I’m writing this article in China, far away from my home in the United States. You might wonder what I do to remember my mom on Mother’s Day. Well, I certainly call her to say “Happy Mother's Day” and promise that I will visit home soon. I still remember the first time I forget Mother’s Day. When I finally figured it out, I asked, “Why does mom get a special holiday? Why isn’t there a Children’s Day for us? My mom explained, in that way that only moms seem to be able in explain, “Because every day is Children’s Day !” I knew that I had messed up. I thought about all the time and love my mom had given me. I thought about the food she had made, the toys she had brought and the long hours she had spent with me. There might not be a perfect mom, but there is mom’s love, which can fix anything. After that day, for 364 days, I was looking forward to the next Mother's Day.

That was the first year I forgot Mother's Day. It was also the last year I forgot. Are you struggling to consider what to do for your mom on Mother’s Day? Common things are to write a message that thanks for the love she has given you, send her a card or buy her a gift. But the most important thing is 一DON’T FORGET!

There is a beautiful country in South America. It’s in the shape of a heart. The country is Brazil.

Carnival (狂歡節(jié)) is the most famous holiday in Brazil. 1. It is important to people because it’s a time of happiness, freedom, and almost a whole week without work.

2. People in many countries celebrate Carnival but the celebration in Brazil is the most famous. During the festival, people wear colorful costumes, go out into the streets and dance with their friends, relatives or strangers.

3. During the holiday, people close shops and come out on the streets to celebrate life. There are many different Samba schools. They make a parade (游行) to show their music, art pieces and hand-made cars. 4. Every year the parade tells a different story. Each city has one or more schools like this.

I like Carnival, but I don’t agree that the party should keep going on. 5. Unluckily, some people aren’t friendly and give it a bad name, leaving a bad impression (影響) of this holiday, but it is the only national holiday that makes all different kinds of people stay together.

More than its influence on health, not getting enough sleep can lead to car accidents or other mistakes. Here are what sleep researchers have found about how to sleep.

How much sleep do we actually need?

It is known that all of us naturally need no less than 8 hours of sleep per night. When we sleep below six hours per 24, we’re at an increased risk of health problems. Some of us think we can make up any of those hours lost during the week on the weekends. Suddenly there is no storage system for sleep in the brain.

Can we train ourselves to need less sleep?

As a study in 1964, a 17- year- old boy named Randy Gardener stayed awake for 264 hours. How many people could do anything close to that without dying?

When you are reading this, you might say you usually get 6 hours of sleep and feel just fine . Sleep experts often compare people without enough sleep to drunk drivers: They don't get behind the wheel thinking .They are probably going to kill someone.

Can we drink coffee instead of sleeping?

Coffee can keep us awake. Remember, too much coffee may throw off our sleep and energy cycles. So avoid caffeine for 4 to 6 hours before bedtime.

Does a sense of purpose connect with sleep quality?

A new research suggests a kind of strong connection between purpose in life and sleep. People who have a great sense of purpose usually have better physical and mental health, which in turn explains their higher quality sleep. Perhaps developing a sense of purpose in life could be as useful at improving sleep as the healthy habits above.
