How much sleep according to behavior depressed ideal should teens get every night? onaverage published reach Ideal Sleeping for Health Good sleep habits are important for good health. But how much sleep is ideal? Actually, it depends on a person's age According to sleep scientists, younger people need the most sleep, and older people need less sleep, That may not surprise you, but the problem is that teens, on average, do not sleep enough, In 2016, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine published anew report. It said that teens 13-18 years old should sleep 8-10 hours every day. Many scientists believe that if teens don’t get enough sleep, they might become depressed, or have behavior or learning problems. Many teens may not sleep enough because their body clock starts to change. When you're 10 years old, your body might tell you that you're tired around 8 or 9 pm. But when you reach 13 or 14, your body clock moves about two hours. Your body starts to tell you that you're tired around 10 or 11 = ppm, It takes time to get used to this change, and teens often feel sleepy in the morning. Unfortunately, the beginning of the school day in the ULS.A., and in many parts of the world, does not match the need for teen sleep, If teens fall asleep at 10 or 11 pm. and wake up around 6 a.m. for school, on average they may only get 7-8 hours of sleep. Some high schools in the U.S.A. have changed their schedule because of this. Instead of starting at 7:30 a.m, for example, they are starting around 8:30. @ 00k at the passage.

Students at this school call their teachers by their first names. Anna shouts “Moi” to her friends, too, when she arrives at school at 7:45 in the morning, She's been a student there since first grade, so she knows everybody. Anna's school is different from most schools in Europe and the United States. First, Anna and her classmates decide, along with their teacher, what their weekly activities will be. Also, students work at their own pace and don’t always do the same things. Some may be doing math, and others might be doing something practical. This month, Anna has practiced cooking and making a magazine in different workshops. ‘Anna and her classmates don't learn by memorizing facts. Working together and gathering information is more important in this system. They ask their teacher for help whenever they need it. Students are generally very focused and active, and the teacher doesn't have to tell them to behave Chores have always been part of the curriculum at Anna‘s school. They include taking care of plants, collecting trash, recycling, and composting. Students also help in the library and in the kitchen. School is over by two o'clock. Most parents work, so in the afternoon, there are clubs and hobby groups before students go home. Students can study Japanese, learn an instrument, and do arts and crafts.

Since then, it has grown to more than 5,000 participants from twenty-seven different countries. Each summer, 350 new “Seeds” from countries in conflict are carefully chosen by the Seeds of Peace. These teenagers attend the Seeds of Peace international summer camp, where they meet and live with teenagers whose countries are “enemy” countries. The camp is a neutral environment where young people can discuss the issues between their countries and talk about their personal experiences. After the summer camp is over, these teenagers return to their countries. They go home not only with memories of new friendships, but also with the idea that they can be leaders who can work together for a better future for themselves and for the whole world, They've learned that the fighting around them doesn’t have to go on forever.

MARISSA MOBLEY’S by Milan Norman Marissa Mobley walked into the kitchen and said, “I'm home.” She didn't sound happy. Mrs. Mobley looked at Marissa. “Is something wrong?” she asked. “You don’t sound happy.” “Oh, nothing, Mom,” Marissa replied. “I just have a lot of homework,” Mrs. Mobley looked worried. “Are you sure you're OK?" she asked again. “Umm, yeah, Mom. I've just been doing too much at school lately. So I'm tired. That’s all,” Marissa Said as she walked into her room and closed the door. Marissa’s brother, Leo, knocked on Marissa’s door. “Hey, what's up?” asked Leo. “Something's wrong. I can see it in your face.” “Well,” said Marissa, finally, “can you keep a secret? I have a problem at school. It's a real dilemma. You know Dan, right?” “Dan? Yeah, I know him," said Leo. “He's a funny guy.” “Well, I don’t think he’s so funny. At least not this week,” Marissa said. “Listen to this. He asked me to help him cheat on our-math test on Friday.” 30 Unit 3 fm = SWhat?" Leo asked. “[ guess Dan's grades in math aren't very good this term,” said Marissa. “If he doesn't do well in the test, he won't be able to play for the basketball team anymore. He sits next to me in math, and he knows I do well in tests. He wants me to make it easy for him to see my paper during the test.” “Seriously?” said Leo. “That's not good.” “T know," said Marissa, sounding more and more upset. “I've been thinking about it all week, and it's bothering me a lot. I'd like to help Dan, but helping him cheat really isn't helping him! I just can’t do it!” “Of course you can't!" her brother said. “If a boy asks you to help him cheat ina test, you should tell your teacher!” “Tell my teacher? If I do that, Dan will get into big trouble,” said Marissa. “But if you help him cheat, you'll be cheating, too, Marissa,” said Leo. Marissa sighed. After a minute, she smiled and looked at her brother. “I know!” she said. “What are you going to do?” Leo asked. “Wait and see,” Marissa answered. Then she picked up her cell phone.

