Have you ever heard the saying“If you want a friend, be one”?
Here is a story about one new teacher making friends with the girls and boys in her class on the first day of school．As the bell rang, the teacher came in smiling at each girl and boy．Then she said in a quiet voice,“Good morning, girls and boys!How happy I am because I have all of you in my class this year．I'd like to know each of you．I am sure we will enjoy working together．I am sure that the more we get together the happier we'll be．”Her voice was so sweet and her looking was so friendly．Everyone believed what she said．
She told the girls and boys her name and wrote it on the blackboard．She told them some of the things she liked to do and she was hoping to do with them during the year．
Then she said to the whole class,“Now you know my name and the things I like．Next I want to know your names and the things you like．Then I will feel that I know you．”
Could you make friends by doing the same as this teacher did?
One way of getting to know girls and boys in our class is to know more about them．It is usual to be friends with those people who have the same interests with you．You can play the same games and go on journeys together．
You may find that some new comers in your class miss their old friends and feel strange and lonely．You can invite them to take a walk or to ride bikes with you．You will find many things in common to talk about．It is one good way to make friends just by talking together in a friendly manner．

How much sleep do we need? The answers are different. Some people need only three hours of sleep a night. Others need ten hours of sleep a night. Most Amexicans sleep for an average of seven to eight hours a night. After age fifty, the average sleep hours go down to 6.5 hours a night.
Most people will have a bad night when they can't fall asleep. About one in three Americans has a problem with sleep. Many of these people cannot fall asleep. The name of this problem is called insomnia(失眠症).
