You may know about “junk food” like French fries. But do you know about “junk sleep”?

The survey was done among 1,000 British kids from 12 to 16. It found that 30 percent of them got just 4 to 7 hours' sleep every day. But doctors say they need 8 to 9 hours.
Almost a quarter of the kids said they fell asleep more than once a week while watching TV, listening to music or using other electronic products.
“This is very worrying,” said Dr Chris Malinowski, a British expert,“we call it ‘junk sleep’. It means you don't get enough sleep and the quality of the sleep is bad, too. If you don't get good rest, you won't do well in school the next day.”

Most people agree that trees look nice, but not everyone knows that trees can also help cities save money. A few years ago, the US Forest Service studied trees in Chicago. They found that just one tree can save a city hundreds of dollars over its lifetime.
Trees can save money by helping people save energy(能源). Trees stop the sun shining on buildings. They also block(挡住) the winter wind. That helps people use less energy to make their homes or offices warm or cool. Saving energy is saving money.
Trees have another way to help a city save money. When it rains, there will be a lot of water in a city's sewers (下水道). Cities need lots of money to clean that water. But before the rainwater gets to the dirty sewers, trees can take some into themselves. With the help of trees, there is less water to clean.

( )33.One tree can save a city hundreds of dollars in one day.
