In America, people often invite friends for a meal, a party (such as dancing party, housewarming party, birthday party, wedding party, New Year’s party, and so on )or just coffee. They often invite others face to face or by making phone calls, sometimes they send messages or E-mails.

When they make an invitation, they often say like this, "Would you like to come over for dinner this Saturday?" "We are having a party on Friday, can you come?" To answer an invitation, they say "Sure, I’d love to. Thank you" to accept, or "Sorry" and give a reason to turn it down. Anyway, they must reply an invitation in a polite(礼貌的) way.

Sometimes what people say is like an invitation but they are not real invitations. For example, "Please come over for a drink sometime." "Let’s get together for lunch soon."

Up to two thirds of children don't get as much sleep as they should do, and this can make them nervous and slower at school, researchers say.

So how long should young people sleep each night? The answer is between 8 and 10 hours. If you don't get enough sleep at night, you'll have less energy the next day.

But the researchers say many children have missed out on 4,500 hours of sleep by the time they are 7 years old. They say that children miss sleep because they have TVs and computers in their rooms, and busy parents don't read to their young children at night any more. The traditional “bedtime story” helps children relax and fall asleep peacefully. Children with TVs and computers in their bedrooms are more likely to sleep badly, and to get less than 8 hours' sleep.Even losing one hour's sleep a night can mean that children do less well at school.

German scientists think that your brain keeps working while you're sleeping. To show that they were right, they gave two groups of people a problem to work out. One group went to sleep, and the other group stayed awake. What is the result? The people who slept worked out the answer more quickly, suggesting their brains had been trying to find the answer while the people were asleep. So, make sure you get enough sleep tonight, and you'll be at your best tomorrow!

Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12,a white gardenia(栀子花)was sent to my house. No card came with it.Calls to the flower shops were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender's name and was just very pleased with the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.

But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be, Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged this imagining. She'd ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man who I looked after when he was ill. As a girl, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy.

One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt very sad and didn't want to go to the coming graduation dance at all. And I didn't care whether I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia-lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery.

My mother died ten days after l was married. I was22. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.
