（E）   

Researchers say that nearly two thirds of children don’t get enough sleep, and this can make them more nervous and slower at school. So how long should young people sleep each night? The answer is between 8 and 10 hours. If you don’t get enough sleep at night, you’ll have less energy (能量) the next day.

A report shows that children sleep less because they have TVs and computers in their rooms, and busy parents don’t read to their younger children at night any more. The traditional “bedtime story”（催眠故事）helps children to relax and fall asleep peacefully.  

Children with TVs and computers in their bedrooms are more likely to sleep badly, and to get less than eight hours’ sleep. Even losing one hour’s sleep a night can mean that children do worse than usual at school. 

British scientists think that your brain (大脑) keeps working while you’re asleep. To show that

they are right, they have done an experiment (实验). They gave two groups of people a problem to work out. One group went to sleep, and the other group stayed awake. You want to know the result? The people who slept worked out the answer more quickly. Researchers explained that their brains were trying to find the answer while the people were asleep. So, make sure you get enough sleep tonight, and you’ll be at your best tomorrow!

根据短文内容，回答下列问题。(10分)

56. How long should the young sleep every night?

57. What does the writer think of the tradition“bedtime story”?

58. What is the result of losing one hour’s sleep a night for the children?

 My favorite thing is a set of chess pieces. It’s my birthday gift. I’ve kept it for eight years. When I was seven years old, my father bought it for me as my birthday gift. From then on, he always played chess with me, and he also taught me many useful lessons while we played chess, such as being patient and thinking twice before taking action.

Now I’m a middle school student. Though I spend little time playing chess, I never forget his words.
