Beauty sleep is a real thing, researches have shown that people who have enough sleep look more attractive(有魅力的) to others.

A few bad nights is enough to make a person look "especially"more ugly, their sleep experiments show.

The researchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment. They were asked to get a good nights sleep for two nights A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night for two nights in a row(接连).

The researchers took make- up free photos of the volunteers .after both two nights’ good sleep and two nights’ bad sleep.

Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge them on attractiveness ,health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them, “How much would you like to make friends with this person in the picture?

The, strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they were sleepy, their attractiveness score. was low The strangers also said they wouldn't want to make friends with the tired students. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-looking face makes people, run away. In other words, people don t want to hang around with people. Who might be rill It meant that strangers wanted to make friends who were attractive and energetic.

Dr Brewer, an. expert at the. University of Liverpool said Judgement of attractiveness. is. Often unconscious, but we, all do it, and we are able to judge on even something small like whether someone looks tired or unhealthy This study shows-how important sleep is to us.”

Lots of kids love video games. In fact, they like them so much that they might hear something like this from mom or dad: “Enough! Stop and find something else to do!”

It can be good advice. Studies show that video games can be good for hand-eye skills, problem-solving(解决问题的) skills, and the mind’s ability(能力). But too much video game playing can cause health problems.

It’s hard to get enough active play and exercise if you’re always inside playing video games. And without enough exercise, kids can become overweight.

Really too much video games playing also can be bad for kids’ friendship and school grades.

But here’s the good news, playing games some of the time can be OK. Just for no more than 1 or 2 hours a week and choose good games.

What’s a good game? That depends on how old you are. Your mom or dad can help choose some which is good for you. If you can choose one to make yourself better and make progress(进步), that’s even better.

As a teenager(青少年), you might challenge(挑战) your mom, dad — or even your grandma — to play with them or try some cartoons. By doing so, you can improve(提高) friendship with them and even make them feel good. But most teenagers dislike to do so. They prefer to play alone or with friends. But to be honesty(坦白说), this really makes a great difference.

There’s a lot of discussion(讨论) these days about video games. Parents and teachers want to know how to help kids to choose good games.
