running.

     Up to 65% of children don't get as much sleep as they should do, and this can make them nervous
and slower at school, scientists say.
     So how long should young people sleep each night? The answer is between eight and ten hours. If
you don't get enough sleep at night, you'll have less energy the next day.
     But the scientists say many children have missed out on 4,500 hours of sleep by the time they are
seven 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 younger children at night any more. The traditional "bedtime story"
helps children to relax and fall asleep peacefully. Children with TVs and computers in their bedrooms
were more likely to sleep badly, and to get less than eight 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 (大脑) keeps working while you are asleep. 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. The result? The people who slept worked out the answer more quickly.
This showed that 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 tonight , and you'll be at your best
tomorrow!

     Wang Bing's father began smoking when he was a freshman(大学一年级学生) in college.
His friend passed him his firstcigarette. He has now been smoking for more than 30 years. It's
a classic example of how young people are introduced tocigarettes, except that nowadays smokers
develop their habit at aneven younger age.
     It has become a major concern(担忧) in China that many teenagers begin to smoke. A survey
showed that 22.5% of the middle school students questioned had tried smoking and 15.8% of
them smoked regularly.
     For many teenagers, smoking is a symbol of being an adult, independence, maturity(成熟)
and attractiveness because the images who they love best often smoke on screen.
     The social environment also plays an important role inattracting teenagers to smoking. They
are used to seeing theirelders, especially male family members, smoking at home. Many ofthem
imitate adult behavior and become new smokers.
     To increase the price of cigarettes is an effective way to reducethe number of young smokers,
as teenagers have limited money tospend on them.
     Another way is to educate the teenagers to voluntarily refuse cigarettes. A survey shows that
92.5% of the students know smoking will be bad for their health. If we persuade them in aproper
way, most of them may give up smoking.
     All in all, the society, the government, the school and thefamily should join together to take the
responsibility for ananti-smoking (禁烟) campaign aimed at teenagers, not just to put empty slogans
and warnings on cigarette packs.

     It's cool, it's hot, and everyone is doing it. People talk about it often, and friends tell other friends how
  good they look. Sound like a fashion? It's actually another trend (倾向): "blog". What's a blog? A blog is
 a personal online diary. The word "blogger" means a person who writes diaries online.
     Many of today's teenagers are not afraid to openly discuss everything in their lives. Teens complain
 about parents and homework. They share diaries, post songs from the latest bands and show pictures of

 each other or offer support. But mostly they just write down what they do every day. However, many
 parents are afraid of these young bloggers. Parents see the kids talking about how they got drunk last
 weekend and how they don't like studying. Besides hearing from their friends, teen bloggers also get
 messages from strangers. Most of the time, it's older men asking to meet teenage girls. "These strange men
 are dangerous for my kids." said a mother.
