Experts (专家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger (手指) with his eyes still closed, begging(请求) for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students — “early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning.
A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.
Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class.

The giraffe is the tallest modern land animal. It can be over 5. 5 meters tall. Its neck bone may be 1. 9 meters long. Yet the giraffe has only seven bones in its neck, the same number as in the human. Even a small bird has many more bones in its neck than in a tall giraffe. Each bone in a giraffe’s neck is very long, while the bones in a human’s neck are small. That makes the difference. A female giraffe gives birth to one baby at a time. The baby, called a calf, is about 1. 9 meters tall at birth. By the age of eight it is full-grown. The giraffe can live for 30 years; the giraffe is good at running; it can run 30 kilometers per hour. The giraffe likes to live together, usually 7-10 a group. The giraffe eats mostly leaves. Because it has a long neck, it can reach the leaves high up on the trees.

Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, and in particular (尤其是) their parents, don't know them as well as their friends do! In large families, it is quite normal (正常) for brothers and sisters to fight (打架) with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice.
It is very important for a teenager to have a good friend or a circle (圈子) of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend much time talking to each other on the phone. This communication is very important in children's growing up, because friends can discuss things that are difficult to discuss with their family members.
However, parents often try to choose their children's friends for them. Some parents even stop their children from seeing their good friends. The question of "choice" is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions
Who choose (选择) your friends Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you
Have you got a good friend your parents don't like

五、 It’s our duty to save water
The lack of water is one of the biggest problems in the world. Though water covers 70% of the earth’s surface, fresh water covers only 1% of the earth’s surface. As we all know, the water we use is the most important natural resource on the earth. We can’t live without water. The amount of water which is suitable for drink is less and less because of the water pollution. But some people don’t care about it. They waste a lot of water in their daily life. Even worse, they pour dirty water into rivers. They throw rubbish into rivers, too. Many rivers and lakes are seriously polluted. Something must be done to stop the pollution. Only in this way can we live happily. If we don’t save water, the last drop of water will be a teardrop of us.
