Pre-reading
1. Do you know about these forms of art?
Did you know?
Henna body art is the practice of laying a paste made from henna, which leaves intricate (复杂精细的) patterns on the skin. The paste is left to dry and remains on the skin for some time and then is scraped off (擦除), leaving an orange stain (色斑) that darkens to a final black cherry or coffee colored stain in about 12 hours. The best stains are achieved on the hands and feet, other areas such as the belly, back and chest will stain a lighter color. Henna is different from tattooing in that there is no invasion of the skin with pigment with a needle, it is painless and quite relaxing.

What are hypnic jerks?  How can we avoid them?

  It is common for people to experience muscle twitches in the arms, legs or other parts of the body when they are falling asleep. It is called a hypnic jerk.
  Though hypnic jerks are sometimes scary, they are harmless. If it wakes you up, you can simply roll over and go back to sleep. You better not have a caffeinated drink, or take part in exciting evening activities because they may make hypnic jerks happen more often.
