    Almost all animals need to sleep to stay healthy. But sleeping can also be dangerous because other animals may hurt those who are sleeping. This leads to many different ways of sleeping that help them stay safe. Some of these ways may surprise you!

    Almost all bats sleep upside down. They hang from a branch of a tree or the ceiling of a cave. Up high, bats are safe from most other animals. If they are in danger, they just fly away.

    A dolphin sleeps with just half its brain at a time. It must stay awake to breathe and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe.

    Some ducks sleep with just half their brains, too. These ducks often sleep in a line. The ducks at both ends help to keep the group safe. They keep one eye open to watch for danger. The ducks in the middle sleep deeply with both eyes closed.

    Seals breathe air, but that doesn't stop some of them from sleeping underwater. They hold their breath and dive deep to sleep for up to twenty minutes at a time. Sleeping deep underwater helps these seals stay safe from animals that hunt them near the surface.

    Horses often sleep standing up. Their legs lock in place so they don't fall over. If a horse is lying down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it is already standing.

    A flamingo can sleep while standing on one leg. The standing leg locks so it stays straight. The other leg remains close to the flamingo's body. Its head rests on its back. A flamingo lives (and sleeps) near many other birds to stay safe.

    Some seabirds can sleep while they fly. These large birds spend most of their lives over the ocean. They are in danger on the water, but they are safe in the air. They fly for many hours without flapping(拍打)their wings. Sometimes they sleep while they are flying.

Can you recognize (辨别) AI-made pictures among real ones? Mark Zuckerberg wears a pink coat and walks in the fashion show. Former US president, Donald Trump, falls over while {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is getting arrested (逮捕). These pictures have {#blank#}2{#/blank#} popular online recently. They have one thing in common—they are fake (假的), but they look real.

AI tools, like Midjourney and DALL-E, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} create such pictures. Simply type in what you want and the picture comes out in a few minutes. People have never been {#blank#}4{#/blank#} worried than today about the fake news.

However, AI tools are not perfect. News medias, including the Washington Post and the Paper gave some {#blank#}5{#/blank#} on recognizing fake pictures.

One way is to look at hands. Human hands are often {#blank#}6{#/blank#} incorrectly by AI. The photos AI uses to learn often show hands in different ways, so it isn't sure what a "hand" {#blank#}7{#/blank#} looks like.

The other way is to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} attention to the details. For example, people in an AI made picture may miss an earring or a part of their glasses. If there {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a text in a picture, the text is usually unreadable. AI is also terrible at dealing with the background. If there's a crowd in the image, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} faces in the corner are usually unclear—or they don't have a face at all!

There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food. Taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But

regardless of (不管) age, some people need to sleep more while for some a few hours is enough.

The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization over half the people in the world may be sleep-deprived. Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure.

Why are so many people sleep-deprived? Part of the reasons may be cultural. In the American culture, people put a higher value on work than on sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lot are usually seen as "lazy". Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don't have much time to sleep. They only sleep four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you'll do.

How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep? Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas, an expert in sleep. He says , "Sleep is like a credit card. When you sleep less. you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back. The more hours you don't sleep, the more hours you should sleep to ‘pay back' the hours on your ‘sleep credit card'."

For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said. "Don't think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more."

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项.

①In today's busy world, research shows that more and more people are feeling "time poor". Time poverty(贫穷)can happen when study, work, or social duties take up too much of a person's time, leaving little or no time for fun or personal interests. It can also happen when people feel like they are running out of time to reach their goals or finish tasks before the deadline(截止日期). Besides, we often say "yes" to any extra work. It could be to help your team or your friends. But by saying "yes" to everything, you are adding another task to an already full plate.

②People who don't have enough time fail to perform well at work and remain stressed. Too much stress can harm mental(心理的)health. Moreover, less quality(优质的)time with friends and families can make a person feel lonelier. So how can you stop being time poor?

③Firstly, manage your time properly. It may seem harmless to stay in bed till noon on weekends, but the time wasted every week can add up quickly if you don't realize it. In order to make better use of your time, you can make careful plans before you actually spend it. Try to find out what things in your life are not that important for now and put them off. In this way, you can stick to your plan and focus better on your work.

④Secondly, make quality time a true value in your life. It's important to focus on how you spend your time with someone or doing something. Train yourself to be more present in your life. That is to say, pay attention to one thing at a time. For example, when you are spending time with your family, be present and enjoy yourself rather than still worry about work.

⑤We are all given the same 24 hours each day. By managing your time properly and valuing quality time, you can make the most of your life and become the real owner of it.
