　　COPENHAGEN(Xinhua)—Chilean American author Isabel Allende，famous for her works of magical realism，was awarded Denmark's biggest literature prize at a ceremony in Odense City，central Denmark，on September 30,2012.

　　Allende received the Hans Christian Andersen Literature Award(HCALA)and 86,000 U．S.dollars prize money，from Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik at a gala event at Odense Concert Hall.

　　“I will never be comparable_to Hans Christian Andersen，”Allende said to Danish broadcaster DR News ahead

　　“Fantasy and adventure win over violence and dictatorship(独裁)in all my writing.Light battles the dark and wins in the end，”she added，referring to some of her best works which can be read as a protest against the former dictatorship in Chile.

　　The author of some 18 novels，Allende is best known for her widely popular works“The House of the Spirits”“City of the Beasts”and“Forest of the Pygmies”．

　　Earlier Sunday，Allende participated in a string of cultural activities in Odense，including reading aloud her work，signing autographs(亲笔签名)at the city's central library，and visiting Hans Christian Andersen's childhood home.

　　The HCALA was established by a private committee and presented in collaboration(合作)with Odense authority.Previous winners include Paulo Coelho，who won in 2007 by his works“Fathers，Sons and Grandsons”and“Life：Selected Quotations”，and bestselling children's author J．K.Rowling，who received the prize by her series works“Harry Potter”in 2010.

　　Four Steps to Fall Asleep

　　We live in a 24 hour society with little regard for rest or its well known benefits.__1__ A lack of sleep can lead to poor work performance，greater risk of injury，and overall poor health.Therefore，falling asleep is a skill that we must develop.

　　Here are four steps that will help you through the process of trying to fall asleep：

　　(1)Hide the alarm clock.We all know what it's like to lie in bed and glance at the clock and do the maths：“It's 1：00；I can still get five hours of sleep.”This is not the kind of mental activity that contributes to relaxation.__2__ This will stop it from distracting you when you are trying to sleep.

　　(2)Take care of pressing business.If there is anything that might prevent you from relaxing when you climb into bed，write it down on a piece of paper.Doing this lets you feel as though you have taken nominal steps to address it that night.__3__

　　(3)Follow a single image to sleep.Pick a soothing image—something that brings you peace.It needs to have sufficient detail to keep your attention.__4__ But don't let it be overactive.Your mind's focus should be devoted to the colors，shapes and slow，easy movement of this image.

　　(4)Calm your mind.In order to calm your mind，get ready to fall asleep with the firm belief that whatever might be bothering you will still be there tomorrow，and can be dealt with then.If that thought doesn't bring you peace，you can tell yourself that losing sleep over it does nothing to help the situation；it only serves to hurt you.

　　Keep in mind that trying to fall asleep doesn't begin the moment you climb into bed.__5__

　　A．Work stress and relationship conflicts can contribute to a restless mind.

　　B．A solid night's sleep serves us in almost every aspect of life.

　　C．It can decrease the value of the hours you manage to sleep.

　　D．A comforting belief can pay off as you try to fall asleep.

　　E．So position it so that you can't see the clock face.

　　F．It's OK for your mind to be active in this process.

　　G．You should plan ahead to get a good night's sleep.
