Though times have changed, falling asleep in class is still a common occurrence(常事)among teenagers.
Why do students sometimes fall asleep in class?An obvious reason is lack of sleep. However, there are also causes for getting too little sleep. Homework is a daily occurrence for most students, one that can take three to four hours per night. A teenager who wants to be able to take part in any activity besides homework must stay up late to fit everything in. Club activities, sports, computer-game playing, and TV viewing, for example, all contribute to(促成)teens having less time for both homework and sleep. Sometimes teens lack sleep because of after-school jobs that are taken on to earn extra money for college, family expenses, or simply for clothes.
Physical problems are another factor that can cause students to fall asleep in class. For example, insomnia, which may keep a student up at night, causing exhaustion(疲惫不堪)during class hours, is a serious problem that may require medical attention. Medical evidence also supports the idea that each person has a body clock that helps to decide his or her sleep pattern. Unluckily, these body clocks do not always work according to school timetables.
The effects of falling asleep in class can be quite serious. First of all, sleeping in class is not a good way to endear(使受喜爱)yourself to teachers. In addition, it is highly possible that other students may make jokes about those who sleep in class. However, the most harmful effect of sleeping in class is missing out on important points. In the long run, sleepers may end up failing classes.
　　Since teens are probably not going to deal with the problem, falling asleep in class will probably remain an all-too-common occurrence. It will continue until more teens find a way to balance their personal and social lives with school and work, while still finding enough time to sleep.

例题2

Starting a book club is easy—all you need is to love reading. Here’s how to get yours off to a flying start.
When you set up your book club, the first thing is to get members for your club. They could be friends, family, or those you know through various activities, but they should all love to read. A small group of seven to ten people is usually an ideal size for a book club. Too many make discussions difficult.
Once you have a group, agree on how often you want to meet—usually clubs meet monthly. Pick a date and stick with it. That way, members can easily plan for it. Send out emails a week before the meeting to give people a written reminder. Set meeting time length. An hour is a good start. Two hours usually does the trick.
Then, you need a good place. Libraries, parks and restaurants—all make good meeting places. For many clubs, homes are the best place as you don’t have to get dressed up, and noisy public places can make talking hard. If members bring a plate of food or a bottle, it can help start conversation.
Please don’t forget the most important thing—the book! Think about the books your club will enjoy. Fiction? Non-fiction? Your club can choose books in different ways. You can take turns to recommend books. Let everyone vote upon what book to read. Anyway, make sure to keep it light and fun.
After all this has been decided, your book club is ready. Now, it’s time to hold the first meeting. Enjoy your reading.

The most important factor(因素) that leads to success is what you do every single day. Your habits will decide whether you are successful or not. If you have strong and healthy positive habits, it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you will succeed in the long term. Having positive habits does not mean that you will succeed every single time. However, in the long term, there is no doubt that you will achieve all your goals and be successful. On the other hand, if you have strong negative habits, you will fail in the long term. It does not matter whether you succeed today or not.
Why are habits so important?
A single positive action will not change your life, but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a great effect on your life. For example, if you go to the gym one time, you won’t see a big difference in your life. However, if your go to the gym 1,000 time over a five-year period, you will see a big difference in your body.

If you want to develop the habit of reading, read every day. Habits are created by repetition(重复). The more you do an action. the easier it becomes in the long run.
How to get rid of negative habits?
The only way to destroy negative habits is to stop reinforcing(加强) them. If you are a smoker, stop smoking. If you are a drug user, stop using drugs. Yes, it will be very difficult at the beginning. The first week will be very hard. After three weeks, you will feel a lot better. It’s hard to get rid of negative habits because you got a lot of pleasure from these habits in the past.
You can do it!
Everybody can change. All it takes is courage and determination. Decide right now to improve your life by changing your habits. Take action right now! Don’t be afraid. Yes, you will probably make mistakes along the way. But never forget that success is waiting for you if you have positive habits in your life. If you refuse to give up, success will be yours.

Reading is a good habit. There are hundreds of skills to help you read much in a short time.
Here are two skills that I think are especially good.
Preview(预览)---if it’s long and hard. Previewing is especially useful for getting a main idea of
heavy reading like long articles and reports.
Here’s how to preview.
●Read the first two paragraphs(段落) and the last two paragraphs carefully.
●Then read only the first sentence(句子) of the other paragraphs.
Previewing doesn't give you everything. It stops you from spending time on things you don’t
really want or need to read.
Skim(略读)----if it’s short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a main idea of light reading ---like news about popular sports and stars.
Here’s how to skim.
●Get your eyes to move fast. Look through each line.
●Pick up only a few important words in each line.
Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but we’ll get the main idea of the news or article.

