What will you do if you're not sleepy? 5hould you still go to bed if you are just going to Iie there with your eyes wide open?
It's a1ways a problem that some people find it hard to go to sleep.
You might be excited by everything you did that day. You might be excited for what you know you're going to do the next day. Maybe you can't sleep because you don’t like sleeping all alone in your room. Maybe you have a nightmare that keeps coming-back every time you close your eyes.
All of these feelings are normal.
One thing that can help is talking to a parent about what you're thinking about. If you're nervous about something; it can be really helpful to tell somebody. Knowing that somebody has heard you can help your thoughts rest so that you can rest, too. If anything in your room makes you feel uncomfortable at night ，like a strange picture or a broken window, be sure to ask one of your parents if it can be moved or fixed.
Another idea could be getting ready for bed earlier than usual. You can relax by taking a warm bath, or listening to a bedtime routine at least 30 minutes before you go to sleep.
1t is also good to keep your bedtime routine (惯例) and time the same every night. By keeping it the same, your body will get the message that it's almost time to sleep.
It's important not to give up just because one solution didn't work and you're still awake. Just trying to find out what's wrong may be enough to make you so tired that you wake up the next morning without knowing how you fell asIeep.
So even if you run out of ideas, you might still have a restful and good night.

Garry Golden is a futurist. Futurists are scientists who analyze the way the world is today and use that information.to predict what the world will be like in the future. Golden focuses on the study of transportation. He spends his days studying the relationships between cars, subways, and trains. But he's most excited about imagining the way these relationships will change in the future.
Many public transportation supporters dislike big cities because they spend hours driving from one side of the city to the other. And there aren't enough buses and. subways.
However, Golden sees a trend (趋势) toward fewer cars' in the future. He explains, "Cities have a cost of car ownership, which is a challenge. All these vehicles cost the city in services, in having to repair roads and other things. "Cars also take up a lot of space.
Golden points out that having so many parking spaces is wasteful. Much of the time the parking spaces
sit empty. What is the solution?"I think cities will make new laws to limit the number of cars people can have ，" says Golden. "Instead, people will use taxis, subways, and buses. New technology, like smartphones, can make these forms of public transportation even better. Imagine if everyone had a smartphone and used them to signal(发信号) when they wanted to ride the bus. Buses could change their route(路线) to meet people's requests."
How soon would these changes come? Golden admits that it will take several years. Cities can be slow to change. Also, new systems of transportation can be expensive. "But it's coming," he says. "The trend of the empowered city will be here soon. "
The other trend that excites Golden is electric cars. Golden especially believes in the future of electric cars that have sensors(传感器) to understand the world around them. "If we have cars that can communicate with one another, they can adjust speeds to cut down on traffic jams,"he says. Rush hour in big cities would be much less painful.
One challenge is that it is hard to cheaply produce batteries that are strong enough for these cars. But Golden argues we could, also make cars out of strong plastic composites(合成物). The cars would then be much lighter and much cheaper to make.
Golden remains positive about the future. "There are so many exciting developments ，"he says. "In thirty years we will live a different world. "

Are there Harry Porter books in your schooI library? Many kids all over the world are reading J. K. Rowling's books in school. But some parents think their children shouldn't be able to find those and other books in schooI libraries.
Should schooI Iibraries keep books that some parents don't approve of? Should they take those books off the shelves?
All over the country, schools are trying to find solutions to this problem. Read these arguments. Then decide for yourself.
Yes! Some Books Sould Be Banned (禁止) from School Libraries!
"We need certain limits (限定)，"said one student. He said some books have no place in school Iibraries.
Books should meet certain standards before they are put in schooIs. Is this a good book for kids to read? Is it fuII of violence (暴力)? Does it include bad words or ideas kids shouId not learn about? If a book is not good for all kids, it should not be in a schooI Iibrary.
Most parents know what's good for kids. They have a right to decide which books should or should not be in schooI Iibraries. If parents don't have time to find out everything their kids read, they should trust schooIs to do that for them.
No! Books Should Not Be Banned from School Libraries!
"Parents should decide what their own kids read, "said Natalie Nicol, a student. "But other parents shouldn't make that choice for them. "
Many experts say that it's the parents' job, not the schooI's job, to check out what their kids are reading. If they don't Iike a book, they should not let their kids read it.
Why should a few parents stop kids from reading stories like the Harry Potter series? Kids should be able to check out books their parents think are OK to read it.
Many schooIs Iet kids borrow certain books if they have a signed paper from a parent. That works fine. A parent doesn't sign the paper if he or she doesn't want the child to read the book. Other kids can read the books if they have permission.
Some books are not OK for all kids to read. But if more adults were careful about what their own kids read, they wouldn't have to ban books from the library.
