三. Article

  When in college, I used to sleep for nine hours every day, but now I can only sleep for about six hours if I want to finish my job on time. I usually feel tied at work, and sometimes I even forget what I suppose to do. I think the most important thing for me now is to improve my work efficiency. By doing so, I can set aside at least one hour a day for sports , which  will make me more healthy and energetic.
