No one can live without sleep. Experts believe that sleep is food and water. Good health needs good sleep. Scientists have found that people who sleep for less than 6 hours and a half at night are more often ill than people sleep for 8 hours.
How hours do you sleep every night? Most students have less than 8 hours of sleep every night. Some teachers complain that a few students feel sleepy or even fall asleep in class. These students can concentrate(集中注意力) on their study.
Why are so many students short (缺少) of sleep? Recently, a reporter did a survey in No. 21 Middle School. The result shows that there are two main about this problem. One is that students have too much homework at night. Some students have to up late to finish their homework till 11:00 p.m. The reason is about the use of Internet. Some students are crazy about playing games on the phones.
Many parents worry about this problem. The Ministry of Education (教育部) has paid more attention this problem and required that students in primary schools shouldat least 10 hours a day, 9 hours for junior high and 8 hours for senior high. Schools are expected to give less homework to students that they can have more time to sleep.
A priest (神父) lived with his small white cat. One day, the cat climbed up a tree and was afraid to come down. The priest called its name and gave it its favourite drink, warm milk, but the cat still didn't come down. So the priest decided to tie rope (栓一根绳子) between his car and the tree. He thought as he drove, the tree would bend down (弯曲) and he could get the cat. He did so. But he drove too far, and the rope broke (断).
The tree went "boing!" and the cat went through the air. The priest couldn't see it. He felt terrible. He walked around and asked people if they'd seen his cat. But nobody had seen it. At last, he said, "God (上帝), I just give this cat to your keeping."
A few days later, he met one of his friends in a shop. He saw cat food in her shopping bag. This woman didn't like cats and everyone knew it, so he asked her in surprise, "Why are you buying cat food?"
She answered, "My little girl always wanted a cat, but I didn't agree. Then a few days ago, she asked again. I told her if God gave her a cat, she could keep it. She went out of the house and said something to the sky. Then suddenly a cat flew out of the blue sky and landed in front of her. "
The priest smiled and said, "How lucky your little girl is!" Then he went on shopping.

One day when Jack was walking in the park, he saw a woman, who lived a few miles away, sitting on a bench(凳子) with a dog beside her. The dog was looking up at the woman.
Jack walked up to the woman and said, "Hello, Sue, how are you? May I sit and talk with you for a while?" "Of course, please sit down," Sue said. Jack sat down next to Sue on the bench, and they talked quietly together. The dog continued to look up at Sue, as if waiting to be fed. "That's a nice dog, isn't he?" Jack said, pointing at the animal. "Yes, he is. He's handsome. He's a bit of a mixture, but that's not a bad thing. He's strong and healthy." "And hungry, "Jack said." He hasn't taken his eyes off you. He thinks you've got some food for him." "That's true, "Sue said." But I haven't." They both laughed and then Jack said, "Does your dog bite(咬人)?" "No, "Sue said, "He's never bitten anyone. He's always gentle and friendly." Hearing this, Jack decided to hold out his hand and touched the animal's head. Suddenly it jumped up and bit him. "Hey!" Jack shouted." You said your dog didn't bite."
Sue replied in surprise, "Yeah, I did. But this is not my dog. My dog's at home."