The more books you read, the better your life will be. If you don’t believe me, please consider these five reasons to read more books.
You will make your brain power better.
This shouldn’t come as a shock, but studies suggest reading makes you smart. Unlike watching television, which requires no thought process, reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind sharp.
You will increase your chances of success.
The more books you read, the more knowledge you will have, the more ways and resources your brain will store, the more likely you will succeed.
You will have things to talk about at parties.
Reading more books will enable you to say the sentence, “Did you know …?” more often, making it easier to start conversations with strangers.
You will enlarge your vocabulary.
The more words you’re able to use, the better you will become at expressing your thoughts and feelings. I couldn’t imagine how I would write articles like this if I didn’t actively aim to enlarge my vocabulary, because using the same few words to express myself would get boring.
You will enjoy a good night’s sleep.
Your mobile phone or TV can make it difficult for you to get a good night’s sleep, if you do so late at night. You would be wise to cut off all electronics at least an hour before bed, and replace that with a good book, which is a much better choice.
The books can change your life. I firmly believe that if it wasn’t for books, I wouldn’t have achieved in my life; nor would I have the knowledge, imagination or creativity. I hope these reasons to read more books encourage you to unlock your power of reading.
The more books you read, the better your life will be.

Have you heard about “Survival (生存) Holidays”? “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities(活动). Now about 1,100 companies(公司) are asked to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing (打扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled (支配) by adults, but children don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge (挑战). Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.

Nowadays in school life, a lot of students develop a fear of tests. Most students are afraid of tests mainly because they don’t have enough self-confidence and they don’t always think they are well prepared. If you follow the tips below, it’s not difficult to overcome(克服)your fear of tests.
People who know that they are not well-prepared are usually those who fear test most. However, most students don’t know when they are truly prepared for a test. As long as（只要） you know that you have studied well and long enough, you would believe that you are well-prepared.
Be confident about yourself. Confidence before a test can bring about two things: either you fail the test and feel as if your confidence was unfounded(毫无根据)or you could get success in the test because of your confidence. As long as you have studied hard, you will be more confident of your chance to succeed in a test.
Ask your teacher in advance（提前）about the material that is going to be covered in the test. In this way, you will know what you should prepare for and you can get confidence in the test. But you have to be brave enough to ask. Most students do not ask unless their teacher gives the information first.
You should know that tests are only telling if you have got the knowledge, not how good or bad your IQ is. Fear can be a problem in the process of achieving success. However, with the right attitude(态度) and preparations, you can overcome your fear of tests by using these tips.

Is there a wetland around your city? There is one in Shanghai. It’s called Chongming Dongtan Wetland. Chongming Dongtan Wetland is an important nature reserve. It’s in the north-east of the downtown of Shanghai. People can go to visit this place by bus.
The reserve is wet and warm all year round. It is a perfect place for wildlife, including many rare birds. The wetland is 241.55-square-kilometres and an important resting area for migratory birds moving from one hemisphere to another.
A report says that 116 kinds of birds live in the reserve. Now the wetland is limiting the number of visitors to protect its wildlife.
Because of tourism and fishing, the number of the birds there is getting smaller and smaller. Now only people who study birds can get into the wetland. No other visitors can travel through the wetlands. They can only take a look from a man-made watching corridor outside the wetland. As you know, too many people sometimes mean a disaster to wildlife.
Usually the number of birds peaks between September and April. The wetland is only open to scientists who study and protect birds during these months.
The government will start a 20-hectare study center at the end of next year. It will help a lot to protect the wetland.
The government says they are trying to prevent people from disturbing the birds, and at the same time preventing the birds from eating the farmers’ crops.

