In Victorian Britain, thousands of people came to the cities to work in 【4】(factory). Instead 【5】 the green, open countryside, people lived in very small houses 【6】 were very close to each other, with no space for children 【7】(play). Families in those days were quite big. People put their rubbish outside in the street, the street were always full of rubbish. As a result, there were many 【8】(ill).

And life was harder for children in those times. They didn’t always go to school, 【9】 they had to work instead. They worked twelve hours a day in dangerous jobs for very little money. Many 【10】(hurt) in accidents with machines.

How much sleep do we actually need?

It is known that all of us naturally need no less than 8 hours of sleep per night. When we sleep below six hours per 24, we’re at an increased risk of health problems. Some of us think we can make up any of those hours lost during the week on the weekends. Suddenly there is no storage system for sleep in the brain.

Can we train ourselves to need less sleep?

As a study in 1964, a 17- year- old boy named Randy Gardener stayed awake for 264 hours. How many people could do anything close to that without dying?

When you are reading this, you might say you usually get 6 hours of sleep and feel just fine . Sleep experts often compare people without enough sleep to drunk drivers: They don't get behind the wheel thinking .They are probably going to kill someone.

Can we drink coffee instead of sleeping?

Coffee can keep us awake. Remember, too much coffee may throw off our sleep and energy cycles. So avoid caffeine for 4 to 6 hours before bedtime.

Does a sense of purpose connect with sleep quality?

A new research suggests a kind of strong connection between purpose in life and sleep. People who have a great sense of purpose usually have better physical and mental health, which in turn explains their higher quality sleep. Perhaps developing a sense of purpose in life could be as useful at improving sleep as the healthy habits above.

It would be difficult to find one herring (鯡魚) swimming alone in the sea. Herring always swim in groups c【1】schools. Sometimes hundreds of thousands of small, silvery herring swim together, covering the surface of the sea for miles.

In a school of herring, all the fish are about the same size and age. Since n【2】 of the fish is older or wiser than the others, there is no leader, or “teacher”. All the fish is in a school swim in the same d【3】 and at the same speed. When one turns, they all turn. When there is danger, the fish move closer together.

One 【4】 that herring swim in schools is that they are more protected from danger. Herring have no defense weapons (防衛(wèi)武器) to use a【5】 their many enemies in the sea. When they crowded together, the fish inside the group are p【6】 by the bodies of the ones on the outside. A school of close swimming herring may look like a s【7】 , giant fish. Some enemies may be frightened away by the large shape.

As the herring g【8】 larger, the school is attacked by larger, hungry fish. Each time some herring are lost, but many survive. The survivors stay t【9】 in smaller schools or join another school of herring.

Female herring do not lay eggs u【10】they are three or four years old. Each mature fish can lay as many as 40000 eggs. From these eggs come some new schools of herring to replace the disappearing older schools.

In our daily life many people always have negative (消極的) thoughts. Being in a negative space is harmful to our life and study. If you keep them in mind, you will lose hope sooner or later. Let’s drive away some of the most common negative thoughts.

No one cares about me.

Sometimes you say that your family and friends don’t care about you. Maybe you’re being too negative and misunderstand the gestures of love they show you. They don’t even have to be big gestures, but there are many countless little things they do for you. Maybe you just pay no attention to them and take them for granted. Perhaps you think they don’t care about you so you don’t make any effort in your relationships. Start showing people you care, so they can show you back in the same way. And if you don’t have good relationships with the people you know, what’s stopping you from making new friends?

Why is she better off?

Comparing yourself to someone else is never positive. There’s always going to be someone who is younger, prettier, smarter, or richer than you. If you keep admiring what someone else has, then this may cause you to lose the balance in your mind, which will open a whole other negative can of worms. Remember, what they don’t have is your whole package. Be proud of what you have, because if you want to play the comparison game, remember that there are people who are also worse off than you are.

I’ll never reach my goal.

If you think you’re not going to be able to “get there”, think again. There are many people who are worse off and have overcome more difficulty than what you are facing.

Everything will not beyond your reach if you work hard and have a positive attitude.
