Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

This is an old English saying (諺語). It means that we should go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do, we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever.

Is this true? Perhaps it is. The body must have enough sleep. Children of your age need ten hours’ sleep every night. If you go to bed late, you can’t have enough sleep. Then you can’t think carefully and your homework will be wrong. You will not be wise and you may not become wealthy!

Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is not good for them. We should sleep at night when it is dark. The dark helps us sleep well. When the daylight comes, we should get up. This is the time for exercise. If the body is not used, it will become weak. Exercise keeps it strong.

Exercise helps the blood (血液) to move around inside the body. Blood takes nutrition (營(yíng)養(yǎng)) to all parts of our bodies. The brains (大腦) in our heads also need blood. We think with our brains. If we keep our bodies healthy, and take exercise, we can think better!

Our bodies also need air to breathe (呼吸). Without air we will die. Get up early in the morning and we can have plenty of clean, fresh air. That will keep us healthy and happy.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案。

1.The old English saying tells us _______.

A. how to make more money

B. when we should get up

C. it is important to go to bed and get up early

C. go to bed early D. get up early

4._______ provides nutrition for our brains.

A. Air B. Blood C. Exercise D. Sleep

“ I hate school, and I’m not going back!” Have you ever had that thought? Lots of kids have had. Usually this feeling doesn’t last long. But what if you feel this way too much?

There are several signs showing you are stressed out. Have headaches or stomachaches is a sign of stress. Having trouble sleeping is also a sign of stress. And if you’re not getting enough sleep, you probably feel tired during the day.

Sometimes it’s a problem with your classes and schoolwork. Maybe the work is too easy and you get bored. Or maybe the work is too hard, or you don’t feel as clever as the other kids. You may be getting farther and farther behind, and feel that you will never catch up with others. Only when you know why you don’t like school, can you start taking steps to make things better.

It’s a good idea to talk to someone about your feelings about school. For example, keep a diary or just write in a notebook. It’s a great way to let out bad feelings.

Another good idea is to write down your feeling about school. For instance, keep a diary or just write in a notebook. It’s a great way to let out emotion that may be stuck inside you. And you don’t have to share（分享）what you have written with others.

The next time you find yourself disliking school, this will also help you： Make a list of everything you dislike or enjoy-even there is only one thing. See what you can change on “don’t like” list. Concentrate on what you can change and you might be able to put the good feelings back in school!