Good communication is very important in modern society. We know that much of the communication is unspoken. Quite often, we show our true feelings with our eyes, faces, bodies and attitudes. What should we do so that our communication will be effective? Here are my suggestions.
Firstly, you should be yourself. The most effective people never change character from one situation to another. They’re the same whether they’re having a talk with their close friends, chatting with a gentleman or being interviewed for a job.
Secondly, whether you’re talking to one person or one hundred, always remember to look at them. Don’t break eye contact while talking. As you enter a room, move your eyes comfortably, then look directly at those in the room and smile naturally. The best type of smile and eye contact is gentle and comfortable.
You should also observe(观察) other people before showing yourself. You can’t learn anything when you talk. When you attend a meeting, a party or an interview, don’t immediately start showing your opinions. Observe what’s going on. So, listen before you talk.
The fourth suggestion is that you focus your energy. For example, before the meeting, collect your thoughts about the goal of the meeting--- yours and the others’. Once you go through the doorway, no longer think about yourself. Focus on the person you are meeting to find out what he is interested in.
Lastly, I would like to remind you that you should relax yourself. Take a good look at yourself. Do you say “I” too often? Do you often complain? If your answer is yes to even one of the two questions, you need to be more relaxed.

Yangzhou has been famous for its gardens. Nowadays, these gardens represent the long history of Yangzhou.
As early as in the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bi, King of the State of Wu, began to build gardens in Guangling. By the Tang Dynasty, Yangzhou enjoyed economic development, as the poems described, “Vehicles and horses are fewer than the ships; most of the gardens are residences(住宅)”. In the Qing Dynasty came another high point of garden building, which was described in a popular saying “Yangzhou gardens are the best in china.” However, during the late Qing Dynasty, Yangzhou gardens were badly destroyed because of the city’s decline(衰落) and the wars.
Since the foundation of the PRC, Yangzhou gardens have been protected and developed. Famous gardens like the Slender West Lake, Ge Garden, He Garden, Wang’s Residence, Pingshan Hall West Park, Wengfeng Park, Small Valley and Yechun Garden are developing under effective protection. Meanwhile, the Bonsai Garden, Mastixia Bay Park, Bamboo West Park, Twenty-four Bridge Scenic Spot have regained splendor(繁荣). In 1996, Yangzhou became one of the first Garden Cities in Jangsu Province and in 2003 it won the title of the National-level Garden city.

Mayme Clayton collected books, magazines and letters written by African Americans.  Her son, Avery Clayton, thought her collection was important. Unlike most books, these were rare and hard to find. They were written by writers who helped shape African American culture. One book in the collection was written by Phillis Wheatley. Wheatley was a slave who wrote poetry.  She was the first African American to publish (出版) a book. Wheatley herself signed (签名) the book in the Claytons’ collection.  No one else owns a copy signed by Phillis Wheatley.
By the time she passed away at age 83, Mrs. Clayton had more than 30,000 books by or about black people.  Her collection also includes papers about slaves, photographs, movies, sheet music, and personal letters by black leaders and artists.  It is one of the biggest personal collections of African American history and culture in the United States.
Avery Clayton’s dream was to create a museum for his mother’s treasures.  Scholars say that Mrs. Clayton’s collection is very important.  Without her work, part of African American heritage (遗产) would have been lost. “We didn’t know these things existed,” says Sara Hadron of California’s Huntington Library.
The collections new home is likely to be in Culver City, California.  Part of Avery Clayton’s dream is to share the cultural riches his mother collected with others. He especially wants kids to have a chance to see the collection.  “At present African American culture is being explained by pop culture,” he says, “It’s important to offer a more complete picture.”

Everyone loves a good listener. Communication is important for strong relationships. However, if you don't truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate. Working on your listening skills can help you communicate better. The advice below may be of some value.
Give the speaker your full attention
It's important to make the speaker feel heard and valued.
Turn off the TV, put away your phone. Never think about other things when someone is talking. Instead, focus(聚焦) only on what he is saying. Communication will be better if you are able to have a true understanding of the other person's opinions.
Make sure to show you're listening . Nod as the speaker talks, smile and laugh properly. Even, the way you look at the speaker, makes a big difference.
Be patient enough
Do not cut in on the speaker. Always allow a few seconds of silence after someone finishes talking before offering your reply. This allows you to make sure the speaker is done talking.
Avoid hurrying the speaker. Don’t rush the person talking. Never say things like, "Can you get to the point?" This will make it seem like you have nothing to do with the conversation.
Hold your fire
When someone just wants to talk, you don’t need to tell him or her what to do. Try to understand how the person feels and why he does so.
It's never a good idea to listen with judgment. Even if you disagree with his or her actions or opinions, avoid saying he or she is wrong. Otherwise, your communication may end with an argument(争吵). When you “win” the argument, you may lose something far more valuable.
Therefore, it’s necessary to work hard to improve your communication skills.
