Though times have changed， falling asleep in class is still a common occurrence（常事）among teenagers．
Why do students sometimes fall asleep in class？ An obvious reason is lack of sleep． However， there are also causes for getting too little sleep．
Homework is a daily occurrence for most students， one that can take three
to four hours per night． A teenager who wants to be able to take part in
any activity besides homework must stay up late to fit everything in． Club
activities， sports， computer﹣game playing， and TV viewing，for example，all contribute to （促成） teens having less time for both homework and sleep．Sometimes teens lack sleep because of after﹣school jobs that are taken on to earn extra money for college， family expenses， or simply for clothes．
Physical problems are another factor that can cause students to fall alseep in class． For example，
insomnia， which may keep a student up at night， causing exhaustion（疲惫不堪）during class hours，
is a serious problem that may require medical attention． Medical evidence also supports the idea that each person has a body clock that helps to decide his or her sleep pattern． Unluckily， these body clocks do not always work according to school timetables．
The effects of falling asleep in class can be quite serious． First of all， sleeping in class is not a good way to endear（使受喜爱） yourself to teachers． In addition， it is highly possible that other students may make jokes about those who sleep in class． However， the most harmful effect of sleeping in class is missing out on important points． In the long run， sleepers may end up failing classes．
Since teens are probably not going to deal with the problem， falling asleep in class will probably remain an all﹣too﹣common occurrence． It will continue until more teens find a way to balance their personal and social lives with school and work， while still finding enough time to sleep．

An AIDS （艾滋病）understanding program in Yunnan was started six years ago．It was held by the Chinese Red Cross．The program is a great way of making sure that people learn the facts about HIV/AIDS．It is so successful that it is running in several other provinces now．
The program not only provides care and support for the people who carry HIV/ADIS virus（病毒），but also trains young people to teach others about HIV/ADIS．In the program，the volunteers hold two﹣day classes to teach people about the virus and its links（相关）to drug use and sexual practices．They also work with students，drug（毒品）users and people who may be at risk of becoming infected（感染）by the virus．
The organizers of the program said that people knew about HIV/ADIS and how it was spread after taking part in it．HIV/ADIS was found mainly among drug users and those who had become infected through careless blood transfusion（输血）practices．Today，the number of young people becoming infected through sexual activity is increasing，so it is important to deal with this big problem．
The Chinese government predicts that unless action is taken right now，as many as 10million people could be infected with HIV/ADIS in China in the next nine years．
In June 2001，the Chinese central government announced a five﹣year plan for dealing with the spread of the disease（疾病）．This plan focuses on better education about the virus，a national system to report cases of the disease and better practices for collecting blood．

William Shakespeare is widely regarded as the most famous writer and poet of the English language and the world's excellent dramatist．He was born in England in 1564 and died in 1616．The works he left behind are made up of 38 plays，154 sonnets （a poem that must be 14 lines long and have a particular style），2 long narrative poems，and many other poems．
However，Willian Shakespeare is most famous for his plays which have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other dramatist．Some of his well﹣known plays include A Midsummer Night's Dream，The Merchant of Venice，Hamlet，Romeo and Juliet，King Lear，Macbeth，and The Tempest．
All of his works remain popular with most of the people who enjoy reading classical English．University students who study English usually have to study at least one of Shakespeare's plays．

"Just because you can't see something，that doesn't mean it's not there．"This old saying is quite meaningful for British sculptor（雕刻家） Willard．The items he creates are so small that most of them fit on the head of a pin．You can see them clearly only through a microscope（显微镜）．
Many people want to own his art pieces．He's been honoured by the Queen of England for his great art achievements．At every one of his exhibitions，the question is always the same．How does he do it？
The answer is very，very carefully．So carefully，in fact，that he actually slows his breathing down and works in between breaths．Willard usually works under a microscope using special tools that he creates．To paint his works，he uses the hair from a fly as a paintbrush．
Creating these detailed works is a very long and difficult process，and itisn't always enjoyable．"It is a terrible dream when I start but a nice dream when I finish，" he says．A single item can take at least several weeks to complete．
People have asked Willard why he chose to do something that needed effort and took time．His interest in creating small things began when he was five．He started creating houses and playgrounds for ants．Willard was not a strong student．He had difficulty in reading and spelling words．Some kids used to call him a loser． This made him feel small，so focusing on lite things helped him to feel big．The smaller his work got，the bigger he felt．A newspaper reporter said， "Willard has shown the world that he is special．Though_______ ， he___________．"
