Experts say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night,but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep.Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late.They will think their children work very hard,but not all parents are happy about this.Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger with his eyes still closed,begging for one more minute to sleep.Like thousands of students “ early birds” in China,he has to get up before six every morning.
A report shows that without a good night’s sleep,students seem to be weaker than they should be.Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another.Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late.Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.
Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits.So some clever students never study late,they are able to work well in class.

【推荐2】Everyone has got two personalities（个性）—the one that is shown to the world and the other is hidden and real. You don’t show your hidden personality when you are awake because you are clear what to do and what not to do, but when you are asleep, your sleep position shows the real you. On a usual night, of course, people change their positions from time to time. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back, you are a very open person. You usually believe people and you are easy to accept new lifestyle or new ideas. You don’t like to ask for help from others. You don’t like to trouble people, either. So you never express your real feeling. You are quite a shy person and you aren’t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are rather a person who is not known well to others. You worry a lot and always easily get upset. You don’t pay attention to your job. You are always stubborn（倔强的）. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curling up（蜷缩） your body, you are probably a very nervous person, but you are very kind and patient. You are shy and don’t usually like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You are easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strength and weakness. You are usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often feel sad. You always say what you think even if it makes people upset.

【推荐3】We can see walls everywhere in the world. But the Great Wall of China is the biggest of all. It is more than 6000 kilometers long and its width is 4—5 meters. When you visit the Great Wall you can’t help wondering how the Chinese people could build such a great wall thousands of years ago. Did people build the wall with modern machines at that time? Of course not. They had to do all the work by hand. It was really very difficult. It took millions of men hundreds of years to build it. The Great Wall has a history of over two thousand years. Qin Shihuang had all the walls joined up. He believed this would keep out the people who hated China and wanted to hurt Chinese. Today the Great Wall has become an interesting place—not only for Chinese people, but also for people from all over the world.

In China, when it comes to traditional clothing, Hanfu and Qipao are the most popular. Hanfu was first created for Han people. Its color, style and even the length are about Chinese culture. Hanfu first appeared in the Shang Dynasty over 3,000 years ago. It was popular for a long time in Chinese history from the Qin Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. At the starting of the Qing Dynasty, however, it lost its popularity. With people turning their interest to traditional culture, Hanfu has been enjoyed more greatly in recent years.

Qipao became popular in the 1920s and remained as the “national clothing” until the 1950s. At first, people made it wide, covering most parts of the body. Yet it was not beautiful and people wanted a more beautiful kind of clothing. So in the 1930s, people made the traditional Qipao tight to show the beauty of a woman’s body. Now, lots of women still like to wear it.

The Chinese tunic suit (中山装) looked simple but good, so it quickly became popular among Chinese men in the mid-20th century. Although other kinds of clothing have taken its place now, leaders of China still wear it when going to important events.

The traditional Chinese lunar calendar(阴历) divides the year into 24 solar terms(节气). Lichun, the first of the 24 solar terms, lifts the curtain(窗帘) of spring. After that everything turns green and is filled with energy. Here are some things you might not know about Lichun.

As a solar term, Lichun entered people’s lives in the Spring and Autumn period. At that time, there were eight solar terms. According to some experts, the 24 solar terms were used for the first time in books during the Western Han Dynasty, when people set Lichun as the Spring Festival.

Every Lichun, people like to wear a swallow made of colorful silk on their chests (胸部). The swallow is a sign of spring and a symbol of success, wealth and happiness.

In China, it is said that the egg can be set upright on the first day of Lichun. It is believed that if someone can make the egg stand on the first day of Lichun, he will have good luck in the future.

In many parts of China, people follow the custom of “biting the spring” on the first day of Lichun. They eat spring pancakes, spring rolls (春卷) and so on.

Good communication skills are keys to success in life and work. To communicate well is to understand and to be understood.

In today’s highly informational and technological (技术的) environment, it has become more important to have good communication skills. Here are some important steps to communicate effectively:

Know what you want to say and why. Understand clearly the purpose of your message. Know to whom you are communicating and why.

How will you say it? We all know that it’s not always what you say, but how you say it, that matters. Begin by making eye contact (接触). You show confidence when you look at others in the eyes when you speak. Second, notice your body language, because it can say so much more than your words. By standing with your arms easily at your side, you tell others that you are open to hearing what they have to say.

Communication is a two-way street. After you have said what you have to say, stop and listen. It’s also necessary for you to learn some listening skills.

Do you often put off doing something that you should be doing? It’s a bad habit called procrastination（拖延症）. Most of the tasks that you procrastinate on aren’t actually difficult to do—you have the skills to complete them—you just don’t want to start them for one reason or another.

2-Minute Rule is a method of dealing with the problem and the goal is to make it easier for you to get, started on the things you should be doing. It includes two parts. Part One comes from David Allen’s book, Getting Things Done. It’s surprising how many things we put off that we could get done in two minutes or less, for example, taking out the litter, cleaning up your desk and sending an email. If a task takes less than two minutes to complete, then follow the rule and do it right now.

Can all of your goals be achieved in less than two minutes? Of course not. But, every goal can be started in 2 minutes or less. And that’s the purpose behind the rule’s second part. Once you start doing something, it’s easier to continue doing it. The most important part of any new habit is getting started—not just the first time, but each time. I love the 2-Minute Rule because it accepts the idea that all good things happen once you get started.

Want to become a better writer? Just write one sentence（2-Minute Rule）, and you’ll be likely to find yourself writing for an hour.

Want to make reading a habit? Just read the first page of a new book（2-Minute Rule）, and before you know it, you’ve read the first ten pages.

Use next 120 seconds to get one thing done. Go!

【推荐3】It's said that the eyes are the windows of our soul. However, you have to look after them properly. Your eyes need everyday attention. Here are some suggestions on how to keep your eyes healthy.

Firstly, you have to pay more attention to your diet. Have more fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, eggs and milk. It's good for your eyes. Besides, a regular（有规律的）amount of Vitamins A and B, should also be taken.

Secondly, you must have a regular and sound sleep. It relaxes the eye muscles（肌肉）and gives them the rest required. Sleep can help the body to repair its tired tissues（组织）. Usually, you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day. Loss of sleep can give you dark circles under the eyes.

Next, it's necessary for you to exercise eyes every day. Blink（眨眼）your eyes at regular periods, which makes the eyeballs watery, and gives them a good wash.

Lastly, you should use your eyes in your right ways. For example, if a small thing goes into your eye and you start rubbing（揉）it, which is wrong. Rubbing is harmful to your eyes. Don't read or write in the sun. Use sunglasses to stop the sunshine from shining directly into your eyes. Too much reading, writing, watching television or working on the computer can also cause eye tiredness, so a good rest is required.

If you always take care of the most beautiful gift, your world will be very colorful.
