Sleeping well is as important as having a good diet and doing physical exercises. When you sleep, your body has a rest. Without such a rest, damage to your body can’t be repaired. As a result, different parts of your body, such as your brain and heart, may not be able to function well.
In 2003, a study about the sleeping habits of young people was carried out. Surprisingly, this study showed that over 70% of young people didn’t have enough sleep. Only 26.8% of the young people in the study said that they had enough sleep. Of course, these young people didn’t have enough sleep because of different reasons. However, one problem seemed to be very common. Over two thirds of the young people said that they were often very busy. On average, they just had about six hours’ sleep a day because they needed to spend a lot of time studying and preparing for their examination.
According to reports, a large number of traffic accident are caused because drivers don’t have enough sleep. Last year, 33% of traffic accidents were due to the fact that the drivers were too tired.
It’s important to make sure that no matter how busy we are, we must leave enough time to sleep if we want to be healthy. Some people may still argue that they can’t afford the time because they have so many important things to do. But don’t you agree that staying healthy is of the greatest importance?

If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington(1876-1947), concluded from other men’s work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.
He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than in summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligence in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.
Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all natures.
Fall is the next best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking.

We may be very pleased with the rapid progress we have made in every field of study. But the way to test a student’s knowledge and ability still remains as poor as it was. We have almost done nothing to improve our examination system.
It is well-known that the examination system we are now using may be a good way to test a student’s memory, but it can tell you nothing about a student’s ability. It does no good to students and teachers.
As soon as a child begins school, he enters a world of examination that will decide his future of job.
In fact a good examination system should train a student to think for himself, but it now does nothing about it. So students are encouraged to remember what is taught. It does not enable them to gain more and more knowledge. The students who come out first in the examination often may not be the best in their studies.
Besides, the examination often force teacher to train students what to do with coming examination from time to time. There must be some simple and better way to test a student’s true ability besides knowledge. And that is what we should do at once.
