One day last winter，my dad and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus（馬戲表演）．Finally，there was only one family in front of us．There were eight children．All were perhaps under the age of 12．You could tell that they didn't have much money．Their clothes were not expensive but clean．All of them were standing in line，two by two behind their parents．I could feel that the children had never seen the circus before．They were very excited．

The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted．He proudly answered，“Eight children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets so that I can take my family to the circus．” The ticket lady answered the price．The man's wife looked sad．The father asked again in surprise．“How much did you say?” The ticket lady said the price again．The man didn't have enough money．

How could he tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money? At that time，my dad put his hand in his pocket，pulled out twenty dollars and dropped（掉）it on the ground（In fact，we were not rich）．

My dad picked up the money and said to the father，“Excuse me，sir．This fell out of your pocket．” The man knew what happened at once．He looked at my dad and took my dad's hands．He was so thankful that he couldn't say a word．

My dad and I went back home．We didn't see the circus，but I would never forget that day．

Sleep

Babies sleep about eighteen hours a day．Mrs. Thatcher and Napoleon both said they only needed to do it three or four hours a night．Sleep．No one can live without it．But how much do we really need?

Research（研究）by the National Sleep Foundation in Washington says that we all need eight hours' sleep every night．Scientists have found that people who sleep for less than six and a half hours a night are more often ill than people who sleep for eight hours．Going without sleep also increases（增加）the chance of serious illness．Workaholics（工作狂）who sleep for less than five hours often die young，and do less well at work．

The scientists found that adults（成年人）usually sleep for seven hours a night，with 32% sleeping less than six hours．

It also says that the idea that we need less sleep as we get older is completely untrue．“People have no idea how important sleep is to their lives，” Dr Thomas Roth，director of the Foundation says．“Good health needs good sleep．”

“But not too much of it，”says Professor Jim Horne of Loughborough University．“Sleep is like food and drink，”he believes，“you would always like to have a little bit more，but that doesn’t mean you need it．” Professor Home studied a group of people who could spend as many hours as they wanted in bed，after ten hours they didn't find it any easier to get up in the morning．And people who sleep for more than nine hours a night die younger than people who usually sleep for seven or eight!

Street Markets around the World

There are many ways of shopping．You can shop by telephone，by post or through your home computer，but for many people，the most exciting way to shop is also the most traditional--at a street market．You can find markets anywhere in the world．Here are four of them：

There are many “floating markets” in Asia；perhaps the most unusual one is in Thailand（泰國），at a place called Damnoen Saduak．It's open from six in the morning to the noon every day．People sell fresh fruit from their boats．

Many Belgians（比利時人）say that the Grand Place is the most beautiful square in the world．It is the home of a colorful flower market．It's open every day except Monday．On Monday，instead of flowers，there's a wonderful bird market!

One of the world's most famous markets is in Mexico City（墨西哥城）--the Sonora Market．You can buy toys，birds, herbs and medicine．There are all kinds of things．It’s open every day from early in the morning till late at night．

In England，every weekend，thousands of young people from all over London travel to the Camden Market--it's the place to go for street fashion，CDs and tapes．Many people also go there for fun．
