A Helping Hand | 89
Harriet Tubman
Harriet Tubman was an African American
hero who saved more than 300 slaves1 in the
1800s. She was brave and generous, and she
is an important person in US history.
Tubman was also a cook, a nurse, and, later, a spy for the Union army during the American
Civil War. With the army, she saved 700 slaves in South Carolina. When the war ended, she
cared for former4 slaves in her home.
Later in life, Tubman didn’t have much money. Her friend Sarah H. Bradford, a generous
author, admired her. Bradford gave Tubman the money she made from a book she wrote about
Tubman. Tubman then helped old people, too. She gave land to a church, which opened The
Harriet Tubman Home for the Aged. She died in 1913 at her home in Auburn, New York.
Now, many schools across the United States are named after Harriet Tubman, and teachers
tell her story in history classes all over the world.
B Complete the chart about Harriet Tubman with information from the article. Write full sentences. Use

Understanding Sleep
Scientists know that the brain is very active when a person is sleeping. There are four stages,
or parts, of sleep.
Stage 1 starts after you fall asleep. If there is a noise or a bright light, you wake up very easily.
In Stage 2, your brain waves are very slow, and your body gets ready for deep sleep. Stage 3
is deep sleep. It’s very difficult to wake up then. Your body rests and grows during this stage.
Stage 4 is when you dream. Your eyes move a lot, and your brain waves are fast. This stage
of sleep is very important for your memory. After Stage 4, you wake up a little, and then
Stage 1 starts again. We go through the four stages of sleep four or five times every night,
so we have many dreams in one night.
How much sleep do you need? The answer depends on your age. Babies should sleep 15 to
16 hours every day. Children and teenagers need nine or ten hours of sleep, but older people
only need six to eight hours. If you sleep for only four hours one night, you may just feel tired
the next day. But many nights of bad sleep can be bad for your health. People who don’t get
enough sleep get sick more often. And sleep is very important for learning. It’s one reason
why students should go to bed early!
