　　(1)The British summer is extremely beautiful．Trees, flowers, birds and butterflies make the whole country like a big garden．However, many British people have noticed that butterflies have been gradually disappearing from this picturesque scenery during the past several years．What has happened to them?

　　(2)Butterfly Conservation, a charity in the UK, is running a survey to help answer this question．The result is more serious than people expected．According to the survey, among 59 butterfly species found in Britain, more than three quarters of them are suffering a declining population, including the most popular ones．What's more, half of all butterfly species are in the danger of dying out．Some common species such as the small Tortoiseshell butterfly and the Wall butterfly are dropping dramatically．The latter cannot even be seen in many parts of central and southern England．The Blue butterfly was commonly seen in the south．However, it has started colonizing(迁徙至)Edinburgh in the past few years．

　　(3)The numbers of butterflies have dropped to a record low in the past three years largely because the summer in the UK is getting cooler and their habitat is also worsening．Fortunately Britain is experiencing a long hot summer this year compared to the last few summers．Conservationists believe the warm weather will bring some benefit to the butterflies．

　　(4)Sir David Attenborough, president of Butterfly Conservation, said：“Large quantities of butterflies tell us that all is well with nature．When they decline it's a warning that other wildlife will be soon ________．”

Celebrating sleep

　　World Sleep Day, observed on 21 March, was created to bring attention to the growing number of sleep problems worldwide．Sleep is a natural part of human life, but many people in the modern world ignore its importance．As a result, sleep problems are increasingly common．

　　In 2002, scientists at the University of Athens in Greece conducted a survey of over 35,000 people in 10 countries around the world, including China, Belgium and South Africa．Of the people that responded to the survey, 24 percent said that they did not sleep well, and based on their responses, 31.6 percent were diagnosed(诊断)with insomnia(失眠)and another 17.5 percent were diagnosed with borderline insomnia．In addition, 30.7 percent of survey respondents reported visiting a doctor for help with sleep problems and 11.6 percent said that they felt very sleepy during the day．

　　Overall, the survey found that ninny people suffer the effects of poor quality sleep, some examples of which are being unable to fall asleep and waking up in the middle of the night．The main factors causing these problems are pressure from school or work and a fast pace of life, but noise pollution and light pollution also interfere with sleep and contribute to poor quality sleep．The survey's findings are particularly troubling because large numbers of people were found to have difficulty sleeping at night．The short-term effects of this are tiredness and trouble concentrating．If this happens for a long time, the risk of putting on weight and having a heart attack may increase．

　　There are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep．First, you should have regular sleep habits．Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day．You also need to make your bedroom a cool, dark, quiet place to sleep so that heat, light and noise do not disturb you．At night, you should also avoid things that contain caffeine, such as chocolate, coffee, tea and many soft drinks, as caffeine may keep you from sleeping．

　　Getting a good night's sleep is important for everyone．By following the advice above, you can rest better at night and work better during the day．
