reduced rates for teachers and their students.
Mr Thach says most schools have enough textbooks.But he says many poor families have few books at home and do not visit school libraries.He learned this by talking with farmers，workers and students.
More than 90 percent of Vietnam’s population can read and write.But academic performance in the schools remains low compared to other Southeast Asian nations.Corruption is a big part of the problem.Vietnamese media often have stories about teachers giving high grades in exchange for money.
Some experts criticize teaching methods that depend heavily on dictation.They say asking
学科王
students to repeat everything a teacher says to the class harms their ability to think for themselves.
Nguyen Quang Thach says he wants people to invest money in books for a better future.To d

ate，almost 1,000 parent libraries have been built in Thai Binh Province.Hundreds of books are in
each one.Several other provinces have copied this model.
For each school，Mr Thach helps build libraries for up to four classes.Other people then follow his example.Parents of school children pay three dollars each for the first year and one dollar in other years.
The head of the An Duc Secondary School，Pham Duc Duong，told reporter Marianne Brown that Mr Thach’s work has improved the quality of education.
“He says students have been doing better in competitions，especially in social science.” Duong Le Nga heads the school youth group.She says that after the libraries were built，students started asking teachers more questions.The students also set up debating teams.She thinks Mr Thach’s example helps students think more creatively—“outside the box”．
The deputy head of the school，Uong Minh Thanh，says many students there will work in factories.But after seeing the influence of the new libraries，he hopes the children will set high goals for themselves.

According to body language expert Robert Phipps，the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type of personality they have.Phipps has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality.
Phipps found that worriers，those who stress the most，tend to sleep in the fetal (胎儿的)
学科王
position.He found that this is the most common bedtime position，with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down.The more we curl up (蜷曲)，the more comfort we are seeking，according to Phipps.
The second most common position is the log.Sleeping with a straight body，with arms at each side，as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace，indicates stubbornness，and these people (the 28 percent who sleep this way) often wake up stiffer than when they went to sleep.
“The longer you sleep like this，the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible，which means you make things harder for yourself，” according to Phipps.
Yearner (向往型) sleepers are next on the list.About 25 percent of people sleep in this style—on their side with arms stretched out in front，looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves.Yearners are typically their own worst critics，always expecting the best results，explained Phipps.These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the day ahead.
学科王Perhaps the most peculiar (奇怪的) of sleep styles is the freefaller position.This sleep style
学科王
makes up 17 percent of the population.They sleep face down with arms stretched out.These
学科王
people，according to Phipps，feel like they have little control over their life.Not only is this the
学科王
strangest of sleep styles，but also the least comfortable，and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.
学科王
In conclusion，Phipps has only one more thing to add：“A good night’s sleep sets you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake.”
