Twenty years ag, I entered a cllege, but suddenly my wrld turned upside dwn n September 11, 2001. Cllege seemed less imprtant. Smewhere amng the images that flashed acrss the TV were sldiers, and I thught I shuld be ne f them.
I had the impssible task f persuading my parents that this was a gd chice. It’s nt that they weren’t prud; they were cncerned and scared. Within weeks f 9/11, I jined the Army with the supprt f my family behind me.
The lifestyle change f civilian (平民) t sldier wasn’t a smth prcess. My biggest challenge was military bearing. I smiled t much. Obviusly, sldiers dn’t smile, but I culdn’t help but smile. I did pay fr it! My “pearly white teeth” earned me plenty f extra training. I had n chice but t dig deep and push my strength and endurance (耐力) t their limits.
Befre the sun rse, we awke t begin anther day. It was painful, hrrible, tiring... and s much fun. That nn-military-bearing smile rarely left my face. I learned t lve the abslute craziness f the Army. I smiled thrugh it all.
A few mnths after graduating frm bt camp, I crssed paths with ne f my fellw sldiers. He smiled and said, “Thanks fr shwing that smiling face every day. Yu really brightened my days during the difficult times.”
What I learned frm that brief cnversatin was that even in the tughest, mst physically tiring, and sweaty situatins, a small symbl f human kindness and cnnectin ges a lng way. Smetimes, we dn’t even knw the jy we bring t thers.
I stayed in the military fr ten years. Challenges cntinued t get thrwn in my way, but I never lst my smile.

“It is OK t leave the fd cling utside befre yu hit the tw-hur mark,” says Serena Pn, nutritinist f Le Crdn Bleu’s Grand Diplma training prgram. “In fact, the sner yu can get yur leftvers in the fridge, the better.”

Sleep, cnsidered a luxury (奢侈) by many, is essential fr a persn’s wellbeing. Researchers have fund that insufficient sleep increases a persn’s risk f develping severe medical cnditins, such as besity, diabetes (糖尿病), and cardivascular (心血管的) diseases.

Even mre interesting, it was als nt sufficient fr students t just head t bed early the night befre a test. Instead, it’s the sleep yu get during the days when learning is happening that matters mst.
The time students went t bed each night was similarly imprtant. Thse wh went t bed in the early hurs f the mrning perfrmed prly, even if the ttal sleep time was the same as a higher - perfrming student. “When yu g t bed matters. Grssman says. If yu g t bed after 2, yur perfrmance starts t g dwn even if yu get the same seven hurs. S, quantity isn’t everything.”
12. What is the new finding abut sleep?
A. It’s essential fr a persn’s health.B. Sleeping less may cause besity.

Twenty years ag, I entered a cllege, but suddenly my wrld turned upside dwn n September 11, 2001. Cllege seemed less imprtant. Smewhere amng the images that flashed acrss the TV were sldiers, and I thught I shuld be ne f them.
I had the impssible task f persuading my parents that this was a gd chice. It’s nt that they weren’t prud; they were cncerned and scared. Within weeks f 9/11, I jined the Army with the supprt f my family behind me.
The lifestyle change f civilian (平民) t sldier wasn’t a smth prcess. My biggest challenge was military bearing. I smiled t much. Obviusly, sldiers dn’t smile, but I culdn’t help but smile. I did pay fr it! My “pearly white teeth” earned me plenty f extra training. I had n chice but t dig deep and push my strength and endurance (耐力) t their limits.

Sleep, cnsidered a luxury (奢侈) by many, is essential fr a persn’s wellbeing. Researchers have fund that insufficient sleep increases a persn’s risk f develping severe medical cnditins, such as besity, diabetes (糖尿病), and cardivascular (心血管的) diseases.

Even mre interesting, it was als nt sufficient fr students t just head t bed early the night befre a test. Instead, it’s the sleep yu get during the days when learning is happening that matters mst.
The time students went t bed each night was similarly imprtant. Thse wh went t bed in the early hurs f the mrning perfrmed prly, even if the ttal sleep time was the same as a higher - perfrming student. “When yu g t bed matters. Grssman says. If yu g t bed after 2, yur perfrmance starts t g dwn even if yu get the same seven hurs. S, quantity isn’t everything.”
