Last Sunday evening, my parents went out for a walk with my sister. But I studied alone at home because I would have an English test. All of a sudden, I saw bright light in my neighbor’s kitchen. I thought he was cooking so I went on studying.
Soon, there was a terrible smell in the air and I thought something was wrong. I went out and saw fire coming out of my neighbor’s kitchen. So I shouted “Fire! Fire!” But no one heard or came out.
I ran quickly into my house to call 119, and then I rang my neighbor’s doorbell, knocked at the door, but there was no response. I got into the house through the window and found my neighbor sleeping in his bedroom. I woke him up and we rushed out of the house together.
We tried our best to pour water through the kitchen window, but the fire was too heavy. Luckily, the firemen came and put out the fire quickly. When my parents came back, they found I was dirty and tired. After my neighbor told them the whole story, they were happy and said I was a brave boy.

You may know about “junk food” like French fries. But do you know about “junk sleep”?
Recently, a British survey found that electronic(电子的) products in teenagers’ bedrooms are affecting(影响) their sleep.
The survey was done among 1,000 British kids from 12 to 16.It found that 30% of them got just 4 to 7 hours of 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 Idzikowski,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 a good rest,you don’t perform well in school the next day.”
The survey found that 40% of the kids felt tired each day,with girls between 13 and 16 feeling the worst. Nearly all the teenagers have a cellphone,an iPad or a TV in their bedrooms. And many of them have all the three.
