During the summer holiday, some students might have been busy with traveling, summer camps and all kinds of courses, but a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to taste the hardship of life outside school.

Twelve students in a big city sold vegetables at a local market together. Within 12 days, they made more than 1,500 yuan. Among them, the oldest is 21 years old, while the youngest is just 10. They are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from rural areas. "Compared to traveling, such social practice connects us and makes us learn how tough our parents are," said Dalin, 18, to the City Morning Post. Dalin, a senior high graduate, and her 12-year old brother Xiaolin came up with the idea.

They learned to work hard to sell their veggies. Every morning they had to wake up at 3 o'clock. Some of them went to the farmer's market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to the local market to take up a temporary stall (临时摊位). To lower the cost, they learned to bargain (讲价) with the sellers. At about 16:30, they began to sell vegetables. They peddled (吆喝) loudly to attract (吸引) customers. After several days, they got some experience, too. For example, it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. When the vegetables are too heavy, they should give customers an extra plastic bag.

When they finally packed up and went home, they had a small meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings. "We are tired," said Dalin, "but we gained a lot."

Five Ideas for Better Sleep

Most people need about eight hours of sleep each night. 65.但很多人睡眠有问题.If we don't have enough sleeping time, it will be bad for our work and study. And it’s easier for us to get sick or even become heavier. How can we get the sleep we need? Here are some ideas:

Do exercise during the day.

You’ve probably noticed how much running around little kids do and how well they sleep. Physical activity can lower stress and help people feel more relaxed. 66.Don’t do sports before bedtime because exercise can wake you up.

Keep the bedroom for sleeping only.

It’s a bad habit for you to use your bedroom as a place to eat, watch TV, read, talk on the phone, or discuss important matters with your family members. 67.Break that habit to get better sleep.

Say goodnight to electronic products(电子产品).

They will make a person wake up at night. At least turn off electronic products an hour or more before lights out.68. You’d better make your bedroom a place without any electronic products.

Go to bed and get up at a regular (有规律的) time.

69每天晚上在同一时间去睡觉对睡眠有好处。Creating a set bedtime routine(常 规) can make you feel more relaxed. And you can relax by reading, listening to music or spending time with a pet.
