One day Mrs. Wilson went shopping with Tracy and Ben. They went to the supermarket in the new shopping center.
“Why do you buy things here?” Tracy wanted to know. “Because they are cheaper here than at the corner store near our home,” Mrs. Wilson said, “Help me check the prices, please.”
The Wilsons were not rich and Mrs. Wilson was always careful with her money. She looked carefully at the prices of things. She bought lots of things in the supermarket. When they got home, the children said, “We don’t think you saved money by going to the supermarket.”

Up to two thirds of children don't get as much sleep as they should do, and this can make them nervous and slower at school, researchers say.
So how long should young people sleep each night? The answer is between 8 and 10 hours. If you don't get enough sleep at night, you'll have less energy the next day.
But the researchers say many children have missed out on 4，500 hours of sleep by the time they are 7 years old. They say that children miss sleep because they have TVs and computers in their rooms, and busy parents don't read to their young children at night any more. The traditional “bedtime story” helps children relax and fall asleep peacefully. Children with TVs and computers in their bedrooms are more likely to sleep badly, and to get less than 8 hours' sleep.Even losing one hour's sleep a night can mean that children do less well at school.
German scientists think that your brain keeps working while you're sleeping. To show that they were right, they gave two groups of people a problem to work out. One group went to sleep, and the other group stayed awake. What is the result? The people who slept worked out the answer more quickly, suggesting their brains had been trying to find the answer while the people were asleep. So, make sure you get enough sleep tonight, and you'll be at your best tomorrow!
