March 16 is World Sleep Day. This year’s slogan is “Breathe Easily, Sleep Well”. Its aim is to celebrate the *benefits of good and healthy sleep.

Fangfang, from Liaoning, just became a high school student last September. She gets up at 5:30 a.m. every day and goes to bed at about midnight. Fangfang feels sleepy all the time. “I want to finish all my homework first,” she said.

Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. According to the National Sleep *Foundation in the US, adults need seven to nine hours of sleep every night. For students who are 10 to 17 years old, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours every night.

But many students don’t get enough sleep because of early school start time and heavy homework. About 80 percent of middle school students don’t get enough sleep, the China Youth and Children Research Center reported. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can’t fall asleep quickly. For others,they may even have insomnia, and usually they have to ask the doctors for help.

These sleeping problems greatly *affect people’s life. Some doctors found out that *lack of sleep for teenagers lead to poor grades. Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Also, they often become anxious easily.

Luckily, with good sleep habits, it is easier to fall asleep. Some of these good habits include *avoiding drinks that make people excited late in the day, going to sleep at the same time every night, and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark, quiet, and neither too warm nor too cold.

More tips to get a good night’s sleep:

Exercising during the day. You’d better do sports three hours before going to bed.

Don’t eat big meals before bedtime. Drink a warm glass of milk.

Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem,“ Every grain on the plate comes from hard work ( 誰知盤中餐，粒粒皆辛苦).”But sadly, many of us don’t actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don’t waste food.

A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that the food Chinese people throw every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.

Do we have too much food ? Of course not. According to the UN World Food program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.

The Chinese people are well known for being hospitable ( 好客的 ) and generous ( 慷慨大方 ). Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table.

Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired because she took some leftover  food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and criticized ( 批評 ) the waste of food.

What should we do in our daily life to waste less food ? Here are some tips :

Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you can not eat all the food you ordered ,take the rest of it home.

Don’t be too picky ( 挑剔的 ) about food . Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it.

Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don’t buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit.

Mr. Ma, a famous mental doctor from Beijing once said at an important meeting, “Now many young students can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people around them like their parents and classmates. Parents and teachers should care more about this problem.”

Then Mr. Ma gave some examples. One patient, a middle school student from Xi’an, was doing? badly in his lessons. He thought his teachers and friends often laughed at him, and he became so nervous and worried that one night he left his home without telling his parents. Another student, a 14-year-old school girl form Shanghai, was very afraid of exams. While she was reading the exam paper, she couldn’t think of anything to write.

At the end of the meeting, Mr. Ma offered some good ideas to young people:

I think people should do more things online from home. Why pollute the air by driving your car to the supermarket, when you can order your weekly shopping on the Internet~ You can also book holidays as well.

I try to use public transportation whenever I can. I take the bus to college and walk home. When my mum wants to give me a lift, I always refuse, as I can get there quickly by bus. Also the buses in my town are electric so they are environmentally friendly!

Why not use two wheels? Any motorcycle will use less fuel (燃料)an a car. You don't get caught in traffic jams either. But in my opinion, the best thing is a bicycle. They don't produce any pollution and help you to keep fit at the same time.

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容從每題所給的(A)、(B)、(C)、(D)四個選項中選出最佳答案。

Most children with healthy appetites(食欲) are ready to eat almost anything that is offered to them. A child often likes food unless it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an attractively served meal will often improve a child's appetite. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food and never discuss likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so. If the father says that he hates fat meat or the mother refuses some vegetables in the child's hearing, he may copy this action. Parents should agree to the fact that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthy should be got out of from the meal because of a supposed dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small part and let him come back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he may eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child during meal times, but let him get on with his food; and do not allow him to leave the table at once after a meal, or he will soon learn to eat his food hurriedly so he can hurry back to the toys in his room. On no condition(任何情況下都不) must a child be coaxed(哄騙) or made to eat.

1．A child with a healthy appetite will eat ________ if it is not badly cooked.

[　　]

A．only a little of the food

B．a(chǎn)ll the food

C．some of the food

D．a(chǎn)lmost alt the food

2．________ can make a child like eating more.

[　　]

A．Offering as much as possible

B．Playing with toys

C．The way a meal is well cooked and served

D．The way parents eat

3．Which of the following is a good action before a child during meal times?

[　　]

A．To discuss the food a parent dislikes.

B．To ask a child what food he likes or dislikes.

C．Never to discuss likes or dislikes of food.

D．To talk a lot to the child.

4．If a child is allowed to leave the table at once after a meal, he will ________.

[　　]

Which of the following is a polite action?

A. Playing the guitar late until 12:00 at midnight．
