[1]It seems parents have long been right. Going to bed early is key to getting enough sleep and helping adolescents feel on top of the world, a new study reported.

[2]A lack of sleep among youngsters may trigger depression and suicidal thoughts, according to the study by the Columbia University Medical Center.

[3]"Our results are consistent with the theory that inadequate sleep is a risk factor for depression, working with other risk and protective factors through multiple possible causal ways to the development of this mood disorder," said lead author James Gangwisch.

[4]"Adequate quality sleep could therefore be a preventative measure against depression and a treatment for depression," he added in the study published in the Friday issue of Sleep magazine.

[5]The study followed the nightly habits of some 15,659 college and high-school students, and found those who consistently turned in after midnight had a 24 percent higher risk of depression than those who                     before 10:00 pm. Night owls also ran a 20 percent higher risk of battling suicidal thoughts, the study added.

[6]The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends that adolescents should sleep at least nine hours or more a night. Those who were tucked in before 10:00 pm reported they slept on average about eight hours and 10 minutes. But that amount of sleep dropped significantly for those in bed after midnight.

[7]And adolescents who slept five hours or less a night were 71 percent more likely to suffer depression and 48 percent more at risk of becoming suicidal, the study said.

[8]"It is a common perception and societal expectation that adolescents do not need as much sleep as pre-adolescents. Yet studies suggest that adolescents may actually require more sleep." said Gangwisch.

[9]"Studies have found that adolescents do not go to bed early enough to make up for earlier school start time. And transitions to earlier school start times have been shown to be associated with significant sleep deprivation."

You are in a beautiful place enjoying the landscape, maybe fishing, but suddenly the peace and quiet is interrupted by the noisy sound of a cell phone! Cell phones are everywhere, and some people don’t know what the limits of cell phone use are.

     Nowadays，that’s the biggest problem. People disturb other people, first with the ringing of their cell phones and then with their conversations because they usually speak very loudly. Not everybody in a public place should have to listen to private conversations.

     People need to learn how to use cell phones correctly. If there is an emergency, cell phone are acceptable; but remember that just a few years ago few people had cell phones and the whole society survived! Nowadays people can’t seem to live without using the cell phones. They talk in restaurants, in restrooms, in hospitals, and at parties. It’s incredible!

     It’s like smoking. Just as people don’t want to be bothered by smokers, they don’t want to be disturbed by cell phone talkers. Our society has to learn to respect other people. It would be great if loud talking was seen as really bad manners. The use of cell phones must be restricted in places such as cinemas, theatres, museums, classrooms, and hospitals.

       Nowadays, people just laugh when a cell phone rings in these places, but it’s just the beginning. So in the future I think things are going to change. They should have got tickets when they use them in inappropriate places, like people get parking tickets when they park in inappropriate places. So, we have to write some rules to restrict, or even prohibit, cell phone use in some places. New rules of etiquette (禮儀) are needed for new behaviors in our lives such as using cell phones. It’s going to have to be part of our education in the future.

56. According to the passage, how does the cell phone trouble others? (Within 20 words)

At first Kate thought the Romanian girl could not speak and understand English. Nadia would not reply to anything Kate said. Kate was in charge of showing Nadia around on her first day at Buckminster Grade School. Kate could not figure out why the school had put Nadia in a class where she could not understand what people were saying.

“Why did they do this?” Kate wondered aloud. “I mean, you can’t learn if you can’t understand the teacher.”

Nadia’s voice was a whisper. “I understand English. I will learn.” Nadia’s English was perfect.

Kate was perplexed. She couldn’t understand why Nadia did not like to speak. Then she realized that moving to a new country probably wasn’t the easiest thing to do. There were hundreds of unfamiliar and unusual things to learn all at the same time.

“There’re a lot of new things to learn, huh?” said Kate.

Nadia nodded rapidly. In a quiet voice she replied, “Many things people say, I do not understand. I have been speaking English and Romanian all my life, but I do not know what some children are saying. For example, yesterday a boy asked if I could help him find the USB port on a thin black box he was carrying. Isn’t a port a place for ships? I was confused.”

“Don’t worry,” said Kate. “You’ll figure everything out in time. You see, that thin black box was a computer. A USB port is a place where you can connect other machines to a computer.”

Nadia and Kate were quiet after that. They took notes while the teacher gave a maths lesson. To Kate’s surprise, Nadia put up her hand and offered to answer questions at the blackboard.

Nadia handled every question the teacher gave her. Some of the questions were really difficult, and no one understood what was going on except Nadia and the teacher. When the teacher said that Nadia answered everything correctly, the whole class clapped their hands.

Nadia was smiling when she sat back down next to Kate. “Some things,” she said in a normal voice, “are the same all over the world.”
