Up to two-thirds of children don’t get as much sleep as they should do and this can make them nervous and slower at school, researchers say.
So 1 should young people sleep each night The answer is between 8 and 10 hours. If you don’t get enough sleep at night, you’ll have 2 energy the next day.
But the researchers say many children have missed out on 4,500 hours of sleep by the time they are 7 years old. They say that children miss sleep because they have TVs and computers in their rooms and 3 parents don’t read to their younger children at night any more. The traditional “bedtime story” helps children to relax and fall asleep 4 . Children with TVs and computers in their bedrooms are more likely to sleep badly and to get less than 8 hours sleep. Even 5 one hour’s sleep a night can mean that children do less well at school.

二．阅读理解
The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels．
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious (叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds, they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to “rock the boat”.
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I'm going out clubbing. As long as they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Come, who is now 21,agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenagers rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”
1．What does “rock the boat” probably mean in Paragraph 2？ 　 　
A．share family responsibility B．cause trouble in their families
C．go boating with their family D．make family decisions
2．Compared with parents of 30 years age, today’s parents 　 　．
A．go to clubs more often with their children B．are much stricter with their children
C．care less about their children’s life D．give their children more freedom
3．According to the author, teenage rebellion 　 　．
A．may not be a true belief B．is common nowadays
C．happened only in the 1960s D．resulted from changes in families

Tom，a 15-year-old inventor and entrepreneur(创业者), witnessed at his own school the widespread consumption of sugary drinks by kids. He knew there had to be a better portable drink solution and decided to innovate from something he saw in his own home：fruit infused (浸泡) water.
Tom watched his mum make healthy fruit infusions but then struggle for a take-along option. From observing his mum and from his desire to give kids better drink options, he came up with his original model for the Fun Bottle. “I wanted to come up with a healthy, natural way for people to drink when on the go. A big part of my mission is to get people of all ages off sugary drinks,” Tom explains.
The bottle is made with a strainer(滤网) that allows the great tastes and natural sugars of the various fruits and vegetables you choose to come through the water, without any of the seeds or skins flowing through.
Tom is proud of his design and excited to be selling the Fun Bottle on his website and in stores, but this15-year-old is most proud of the opportunities that Fun Bottle presents to others. It helps to provide healthy alternatives to sugary drinks；and also Tom donates part of the profits to the Organization for a Healthier Generation.
Tom has been awarded several prizes, but this teenage innovator remains humble.When asked what advice he’d give other entrepreneurial youth, he says, “Prepare and have your family’s support. It is important to know from the beginning that there are a lot of highs and lows, and there is no such thing as overnight success.”
What did Tom witness at his own school？