Unit3. 33acceptable according to _ based on ethical ethics. excuse harmless morally _ perspective J ° respectful traits treat Listen and read. What's ethical behavior? The saying "Treat others the way you'd want them to treat you' isn’t hard to understand, It means that you should behave toward others the way you'd want thern to behave toward you. It sounds simple, but it isn't always simple to do. If everyone followed this advice, the world would be a much better place. Do you know what ethics are? Of course you do. You make choices based on ethics all the time. Ethics tell you what's right or wrong, fair or unfair, acceptable or unacceptable in a situation Choosing to do the right thing is ethical behavior. The word ethics comes from the Greek word ethos, which means “character”. Our character is all of our traits and qualities taken together. It helps us decide what's right or wrong. What kind of character do you have? Are you respectful of your classmates? Would you cheat in a test to make sure you pass? Would you tell a “harmless” lie in order to avoid hurting someone's feelings? Would you lie to someone to get out of trouble? These are all questions of ethics. How can you choose ethical behavior in a difficult situation? You can begin by asking yourself a few questions, but your answers must be honest. The first question is, “if | do it, will | feel bad afterward?" If we do something that's morally wrong, we'll feel guilty about it, even if we can find excuses for our actions. The second question is, If | do it, will hurt somebody?" If the answer is yes, then it might not be the right thing to do. You can also ask, “How would | judge someone else who did the same thing? What would my mom or dad say about it?" This helps us see things from the right perspective. And a final, but very important question is, "What's my gut feeling about it? Does it feel right?” This can give you a good idea of whether your behavior is ethical Behaving according to your ethics isn't always the easiest thing to do, but it's always the right thing to do. e Look at the passage. Read and say truic or false, 1 Ifyou want to make an ethical decision, you need to be honest with yourself, 2. If we can find @ good excuse for our actions, we won't feel guilty. 3. Following our ethics is sometimes difficult, but we should always try to do it. 34 Unit 3e Connection | Around the World Twill learn about proverbs from around the world CONTENT Y moss proverb reop regret Proverbs from — = “soving? "scund advice sow Around the World Every culture has its own proverbs. Proverbs are short sayings about life that are passed on from generation to generation. They go back tens, hundreds, even thousands of years, and sum up the practical experience of the people who use them. Because proverbs give sound advice, they help us make decisions. The Chinese proverb 1___is a good example. Anyone who's about to make a hasty decision, without weighing the pros and cons first, is warned of the horrible consequences of a bad choice. Sometimes proverbs can seem to have different meanings. The English proverb 2____is one example. Some think that the proverb is a warning for people who keep moving and never settle down, If these people “gather no moss,” then it means they haven't achieved anything. Others think that the proverb is a warning for people who never do anything. Ifyou don't move and change with the times, you'll become like an ald mossy piece of rock. We often find that there are similar proverbs across cultures: Maybe this is because proverbs have traveled and have been translated from one language to another, or maybe it's because they're just common sense. An expression similar to 3_____ appears in many languages, and it means that you'll get what you give. One proverb in Malaysia, where crocodiles are common, is¢. Whatever advice they give, one thing that all proverbs teach us is that although societies are changing and becoming more advanced every day, there are some basic facts about life and human nature that'll never change. a | (@Q) Read the passage quickly and put the proverbs o-d in the correct place.
