| Judging from recent surveys,most experts in sleep behaviour agree that there is virtually an epidemic (流行病) of sleepiness in the nation."I can't think of a single study that hasn't found Americans getting less sleep than they ought to," says Dr David.Even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest. The beginning of our sleepdeficit crisis can be traced back to the invention of the light bulb a century ago.From diary entries and our personal accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries,sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9.5 hours a night."The best sleep habits once were forced on us,when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm,and it was dark." By the 1950s and 1960s,the sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically,to between 7.5 and 8 hours,and most people had to wake to an alarm clock."People cheat in their sleep,and they don't even realize they're doing it," says Dr David."They think they're okay because they can get by on 6.5 hours, when they really need 7.5,8 or even more to feel ideally energetic." Perhaps the most merciless robber of sleep,researchers say,is the complexity of the day. Whenever pressures from work,family,friends and community increase,many people consider sleep the least expensive item on their programme."In our society,you're considered dynamic if you say you need only 5.5 hours' sleep.If you've got to get 8.5 hours,people think you lack drive and ambition." To determine the consequences of sleepdeficit,researchers have put subjects through a set of psychological and performance tests requiring them,for instance,to add columns of numbers or recall a passage read to them only minutes earlier."We've found that if you're in sleepdeficit,performance suffers," says Dr David."Shortterm memory is weakened,as are abilities to make decisions and to concentrate." |

| Hello there, I'm writing to ask you for help.It's really urgent because I'm considering running away from home.I feel like there's no way to fix the problem with my mother. Yesterday evening,we had a heated argument at home after I got home a bit late again. I had been at my friend's birthday party.I'd explained it to her but she just didn't believe me. I do know my mother loves me very much and she wants me around every day,or even every minute. But the fact is that I am 17 years old and I have my own life style.I am my parents' only child and my mother says she wants me to have the best possible chance of happiness in the future. She is always telling me to behave well when I leave home or go out.What's worse,whenever there is a cold war between my mother and me,my father often keeps silent.I am not only confused but also hurt.I don't know what to say or what to do to make things right.I think they are out of fashion and too old to know my inner part. To tell the truth,I have packed up my backpack but am still at a loss. Kate 【写作内容】 1．以约30个词概括短文的要点； 2．然后以约120个词就Kate遇到的困惑发表看法,并包括如下要点: (1)你认为Kate是否应该离家出走,为什么?
