Nowadays, cell phones are part of our lives. Many people have cell phones. They can help us easily find people anywhere at any time. However, using cell phones too often may cause cancer(癌症). It’s reported that people who use a cell phone for 10 years or more may get brain cancer.
The suggestions below may help you reduce(减少)the risk of cancer：
When using your cell phone, try to keep it away from your body as much as possible. Don’t put it on the bedside table when you go to sleep.
When you’re on the cell phone, use the speaker(扬声器). In this way, you have just 1/100th of the contact(接触)with radiation you have when you hold it to your ear. An earphone is also a good idea.
Try to keep your conversations short. If you need to talk longer, use an ordinary phone instead.
Change ears when you’re using your cell phone. Before putting it to your ear, wait until the person you are calling picks up the phone.
Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or send messages, but not when you’re listening or getting messages. Listening more and talking less can lower the risk of cancer.
Do not use your cell phone when the signal(信号)is weak or when moving at a high speed, for example in a car or on a train. At high speeds your phone is trying to pick up signals, and this increases the radiation it gives out.

How much sleep is enough?
To stay in good health, some experts in the US say, adults should get seven to eight hours of sleep. Teenagers need nine to ten hours. And pre-school children need more than 10 hours of sleep a night.
Experts say the quality（质量） of our sleep becomes poor as we grow older. This happens because the brain unit that controls sleep begins to weaken slowly as we age.
Experts say the change starts in our 30s. By the time we reach our 50s, a person may have lost 50 percent of his or her ability to have a restful sleep.
These people have trouble falling and staying asleep through the night. From middle age on, these problems only get worse, and they can have a bad effect on their health.
Signs that show you may not be getting enough sleep:
You’re always hungry or you’ve got unwanted weight. If you are in short of sleep, certain chemicals（化学物质） in your body will not work well and tell your brain in time that you have eaten enough.
You have trouble making decisions. Not having enough sleep may make your brain work slower in problem solving.
You have trouble remembering things. Sleep helps prepare the brain for new memories.
Your feeling changes unreasonably. People who don’t sleep well may feel unable to control their feeling.
You are having trouble seeing. If there is a shortage of sleep, you may not be able to see things as clearly as usual.
How to improve your sleep? Here are a few things people can do to get better sleep.
Health experts say that exercise and avoiding work on computers make people go to sleep more easily. A cool room is also a good choice for sleeping well.

“全民阅读”策略
The Chinese government has a policy called “Nationwide Reading”， a movement to develop better reading habits among the population.

Our country encourages schools, colleges and universities to open their libraries to the public, and calls on bookstores to offer reading space and organize reading for customers.
