A twist of fate

When Tamara Rabi met Adriana Scott at a local McDonald’s restaurant, their lives changed forever. “I didn’t know what to say 【小题1】 ‘hi’. I was just so shocked -- it was like seeing myself,” says Adriana. They were both students at neighbouring universities in Long Island, New York, and they had grown up only 30 kilometres apart. They shared a birthday, they were exactly the same height and both loved hip hop. But the most important thing 【小题2】 was shared between them was the same Mexican mother. Both girls grew up knowing that their mother 【小题3】 (give) them up for adoption when they were born, but they had no idea 【小题4】 they had a twin sister. Then, Justin Lattore, a friend of Adriana’s, went to Tamara’s twentieth birthday party. When he walked in and saw Tamara, hardly 【小题5】 he believe his eyes. “I was just shocked -- she looked so much like Adriana,” says Justin. Then it got clear -- they had to be sisters. In fact, Tamara had already noticed that strangers on her university campus often smiled and said hello, clearly 【小题6】 (mistake) her for someone else.

Following the birthday, Justin put the two girls in touch and they arranged the McDonald’s meeting by email. “【小题7】 she came towards me, she was walking like me, talking like me,” says Tamara. “We have the same mannerisms, the same interests and got the same grades at school,” adds Adriana. The girl even discovered that as children they had often had the same nightmare of a really loud noise 【小题8】 (follow) by a very quiet one. They had another sad factor a common. 【小题9】 of their adoptive fathers had died a few years before they met.

Now the twins are finishing their studies, and they meet often. “I feel she’s my sister, but our relationship right now is more like friends,” says Tamara. She’s optimistic and excited that their futures will be together. “We will always have each other. We don’t have any other brothers and sisters -- we are sure 【小题10】 (grow) old together!”

Japanese firms encourage daytime naps

Imagine working for an employer who, aware that you’re probably not sleeping enough at night, allows you to down tools and nap as part of your regular work 【小题1】 -- and not just forty winks at your desk, but a restorative snooze in a quiet room.

These are some of the measures being used by a growing number of companies in Japan to counter an epidemic of sleeplessness that costs its economy a(n) 【小题2】 $ 138 bn a year.

Tech startups have been quickest to 【小题3】the “sleep debt” among irritable and unproductive employees. Last year, Nextbeat, an TT service provider, went as far as setting up two “strategic sleeping rooms” -- one for men, the other for women -- at its headquarters in Tokyo. The aroma-infused rooms 【小题4】 devices that block out background noise, allowing workers to stretch out on sofas for a(n) 【小题5】 nap. Mobile phones, tablets and laptops are banned.

“Napping can do as much to improve someone’s 【小题6】as a balanced diet and exercise,” Emiko Sumikawa, a member of the Nextbeat board, told Kyodo news agency.

Nextbeat also asks employees to leave work by 9 pm and to avoid doing excessive overtime, which has been 【小题7】 for a rising rate of death from overwork.

Japanese workers have more reason than most to submit to （服从）the 【小题8】 for a daytime snooze, whether at work or during long commutes.

A survey conducted using fitness trackers in 28 countries found that Japanese men and women sleep, on average, just 6 hours and 35 minutes a night -- 45 minutes less than the international average -- making them the most sleep-deprived of all. Estonians, Canadians, Belgians, Austrians, as well as the Dutch and French, all get a comparatively decent night’s sleep, according to the survey.

The government has also come to appreciate the 【小题9】 of a well-rested workforce, with the health ministry recommending that all working-age people take a nap of up to 30 minutes in the early afternoon -- advice 【小题10】 embraced by some of the country’s politicians.
