    There are many ways to help improveyour 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 youngeryou 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 withsleep 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 besleep-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 problemssuch as high blood pressure (血压).

    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 usuallvseen as "lazy".Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don't have much time to sleep, they onlysleep four or five hours a night.It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you'll do.

    How do we teachthese people to learn the value of sleep?Perhaps they may listen tothe advice of Dr. James Maas. an expert (专家) in sleep. He says, "Sleep is like a credit (信用卡) card. When you sleep less, you are only borrowingtime. You always have to pay it back."

    For those who value work more than sleep,they should listen to what a famous person once said. "Don'tthink you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish (愚蠢的) idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more."

How long would it take you to run 5,000 m? Li Yiben, 80 years old, ran 5,000 m in 28 minutes and 6 seconds(秒). 

Li did it in a race in Huainan, Anhui Province on April 3rd. There were six runners in his group. The other five were three men in their 50s and 60s and two women in their mid-30s. Li was the oldest but he finished third. 

"This is tough. I have never worked so hard," said Li after the race. 

Li served in the military(部队)when he was young. In 1968, he left the military and found a new job. Li had to go over 20 km from home to work. That's when he got interested in running. Li ran to work every two or three days. That made him a great runner. After he left work in 1995, Li spent more time running. 

In 1998, Li ran a 100 km marathon(马拉松赛跑). He ran in the National Masters Athletics Championships(全国大师田径锦标赛)in 1999. One year later, he went to the Asia Masters Athletics Championships in India. In 2001, Li went to Sydney to run in the World Masters Athletics Championships. He won many prizes. 

In the following years, Li kept running in many races. Running plays an important role in his life. "Running makes me feel younger," said Li. 

 阅读下面短文,从所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

I still couldn't get my poems published(出版). It made me feel sad to think I would never be famous. My dream(梦想) broke into pieces and I even wanted to give up although I loved poems.

I rushed out for a drink and met my old friend Standard. He greeted me and introduced his friend Hautboy to me. This new person looked nothing special —a short and fat forty-year-old man.

However, during the talk, I found I couldn't get my eyes off Hautboy. He seemed to enjoy everything we talked, and his laugh had the magic to make people around happy.

"I wish I were as happy as Hautboy," I told Standard after Hautboy left for a moment. "But we are different. Having such happiness is only because he is a common person. How could I, with big dreams, be like him?"

"Do you really think he's common?" Standard asked. I felt a little surprised. What was so special about that short, fat man?

When Hautboy was back again, he invited us to his place.

"If you promise to play the violin for us, we will." said Standard.

Violin! Was he a musician? I felt even more surprised.

Then we went to Hautboy's house. We watched him take out his old violin and play several pieces. The music he played was so beautiful that I was lost in it, and even forgot all my sadness.

Walking on the way back home, I asked Standard who this Hautboy really was.

"He was an amazing musician," said Standard, "He gave concerts from city to city in the past. One day, however, he said he was so tired and planned to do what he really loved. He started to give violin lessons to children. Although few people know him now, he is happier than ever before."

As Standard told me his real name, I couldn't be more surprised, "What? I know him. I cheered for that very name in the theatre when I was a child." At that moment, I felt     ▲    .

The next day, I picked up my pen and continued(继续)writing poems, my lifelong love.
