14．　　Tired of solving a problem? Sleep on it! A study by a group of German scientists shows that getting enough sleep makes people better problem solvers. They found that people who sleep for at least eight hours each night are better at solving problems and thinking creatively. For their study, the scientists divided (分开) 106 people into two groups. The group that got eight hours of sleep was more than twice as likely to find a shortcut (捷径) for solving a math problem as the group that stayed awake all night.
　　Being short of sleep has become a bad habit for many American kids. According to a survey by the National Sleep Foundation (基金会), 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 p. m. or later on school nights. The foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7- to 12-year-olds agreed that they felt tired during the day.
　　This is important information for parents and kids. Getting enough sleep can improve a kid's performance (表现) at school.

15．　　Tara worked in a hospital as a nurse. One evening there was a big dance party at the hospital. Most of the doctors and nurses would be there, but it was Tara's turn to look after the sick children. She liked dancing very much, so she felt very sorry.
　　She went to each sick child one after another and said good-night, until she came to one little boy, Dennis. He was eleven years old, but he was already able to talk like an adult (成人). Poor Dennis had a very serious illness, and now he was hardly able to move any part of his body except his hands. Tara knew he would never get any better, but he was always happy and always thinking about other people instead of thinking about himself.
　　Dennis knew that Tara loved dancing, so now when she came to say good-night to him, he greeted her with the words, "I'm very sorry that you have to miss the dance because of us. But we are going to have a party for you. If you look in my drawer (抽屉), you'll find a piece of cake. I saved it from my supper today, so it's quite fresh. And there is also a dollar there. You can buy something to drink with that. And I'd get up and dance with you myself if I was able to," he added.
　　Suddenly the hospital dance party seemed very far away and not at all important to Tara.

22．　　In some Western countries, many children like to do chores to get pocket money (零花钱). They usually start to do this when they are ten years old.
　　School students have to do homework and study for tests. They don't have much free time on weekdays. They often do chores on weekends.
　　Young kids only do easy chores. So they don't get much money. But that's enough. Many of them only want to buy candy! And candy is cheap! They often help do the dishes, sweep the floor or feed the pet cat or dog.
　　When they get older, they want to buy more and more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy. So they have to work harder! They often help their parents wash the family car, cut the grass, or cook meals.
　　 Some jobs are also a good way for kids to learn new things. For example, they can learn how to use a lawnmower (割草机) or how to cook. Of course, their parents help them at first.
