Tina graduated from college. Several days later, she got a new job. She would work in the biggest company in her city. Her friends admired her very much.

On her first workday, Tina arrived at 8：45 a. m. She took the lift to the 1lth floor, and a clerk showed her where her desk was. As a green hand, she didn’t know what to do, so she tried to talk to the girls who sat near her in the office. However, they were not friendly to her. After a while, a young boss came in. Tina was surprised that the boss was not the old man who interviewed her several days ago. The boss gave her a lot of reports to write. But when she began to write, she found that she had much trouble understanding the reports. She spent almost the whole day trying to do the work. At 5:30 pm. , it was time to go home. Although most of the reports weren’t finished, she got into the lift. On the 10th floor, she was greeted by John, the old man who interviewed her several days ago. “Tina! ” he said, “Why didn’t you work with us today?” All of a sudden, Tina realized she mistook the 11th floor for the 10th floor. “Oh, my God!” she answered, “      ” After hearing this, John couldn’t help laughing.

Bruno was a boy of eight. His father worked in a cinema and his mother worked in a shop. He lived not far from his school. He always walked there and walked home. On his way to school, he had to pass a playground. It was very wet after it rained. One day, when he got home, his clothes were all wet. His mother became angry and said, “don’t play in the water on your way home from school!”

On the next day, Bruno came back with wet and dirty（脏的）clothes. His mother became even angrier.“I’ll tell your father you come back wet again.” said his mother, “He’ll punish you, you know.”

The third day the little boy was dry when he came home.

“You’re a good boy today,” his mother said happily. “You didn’t play in the water.”

“No,” the boy said unhappily. “There were too many older boys in the water when I got there this afternoon. There wasn’t any room（空地方） for me at all.”

China has become a nation of sleepless nights. More than 300 million people say they are having trouble falling asleep at night. Because of this, some of them are turning to “sleeping assistants” for help.

As the name suggests, sleeping assistants are responsible for putting people to sleep. They help each of their clients（客户）in their own ways. Some read bedtime stories. Some chat with them by via text messages or voice calls. Others just quietly listen to their clients’ problems. This service isn’t expensive. A 15-minute chat will cost ten yuan.

The sleeping assistants are “super nice” for some users. But this is a new business after all. If you have sleeping problems, let your parents know. They’re the people who will always stand by you.
