But do you know anything about “junk sleep’’? A British study has found that there are many electronic products(电子产品) in kids’ bedrooms. They are having a bad influence (影响) kids’ sleep. The study asked 1,000 British children from 12 to 16. It found that thirty percent of them got just 4 to 7 hours’ sleep every day. But doctors say they need to sleep for 8 to 9 hours. They spend too much time on electronic products. In the study, almost 25% of the children said that they got to sleep when using electronic products more than once a week. “This is very worrying,” said Dr. Chris, a British professor(教授). “We call it ‘junk sleep’. It means you don’t get enough sleep, and the quality of the sleep is bad, too, as playing electronic products before sleeping may make your mind excited and make lots of dreams. If you don’t get a good rest, you won’t do well in school the next day. ’’ The study also found that 40% of the children often felt tired because of junk sleep, with girls between 15 and 16 feeling the worst. Almost all the children had a phone, a computer or a TV in their bedrooms. And many of them had all the three. For this, Dr. Chris said that parents should help their children keep away from electronic products, and kids should spend less time on electronic products. ( )24. How long should teenagers sleep a day? A. For 4 or 7 hours B. For 6 or 9 hours C. For 8 or 9 hours ( )25. What does the underlined word “quality” mean in Chinese in paragraph 5?

Only 10% of the kids had electronic products in bedrooms. ( )27. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Junk Food or Junk Sleep B. Enough Sleep, High Points C. Fewer Electronic Products, Less Junk Sleep C How do people from all over the world spend their free time? Let’s have a look. ·Internet People from Canada spend about 43.5 hours online every week, 8 hours longer than Americans. Canada has long cold winters, so people spend lots of time at home. ·Outdoors People from New Zealand spend most of their free time outdoors. The countryside there is great for mountain climbing and water sports. ·Bars Spain has a lot of bars. In Spain, a bar is for families, not just drinkers. It’s a meeting place and often an eating place. When none of your family or friends are free, you can still go to a bar by yourself. People around you in the bar may ask you to join them. ·Museums The UK has six of the top 20 most visited museums in the world, such as the National Gallery, the British Museum and Tate Modern. ·Parties As for parties, most people will think of Brazil.
