     Do you know why you sleep? You may think it's because you're tired. Or perhaps you've been told sleep
is good for you. Yet no one knows exactly why or how people sleep.
      Until the early 1950s, most scientists thought the body and brain rested during sleep. Then a scientist
watched people sleep. He noticed that during periods of between 5 and 30 minutes, sleepers' eyes made
rapid movements, as if they were watching something. He called these periods REM (Rapid Eye Movement)
sleep. He called periods when sleeper's eyes did not move non -REM sleep.
     Whenever the scientist woke people during REM sleep, they were having vivid dreams. Measurements
showed that sleepers' pulses (脉搏) went up quickly during REM sleep. Their breathing, heartbeat, and the
blood going to the brain also increased. Far from being a time of rest, sleep is a time when the body is hard
at work. Scientists still don't know the reason for this. Some believe REM sleep makes learning easier.
Babies spend a lot of time on REM sleep. Because of this, some scientists believe that REM sleep helps
the brain grow. Others think REM sleep is a time for the brain to empty the day's garbage.
      One thing all the scientists agree on is that sleep is necessary. Without enough sleep, people make
mistakes. Most car accidents happen during the early morning hours, when people are sleepiest.

     New rules and behaviors standards (行为规范) for middle school students came out in March. Middle
school is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won't only have
high marks. They will also be kids who don't dye (染) their hair, smoke or drink. The following are some
of the new rules.
     To tell the truth, have you ever copied someone else's work on an exam? Don't do it again! That's not
something an honest student should do. If you have played com-puter games for two hours in your room,
don't tell your parents you have done homework.
      Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Bird-Loving Month
in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join! In that way, you can learn more
about animals and how to protect them. When more people work to-gether, it makes it more fun for
everyone.
      Have you ever quarreled with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together
can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others, not only
yourself.
     Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? May-be you'll discover
Earth II someday. Don't look down on new ideas. Everyone's ideas are important. You should welcome
them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.
     Protect yourself. Has anyone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don't let it happen to you.
If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know.
     Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the
Internet aren't for kids, so try to look at Web pages that are good for you. You can use the Web for fun
or homework. Can't you find any good Web sites for children? Here are some:

     Every morning, the newspaper chief editor (主编) holds a meeting with the reporters. They discuss the
main events(事件) of the day. Reporters are then sent to cover the events.
     As soon as the reporters know what to write about, they get down to work. They telephone people and
fix a time for a face-to-face interview with them. Sometimes they do telephone interviews. Checking
information is very important. They go to the newspaper's own library to look up any information that they
need. This is called "doing one's homework".
     At the same time, the picture editor decides which photographs will be used for the next day's paper.
All the people who work on a newspaper must be able to work fast. Reporters have to stop working on one
story and start working at once on the important new one. They must find out the new information as quickly
as possible. Later in the day, everything is put together at the news desk. Reporters return, type their stories
into the computer and hand them to the editor.
     The chief editor decides which will be the most important story on the front page. Sometimes this will
have to be changed if something more important happens late in the day. Other editors read the stories which
the reporters have written and make any necessary changes.
      Finally, there is no more time left for adding new stories, and the time for printing (印刷) the newspaper
has come. This is done on fast-moving printing machines. The newspapers are then delivered (发送) by
truck, plane or rail. Speed is important. People want to buy the latest newspaper, nobody wants to buy
yesterday's.

     How do we know the weather? We learn it on the radio and TV every day. Different countries have
different weather. For example, the weather in Australia is different from that in North China, because
the seasons in Australia are opposite. Its summer is from December to February. But in North China,
it's winter at this time. And its winter is in June, July and August. So when it's spring in North China,
it's autumn in Australia. When you visit the country, you'd better choose the best time.
(     ) 1. people can't learn the weather on TV.
(     ) 2. The weather in all countries is the same.
(     ) 3. It's very hot in February in North China.
(     ) 4. The weather in Australia in December is very hot.
