27、ally sleep. On the other hand, animals such as bears sleep for 4 or 5 months every year.The amount of sleep that a human being needs depends on age, tile individual and possibly race. For example, doctors think pre-school children need between 10 and 12 hours a night; school children between 9 and 1
28、1 hours; and adults between 7 and 9 hours. There are cases of old people who only sleep between 2 and 3 hours a day and continue to be active and healthy.

29、nown whether mental activity (except dreaming) occurs when a person is asleep. However, it is certainly true that some people can wake up at a particular time. There are also stories about scientists who solve difficult problems during sleep, because their subconscious (潜意识的) minds continue working

34、world is in danger. It is hoped that every government should act quickly in order to conserve (保护) nature. Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1,300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only 866. The others have been destroyed by modem man and his technology
35、 We are changing the earth, the air and the water, and everything that grows and lives We cannot live without these things either.What will happen in the future?

36、 A lot of them know that conservation is necessary. Many are helping to save our world. In some countries young people spend their spare time as “conservation volunteers“. They plant trees, build bridges across rivers in forests, and so on. In a small town in United States a large group of girls cle
37、aned the banks of eleven kilometers of their rivers. Young people may hear about conservation through a record called “No Ones Going to Change Our World“.
