Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport (机场) is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off（起飞）and it is often late. You can’t open the windows. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast, but it still takes you hours to go out of the airport and into the city.
I like taking the train. I think trains are safe (安全的). Train stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a lot of time.
I also like cars. You can start your journey (旅行) when you want to, and you don’t need to go to a train station or a bus stop. Also you can take many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.Why do many people like to travel by plane?

What does Beijing's Palace Museum look like at night？ Many people don't know the answer to this question， as it closes at around 4： 30 p．m．in winter and 5： 00 p．m．in summer． However， to celebrate the Lantern Festival， Beijing′s Palace Museum opened its door to the public after dark﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣for two nights only． That's a first in 94 years!
Although people could get free tickets on the museum's website， it was difficult to get a ticket．The website even stopped working for a while because too many people visited it at the same time．
Zhang Zhifu， a 77﹣year﹣old woman， received a ticket from the museum as a gift． "I grew up in Beijing and I visit the Palace Museum every year， but I never got to see it at night． It is truly an honor，"she said．

A farmer had a friend and his friend was famous for growing wonderful apple trees．
One day， the farmer's friend gave him a young apple tree and told him to take it home and plant it．
The farmer loved the gift． But when he got home， he did not know where to plant it． He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road， strangers would steal the apples． If he planted the tree in one of his fields， his neighbors would come at night and steal the apples． If he planted the tree near his house， his children would take the apples． Finally he planted the tree in his wood．Nobody could see it， but there was no sunlight in his wood， the tree soon died．
Later， the friend asked the farmer why he planted the tree in such a poor place． " What's the difference？"the farmer said angrily． "If I plant the tree near the road， strangers may steal the apples．If I plant the tree in one of my fields， my neighbors may come at night and steal the apples． If I plant the tree near my house， my children may take the apples．"
"Yes， "said the friend， ""but at least someone could enjoy the apples． Now no one could eat the apples， and the apple tree died!"

There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food． taking exercise and getting medical help． But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep eight hours or more every night． The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are． The longer sleep you need． But regardless of（不管）age， some people need to sleep more while for some a few hours is enough．
The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough．According to the World Health Organization over half the people in the world may be sleep﹣deprived． Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents． In the United States alone， sleepy drivers cause at least 100，000 traffic accidents a year． Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure（血压）．
Why are so many people sleep﹣deprived？ Part of the reasons may be cultural． In the American culture， people put a higher value on work than on sleep． In fact， peopele who sleep a lot are usually seen as "lazy"． Also， you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don't have much time to sleep． they only sleep four or five hours a night． It seems that the less you sleep， the more work you'll do．
How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep？ Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr． James Maas． an expert（专家） in sleep． He says ，"Sleep is like a credit （信用卡） card． When you sleep less． you are only borrowing time． You always have to pay it back． The more hours you don't sleep， the more hours you should't sleep to "pay back" the hours on your 'sleep credit card．'"
For those who value work more than sleep， they should listen to what a famous person once said． "Don't think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night． That is a foolish（愚蠢的） idea which is held by people who have no imagination． You will be able to do more．"
