1 . Falling asleep in class is still common among students.
Why do students sometimes fall asleep in class?
A main reason is short of sleep. However, there are also reasons for getting too little sleep. Homework is necessary for most students, one that can take three to four hours every night. And a student who wants to be able to take part in any activity besides homework must stay up late. Club activities, sports, computer-game playing, and TV viewing, for example, all make students have less time for both homework and sleep.
Physical problems are another reason that can have students to fall asleep in class. For example, insomnia (失眠) may keep a student tired during class hours. It is a serious problem that may need medical attention.
The effects (影响) of falling asleep in class can be quite serious. First of all, sleeping in class is not a good way to endear (使……受喜爱) yourself to teachers. Secondly, it is highly possible that other students may make jokes about those who sleep in class. However, the worst effect of sleeping in class is missing important points. In the long run, sleepers may end up with failing classes.
Since students are probably not going to deal with the problem, falling asleep in class will probably go on. It will continue until more students find a way to balance (平衡) their personal and social lives with school and work, while still finding enough time to sleep.

2 . Everyone loves to have a garden. But do you know how to grow a garden? Well, this article will help you with gardening. Remember that gardening needs lots of water, most of it in the form of perspiration (汗水). So get ready to sweat out (流汗) for the beautiful garden.
Decide the place where to grow a garden first. If you has a yard, it is big enough to grow your dream garden, then choose it. A very important point you need to consider is plenty of sunlight. You know that some plants can’t grow without sunlight.
The second thing you should decide is the type of garden. Do you want a vegetable garden, a flower garden or a combination (结合) of both? That is because different plants grow in different weather conditions (状况). For example, some plants need more water while some grow well in dry conditions.
You also need to design your garden. Decide where to grow tomatoes, carrots or flowers. Make a perfect plan to make your garden look more beautiful. It’s also a good idea to cover some green grass on other space of the garden. Then you can not only enjoy the vegetables you grow but also the beautiful flowers. You’d better ask someone who has lots of gardening experience.
