It was just after four oclock. I got quickly into the lift and pressed Button (按钮).The lift started to go up, but very slowly. And then, half way up, it suddenly stopped between two floors. I couldnt understand it. I pressed all the buttons from 1 to 14. I called for help very loudly. But nobody answered.Then suddenly the light went out, and I was alone in the dark.

Ill never be bad again.”Just then, I realized the lift was moving very slowly. On the ground floor it stopped, and the doors opened. A man was standing there. “How long have you been in there? It is good that you pressed the alarm bell. But havent you learned to read at your school?” He pointed at a small piece of paper on the wall beside the lift.

So how long should young people sleep each night? The answer is between eight and ten hours. If you dont get enough sleep at night, youll have less energy the next day. But the scientists say many children have missed out on 4,500 hours of sleep by the time they are seven years old. They say that children miss sleep because they have TVs and computers in their rooms, and busy parents dont read to their younger children at night any more. The traditional “bedtime story” helps children to relax and fall asleep peacefully. Children with TVs and computers in their bedrooms were more likely to sleep badly, and to get less than eight hours sleep. Even losing one hours sleep a night can mean that children do less well at school. German scientists think that your brain (大脑) keeps working while you are asleep. To show that they were right, they gave two groups of people a problem to work out. One group went to sleep, and the other group stayed awake. The result? The people who slept worked out the answer more quickly. This showed that their brains had been trying to find the answer while the people were asleep. So, make sure you get enough sleep tonight, and youll be at your best tonight , and youll be at your best tomorrow!51.What problem do more than a half of students have?A.
