She told me yes, please play but she was going to{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (weigh)soon. The weighing{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (take) about three minutes. My{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (sleep) beauty slept as I played and my other listener told me{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (repeated) how much she loved it and that I was just wonderful.

    I've been a volunteer at Radio Lollipop since May. It is one of the best experiences that I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(have) in the last few years.

    Radio Lollipop is an international charity organization {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(found) in 1979 to provide care, comfort, games and entertainment for children in hospital. The service is provided{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(entire) by volunteers who have been specially selected and trained to make a child's stay in hospital more interesting and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (little) frightened

    I help out regularly {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Monday evenings after work at the Royal Hospital. My task is to deliver a smile to the children at the wards (病房){#blank#}6{#/blank#}might be there for a few days or even a couple of months.{#blank#}7{#/blank#}is hard to find children on Monday, as the cinema at the hospital is open on that day. Most of them tend {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(be) there.

    I am thankful for this opportunity to help children at the hospital and make their stays more pleasant. The experience also helps me deal with the {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(difficulty) and challenges that I've been faced with in my own life. I am now more positive in helping others and realize {#blank#}10{#/blank#} everyone goes through some pain and suffers from time to time.

    It is reported that many middle school students are just not getting enough sleep, especially during the school week. The problem seems to get {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (bad) as they get older. Year 7 students sleep 8.4 hours in a school night, and Year 9 students only 6.9 hours.

    It's also reported that not getting enough sleep can cause {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (problem) in a student's life. Many students fall {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (sleep) in school or while doing their homework, so it is not {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (surprise) that they get lower grades than those who get enough sleep. Scientists suggest nine hours a night for middle school students. Of the students who feel {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (happy) and nervous, 73% don't get enough sleep at night.

    Why aren't students getting enough sleep? Many students have one of the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (follow) things, like telephone, television, or computer in their bedrooms. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (use) them on a school night not only takes their time away from homework, but also makes {#blank#}8{#/blank#} difficult for them to sleep. As a result, many students can't sleep before 11 p. m., yet they must get up early {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (go) to school.

    Scientists also suggest students should not do exciting activities for an hour {#blank#}10{#/blank#} bedtime.
