cells.

In 1677，van Leeuwenhoek sent the Society further animalcule ( 微生物)observations. Hooke eventually improved his own microscopes to the point where he，too，could see the tiny creatures. Three years later van Leeuwenhoek was made a fellow.

It was not until 1890，more than 160 years after van Leeuwenhoek's death，that bacteria were linked with diseases. “Reading van Leeuwenhoek's letters，you very much get the impression of somebody dazzled by what he was finding，”says Lesley Robertson，leader of the archives at Delft University's school of microbiology.“ He thought he'd found a whole new world—but he certainly never pic ked up on the connection with illness.”

61.What did Antoni van Leeuwenhoek see with his own microscope?

A.A letter.                 B.Bacteria and protozoans

D.van Leeuwenhoek was the first one to know how to observe bacteria and protozoans

63.What does the underlined word “magnify” in the fourth paragraph mean?

A.To clear away  B.To improve  C.To collect  D.To make large

64.From the last paragraph we can see，when Antoni van Leeuwenhoek saw the tiny creatures，invisible to the naked eye，living in lake water，________.

A.he was overexcited

B.he knew he followed someone else's discovery

C.he was a bit disappointed

D.his discovery was to lead a connection between bacteria and illnesses

If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school，you are probably not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake，turning in bed until the early hours of the morning when you finally fall asleep. When you wake up，you don’t feel fresh，but tired and worn out and unable to face a new day.

Dr.Henry Winkle，in a recent newspaper article “Stress and Sleep”，says that worry and sleep are directly related. He says，“The more we worry，the less we sleep，and the more we are unable to deal with stress. If we can find a way to get a good night’s sleep，”he adds，“we can often find the energy to deal with what’s worrying us.”

So，what is a good night’s sleep?Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy varies a lot.Seven hours is about the average  amount. Though  strangely  enough，sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more comfortable.

Dr.Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as mentally tired.A bedtime drink can also  help，but not coffee or tea. “When you put the light out，” Dr.Winkle says，“pay attention to relaxing your muscles，working slowly up from your feet，and you’ll be asleep before you know it.”
