16．You're lost in the world of dreams and sleep．You roll over，smiling as you come across a swimming pool filled with chocolate．And then，your wonderful dream becomes a nightmare when someone is screaming，"Get up!"It's just what every teenager goes through each morning!
Now，there seems to be one school that finally understands that requiring teens to show up at 9am is not just cruel but also harmful to both the kids and the school．
The Monkseaton High School in North Tyneside，Britain，recently decided to experiment to see if there is any difference in student behavior if they just pushed back the start of their day by one hour，from 9am to 10am．And the results are surprising．
Since carrying out the later start，Monkseaton has seen a 28% drop in truancy，even hardly any lateness，and best of all，higher test scores．One of the reasons is that the teenagers are much happier to have the extra hour of sleep，but there is also a scientific reason behind why they need the extra sleep．
The school's decision to push back the time was based on the research done by Oxford Professor Russell Foster，who pointed out that teenagers and adults have different sleep cycles，explaining why teenagers go to bed late and wake up late．
While adults are wide awake and ready at 8am，teenagers are not fully awake until 10am，sometimes even noon．Teachers may argue that their students perform better in the morning，but in fact，it is because they are in the zone while their students are still sleepy，making the students easier to control．Memory tests prove that the more difficult classes should be in the afternoon when teenagers are most wide awake．
The Monkseaton school officials are encouraged by the results and plan on voting to make it a permanent change．

15．Goedeker's loves to see happy customers，so every year we host a drawing competition in January and July，and one lucky person receives an iPad Mini．Goedeker's customers can enter the competition through many ways，such as sending product or customer reviews．
When I spoke to July's drawing winner，I couldn't believe the encouraging story behind her efforts．Sari Bailey entered the drawing competition in hopes of winning the iPad Mini for her blind granddaughter，Aubrey．Aubrey，soon-to-be 4years old，was born with a rare condition called Septo-Optic Dysplasia．The condition，also known as De Morsier's Syndrome，happens when the optic（视觉的） nerves do not develop fully before the baby is born．Aubrey once had an iPad Mini，given to her by the Gia Foundation，which provides an iPad Mini to the blind once a year．However，it was stolen，and her family did not know how they could replace it．The iPad was extremely important to Aubrey's development，as she uses it for intensive therapy（强化治疗）．Each week，Aubrey works through an hour of physical and speech therapy．
While Aubrey may struggle with her sight，she loves music and plays the piano and sings fairly well for a three-year-old!As one can imagine，the iPad plays a huge role in this．She also finished her first year of school in May．
Sari says，"We are very happy for her progress．We like to have as many tools for learning as possible available to Aubrey，thus，my desire for the winning of the iPad Mini!

10．I like watching butterflies．Sometimes I think I'm the only girl who notices these quiet but beautiful things．But if it hadn't been for a crowded restaurant，I wouldn't have ever noticed Valeri．
Valeri was a new student．She walked to class with her books against her chest and her head down．She talked only when the teacher asked her a question．After a month at our school，she hadn't made any friend．
One day at lunch，most tables being full，I had nowhere to sit．Valeri sat alone，book in hand．I walked over to her，"Is that a good book？"Valeri gave a small nod and went back to reading．"What's it about？"I asked．After seconds of silence，she looked at me，her eyes shining，"Well，it's about a dragon!This boy，Eragon，finds this dragon egg when he goes playing one day．He thinks it's a rock!The egg hatches（孵化）and Eragon hides the dragon from his cousin and uncle until it gets too big．"
Two weeks later，I was sitting in the auditorium（礼堂）enjoying the talent show．Then a shy girl walked on stage．I recognized her immediately．Valeri held a violin in one hand and a bow in the other．She started to play．The notes formed a soft，sweet tune．The auditorium fell completely silent until we realized the music was finished．I smiled to myself．Valeri wasn't just"a quiet girl"．She knew about wonderful books and could play the violin like nothing I'd ever heard．Like a butterfly，she was beautiful and amazing when you looked closely．
