I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning. ‎ I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places that I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then. ‎ The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did no :come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times. ”‎ My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews ‎ with immigration (移民)officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.‎ From my experiences I have learned one important rule; something good is certain to happen in the end if you do not give up, and just wait a little!

But I can hear my neighbor’s alarm clock ringing non-stop every morning and I doubt he gets to work ‎ on time. ‎ A lot of noise comes from his flat in the evening.

These inside clocks run to a different schedule in “larks” and “owls”.

It could help us lead a healthier life. ‎ A US professor has studied sleeping patterns and thinks work times should be changed and made more individual to fit in with our chronotypes. ‎ And he has advice for those who can’t choose their working hours:“If that’s not possible, we should be more careful about light exposure,” says the professor. “You should try to go to work not in a covered vehicle but on a bike.
