Mountain biking

Mountain biking is becoming an increasingly popular sport, as people become more interested in keeping fit and doing activities which take them out of their homes. It is not only a pleasurable way of improving your fitness, but [1] . one of the most rewarding ways to explore the countryside. 

However, it is important to follow [2] simple rules, otherwise you could destroy the environment and rock the [3]  for other people around. It is [4] to cyclists to decide what road to use, but they must [5] attention to the type of path they are on. Some paths are only designed for people who are [6] foot, so if you are cycling on these, you could cause inconvenience to walkers as [7] as end up in [8] water being taken to court by the owner of the land you are on. On any other path, you should still respect walkers and be careful as you pass horse riders. Other things which you are asked to do are to close gates behind you, so [9] farm animals cannot escape, and to take your rubbish home with you. Always [10] someone knows where you are going and have the right equipment and clothing for the conditions. [11], you could create unnecessary problems for yourself.

Nightmares

Nightmares, like most dreams, occur during the stage of sleep when the brain is active and sorting through experiences and new information for learning and memory. The vivid images the brain is processing can seem as real as the emotions they may trigger.

This part of sleep [12]known as the rapid eye movement or REM stage because the eyes are rapidly moving beneath closed eyelids. Nightmares tend to happen during the second half of a night’s sleep, [13] REM intervals are longer.

No one knows exactly [14] causes nightmares. Dreams and nightmares seem to be one way kids process thoughts and feelings [15] to situations they face, and to work through worries and concerns.

Most times nightmares occur [16] no apparent reason. At other times, they happen when the child’s school loads feel like [17]ning the gauntlet. Events or situations that might feel unsettling – such as moving, attending a new school, the birth of a sibling, or family tensions – might also [18] reflected in unsettling dreams. For those kids that live in a world of their [19], reading scary books or watching scary movies or TV shows just [20] to bedtime can cause nightmares. Parents can’t prevent nightmares, but can help kids get[21] a night’s sleep, by soothing them before bedtime.

Fashion

Without realizing it, the clothes we choose to wear tell other people a lot about us. In this sphere we often judge a book by its [22] more often than anywhere else. [23] example, people that are having [24] expensive attire are thought to have [25] pockets. Our shoes, accessories and jewelry, all tend to create an impression of our social class and personality. Similarly, our choice of clothes also depends [26]our age and who we look [27] up.

On the other [28],_, we do not always have  the chance to choose our clothes. If we work as a nurse, police officer or fire-fighter we have to wear the "same [29]" uniform all the time at work. Last but not [30], our ideas of beauty are revealed by our style of dress.
