The Chinese Medical Doctor Association asked 8,200 people in China about their sleep. More than 36.3 percent of them said they often sleep badly. The study also finds that many students have only 5 hours of sleep a day. According to the US National Sleep Foundation, teenagers need 8.5 to 9 hours of sleep every night. What cuts into their sleeping time? Homework. Also, school starts early in the morning. But bad sleeping habits also play a role. Do you like to have a look at your mobile phone before going to bed? The survey finds that 60 percent of people check their phones before they sleep. They read news, check their WeChat (微信) and micro blog(博客) messages, or chat with QQ friends. It’s important for us to get enough sleep. If we can't get enough sleep, we'll feel sleepy and think slowly. And sleepy kids are often unhappy, says a study by the US National Sleep Foundation. 103 Dates(枣) 70 Mashed potatoes 56 Boiled potatoes[来源:学科网ZXXK] 52 Orange juice 49 Chocolate bar 30 Whole milk We can’t change our school time.

But she was in a very serious condition. The doctor told the parents there was very little hope. They kept the baby girl in the ICU(重症室). Karen was so sad. She decided to say goodbye to the baby. Michael, however, kept asking his parents to let him see his sister. “I want to sing to her,” he would say. Finally Karen decided to take Michael to his sister. This might be the last time he saw her alive. Michael looked at his baby sister. After a moment, he began to sing. In the lovely voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sang: “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray.” Suddenly the baby girl seemed to be better.

Whoever he met, he would like to show off(炫耀) how popular he was at school. 　One day, his grandpa said to him, “Mario, I know that you don’t have as many friends as you think. Many of them are not true to you.” Mario thought maybe his grandpa was right. However, he wasn’t sure how he could test whether his schoolmates were real friends or not, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need. It’s in my room. Wait a minute.” The old man left, soon returning as if(好像) carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible, it will be hard for you to sit on it. However, if you manage to sit on it, you can use the chair’s magic power（力量） to tell who your real friends are.” 　Mario took the strange invisible chair to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move. You’re about to see something amazing，” said Mario. Then he tried sitting on the chair. Having difficulty seeing it, he missed and fell to the ground. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. “Wait, wait,” said Mario, making another try. But again he missed the seat. 　　Mario didn’t give up. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair. Finally, he did it. This time he felt himself in mid-air. 　Then he experienced the magic that his grandpa had been talking about. Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas and Diana holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall. But some schoolmates whom he had regarded as friends had done nothing but made fun of him. Mario was quite thankful to his grandpa, who helped him test who his true friends were. 52.

Before he left, he said to his son: “If anyone asks for me, tell them that your father is out, and will be back in a week. ” “OK, Dad,” said his son. But Mr. Brown was afraid his son couldn’t remember this, so he wrote the words down on a piece of paper. His son put the paper into his pocket. Four days passed, but no one came to see Mr. Brown. The boy thought no one would come, so he burnt the piece of paper that evening. The next afternoon, a man knocked at the door. “Where is your father?” he asked. The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of paper. He could not find it.

We arrived at the railway station at seven fifteen in the morning. We got to Yichang so fast by train. We saw some beautiful farms and rivers along the way. First we visited the science museum there and it was really interesting. At the museum, I learned a lot about robots. I didn’t know they could play chess with us. It was so cool! Then the guide taught us how to make a model robot. I took a lot of great photos, too. After that, I went to the gift shop and bought some lovely gifts for my parents. They weren’t expensive. All in all, I felt happy and tired that day.
