Triathlon is a race in which each person swims, rides a bicycle and runs over very long distances. It has been held ten times in Hope Town. Sam, aged 20, finished nine races with his younger brother Luke. Every race was a victory for them. Luke can’t walk, talk or feed himself because of a rare brain illness since birth. But Sam wants his brother to know what it feels like to be part of a sport instead of having to sit and watch. A local TV journalist interviewed Sam after he received the Town Hero Award.
(J=Journalist, S=Sam)
J: How did you get the idea to include Luke in these events?
S: When I was ten, my mom showed me a video of two young men from another city doing triathlons. One of the men had a condition like Luke has. I got the idea from that.
J: What’s it like having Luke along?
S: I feel good and proud during the whole triathlon, for I’m giving something to Luke. He can experience things any other man would.
J: What do you get from him?
S: It’s the smile on Luke’s face. That smile brightens me. The feeling of knowing that I’ve done something for him is unbelievable.
J: When you received the Town Hero Award, you talked about the importance of changing the way you see things. What did you mean?
S: People see Luke very differently: “Oh, he can’t do something like that. He’s disabled.” But if you just change how you see things, you can see there are many possibilities where Luke can do swimming, biking or even triathlons, like we do.
J: What do you want to share with other young men?
S: ________

Experts（专家）say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger（手指） with his eyes still closed, begging（请求）for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students “early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning.
A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker（虚弱）than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.
