Have you ever {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (stay) up late? If so, you should know that not getting enough sleep can make you tired. Not sleeping enough can also make {#blank#}2{#/blank#} hard to think clearly the next day.

    Scientists who study sleep have known that getting a good night's sleep is of great {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (important). It helps kids to be able {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (do) their best during the day.

A recent study shows that sleep {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (help) improve problem— solving skills and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (creat) thinking abilities. In the study, two groups of students answered {#blank#}7{#/blank#} math problem. The group that slept for eight hours solved the problem {#blank#}8{#/blank#} （correct） more often than the group that did not get enough sleep.

    While you sleep {#blank#}9{#/blank#} night, your brain is busy doing its “homework”. It sorts out（整理） the information {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you get in the day. Getting enough sleep each night can improve your thinking ability. That will surely help you do your best at school or work.

    This is a true story which happened in the States. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (happy) hammering dents(凹痕) into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp(果浆汁) as {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (punish). When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.

  Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to cut the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (wake) up from the operation and saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, “Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck,{#blank#}5{#/blank#} when are my fingers going to grow back?”

The father went home and committed suicide.

Think about this story the next time someone steps on your {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(foot) or you wish to take revenge(报复). Think first {#blank#}7{#/blank#} you lose your patience with someone you love. Trucks can be repaired, but {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(break) bones and hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(great) than revenge.

People make mistakes. We {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (allow) to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will impress us forever.
