There are many ways t help imprve yur health like eating healthy fd, taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way t be healthier is just t sleep eight hurs r mre every night. The general sleeping rule is that the yunger yu are, the lnger sleep yu need.
The prblem with sleep is that mre and mre peple in the wrld are nt sleeping enugh. Accrding t the Wrld Health Organizatin, ver half the peple in the wrld may be sleep-deprived. Having less sleep nt nly makes peple feel tired but als causes accidents. In the United States alne, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Als sleep prblems can cause medical prblems such as high bld pressure.
Why are s many peple sleep-deprived? Part f the reasns may be cultural. In the American culture, peple put a higher value n wrk than n sleep. In fact, peple wh sleep a lt are usually seen as “lazy”.

Rbt fls humans
The idea that rbts culd ne day be ur friends has been arund fr a lng time but until nw they have always seemed mre machine than persn. A new study by a researcher at the Italian Institute f Technlgy has fund that in fact it’s pssible fr rbts t fl us here and there, they are just less perfect than human. Inspired by the Turing Test, Agnieszka Wykwska came up with an experiment using a child-sized human-like rbt called iCub. Sitting in frnt f a screen, the peple in the test were asked t press a buttn when a green bx appeared n the screen, hwever, iCub nly respnded t red bxes Wykwska prgrammed the rbt t take different lengths f time t respnd, just like a persn wuld. Afterwards, the humans were asked t judge whether they had been cmpeting with a machine r a persn accrding t the time f the buttins being pressed—and they culdn’t tell. Wykwska believes that making rbts have mre human respnses is the key t making better rbts and creating mre trust between humans and rbts.
In anther study with iCub, the rbt and a human watched special vides f animals. In the first set f tests, iCub greeted the persn, asked fr his name and kept eye cntact with its camera “eyes”. It made cmments abut the vides, laughed and shwed emtins (情感). In the secnd experiment, hwever, iCub did nt cmmunicate with human and just made machine-like nises. The researchers fund that peple believe that the mre human iCub is, the mre it has its wn thughts and desires. The team nw wants t knw if peple can cmmunicate with rbts that d nt lk human but that still shw human-like actins. The researchers plan t repeat the experiments, using rbts f different shapes and sizes, t see hw peple give their respnses.

On the first day, we tk a plane tur ver the rck, and I was surprised at hw big it was: 3. 6 kilmeters lng and 384 meters high. The clrs f the rck are fantastic, and at different times f the day, they change frm purple t red. The Abrigines are the first peple f Australia, and the ancient abriginal stries describe the spirits that created the wrld. Uluru is a center f Abriginal culture.
The Australians have many British relatives. That’s why they’re like us in many ways. Their family life is similar t urs, and they enjy the same fd and hbbies. The fd and drink that mst Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the suth f the cuntry. They lve all sprts, but ftball is the mst ppular. Mst Australians live near the cast, s they als lve ging t the beach, swimming and surfing.
Althugh it’s December, it’s summer ver here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the cast the cuntryside is very green. There are lts f sheep in the fields and n the hills, but the utback(澳洲内陆) is mre like a desert, full f rcks and sand.
The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went n a camel(骆驼) ride. The camel that I rde had a bad temper. When I sat n its back, it became very angry and refused me. S everyne else thught it was very funny that my camel kept lying dwn…
Finally, later this evening, we’re taking the plane back t Sydney and cming hme, it’s been a fantastic trip!
