Do you know the reason why we feel tired in the middle of a class? Maybe you would say it is because the teacher’s class is boring. However, the real reason is probably that we don’t have enough sleep. Perhaps this is something you have not paid enough attention to or not yet noticed. Here are what sleep researchers have found about how to sleep.
Why do we need sleep? Sleep helps our body heal, grow, and stay healthy. It also gives us energy, so we can be active all day. Doctors and health scientists say: When you close your eyes and need a rest, sleep is just the very best! This is more than advice.
Enough sleep is important to us how much sleep do we need? It is known that all of us naturally need no less than eight 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. Sadly, there is no storage (储存) system for sleep in the brain.
New-born babies sleep most of the time. They can sleep 20-22 hours a day. Children need 10-12 hours of sleep a day. Teenagers need 8-10 hours of sleep a day because they need lots of energy to grow into their adult bodies. Grown-ups usually need 6-8 hours of sleep to keep active.
A new research suggests a kind of strong connection between purpose in life and sleep. People who have a greater 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.
Almost everyone has their dreams while they sleep, but not all of them can tell their dreams clearly when they wake up. Some people talk in their dreams. More surprisingly, some may even get up in their dreams and walk around. This is called “sleepwalking”. Are you a sleepwalker? Or, is there a sleepwalker around you?

John Smith is an exchange student from New York. Here is a letter to his friend in his hometown.
Dear David,
How time flies! It’s been 3 months since I came to China. I’m having a great time on my student exchange program here. So far, I’ve completely got used to the life here and have known a lot about traditional Chinese culture. I’d like to share some with you.
In China, there are many different kinds of traditional art forms, such as paper cutting, Chinese clay art and so on. Among them, the kite interests me most. The first ancient Chinese kite appeared more than 2, 000 years ago. Kites are regarded as the earliest craft（飞行器）. They played an important role in the process of inventing the plane．
Tea culture is important in China. Tea was discovered as a kind of drink by accident about 5, 000 years ago. It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. It didn’t appear in England until around 1660. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. Now tea has become one of the most popular drinks around the world.
Lastly, I’d like to tell you something about one of the traditional Chinese festivals—the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is on the fifteenth day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar（阴历）. Chinese people have been celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries.
If you’d like to know more about traditional Chinese culture, I will talk about it in the next letter.
Yours,
John

The activity of kite-flying is popular with us and has a long history.
Spring is a good time for kite flying. On a sunny day with a good breeze (微风), you’ll see hundreds of colorful kites flying in the sky. They have all kinds of shapes like swallows (燕子) and peaches. Some of the shapes have special meanings. For example, swallows mean good luck and peaches bring you a long life.
The city of Weifang in Shandong is the home of the kite. The city holds an international kite festival in April every year. There are competitions for kite-flying skills and new styles of kites. The most famous activity is the competition for the “Kite King”. Thousands of kite fans from more than 30 countries visit the city to take part in the competitions, or to just enjoy this colorful event.
The largest kite in the world is a big “octopus(章鱼)”. It’s about 1,100 square meters, twice as big as a basketball court. Li Jingyang, a kite fan in Jilin, spent eight months making it in 2008.
The kite was invented by Chinese people over 2,000 years ago. According to historical record, kites were first used by soldiers to send news to their friends. In the Tang Dynasty, flying kites became a popular game played by everyone.
As it was introduced to the West in the 1100s, the kite brought a great influence on Western life.
In 1782, the lightning rod (避雷针) was invented with the help of a kite. Modern aircraft came from kites, too. At the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C., a board reads: “The earliest man-made aircrafts were the kites and missiles (投射武器) of ancient China.”

【推荐3】The Spring Festival Gala( 春节晚会) has become a necessary part of the Spring Festival celebration since 1983. As an important part of traditional Chinese culture, the gala usually starts at 8 on New Year’s Eve and lasts about four hours. But in recent years, some people have thought the gala should be canceled.
Twenty years ago, the gala brought every family much joy. I still can’t forget that I pushed Mom to prepare dumplings early, so she wouldn’t miss the gala. I also remember that Dad and I sat in front of the TV, waiting for the well-known comedians(喜剧演员) to perform on the stage. At that time, everything at the gala was popular. Mom would make dresses which were similar to the performers’ dresses at the gala. And Dad would record all the songs in order to listen to them over and over again.
However, fewer and fewer people watch the gala now. But I still watch it. It creates a chance for my whole family to share what we like. Dad and Mom laugh happily when their favorite comedians perform on the stage, and I can’t help singing along with my favorite singers. I think the gala is not just a show. It is an important tradition for Chinese families.

【推荐1】Wearing uniforms, carrying all kinds of brushes and cleaning products, these professional (专业的) cleaners are ready to take care of your home. But instead of being stereotyped (刻板印象的) middle-aged women, they are all men in their twenties and thirties.
Called Qineco, this all-male (男性) cleaning team offers services in Jiaxing, Zhejiang. Wang Ziqian, 32, set it up in May 2021, when he saw a new possibility in the home-cleaning market while working in the home decoration business.
“The professional whole-space cleaning services were hard to find,” Wang said. “Cleaning is actually a job that needs much physical strength (体力), especially when moving furniture or reaching for high places. So I thought young men might be better fit for it.”
After working as a cleaner himself for some time, Wang designed a seven-day training program for his workers. They learn to use different cleaning tools and skills like removing stickers (贴纸), washing curtains and putting away all kinds of things. They also have to pass a cleaning test before serving real customers.
Starting with five people last year, Qineco now has 17 workers and two branches (分店). Seeing more and more young men join the business, Wang plans to open five more branches and has hope for the future.
“I’m so happy to meet these young guys. They include college graduates and retired soldiers, but all take cleaning as a serious and great job,” Wang said. “Together, we are changing stereotypes about home cleaning. Professionalism and diversification (多样化) are the future.”

Animals are people’s friends. But many wild animals are in danger because the environment that they are living in has changed a lot. For example, their living area has become smaller and smaller because of the development of cities and the serious pollution. They don’t have enough places to live in or enough food to eat. At the same time, men are trying to kill these animals to earn more money or have their meat.
People should realize how serious the situation is and must do something to protect the animals. We should stop the killing and build some nature reserves, so that animals can live happily there. What’s more, we should do something to make our world cleaner.
