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．

5．Managing Stress
Many of us experience stress in life，so do the kids．"It's the hardest time of life，"says Kim"Tip"Frank，writer of Battling the Blues，Grades 3-8； The Handbook for Helping Children and Teens With Depression．"Kids need direction and confidence．"Here are some common complaints of overstressed middle schoolers and what parents can do to help．
"I don't have any friends．"
First，tell your child that she'll get through this difficult period．"There will be times when you are alone，"Frank says．"Being alone is better than changing who you are to fit in with the popular crowd．"
Some kids need more clear instruction on how to make friends．Parents can help by having a discussion with their child about what a real friend is．Ask your child what qualities（品质）he wants in a friend．Then you help him find some possible friends．Remind your child that not all friendships work out and talk to him about how to be a good friend．
"My best friend doesn't like me any more．"
It's common for best friends to separate during middle school．When it happens，it's painful and makes your child feel left behind．
"To help your child deal with this problem，first encourage her to make it clear to her friend that she wants to keep the friendship going，"Frank says．Then，remind her that if her friend chooses to end the friendship，it's out of her control．"You can only control one side of the relationship，"he says．
Talk to your child about why friends move on or pull away．Tell your child she will make new friends．It hurts，but it often ends working out for the best for both children．
"I made a mistake！I'm a failure！"
Teachers see a lot of perfectionism in today's kids．These kids get upset if they get a B on a paper．They are often overatressed．
"Perfectionist kids are often driven by parents．"As a parent，see whether you are pushing your child to feel like she can't make a single mistake．Do you talk about top schools every day？Do you make a huge deal out of a grade that isn't an A？"You can ask your child，‘Why do you think you have to get straight A's？"，Frank says．
There's more to life．Parents can offer their children opportunities to have fun．"Model hard work，relaxation，laughter，and joy，"he says．"It's not what you say to kids，it's how you live．"
53．When a boy doesn't have any friends，what should his parents do？B
A．Find a popular crowd for him．
B．Direct him to make some friends．．
C．Encourage him to change himself．
D．Tell him the importance of being alone．
54．What does Frank think of separation between friends in middle school？A
A．It's normal and unavoidable
B．It's painful and really bad for children．
C．It means they don't value their friendship．
D．It means their friendship isn't deep enough．
55．What suggestion does the writer give to the parents of perfectionist children？B
A．Choosing top schools for their children．
B．Doing something enjoyable with their children．
