According to the World Health Organization, over half the people in the world may be

47、sleep-deprived. The result of this is not just a lot of tired people; in the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 car accidents, and 1,500 deaths a year. Problems with sleep can also cause mental （心理的） problems, as well as medical problems such as high blood pressure and heart

48、problems.American culture values work and often doesnt value sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lot are often called “lazy”. Many famous men say proudly, “I only have time to sleep four or five hours a night.” Students, especially college students, often sleep only a few hours a night. They often sa

49、y, “Im used to sleeping only a little.”But according to experts, sleep is like money. If you sleep only five hours a day, you dont “get used to it”, but instead, build up a “sleep deficit （亏损）”. “Its like a credit card （a card used to buy things or services）,” says Dr. James Maas, “You are only borr

50、owing time. You always have to pay it back.” The more hours you dont sleep, the more hours you should sleep to “pay back” the hours on your “sleep credit card”. For example, if you sleep four hours on Monday and then sleep eight hours on Tuesday, on Wednesday you will still have a “sleep deficit” of

51、 four hours. This deficit can continue for months or even years. People with a “sleep deficit” are sleep-deprived. Driving and making decisions can be dangerous for these people.Another research shows people should sleep nine or ten hours every night. More than half the people in the world may be ru

52、nning a “sleep deficit”. You didnt do your homework last night? Maybe you can tell your teacher that you were working hard on your sleep deficit.“Dont think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the day.

56、 much easier, even when shes not at home. Martin made a kind of machineiCPooch. It allows pet owners to video chat with their pets and sends food from other places.2-1-c-n-j-yWhen a dog owner puts the iCPooch app on a phone, he or she can connect to the iCPooch machine at home and start talking. The

57、 owners image(影像) and voice will be on the screen. When the owner pushes a button on the iCPooch app, the machine will give the dog some food that has been stored inside the box.How could Martin come up with the idea? The idea came to the Washington girl when she took a business class last year. Tha
