14-year-old Brooke Eriekson likes to sleep．  1 on weekends．she wants to sleep late(睡懒觉)．But Brooke's mom thinks that Brooke should get up at，the same time every day,So she'll get used to(习惯于)getting up early．

    Both(两个)Brooke and her mom are right．Sleeping late in the moming makes it more difficult to sleep at night．  2  Then it gets more difficult to get up the next morning．Getting up and going to bed at the same times every day helps the body to get enough rest(足够的休息)．

    3  They need 8 to 9 hours of sleep each night，rbut many of them can only get 6 to 7 hours of sleep on school nights．If someone doesn't have enough sleep for a long time，he may feel tired and not happy，and be easier to get ill．Being tired makes it more difficult to remember things，to do well in school and to do well in sports and other activities．

    When I was a child，I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and go to the city．We lived on a farm，and especially in winter，we were quite out off from the outside world．As soon as I left school，I packed my bags and moved to the city．However，I soon discovered that my life has its disadvantages，too．

    One big disadvantage is money．It costs so much to go out，not to mention basics like food and housing．Another disadvantage is pollution．①空气是如此的脏以至于我害怕出去。 Then there is the problem of traveling round．Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams．One choice is to go by bike，but that can be dangerous

    Of course there are advantages．First，there is so much to do in the city．And there are wonderful jobs and more chances of moving to a more important job or position．Finally，if you like shopping，the kind of goods is very surprising．②What's more，there are many shops that are not far from your home．

    Is life better in the city then? Perhaps it is，when you are in your teens or twenties．However，as you get older，and especially if you have small children，the peace of the countryside may be a better choice．I certainly hope to move back there soon．
