My friend named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present．On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office，a lovely boy was walking around the shining car．"Is this your car，sir？"He asked．
Paul answered．"Yes，my brother gave in to me for Christmas．"The boy was surprised"You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing？Sir，I wish…"He hesitated（犹豫）．Of course Paul knew what the boy wanted，but what the boy said surprised him greatly．"I wish"，the boy want on，"that I could be a brother like that．"Paul looked at the boy in surprise，and then he said"Would you like to take a ride in my car？""Oh，yes．I'd love to．"The boy answered．
After a short ride，the boy turned and with his eyes shining，said"Sir，would you mind stopping in front of my house？"
Paul smiled a little．He thought he knew what the boy wanted．He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car．But Paul was wrong again，"Will you stop where those two stairs are？"the boy asked．
He went up to the stairs．Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back，but he was not comming fast．He was carrying his little crippled（残疾的）brother．He sat on the stair and pointed to the car．
"There he is，Buddy，just like I told you upstairs．His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a dollar．And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Chritmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about．"
Paul got out and lifted Buddy to the front seat of his car．The shining﹣eyed elder brother climbed in behind him and the three began an unforgettable holiday ride．

Clouds
On a beautiful spring afternoon，
I relax﹣and lie down
On the soft green grass．
Breathing in the fresh smell that I can feel all around．
My attention is taken up to the clouds．
For up there in the bright blue sky
Is a fluffy white world of cotton candy animals
And castles built with marshmallow bricks
But I must be creative and take the time
To bring this world into focus，
So I take a breath．
And squint my eyes just a little bit．
And before I know it﹣there they are﹣A big bear
Soft as a pillow， quietly curls up to sleep．
As a tiny， cotton ball mouse
Jumps out from a lion's house．
What a real to spend my afternoon
With these newly found friends moving by !

Put on your T﹣shirt and shorts. It's （hot） than yesterday.
"I'm going to bed earlier tomorrow! "But no matter how we decide， there are still many chances that we break our promises．
This behavior is called" bedtime procrastination"（睡眠拖延症）， and results from being short of self﹣control and our body clock．
Bedtime procrastination is a common problem． According to a study， Among 2， 400 people， 53 percent of them couldn't follow their sleeping time they had planned， delaying（#fE R ）it at least twice a week． They delayed bedtime not because they liked to stay up late， but they couldn't stop doing some other things．
Accordingly， People who usually have trouble resisting temptations（抵制诱惑） and adhering to their intentions（坚持己见） are more likely to delay going to bed．
However， scientists think being short of self﹣control is not the only problem． Our body clock also lays an important role when it comes to bedtime．
In order to check the influence of the body clock on sleep， scientists studied the sleep patterns （t模式）of 108 people． It was found that those who got up late are more likely to delay their bedtime than those who woke up early every morning．
And more surprisingly， night owls（夜猫子）would go to bed late at the very beginning of the weekday， even though they had to get up early for work and school． It's their special body clock that plays a part in delaying their bedtime．
People always think that bedtime procrastination isn't a big problem， but the choices we make that affect （影响）our sleep could finally be pretty important for our health．
