短文聽讀 Text

   Chris was awoken from his deep sleep by his wife, Hannah. She told him it was already 6 a.m., and that he had to get up now lest he miss his train. Chris couldn’t bring himself to leave his nice, warm bed, though, so he slept until 7 a.m. As one would expect, he didn’t catch his early train. Maybe he should have booked a later train. Or maybe he should have listened to his wife and gotten out of bed sooner!

   Getting out of bed in the morning is not an easy thing to do, especially if you are not a morning person. It can be tempting to keep pressing the snooze button so that you get a few more precious minutes under the covers. However, most sleep experts agree that going back to sleep can disrupt the body clock even more. So, when the alarm goes off, get straight out of bed, lest you fall back asleep!

 

  克里斯的妻子漢娜把他從熟睡中叫醒。她告訴他已經早上六點了,他得現在起床,免得錯過火車。但是克里斯沒辦法起身離開他那美好又溫暖的床,所以他一直睡到早上七點。正如預料,他並沒有趕上早班火車。也許他該訂班次晚一點的火車。又或許他該聽妻子的話,早點起床!
