He found that family dynamics (动态) have much to do with how well kids sleep. Teens, who had warm relations with their parents and felt like they could talk to them or their parents were supportive of them, tended to sleep better. However, families that were going through a divorce or a remarriage tended to affect teens sleep. And problems at school also affected teens sleep. Feeling safe at school and having good relations with teachers tended to promote better sleep. As did good relationships with friends. Kids who took part in sports or other positive social activities or shared similar academic goals with their friends were also more likely to get a good nights sleep. These add up to what makes lots of sense: a general feeling of well-being helps teens sleep. If were happy and contented, were much more likely to sleep better than if were sad and anxious.Now, of course, teens can hardly resist being drawn to their computers and social networking. Maume also found that when parents were strict not only about bedtime, but also about limiting technology, kids slept better. Its a finding that seems obvious, but parents really do matter when it comes to health habits of their teenagers.Clearly, teenagers arent getting 9 to 10 hours a night, which puts them at risk for all the consequences of lack of sleep, including poor academic performance, colds and stress. 19What is the passage mainly about?A. Teens sleep is linked to their relationship with people around them.B. Lack of adequate sleep puts teens at risk of many bad consequences.C. Modern technology has something to do with teens sleep problems.D. It is necessary for teens to join in sports and positive social activities.20According to Maumes analysis, who will probably have a poor nights sleep?A. Teens who feel like talking with their parents.B. Teens who have friends sharing their dreams.C. Teens who feel contented about themselves.D. Teens who lack a sense of security at school.21 Para 5 functions as . A. a comparison B. an introductionC. a conclusionD. an addition 22 Parents are supposed to when their kids are growing up. A. continue their broken marriageB. allow children to decide when to sleepC. limit teens using new technologyD. force teens to have 10 hours sleep dailyRome had the Forum. London has Speakers Corner.

Just talk.Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, Talk to Me. they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits.They dont collect money.

We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. People will talk to us about anything: their jobs, their clothes, their childhood experiences, anything.Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take. She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went.Marcia had lost her husband to a serious disease. That was very heavy on my mind, Marcia said.
