You may know about “junk food” like hamburgers. But do you know about “junk sleep” ?

A British survey found that electronic products(电子产品) in teenagers' bedrooms are affecting(影响) their sleep.

The survey was among(在……之间) 1,000 British children between 12 and 16. It found that 30% of them got just 4 to 7 hours of sleep every day. But doctors say they need 8 to 9 hours.

Almost 25% of the kids said they fell asleep more than once a week while watching TV, listening to music or using other electronic products.

“This is very worrying,” said Dr.Chris Idzikowski, a British expert. “We call it ‘junk sleep’. It means you don't get enough sleep and the quality(质量) of the sleep is bad, too. If you don't get a good rest, you won't perform well in school the next day.”

The survey found that 40% of the kids felt tired each day, with girls between 13 and 16 feeling the worst. Nearly all the teenagers have a phone, an MP4 or a TV in their bedrooms. And many of them have all three.

Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports activities.Of course,there have always been people who have looked for adventure— those who have climbed the highest mountains,explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans.Now,however,there are people who seek(寻找)a risky activity,which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.

Bungee jumping is a good example of such an activity.You jump from a high place 200 metres above the ground with an elastic(有弹力的)rope tied to your feet.You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground.It__is__reported__that__two__million__people__around__the__world__have__now__tried__bungee__jumping.
