What's sleepwalking(梦游)？Sleepwalking usually happens in the first few hours of sleep. Not all sleepwalkers walk when they are sleeping. Some just sit up or stand on the bed. Some even get up and walk around for a few minutes or half an hour. Some do things as if they were awake, but in fact they are not!

Sleepwalkers' eyes are open and they usually go back to beds by themselves. But they won't remember it the next morning.

About 15% of kids sleepwalk. Sleepwalking sometimes happens when a person is ill or worried, or doesn't get enough sleep. If sleepwalking happens often, you should see a doctor. If it doesn't, you don't need to worry. Here are some ways to help stop sleepwalking:

   The size and shape（外形）of your ears show your character（性格）more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older, but ears do not change their shapes. They only change in size.
   Reading people's character from their ears is a very old science. In the past people thought that a person's ears with colour was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ears showed if a person was musical or not. Today, too, many people believe that the size and shape of the ears help you know if a person is musical.
   Ears are all different，and each different thing has a meaning. Next time you look at a person, see if his or her ears are large, medium-size, or small. Look at the lobes（耳垂）. Do they stick to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry easily. Ears that are always cold and nearly white colour mean that a person has a nervous（神经质）character.

    We live in the computer age. People use computers to do much of their work. But few people know how to look after them. Remember the following when you use your computer:
    ① Keep your computer in a cool ,dry room. Too much or too little heat is bad for computers. Damp (潮湿) is also bad for them.
    ② Do not let people smoke near your computer. Smoke of all kinds is very bad for many parts of a computer.
    ③ Do not eat or drink when you are near your computer. Pieces of food and a little water in the keyboard are also bad for a computer.

    In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back.
    Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.
    Until now, even the most advanced (先进的) robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged (毁坏). That is because its computer inside simply doesn't know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.
    To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (发动机) and two sensors (传感器) that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine's software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine's shape at any moment.
    The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it's far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better artificial (假的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.
    “It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it's damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.”

    What do you know about penguins(企鹅)? They live in a very cold place. They have a white-and-black body. They are good at swimming but they can't fly.
    That is what most people know about penguins. But do you know that there is a special kind of penguin in the world? These penguins don't live in a cold place. Their bodies are not white-and-black, either.
    This kind of penguin is called blue penguins. They live in Australia and New Zealand. The two countries are in the south of the earth(地球), and they are warm all year around. As you can see from the name, blue penguins have a blue-and-white body. Their heads are blue, too.
    Blue penguins are the smallest kind of penguin in the world. They are just about 43cm tall and weigh(重) about 1kg. They live near the sea and catch(抓住) small fish in the sea for food.
    Blue penguins are very cute. More than 500 thousand visitors go to Australia to see these lovely blue penguins every year.

Life in 2060

Let us suppose the life in A. D. 2060. It is fifty years later. Of course, things have changed and life is very different. Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air- conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and old. What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven't yet started to take on heir(继承) supply of energy directly like electrical current or nuclear power.

But many foods now come in pill forms, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants. Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet's surface has to be filled. The deserts irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good. Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then. Such would be our life in 2060.

"Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell."

This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person who lived in Rome in AD 53 wrote it.

We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.

But have all these developments really improved the quality of our lives?

Picture this: You're rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, and the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?

Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have no telephones, no cars, not even any electricity(电) often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simple lives.

Our family in the UK went "back in time" to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10 and Thomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.

The grandmother, Lyn, said, "It was hard physically, but not mentally." She believed life was less materialistic(物质的). "The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes," she said. The boys said they fought less. Probably, they said, because there was less to fight over, such as their computer. Also Lyn changed from being a "fashionable, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things."

Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!

Don't be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day.

Don't check your emails every day.

Don't reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets boring.

Make sure you spend some time talking to your family. Set aside one evening a week when you don't turn on the television. Play cards and chat instead.

Get a low technology hobby. Every day, do something in the old way, such as walking to have a face-to-face meeting instead of using the email or telephone.

Don't worry too much about life—laugh more.
