According to the National Sleep Foundation in the US, adults need seven to nine hours of sleep every night. For students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night.

Lack of sleep affects a person’s life greatly. Students without enough sleep may get poor grades. They cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports.

April 5 marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. In 1997, the movie Titanic was a huge hit all around the world. Now, the 3-D version of the movie will come to Chinese theaters on April 10.
