16．Teenagers are damaging their health by not getting enough sleep because they are distracted（分散）by electronic products in their bedrooms，according to a survey．
UK advice body The Sleep Council said"junk sleep"could rival（比得上）the consumption of unhealthy junk food as a major lifestyle issue for parents of teenage children．It brings no less harm than junk food to one's health．Its survey of 1，000 teenagers aged 12 to 16 found that 30 percent managed just 4 to 7 hours sleep as opposed to（形成对照）the recommended 8 or 9 hours by the experts．Almost a quarter said they fell asleep more than once a week while watching TV，listening to music or using other electronic products．
"This is an extremely worrying situation"，said Dr．Chris Idzikowski of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre．"What we are seeing is the appearance of Junk Sleep-that is sleep which is of neither the length nor quality  that  it should be in order to feed the brain with the rest it needs to perform properly at school．"
Nearly all the teenagers had a phone，music system or TV in their bedroom，with around two-thirds possessing all three．Almost one in five of the teenage boys said the quality of their sleep had been impacted by leaving their TV or computer on．The survey also found that 40 percent of teenagers felt tired each day，with girls aged 15 to 16 doing the worst．However just 11 percent said they were bothered by the lack or quality of sleep．
"I'm surprised that so few teenagers make the link between getting enough good quality sleep and how they feel during the day，"Idzikowski said．"Teenagers need to wake up to the fact to feel well，perform well and look well； they need to do something about their sleep．"

15．Toronto is a big and beautiful city，which has developed from a relative unknown place over the past half century to the centre of culture，trade and communication in Canada．
With its colorful ethnic（种族的）mix，rich history and breathtaking buildings，Toronto offers non-stop adventures to the tourists．To get a sense of how big，various and magical Toronto is，the best place to start is the CN Tower，the tallest free-standing（无支撑物的）building in the world．From this point，visitors can get a bird's-eye view of the city's amazing scenery and unique geography．

8．The notice was posted next to the guests'mailboxes in the apartment building I'd just moved into in Brooklyn，New York．"A Mitzvah for Mrs．Green，"it read．"Sign up to drive Mrs．G in 3B home from her chemotherapy treatments twice a month．"
Since I wasn't a driver，I couldn't add my name，but the word mitzvah stayed in my thoughts after I went upstairs．It's a Hebrew word that means"to do a good deed"．
And according to my grandmother，it also had another meaning．This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she'd noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me．Linda，it's a blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else，but sometimes it's a blessing to let another person do something for you．"
Grandma would be shaking her head at me right now．Several of my friends had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left，but I'd said I could manage．Letting them help would have interfered with my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21．
Snowflakes had been falling past my window for several hours when it came time to leave for class．I put on two sweaters，a coat，a wool hat and boots，making for the bus stop．In this December storm it was a hard journey．As I tied around my neck the blue scarf that Grandma had knitted for me，I could almost hear her voice："Why don't you see if you can find a lift？"
A thousand reasons came into my mind：I don't know，my neighbors； I don't like to disturb others； I feel funny asking for favors．Pride would not let me knock on a door and say，"It's a 10-minute ride by car but a long wait for the bus，and it's a 30-minute bus ride，so could you possibly give me a lift to school？
I labored to the bus stop，reaching it just as a bus went by．
Three weeks later，on the night of my final exam，the snow was falling steadily．I made my way to the bus slop．For an hour，I stretched my neck，praying desperately that a bus would come．Then I gave up．The wind at my back pushed me toward home，and I prayed，"Dear God，how can I get to school？What should I do？
As I pulled Grandma's scarf more tightly around my neck，again I seemed to hear that whisper：Ask someone for a lift!It could be a mitzvah．
That idea had never really made sense to me．And even if I wanted to ask someone for a good deed，which I did not，there wasn't a soul on the street．
But as I pashed the door of my apartment building open，I found myself face to face with awoman at the mailbox．She was wearing a brown coal and had a set of keys in her hand．Obviously she had a car，and just as obviously，she was going out．In that split second，desperation overcame pride，I blurted，"Could you possibly give me alift？I hurriedly explained，"I never ask anybody for a lift，but…"
An odd look crossed the woman's face，and I added，"Oh!I live in 4R．I moved in recently．"
"I know，she said．"I've seen you through the window．"Then，without hesitation，"Of course，I'll give you a lift．Let me get my car key．"
"Your car key？"I repeated．"Isn't that it in your hand？"
She looked down．"No，no，I was just going to get my mail．I'll be right back．"And she disappeared upstairs，ignoring my"Ma'am!Please!I don't mean to put you out!"I was terribly embarrassed．
But when she came back，she spoke so warmly that I stopped feeling uncomfortable．"You know the way better than I，"she said．"Why don't you drive？"
"I can't，"I said．Now I felt uneasy again．
She just laughed and patted me on the hand，saying，"It's not so important，"and then I laughed，too．
"You remind me of my grandmother，"I said．
At that，a slight smile crossed her lips．"Just call me Grandma Alice．My grandchildren do．"
When she dropped me off，I thanked her again and again and stood there waving as she drove away．My final exam was a piece of cake compared with the difficult experience I'd gone through to get to it，and asking Grandma Alice for help had relaxed me so that after class I was able to ask easily，"Is anyone going my way？"It turned out that while I'd been waiting for a bus every night，three fellow students passed my apartment house．"Why didn't you say something before？"they chorused．
Back home as I walked up the stairs．I passed Grandma Alice leaving her neighbor's apartment．"Good night，Mrs．Green．See you tomorrow，"the neighbor was saying．
Mrs．Green，the woman with cancer．"Grandma Alice"was Mrs．Green．
I stood on the stairs，my hand covering my mouth：I had asked a person struggling with cancer to go out in a snowstorm to give me a lift to school．"Oh，Mrs．Green，I stammered，"I didn't realize who you were．Please forgive me．"
I forced my legs to move me up the stairs．In my apartment，I stood still，not taking my coat off．How could I have been so insensitive？In a few seconds，someone tapped on my door．Mrs．Green stood there．
"May I tell you something？"she asked．I nodded slowly，motioning her toward a chair，sinking down onto my couch．"I used to be so strong．"she said．She was crying．"I used to be able to do things for other people．Now everybody keeps doing things for me，giving me things，cooking my meals and taking me to places where I want to go．It's not that I don't appreciate it，but I don't have chances．Tonight before I went out to get my mail，I prayed to God to let me feel like part of the human race again．Then you came along…"

7．Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook by yourself？Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores？What can't you be bothered to do？
A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of the adults are so idle （懒散的）that they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs．
Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health，Britain's largest health center．The results were extremely surprising．
About one in six people questioned said if their remote control was broken，they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up．
More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus．Worryingly，of the 654respondents with children，64% said they were often too tired to play with them．
This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese （very fat） before they start school．
Dr Sarah Dauncey，medical director of Nuffield Health，said，"People need to get fitter，not just for their own reason，but for the reason for their families，friends and evidently （明显地；显然）their pets too．"
"If we don't start to take control of this problem，a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most fundamental tasks．"
And Scotland's largest city，Glasgow，was shamed as the most idle city in the UK，with 75% questioned admitting they do not get enough exercise，followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton，both with 67%．
The results bring serious challenges for the National Health Service，where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year．
