when my mother calls, "Herbert! It"s seven o"clock! Get up!" Herbert answers, "I"m coming!" and goes
right back to sleep. I"m not at all like my brother. I don"t like to go to bed at night but I don"t mind getting
up in the morning. I usually wake up before my mother calls me. I jump out of bed and go into the bathroom
to take a shower. I get dressed, brush my teeth, comb my hair, and get ready to go downstairs for breakfast
as soon as my mother calls. But not Herbert. He just sleeps. A military band (军乐队) in our bedroom could
not wake him up. I call him and say, "Get up! Mum will be up here to pull you out of bed if you don"t get up
immediately!" But he just sleeps. After calling a few more times my mother has to come upstairs and pull
Herbert out of bed. It"s that way every day with my little brother. Perhaps some day he"ll learn to get up on
time, but I really don"t think so.

in the day. He became very worried, so he went to see his doctor.
"Can you help me, doctor?" he asked. I slept so well, but now I slept less than two hours at night.
The doctor looked him very carefully, gave him some tests, asked him to work less hard, and told
him to take some medicine to help him. He said he was sure that he was not seriously ill, and that he
would soon be better.
But the businessman grew worse instead of better. He slept even less than before at night and was
still falling asleep in his office. He visited the doctor again and again and it took the doctor a long time
to find out the reason: the businessman"s wife was giving him the sleeping medicine in the morning and
the ones to keep him awake at night.
