Everyone must go to bed early（早）and get up early, or we won’t be healthy and clever.

Is this true? Perhaps（可能）it is. The body must have enough（足够）sleep. Children of your age need ten-hour sleep every day. If you don’t go to bed early, you will not have enough sleep. Then you can’t think properly（完全地）and can’t do your work properly. You’ll not be clever.

Some people go to bed late and get up late. That is not good for them. We must sleep at night when it is dark（黑的）. The dark helps us to sleep soundly. When the daytime comes, we must get up. This is the time for exercise. If you lack（缺乏）exercise, it becomes weak（虚弱的）. Exercise keeps a strong body.

Exercise helps the blood（血液）flow（流动）around inside the body. This is very important. Blood takes food to all parts of our body. The brain（大脑）also need blood, we think with our blood. If we keep our body healthy and take exercises, we can think better.

Today we find that school students hardly spend much time on sports. Is it because they aren’t interested in sports? No, they often say they have other important things to do.

         What are these important things? Tests! They have to spend much time on all kinds of tests at school. So many of them almost become bookworms(书呆子) . Books stop them from going out for sports. Because of the pressure from their parents and teachers, the students have to work harder and spend most of their time on books. As for the students, they want to get good results in order to improve their studies. So it is necessary for them to give all of their free time to their studies and stop their school sports.

         In fact, education can’t go without body exercise, because a quick mind hardly goes along with a weak(虚弱的) body. If you don’t have a strong body, you can never get anything or any great success in your life.
