Have you heard about Leap year? Leap year is a year that has 366 days instead of the usual 365. It normally occurs every four years，always on an even-numbered year．The extra day is added to our shortest month. That is the second month of the year, which in non-leap years has 28 days, two fewer than any other month． 1
We also call Leap year the bissextile year． 2 In our calendar system there is a need for a leap year because the so1ar year (the time it takes the earth to go around the sun once)is actually slightly more than 365 days long. That extra day—Feb 29 every four years—helps correct the difference between our calendar and the solar calendar．
It is said that Leap year was first made part of the calendar by the ancient Roman leader Julius Caesar. His astronomers had calculated the length of the solar year to be 365 days and six hours．So Caesar declared that an extra day be added to the calendar． 3 However，Caesar’s adjustment was not completely accurate because his astronomers’year exceeded the true solar year by eleven minutes and fourteen seconds. By 1582, a difference of ten days had developed between the calendar year and the true solar year. To correct this error，Pope Gregory X III ruled that every fourth year would continue to be a leap year except for century years that could not be divided evenly by 400. By this system，century years such as 1700，1800，and 1900 were not leap years，but the year 2000 was a leap year． 4

下面文章中有4处, 需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。
A. Exercise
B. Early to Bed, Early to Rise
C. Read Challenging Books
D. Take Time to Think Deeply
E. Reducing Television Watching
Your brain needs exercise just like a muscle. If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and increase your ability to focus. Here are 5 simple ways anyone can have a try.__________—— This is a hard sell（强迫推销）. People love vegetating（="doing" nothing like plants） in front of the television, myself included more often than I’d like. The problem is watching television doesn’t use your mental capacity or allow it to recharge. It’s like having the energy taken out of a muscle without the health benefits of exercise. When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead. If you’re too tired, listen to some music. When you’re with your friends or family, leave the tube off and have some communication. All of these things use your mind more than television and allow you to relax.
__________—— Many people like to read popular suspense fiction, but generally these books aren't mentally beneficial. If you want to improve your thinking and writing ability you should read books that make you focus. Reading a classic novel can change your view of the world and will make you think in more precise, elegant English. Don’t be afraid to look up a word if you don’t know it, and don’t be afraid of dense passages. Take your time, re-read when necessary and you’ll soon grow used to the author’s style.
__________—— Nothing makes it harder to concentrate than the lack of sleep. You'll be most energetic if you go to bed early and don’t sleep more than 8 hours. If you stay up late, you’ll wake up tiredly and have trouble focusing. In my experience the early morning hours are the most productive. Waking up early gives you more productive hours and maximizes your mental acuity（敏锐）all day.
__________—— Often our lives get so busy that we become defeated without even realizing it. It becomes difficult to concentrate because disturbing thoughts keep interrupting. Spending some time alone having second thoughts gives you a chance to organize your thoughts and have a better understanding of what's important and what isn’t. The unimportant stuff won’t bother you anymore and your mind will feel less tired.

Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule

3. ____ This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation（实验）. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes (食谱) that can work well with your appetite (食欲) and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
