     Up to 65% of children don't get as much sleep as they should do, and this can make them nervous
and slower at school, scientists say.
     So how long should young people sleep each night? The answer is between eight and ten hours. If
you don't get enough sleep at night, you'll have less energy the next day.
     But the scientists say many children have missed out on 4,500 hours of sleep by the time they are
seven years old. They say that children miss sleep because they have TVs and computers in their rooms,
and busy parents don't read to their younger children at night any more. The traditional "bedtime story"
helps children to relax and fall asleep peacefully. Children with TVs and computers in their bedrooms
were more likely to sleep badly, and to get less than eight hours' sleep. Even losing one hour's sleep a
night can mean that children do less well at school.
    German scientists think that your brain (大腦) keeps working while you are asleep. To show that
they were right, they gave two groups of people a problem to work out. One group went to sleep, and
the other group stayed awake. The result? The people who slept worked out the answer more quickly.
This showed that their brains had been trying to find the answer while the people were asleep. So,
make sure you get enough sleep tonight, and you'll be at your best tonight , and you'll be at your best
tomorrow!

    Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties (地方特色菜) in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known
for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing  drinks for dozens of  friends.
Just for fun, he  and some friends  decided to  tape a show named Campus  Cuisine  about his  cooking.
Lieberman was a real college student  showing his  classmates how to do things  like make  drinks out of
dining-hall fruit. That  helped the  show become  very popular among  the students. They would stop
Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with
which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.
    Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He
says  Lieberman's  charisma is key. "Food TV isn't  about food  anymore," says Flay. " "It' s about your
personality(個(gè)性) and finding a way to keep people's eyeballs on your show."
    But Lieberman isn't putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show,

flights. Lieberman got the job.
