阅读理解

    Did you sleep the day away on March 21? Well, you should have done that because it was World Sleeping Day. This is the one day of the year when people around the world care about their sleep and ask themselves a lot of questions about sleep.

    Why do we need sleep? Nobody as yet can give a correct answer to this question. However, tests have shown that lack of sleep over about four weeks leads to a strong drop in body temperature, great weight loss and finally sickness.

    Different people need different amounts of sleep. Eight hours a night is considered the average amount of sleep. For teenagers the least number of sleeping hours advised by doctors are ten hours for primary school students, nine for junior highs and eight for senior highs.

    Some people seem to get along just fine with very little sleep at night. Leading American scientist Thomas Edison said that sleep was a waste of time. He did, however, take naps during the day. On the other hand, Albert Einstein, another great scientist, said he needed at least ten hours' sleep a night.

    Here are some of the most useful suggestions, for a good night's sleep.

   Go to bed regularly.
   Use your bed only to sleep
.  Don't exercise in the evening.
   Keep the bedroom dark and quiet.
   Drink a glass of milk before sleep.

With the development of society, people's needs are becoming increasingly different and we have more expectations for the future. What do you expect to see in 2024? Let's have a look. 

New space missions (任务)

In May, the Chang'e-6 is going to land on the far side of the moon and take some soil (土壤) back. It will be the first time for Chinese astronauts to do this. This year, China is also going to send two Shenzhou spacecrafts to space.

Macao

December 20th, 2024 will be the 25th anniversary (纪念日) of Macao's return to China. During the past 25 years, Macao has made many achievements in economy (经济), culture and technology. Macao is building a bright future.

Summer in Paris

The 33rd Olympic Games is going to be held in Paris. It will start on July 26th and end on August 11th. There will be four new events—breaking (霹雳舞), surfing, sport skateboarding. We expect the players in the new events to bring us new feelings.

A new adventure

Do you still remember the movie Nezha? It was first shown on July 26th, 2019. Good news for you! Nezha is coming back soon. In the new film Nezha Ⅱ, that brave boy is going to get himself a body which is made from lotus roots (宝莲). Are you ready to watch it?

My dad bought me a new Jeep when I was 17, but the real gift was what he  taught me about life through this car. Every month, on the first day, he asked me  to pay him $150 if I wanted to continue driving my Jeep. If I didn't pay, I  couldn't drive my car〔or "his car", as he often reminded me, since he owned the title (所有权). My dad was (and still is) a successful businessman, who makes a very good living. To a 17-year-old student who only had a part-time weekend job, $150 was more  than  I  usually  made  every  month.  I  had  to  work  harder.  Although I was unhappy about my father's request, I always made sure to give him $150 on the first of each month, and did so for two years.

The day I graduated from high school, my dad pulled me into his office at our house for a talk. "Kevin," he gave me a white box and said, "here is your graduation present. To be honest, this is actually a present you gave yourself." I opened the box carefully, and almost started crying when I realized he just gave me $3,600! It was 24 car payments that he had saved for the last two years. Every payment I gave him went straight into this box. By requiring me to pay him every month, he was teaching me how to save, how to use my money and how to be responsible (有责任心的). My dad is and will forever be the best man I have ever known.

Four years later he gave me the title to the Jeep, as my college graduation present.
