"What is success?" Mr. Gruber asked his 6th grade business class. It was his opening question for the first class of the term.

  "Success is riding in a sweet car,watching an 80-inch TV,and living in a place with at least twelve rooms," one student answered,earning laughs from all the students.

  Mr. Gruber smiled,but shook his head, "Tom,that is excess (過量的) .That is not success." 

  "How about being able to support your family?" a blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.

  "Now we're getting closer,but try thinking about what you need and what you want."   "Getting everything you want," Tom shouted out an answer again,trying for more laughs. 

  Mr. Gruber sighed, "I believe we've already talked about excess versus (與...相比) success."

  "Getting everything you need,but some of what you want," James,sitting in the back,said aloud.

  "Quite right ！" Mr. Gruber clapped. "Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get what you want,the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess,though."

  "Does this have anything to do with business?" Tom asked. It seemed if the answer wasn't funny,he wouldn't be happy.

  "Well,think about it in this way: The point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (確保) their needs,you can then see to getting the extras that you want." 

  "What if I don't have a family?" he continued to be difficult. 

  "Then you have to provide for yourself,a family of one."

  "He has goldfish to think about!" Peter,Tom's friend? shouted out.

  "Then he needs to provide a family of one with a fishbowl," Mr. Gruber corrected himself. Tom nodded,satisfied with that answer.

  "So in the next nine weeks,we're going to study basic business situations,like having a checking account and understanding credit cards."

  Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly and said, "When do we get to start spending?" 

  "You already are,Tom. You're spending time with us！”Mr. Gruber laughed. "Now,let's see what you guys know about credit cards ..."

 Most teens need more than 9 hours of sleep each night. But about 1 in 4 teens has trouble in sleeping. Lack of sleep can affect everything from our feelings to how well we focus on tasks like studying. It can also influence sports performance,increase our chances of getting sick,and may lead to weight gain in some people.

  How can we get the sleep we need? Here are some ideas:

  Be active during the day. Get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. Physical activity can decrease stress and help people feel more relaxed. Just don't work too close to bedtime because exercise can wake you up before it slows you down.

  Say goodnight to electronics. Experts suggest using the bedroom for sleep only. At least shut everything down an hour or more before lights out.

  Keep a sleep routine. Going to bed at the same time every night helps the body expect sleep. Creating a set bedtime routine can improve this relaxation effect. Reading,listening to music,spending time with a pet,writing a diary or doing anything else can relax you.

  Expect a good night's sleep. Instead of worrying that you won't sleep,remind yourself that you can. Say "Tonight,I will sleep well" several times during the day.  It can also help to practice breathing exercises or gentle exercises before bed.

  Everyone has a sleepless night once in a while. But if you regularly have trouble in sleeping and you think it's affecting your mood or performance,talk to your doctor.


(   ) 1. The underlined word "affect" means         .

   A. increase   B. spread   C. influence   D. waste

   A. go to see a doctor           B. be active during the day

   C. say goodnight to electronics   D. keep a good sleep routine

(   ) 4. Which is NOT true according to the passage?

   A. Making the light on helps to have a good sleep.

   B. Hoping a good night's sleep can help to have a good sleep.

   C. Exercise can reduce stress and help us feel relaxed.
