When you're in school, the last thing you want to do is to work on weekends. There's homework to do, sports to play, fun to have. But our parents may persuade(劝说) us to find a job to earn money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager, I had to deliver the newspapers to people's homes. Then I got a Saturday job at a supermarket: putting everything in order on the shelves and working as a shopkeeper.

Today in the UK you can work from the age of 13 and many children have part-time jobs. It is almost seen as an adult ceremony. It's an independent experience. Teenagers agreed that it taught them valuable lessons about working and managing money with adults. So that's not a bad thing!

Some research suggests that not working on Saturdays or holidays may be harmful to one's later life. But recent statistics（数据统计）show 20％of the students have given up having part-time jobs in the past three years.

So does this mean British teenagers are now more afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts believe young people feel that going out to work hinders（阻碍） their performance in school, they are now under more pressure(压力) to study hard, get good grades and have a good job in the long run. However, proper part-time jobs are a great way to help young people learn the skills they need in the workplace. In fact, the key is to keep a balance between taking a part-time job and having enough time to study and rest.

Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. A 13-year-old girl named Rachel works in a shop on Saturday. She told the BBC: I like my job because I'm making money and it helps me to talk to people confidently and work with others closely. It seems like a valuable thing to do on a Saturday morning.

Most of us spend a third of our lives sleeping. Scientists have been studying the brain to learn what happens while we sleep. Scientists tell us that there are four stages(阶段)of sleep. During each stage our brain behaves differently, and so does our body. Each stage is marked by changes in the pattern of brain waves, which can be recorded by machines.

In the first stage, we drift off to sleep. Our muscles(肌肉)begin to relax. Our heartbeat and breathing slow down. Body temperature and blood pressure(压力)begin to drop. Stage—two sleep is a time of small, fast brain waves. Our eyes move quickly from side to side as if watching a movie. This is known as rapid eye movement, or REM sleep. During REM sleep, dreaming takes place. In stage three the brain wave becomes slower again.

Within about 45 minutes after falling sleep, we progress into the fourth stage – deep sleep. As this happens, our brain sends out slower but larger brain waves. This is the most restful kind of sleep, but it is also the time when sleepers are most likely to change positions or sleepwalk. After deep sleep we return to stage two. As the hours pass, we repeat the sleep cycle four or five times. Then we wake up.

1.How many stages of sleep do we repeat several times during a night?

A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.

2.When does a person most likely change his positions?

A.When first falling asleep. B.During stage three.

C.During REM sleep. D.During deep sleep.

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.We can dream in all the stages of sleep, especially during REM sleep.

B.It is impossible to record the pattern of our brain waves with machines.

C.Our body, like our brain, behaves differently during each stage of sleep.

D.It takes about 45 minutes to complete the sleep cycle after we fall asleep.
