There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food, taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep for eight hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But regardless of age, some people need to sleep more while for some a few hours are enough.
The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization, over half the people in the world may be sleep-deprived. Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure.
Why are so many people sleep-deprived Part of the reasons may be cultural In the American culture, people put a higher value on work than on sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lot are usually seen as “lazy”. Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don’t have much time to sleep; they only sleep for four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you’ll do.
How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas, an expert in sleep. He says, “Sleep is like a credit card. When you sleep less, you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back. The more hours you don’t sleep, the more hours you should sleep to ‘pay back’ the hours on your ‘sleep credit card’.”
For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said, “Don’t think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more.”
8. According to the writer, the easiest and cheapest way to improve health is to_______.
A. eat healthy food every day
B. take exercise as much as possible
C. get medical help whenever necessary
D. sleep for eight hours or more every night
9. What does the underlined word “sleep-deprived” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Having a good sleep. B. Excited about sleep.
C. Having less sleep. D. Interested in sleep.
10. What do the words of the famous person mean in Paragraph 5
A. Sleeping during the night is foolish. B. Sleeping during the night is helpful.
C. People have no courage. D. People always do less work.
11. What is the best title of the passage
A. The Value of Sleep B. The Value of Study
C. The Ways of Eating Less D. The Ways of Making Money
Every year on 15th October, over 200 million people around the world take part in Global Handwashing Day. But why do we have a day for something we do all the time Well, research shows that not enough people often wash their hands with soap. Experts believe that this leads to the deaths of millions of people every year.
Sidibe, a public health expert says soap is the most beautiful invention in public health. Washing your hands with soap can reduce the spread of diseases. Handwashing with soap prevents babies from getting ill and keeps children healthy in school.
However, washing hands with soap does not happen as often as you might think. This is partly because there aren’t enough resources in poorer countries, but it’s also because for many people, handwashing is simply not part of their everyday life. It’s not easy to get people to change habits they learned in early childhood-but this is what Global Handwashing Day wants to do.
In 2008, the Indian cricket team joined around 100 million Indian schoolchildren in washing their hands to promote the first Global Handwashing Day. Every year since then, many different events have been held around the world. In 2014, Global Handwashing Day was used in the fight against Ebola, a very serious disease, with events held in affected African countries.
Today, local and national leaders continue to use the day to spread the message about the importance of clean hands. The hope is that handwashing becomes a necessary part of people’s lives and improves the health of millions around the world.
12. Who started Global Handwashing Day
A. Public health experts. B. The Indians.
C. African schoolchildren. D. Government leaders.
13. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph
A. Washing hands with soap is good for public health.
B. Washing hands with soap doesn’t become part of peoples lives.
C. People are holding many different events to fight against diseases.
D. People all over the world are encouraged to wash hands with soap.
14. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Learning to Use Soap B. Fighting Against Diseases
C. Living a Healthy Life D. Changing Your Habits
15. What will you do after you read the passage
