    Many people think that TV programs have little or no educational value (教育意义). It is true that lots of programs are meaningless. However, some programs are good and we learn many things from them. Here are few of my favorite programs.

    Yasutaro Koide, the world's oldest man, died at the age of 113, in Nagoya, Japan on January 19, 2016. But along with his many years, Koide also left us with a piece of advice for a long and fruitful life.

    Koide was born on March 13, 1903. He learned sewing and worked as a tailor(裁缝) for a men's clothes shop in most of his life. He moved to live with his daughter when he was 107 years old. When he turned 110, Koide could still read newspapers without glasses and could eat well without dentures(假牙). In August, 2015, Guinness World Records confirmed(认证) that he was the world's oldest man.

    Koide always loved sitting in front of his sewing machine, enjoying making all kinds of clothes by hand. Being a tailor was his only and last job before his death.

    When he was given the world record in 2015, he told reporters about his secret of living a long life, "No smoking or overdrinking! Be happy about everything. Never overdo things. Work and live with happiness.

    Sometimes talent runs in families. Let's look at some famous (著名的) brothers and sisters.

Jamie became a professional player in 2004, one year before his younger brother Andy. But Andy wins more competitions than his brother!

She soon became famous all over the world. Dannii is younger than Kylie. She is also taller than her sister and she has darker hair. She began singing after Kylie, but she is also very famous. Dannii is also famous as a judge (评判员) on TV talent shows. Sometimes Kylie and Dannii sing together, and they sing really well.

    People spend almost a third of their lives doing one thing-sleeping. Every year, there is a special ay for people around the world to celebrate the importance of good and healthy sleep-World Sleep Day.

    Sleep is like food for the brain.

    People of different ages need different amounts (数量) of sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation (国家睡眠基金会) in the US, adults should get seven to eight hours of sleep night. And school-aged children may need more than ten hours of sleep.

     The China Youth and Children Research Center said that about 80 percent of middle school students don't get enough sleep. It has influenced students' school life. They can't pay attention in class or do well in sports.

    To solve this problem, scientists advise that students should get less schoolwork and more time to sleep. Good sleep habits help lot. For example, try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends and during holidays.
