    Venus is close to the earth．It is the second planet from the sun．The earth is the third planet from the sun．Venus is similar(相似的)to the earth in size and mass (质量)．It is often described as the earth's"sister"．

Scientists have been learning about Venus for a long time．First they looked at Venus through telescopes(望远镜)．But Venus is covered with thick clouds．Scientists could not see Venus well through the clouds．So they made guesses about it．

For a long time，scientists thought that Venus had water and plants．They thought Venus might have animals too．But they didn't know for sure．

Then scientists found a way to learn more about Venus．In'the 1960s，they began sending probes(航天探测器)to Venus．The probes flew through the thick clouds．They took pictures of Venus up close．They found out many things too．The probes sent the pictures and things they found out back to the scientists．

The scientists learned a lot from the probes．First they learned that most of their guesses were not right．And they learned that Venus is very hot．

After that，scientists knew they could not send people to Venus．But they still wanted to know more about it．So they sent new probes．These new probes took great pictures of the planet．The pictures showed that Venus has plains (平原)and mountains!And in some ways，Venus looks like the earth．

    It is important for each child to get enough sleep every day. Here. we'll learn more about that.

    It usually depends on(取决于) their age. Newborns of o to 3 months should sleep for about 18 hours a day. Babies of 4 to 11 months should start to sleep through the night, for 9 to 12 hours at a time. Children of 3 to 5 years should get 11 to 13 hours a day. Children of 6 to 13 need 9 to 11 hours of sleep. Teenagers(青少年) of 14 and up need 8 to 10 hours of sleep.

    Set a strict nap timetable(小睡时间表). Younger children should take a short sleep during the day. Even older children can benefit(获益) from late-afternoon naps if they don't get enough sleep at night. 

    Pay attention to screen time. Remember to ask children to tum off the television and the computer an hour before they go to bed. If possible, get them out of their bedrooms since the light from the screens can make sleep a difficult job. 

    Get children moving. Running around and playing sports are great, but children can move in other ways too. They can take a dog for a walk or go to the park-just get them out of the house and get them moving.
