My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is. When I was younger, I thought s 1. was very important to us as humans, so I said, “My ears, Mommy.” She said, “No. Many people are deaf. But you keep t 2. about it and I will ask you again soon.”
Several years p 3. before she asked me again. This time I told her, “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so I’m sure it m 4. be our eyes.” She looked at me and told me, “You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are b 5. .”
Over the years, Mother asked me some more times and a 6. her answer was, “No, but you are getting smarter every year, my child.”
Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our f 7. good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?”
I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She said, “This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived y 8. life.” I saw her eyes were filled with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder.”
I asked, “Is it because it holds up your head?” She replied, “No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one w 9. they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life, my dear. I only hope t 10. you have enough love and friends. Then you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.”
Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one. It is sympathetic to the pain of others.
World Sleep Day, on 21st March, was created to bring attention to the growing number of sleep problems. Sleep is a natural part of human life, but many people in the modern world don’t realize it’s very important. As a result, sleep problems are quite common.
In 2011, scientists at the University of Athens in Greece did a survey of over 35,000 people in 10 countries around the world, including China, Belgium and South Africa. Among the people, 24 percent said that they did not sleep well, 31.6 percent were diagnosed (诊断) with insomnia (失眠). In addition, 30.7 percent of them have visited doctors for help with sleep problems and 11.6 percent said that they felt very sleepy during the day.
The survey found that many people suffer the effects of poor quality sleep, some even can’t fall asleep and often wake up in the middle of the night. The main reasons of the problems are pressures (压力) from school or work and a fast pace (节奏) of life, but noise pollution and light pollution also affect sleep and cause poor quality sleep. The survey also found that large numbers of people find it hard to sleep at night. The short term effects of this are tiredness and trouble concentrating (专心). If this happens for a long time, the risk of gaining weight and having a heart attack may increase.
There are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep. First, you should have regular sleep habits. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time
each day. You also need to make your bedroom a cool, dark, quiet place to sleep so that heat, light and noise do not disturb you. At night, you should also avoid things that contain caffeine, such as chocolate, coffee, tea and many soft drinks, as caffeine may keep you from sleeping.
Getting a good night’s sleep is important for everyone. By following the advice
above, you can rest better at night and work better during the day.
