A grup f 22 f these new plicemen went t wrk last week in Beijing. They g arund the city t see the use f energy in htels, ffice buildings, shpping centers and ther public places. One f their aims is t make sure that these sites have set their air cnditin n cler than 26°C.

“If everyne sets their air cnditin at 26, Beijing will save 400 millin kilwatt-hurs electricity in ne summer. That’s ne-third f all the usage f the city in the seasn,” said a TV advertisement.
Other Chinese cities, like Wuhan in Hubei Prvince and Yangzhu in Jiangsu Prvince, are ging t fllw Beijing’s steps in setting up a similar plice team.
As ne f the fastest develping cuntries, China is using a lt f energy. This has a great effect n the cuntry’s envirnment and limited energy.
Frm 1986 t 2005, the cuntry experienced 20 warm winters cntinuusly. Numbers shw that Chinese cities have t spend billins f yuan slving envirnmental prblems every year.
At the beginning f this mnth, China made its first actin plan t fight pllutin. It aims t reduce energy usage and increase the usage f green energy.

There are many ways t help imprve yur health like eating healthy fd, taking exercise and getting medical help. But the earliest and cheapest way t imprve yur health is just t sleep eight hurs r mre every night. The general sleeping rule is that the yunger yu are, the lnger sleep yu need. But regardless f（不管）age, sme peple need t sleep mre while fr sme a few hurs is enugh.
The prblem with sleep is that mre and mre peple in the wrld are nt sleeping enugh. Accrding t the Wrld Health Organizatin, ver half f the peple in the wrld may be sleep-deprived. Having less sleep nt nly makes peple tired but als causes accidents. In the United States alne, sleep drives cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Als sleep prblems can cause medical prblems such as high bld pressure（血压）.
Why are s many peple sleep-deprived? Part f the reasn may be cultural. In the American culture, peple put a higher value n wrk than n sleep. In fact, peple wh sleep a lt are usually seen as “lazy ”. Als, yu can smetimes hear sme peple say prudly that they dn’t have much time t sleep , and they nly sleep fur r five hurs a day. It seems that the less yu sleep, the mre wrk yu’ll d.
Hw d we teach these peple t learn the value f sleep? Perhaps they may listen t the advice f Dr James Maas, an expert in sleep. He says, “Sleep is like a credit card. When yu sleep less yu are nly brrwing time. Yu always have t pay it back. The mre hurs yu dn’t sleep, the mre hurs yu shuld sleep t ‘pay back’ the hurs n yur ‘sleep credit card’.”
Fr thse wh value wrk mre than sleep, they shuld listen t what a famus persn nce said, “Dn’t think yu will be ding less wrk because yu sleep during the night.That is a flish idea which is held by peple wh have n imaginatin. Yu will be able t d mre.”
