Johnson is a 10-year-old girl from New York City. She likes staying up late to watch movies on her iPad. Sometimes because she does not have enough sleep, she feels tired at school next morning.
Just like Johnson, many students feel tired at school in the morning. The kids aged between 6 and 13 need nine to eleven hours of sleep each night, but most of them get less than that.
What takes the kids' sleep time away? Smart phones and tables (智能手机和平板电脑)! A scientist said, "The kids who have these things in their bedroom often get about half an hour less sleep than those who don't."
Scientists think a good night's rest is important to students. "The students who sleep enough can learn much better at school than those who don't," another scientist said.
Johnson's mother said her family decided to make some new rules for her daughter. "we are going to limit(限制) Johnson' screen time and ask her to go to bed earlier than before. We hope these rules can help Johnson to sleep well for school," she said.
What do you know about penguins(企鹅)? They live in a very cold place. They have a white-and-black body. They are good at swimming but they can't fly.
That is what most people know about penguins. But do you know that there is a special kind of penguin in the world? These penguins don't live in a cold place. Their bodies are not white-and-black, either.
This kind of penguin is called blue penguins. They live in Australia and New Zealand. The two countries are in the south of the earth(地球), and they are warm all year around. As you can see from the name, blue penguins have a blue-and-white body. Their heads are blue, too.
Blue penguins are the smallest kind of penguin in the world. They are just about 43cm tall and weigh(重) about 1kg. They live near the sea and catch(抓住) small fish in the sea for food.
Blue penguins are very cute. More than 500 thousand visitors go to Australia to see these lovely blue penguins every year.
