Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 55 I got when I was in high school．

The test was the last one of the term． I remember waiting nervously as my teacher Mr． Right gave out our papers one after another． It was a rather difficult test． I heard my classmates groaning（叹息），and I could guess by the groans that the scores were not looking good．

Mr Right put my paper on my desk． There in big red numbers， circled to catch attention， was my score， 55! I let my head go down， and covered the score up quickly． A 55 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see． "The scores were not very good， none of you passed，" Mr Right said． "The highest score in the class was a 55．"

A 55． That's me! Suddenly I didn't feel so bad． I had the highest score． I was getting a little better．

I walked home alone that day with the low but high score． My mother knew that I had a big test that day and asked me as soon as I got home， "How did you do in your test？ ""I got 55， "I said．A frown （皱眉） appeared on my mother's face I knew I had to explain at once． "But Mum， I had the highest score in the class， "I said proudly． "You failed， Dave! "my mother replied． "But it's the highest! "I insisted （坚持）． "I don't care what scores others had， you failed． The important thing is what you do! "my mother said in a strong way．

For years， my mother was always in that way． She didn't care what others did， only cared what I did and that I did it excellently． My mother's words have made a big difference to my life．

Sleep plays an important role in brain（大脑）development．Children should get enough sleep．（1）　　A study says that because of being short of sleep，it is much harder for children to do something carefully．And also they become forgetful and easy to make mistakes．Another study shows that the right amount of night﹣time sleep is just as important for children's development as healthy eating and taking exercise．

（2）　　In general a younger child needs more sleep than an older one．Children at the age of 5﹣11 will need 10﹣12 hours of sleep a night while children at the age of more than 11 will need less hours

In fact，many parents don't know how to help their children get enough sleep．Here is something you can do．For children at the age of 5﹣11，a 30﹣40 minutes routine（常规）before sleep is helpful．（3）　　In the activities，children relax and enjoy themselves a lot，and they will go to sleep more easily．

Children at the age of more than 11 may go to bed late in the evening，talking with friends online，playing games or watching TV．（4）　　And even they will be tired during the day．So limit（限制）your children's use of the Internet，games and the TV before they go to bed．（5）　　．
