Sometimes it may seem that what you are learning at school will be of no use in the future. It may seem that you’re wasting your life away. But you will be surprised to find how much of what you learnt at school is helpful to you one day. Three people were asked what they found useful at school, and their thoughts are shared below.

When I used to ask my teacher how to spell something, she often said. I don’t know. Then she would take out the dictionary and look it up. She was not ashamed to say that she didn’t know the answer. I learnt two things. You don’t have to know______; and if you don’t know how to spell something, just get the dictionary out. Both are very useful lessons!

In school, you also learn to deal with life in general. Little mistakes can seem to be very serious. Wear the wrong clothes and it seems that everyone is laughing at you. Get too close to a boy too fast and everyone talks about you. You want to go into a hole and die! But the truth is that life goes on. You might feel that what you did "wrong" will never ever be forgotten. However, if you can be brave and keep on, you will find that whatever happened will pass and you will start to enjoy life again.

We bad a class called Guidance and in it we learnt about making good decisions in life. I found it pretty boring and didn't pay much attention. One day the teacher made us guess which appliance(家电)we should buy first once we had our own homes. The answer was a fridge. I learnt that it was true once I had my own place. The first day I bought some chicken meat. By dinner time it smelled and I couldn't even eat it! My housemate and I started saving to buy a fridge right away.

More sleep can help improve athletes’ performance

If you’re an athlete in training, you may need more sleep.

“Just as athletes need more energy when they’re in training, they need more sleep, too.” said David Geier, a scientist from Charleston, South Carolina. “You’re pushing your body in practice, so you need more time to recover (恢复).”

Athletes in training should sleep about an hour more than usual. “You can go to sleep earlier, or take an afternoon nap (午睡),” Ceier said, “Not getting enough sleep not only makes you feel tired but also has a big influence on what’s happening inside your body.

Felicia Stoler, a sports expert in New Jersey, agrees. “A good sleep is the time when your body repairs itself,” she said. “If we don’t get enough sleep, we won’t perform well.”

Many researches also support their opinions. Experts spent several months researching the basketball team of Stanford University. During the period, the players added almost 2 hours to their usual sleeping time every night. As a result, the players increased their speeds by 5%. And they felt happier. Other researches have shown the similar results from football-players and other athletes.
