There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food, taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need.

The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization over half the people in the world may be sleep-deprived. Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure.

How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep? Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas an expert(专家)in sleep. He says, “Sleep is like a credit card(信用卡). When you sleep less. You are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back. The more hours you don’t sleep, the more hours you should sleep to ‘pay back’ the hours on your ‘sleep credit card.’”

For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said. “Don’t think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more.”

We all want others to respect us. None of us wants to be disrespected or seen as a bad person. An equally basic truth is that the only way we can get respect is to earn it. At a certain point in the process of growing up, we r1. that life isn't going to give us something for nothing. What is meaningful is what we earn (赢得) t2. trying and working hard.

Take a minute to think about this: Imagine two people. One person has drifted(漂泊) unhappily through his life, putting little e3. into his work and maybe even at times d4.on others. One morning, the telephone rings and someone says to this person.

"C5.!You have just won a million dollars in the state lottery (彩票)""The other person works hard and eventually earns a million dollars. That person is w6. respected by others and has a strong sense of achievement. Which person would you want to be-the one who won a million dollars o7. the one who earned a million dollars?

Probably you would choose to be the person who worked hard, overcame (克服) difficulties and achieved success. If you relate to that person, your aim may be: "I want to respect m8.and have others respect me. To get this respect, I am going to work hard. At this stage in my life, that means doing well in school—it's clearly a key to s9.."

And if you have made mistakes in the past (many of us have), you should tell yourself. "I can change myself. I am going to learn to work hard so that I can get somewhere and be s10.." You need to believe in the saying, "No pains, no gains." The only way to gain respect is by working hard.
