3．Giving someone good news is easy，but what about bad news？Are there any good ways to give bad news without making people too upset？The following steps might help：
Say something positive．Try to start or end the conversation with some good news，so that it's not all bad．For example，"You did very well in the interview，but unfortunately we've given the job to somebody else．"
Prepare your listener for the news．Use phrases to introduce what you're going to say，like"Unfortunately，…"，"I'm really sorry，but…"or"I'm afraid I've got some bad news．"This gives the listener time to prepare for what you're going to say．
Try to give a reason．People like to know why things go wrong．Try to explain the decision．If someone doesn't get the job，can you explain why？If you have to cancel an appointment，try to give a reason．
Use a soft tone of voice．If you're giving someone bad news，try to use a soft，calm voice to make your sound kind．Say things to show you understand，like"I'm really sorry．"or"I know this must be disappointing．"

6．One of the easiest and cheapest ways to help your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night，but more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough．According to the World Health Organization，over half the people in the world may be sleep-deprived．The result of this is not just a lot of tired people； in the United States alone，sleepy drivers cause at least 100，000car accidents，and 1，500deaths a year．Problems with sleep can also cause mental （心理的） problems，as well as medical problems such as high blood pressure and heart problems．
American culture values work and often doesn't value sleep．In fact，people who sleep a lot are often called"lazy"．Many famous men say proudly，"I only have time to sleep four or five hours a night．"Students，especially college students，often sleep only a few hours a night．They often say，"I'm used to sleeping only a little．"
But according to experts，sleep is like money．If you sleep only five hours a day，you don't"get used to it"，but instead，build up a"sleep deficit （亏损）"．"It's like a credit card （a card used to buy things or services），"says Dr．James Maas，"You are only borrowing time．You always have to pay it back．"The more hours you don't sleep，the more hours you should sleep to"pay back"the hours on your"sleep credit card"．For example，if you sleep four hours on Monday and then sleep eight hours on Tuesday，on Wednesday you will still have a"sleep deficit"of four hours．This deficit can continue for months or even years．People with a"sleep deficit"are sleep-deprived．Driving and making decisions can be dangerous for these people．
Another research shows people should sleep nine or ten hours every nght．More than half the people in the world may be running a"sleep deficit"．You didn't do your homework last night？Maybe you can tell your teacher that you were working hard on your sleep deficit．
"Don't think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the day．That's a foolish idea which is held by people who have no imagination．You will be able to do more，"said Winston Churchill．
51．How many hours do we need to sleep every day if we want to keep healthy？D

8．‘USA？Britain？Which country is better to study in？'We often hear such discussions．As China opens its door，it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad．They want to learn about the outside world．
It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves．Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs．
But there are problems that should be considered．Language is the first．Students must spend a lot of time learning another language．
Students must also learn to live without parents'care and deal with all kinds of things they haven't had to do before，like looking after themselves．There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally．When they have to take care of themselves，it is hard for students to study well．
Finally，studying abroad brings a heavy burden（负担）to the family．For most Chinese parents，the cost of studying abroad is very high．But is it worth it？
We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China．Liu Xiang is a good example．Once an American teacher invited him there，but he refused．He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher．He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games．So when you wonder which country is better to study in，think again．
