Do you get enough sleep? With so much homework it's often difficult to get the rest you need. But you need to try， because sleep keeps you healthy and it stops you getting fat.
Recently， a group of US scientists did a study (調查) of kids aged between 8 and 13. The study found that if kids sleep for just one extra (額外的) hour each day, the chance of their getting fat is cut by about 30 percent .
Why? When people don't get enough sleep, they become tired. When they are tired, they don't exercise enough. Also， kids like snacks: If they are awake (醒著的) an extra hour or two each day，they have more time to eat snacks or other unhealthy foods.
So， how much sleep should you get? Scientists suggest 10 to 11 hours a night for kids aged 5 to 12. For older kids, eight to nine hours will do.

In America, most people don’t get enough sleep. Children aged 5 to 12 are advised to sleep 10 to 11 hours every night, but most of them can’t sleep that long. A study found that about 41 million American workers got less than six hours of sleep every night. Scientists worry that parents are passing their bad sleeping habits down to their children.
In the study, Reut Gruber and some other scientists either added or reduced on hour of sleep for healthy children aged 7 to 11. They watched the children for five nights. They wanted to know if the amount of sleep can affect a child’s behavior.
Before the study began, students were asked to sleep the same amount of hours as usual. Their teachers were asked to record their behavior. After five nights of the records, scientists found that those who slept one hour less behaved worse than those who slept one hour more. Students with less sleep were more likely to feel sad and had more problems paying attention.
The scientists chose to study children in their homes instead of in a laboratory, because they wanted to find out how everyday changes might affect children’s behavior at school. “In the study, nobody became a talent, and nobody became crazy. But small changes in children can really make a big difference,” says Gruber.

It seems to be strange to you there is a blind spot(盲點)on the eyes,  Here is an interesting experiment(實驗)that can make something disappear, when one eye is open.
Make a card about the size of a postcard and write two English letters L and R on it, Lon the left and R on the right. First, hold the card about 80 cm away and you see both the letters.  Then close your right eye and look at the letter R only with your left eye. And now, as you move the card slowly towards you, you' 11 find the letter L disappearing. But if you move the card nearer to your face, the letter will be seen again. Now do the same experiment with your left eye closed, you'll find the letter R disappearing.
Why does the letter disappear? It is because there is a blind spot on the eye. When the image（影像）of the letter falls on the blind spot,  it won't be seen.  That is why either of the letters disappears．
小題1:The writer of the passage thinks that_______ there is a blind spot on the eye.

C．your left eye is not open	D．you move it close to your eye

小題4:In which order(順序)should you do the experiment?
①Hold the card ②Move the card nearer ③Close your right eye
④write two English letters ⑤Look at the letter R ⑥Make a card

A．④⑥①②③⑤	B．①③⑥④⑤②
C．⑥①④③②⑤	D．⑥④①③⑤②

小題5:The passage mainly tells us_______.

A．how to find the blind spot	B．an interesting experiment
