Jordy sat on the steps of his old row house, eating a cucumber (黄瓜) and watching the rush hour traffic. “I’m gonna tell Mama you took a whole cucumber and ate it all up,” said his sister, Katie. “I did not take a whole one,” answered Jordy. “I had to cut off a rotten   part.” He spit some of the seeds across the little plot of dirt that was their yard. “This cucumber sure is a seedy one”, he complained.

A woman in a red dress got off the bus at the corner. Katie ran to meet her. By the time Mama got to the steps, she had heard all about Jordy eating the cucumber. “You know you’re not supposed to just go help yourself,” Mama scolded. “You know how much food is these days.” Jordy nodded. “But high prices won’t get us this summer,” Mama went on. “We’re going to have a garden.” “Is Papa gonna dig up our front yard?” asked Jordy. “You’re gonna dig it up,” corrected Mama. “Papa’s got enough to do fixing people’s cars and trucks.” Unwillingly, Jordy did the work, and after the vegetables started coming up, Papa sent him out to weed the garden.

One day Jordy noticed a strange plant next to the fence. It didn’t look like a vegetable, but then it didn’t look like a weed either. Jordy thought maybe it was a flower so he left it. Every day Jordy went out to see how much it had grown. Having a favorite plant made the work in the garden seem easier.

One Saturday when Katie was looking at the plant, she suddenly jumped back. “Jordy’s plant is climbing up the fence and it’s got fuzz (绒毛),” she shouted. Papa heard the screaming and came to look. He said, “Looks like the vine (藤蔓) has got some kind of disease. I think you’re gonna have to get rid of it, Jordy.”

We’ve all been there: It’s been a long week at work, so Friday night, you reward yourself by going to bed early and sleeping in. But when you wake up the next morning (or afternoon), your limbs feel like they’re filled with sand. Your brain is still lying down and you even have faint headache. If too little sleep is a problem, then why is extra sleep a terrible solution?

Actually, oversleep makes you throw off your biological clock. You might be crawling out of bed at 11 am, but your cells started using their energy cycle at seven. Oversleep isn’t just going to ruin your Saturday hike. If you’re oversleeping on the regular, you could be putting yourself at risk for diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Harvard’s massive Nurses Health Study found that people who slept 9 to 11 hours a night developed memory problems and were more likely to develop heart disease than people who slept a solid eight. It is estimated that chronic oversleep affects about 4 percent of the population. These are generally people who work odd hours, have an uncomfortable sleep situation, or a sleeping disorder.

Doctors recommend using dark curtains and artificial lights to straighten things out rather than medication or supplements for people who wake up before the suns rise or go to sleep when it’s light out. Plus, if your bed or bedroom is uncomfortable—too hot or cold, messy, or lumpy—your body will spend more time in light sleep. Wanting rest, you’ll sleep longer. So try to avoid it. If everything’s just fine with your sleep zone but you still can’t get under the eight hour mark, you might need to go see a doctor. It could be a symptom of narcolepsy, which makes you sleep in more.

No matter what the causes are, too much sleep is not good for your long term health. Rather than kick the can down the road, try getting some equilibrium(平衡) between your weekend and weekday sleep.

There once was a little village situated in the rich area of New Delhi, Just beyond the village lay a pond, which was a deep dark blue in the middle. Beautiful plants grew all over it. All the children in the village loved the pond. They frequently came to swim and play with water in it. During the summers, the cool water would refresh them from all the dust and heat, and even prevent them from getting immersed (沉溺于) in social networking apps like We Chat or Whats App.“It’s so nice and beautiful,” they would all say.

Then, one day, the villagers began to send the water from the pond into small channels leading to the nearby fields. These channels looked like tiny streams, and they called them irrigation (灌溉) channels, saying that it would help the growth of the plants in their fields to become taller and greener. After some time, the plants did grow taller and stronger. However, the pond was no longer as deep as before; it became shallow.

Sometime later, a factory appeared near the village, letting out a lot of thick black smelly smoke and released (排放) many chemicals into the pond. As these chemicals traveled from the pond through the channels to the fields, many plants died. The pond turned black and produced an awful smell, causing the children to lose their desire to get close to it anymore. They couldn’t even think of splashing water and playing in it as they used to. “It is so dirty.How can we play in it?” they said. Then came the burning hot summer. The pond dried up entirely, without a single drop of water remaining. The beautiful plants surrounding it died too. The once lively village now looked ugly, its beauty lost forever, leaving only memories of what once was.
