A Meaningful Gift

Time is very important in our lives. It organizes our everyday moments. However, time never had any importance in my life until I received a beautiful watch from my father. The watch organized my life and made me more responsible.

I received this gift on a gray-sky day. On that day, I had to go to the airport at 9:00 a. m. to pick up my uncle Harry and take him to my father's house. However, I was late because I was hanging out with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 a. m., I remembered my uncle. But at that time he had left the airport and taken a taxi to my father's house.

I got to my father's house at 2:00 p. m. on the same day. Seeing my father's angry face, I felt ashamed (慚愧的) of myself at that moment. After I said hi to my angry father and tired uncle my father asked me to sit next to him and he handed me this watch.

Then he said," Lisa, did you have fun with your friends today?" I answered, "Yes, father, and Pm sorry about not picking up Uncle Harry. " He said," What you did was not very nice and you should be sorry for your actions. "

I was ashamed and said, "Father, I'll never do it again. I promise. " He said, "I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a reminder for you. " He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my life.

The watch taught me to respect time and never be late. That's why it is important to me.

Many people say a sport as a hobby keeps them fitter, helps them manage their anger, and puts them in a much better mood. As a result, this influences their quality (質(zhì)量) of life, work and family time. Hobbies provide us with a chance to. get social. Getting social can make us feel more supported.

Studies have shown that a good night's rest helps us stay healthy, both mentally ( 精神上) and physically. Dr. Michael Twery, an expert（專家） on the science of sleep and sleep disorders, says,"Getting a good night's sleep is important for learning because it stores the training and learning exercises into our long-term memory while we're sleeping 7 to 8 hours. And then the next morning, our mind is better prepared to perform. "

But what about getting some rest during the middle of the day? Does napping (sleeping for a short time) also help our brain work better? If it is really helpful, then how long can a proper nap last?

Napping can help babies and young children learn better. Also, it can stop older people suffering (遭受) from memory loss. Some people have sleep problems at night, so they nap during the day as a way of paying off a sleep debt. They hope napping may make them feel less tired and sleepy during the day.

In America, it is a shame for people to admit (承認) that they do take a nap. They suppose napping shows they are weak or short of energy. That only children, the very old, sick or lazy people nap is a widely-accepted opinion. However, that may be changing. Many offices now offer napping rooms, and napping cafes are appearing in many U. S. cities.

Unlike America, napping is part of a normal, everyday life in other parts of the world. For example, China is generally considered as a land of nappers. Researchers found nearly 60 percent of old Chinese people took a nap after lunch and most of them napped for about an hour. The study found that people who took an hour-long nap did much better on mental tests than those who did not nap or who napped for longer periods. It seems that the most helpful nap lasted for about an hour.

But Dr. Michael Twery mentions that an hour-long nap may be too long for young, healthy adults. "We're suggesting that we try to nap for about 30 minutes or less. And 30 minutes is enough to help us feel more awake. " He also found that someone who naps because of bad sleep at previous night may not experience the same improvements from napping as a healthy, well-rested person would. So, the right thing to do is to get enough sleep at night and take a proper nap for about 30 minutes. But remember not to take a nap later than 3:00 in the afternoon, which may cause a sleep problem.

A. napping only helps the healthy, well-rested people improve their brain performance

B. napping shows people are very sick and lazy in some countries

C. people had better take a nap before 3:00 in the afternoon

Take a look in your clothes drawer. Do you see a pair of jeans? You probably do. You may be wearing a pair right now. Or you might have a jean jacket, shirt, or a pair of denim (牛仔布) shoes. Jeans are so common, and you may wonder who invented them and how the fashion took off.

Jeans were invented by a German named Levi Strauss. He went to the U. S. in 1847 and followed the Gold Rush to San Francisco. He carried many kinds of fabric (布料) to sell to dry goods stores. Levi quickly became a successful businessman. The miners (礦工) in California had a problem with their pants. When they found gold or ore (礦石) , they carried it in their pockets. But the metal was heavy, and the pockets ripped (撕開) . In 1873, Jacob and Levi made the first jeans-tough denim pants. The miners loved them, and the jeans quickly became popular.

In the beginning, Levi's jeans were work pants. Many workers wore them all the time. But a gentleman wouldn't think of wearing jeans. Women didn't wear pants at all. But this changed when Western movies became popular. All the cowboys were in jeans. People thought the cowboys looked tough and cool. But jeans still weren't proper for places like schools and offices. Back in the U. S. , fashions changed. Movie stars wore jeans in their films. Teenagers everywhere loved them. Some schools banned jeans because of their "rebel" (叛逆) image. But casual clothing, including jeans, became popular for more and more occasions. Eventually, jeans were so common that it became okay for anyone to wear them. You can even find pictures of the president wearing jeans.

Today, all kinds of people around the world wear jeans. People wear them everywhere. Jeans are popular today for the same reasons they were popular when Levi Strauss first made them. They look good, they last long, and they are comfortable. That's probably why you own a pair or two, or seven, yourself.
