You may know about "junk food" like hamburgers. But do you know about "junk sleep"?
A British survey found that electronic products(电子产品) in teenagers bedrooms are affecting(影响) their sleep.
The survey was among(在…之间) 1,000 British children from 12 to 16. It found that 30% of them got just 4 to 7 hours of sleep every day. But doctors say they need 8 to 9 hours.
Almost 25% of the kids said they fell asleep more than once a week while watching TV, listening to music or using other electronic products.
"This is very worrying." Said Dr. Chris Idzikowski, a British expert, "We call it 'junk sleep'. It means you don't get enough sleep and the quality(质量)of the sleep is bad, too. If you don't get good rest, you don't perform well in school the next day."
The survey found that 40 % of the kids felt tired each day, with girls between 13 and 16 feeling the worst. Nearly all the teenagers have a phone, Mp4 or TV in their bedrooms. And many of them have all three.

Hot pot(火锅) and Hotpot
I'm learning English in the UK where I meet a lot of new friends and eat something delicious. Hot pot is many Chinese people's favorite food, including(包括) me. After having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes in the UK, how excited I was to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen, I seemed to smell the hot pot in the air.
To my surprise, when I stepped into the room, in front of me were still potatoes and bread. Where was the hot pot?
With many questions in my head, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with a French girl, I got to know that hot pot is completely different from hotpot. Chinese hot pot is written in two words and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.
Hotpot is made from mutton and onion. On the top there are sliced potatoes. People put it in the oven all day in a heavy pot and on a low heat. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it's easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.
Hotpot doesn't taste bad. However, I still miss hot pot, two words!
