World Sleep Day is March 21.Many experts have held a press conference (新闻发布会) in Beijing Hotel.Sleep is sometimes called “the cousin of death”.But funnily enough, it is also one of the most important things we need to stay alive.People spend almost a third of their lives doing one things: sleeping.Sleep is like food for the brain.Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop.
People of different ages need different amounts (数量) of sleep.According to the National Sleep Foundation in the US, adults need seven to nine hours of sleep every night.For students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night.

To solve this problem, scientists advise that students should get less schoolwork and more time to sleep.There are some other ways to help people get enough sleep, such as taking a 20-minutes nap (小睡) during the day.Good sleep habits are also helpful.For example, try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends and during holidays.

One day a poor man was cutting a big piece of wood near a river. Suddenly his old axe (斧头) fell into the water. He felt very sad because he lost his only axe. Then all at once a beautiful fairy （仙女）came out and asked the man what was the matter.
“I have lost my axe.” he said. “It fell into the water when I was cutting the wood.” The fairy showed him a gold（金） axe and asked, “Is this yours?” “No.” said the man.
The fairy then showed him a silver（银） axe and asked again. “Is this yours?” “No.” again answered the man. Then she showed him the old axe.
“Yes, this is mine.” called out the happy man. “I know that well enough.” said the fairy, “I only want to see if you can tell me the truth, and now I’ll give you the gold axe and the silver axe besides（除了--外） your own one.”The man with his old axe fell into the river．
