Cats increase their regular sleep with occasional cat naps.(打盹). Some experts feel that humans can also get advantages from this habit. Cats nap help to build up energy in the body.

    Tokyo may be one of those places that you love and hate at the same time. In Tokyo, there are always too
many people in the places where I want to go. There are also too many cars. Tokyo drivers often spend a long
time in the busy street, just like drivers in London, Paris and New York.
     Tokyo also has a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk in the street. The worst
time in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is because the nightclubs are closing at that time and everybody
wants to go home then. There are 35,000 nightclubs in Tokyo, and usually none of them is empty at night.
     During the day, most people go to work by train. Six million train tickets are sold every year in Tokyo. At
most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours it is not enough at all. Although
trains are always crowded, they are very good in many ways. They always leave and arrive on time. In London
trains, you may see everybody reading a newspaper. But in Tokyo trains, everybody seems to be sleepy, no
matter whether his journey is long or short. If you stand outside the station for five minutes, there will be three
fire engines(消防车) going past you. They are on the way to one of the fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo
has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now.

Most people work or study from Monday to Friday. The weekend is usually a time of rest. But today's Chinese teenagers can hardly rest during the weekends.
According to a survey, 24% of the Grade 8 students in Beijing have classes at the weekend. Over 40% of the middle school students have less than eight hours’ sleep each night because of study.
And this isn't only in Beijing. Ji Chunying is a Grade 9 student in Guangzhou. The 14-year-old girl has to get up at 6:45 am on Saturday. Then she has a whole day of classes. On Sunday, she goes to extra classes for math and physics.
But Ji doesn't complain. She says her classmates all work very hard.
Finding time to have fun

Zhao Yang, 13, is from Dalian, Liaoning. As a Grade 8 student, Zhao's weekend is less busy. But he still spends Saturday in school. On Sunday, after finishing homework, he plays basketball. "I feel happy because I still have time to do the things I like," he said.
Some students are much luckier. They don't have to go to school on the weekend.
Ding Yi, a Grade 8 student from Laiwu, Shandong, is one of them. And she's a top student.
During the weekend, Ding usually gets up at 8 am. Then she spends some time doing homework. After that she is free to go shopping or watch TV.
Ding said her mother once wanted her to try extra classes. But when they asked Ding's teacher about it, the teacher said it was unnecessary.
"My teacher said I don't need to push myself too much. Learning well at school is enough," Ding said. "I feel pretty lucky."
