听力原文：(Text 10)

Everyone needs sleep so that their bodies can make up the energy used in the day．Growth takes place mainly when we are asleep．Children need more sleep than grown-ups because they are still growing．New-born babies sleep nearly all the time except when they are being fed．Although we are not conscious of anything when we are asleep, sometimes we dream．When we dream we imagine that we are awake．Often strange things seem to be happening to us．Dreams are a mixture of our fears and hopes and what we have done and thought．Sleep and dreams affect our moods and the moods affect our performance throughout the day．Generally, we will feel happier in the day if we sleep well at night．
