Studying too much?

Most people work or study from Monday to Friday. The weekend is usually a time of rest. But today’s Chinese teenagers can hardly rest during the weekends.

According to a survey, 24% of the Grade 8 students in Beijing have classes at the weekend．Over 40% of the middle school students have less than eight hours’ sleep each night because of study.

And this doesn’t happen only in Beijing. Ji Chunying is a Grade 9 student in Guangzhou. The 14-year-old girl has to get up at 6:45am on Saturday. Then she has classes all the day. On Sunday, she goes to extra（額外）classes for math and physics. But Ji doesn’t complain. She says her classmates all work very hard．

Finding time to have fun

Zhao Ming, 13, is from Zhanjiang, Guangdong. Zhao’s weekend is less busy. But he still spends Saturday in school. On Sunday, after finishing homework, he plays basketball. “I feel happy because I still have time to do the things I like,” he said．Some students are much luckier. Ding Yi, a Grade 8 student from Laiwu, Shandong, is one of them. During the weekend, Ding usually gets up at 8:00am. Then she spends some time doing homework. After that she is free to go shopping or watch TV. “My teacher said I don't need to push myself too much. Learning well at school is enough,” Ding said．“I feel pretty lucky.”

As I  was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be very surprised, gently shaking his head and saying “You don’t say!” I was puzzled, and I thought , “Perhaps this is not a right thing to talk about.” So I said to him,“Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall?

“Certainly! Everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave here without seeing it. The Great Wall is wonderful!”“Yes, it is one of the wonders in the world. And people of many countries have come to visit it.” As I went on telling him more about it, he stopped me again, “You don’t say!”

Being safe in your everyday life needs knowledge. If you remember the following information, your life will be much safer.

   Don’t use earphones when running in the schoolyard or on the street. You will keep yourself from the outside world and can be easily surprised.

   Schoolbags should be carried towards the front of your body instead of putting them on your back. When buses are crowded, it is easy enough for thieves to steal the things in your bag on your back.

   If you are followed by a stranger, cross the street and go to the other way, let the stranger know that you know he or she is after you. Next, go and get help from others if it is necessary. Don’t go home directly. You are safer on the street than you are in your home or in a lift.

  If you have to take a bus to a place far away, try to get to the stop a few minutes before the buses leave. This prevents a stranger from studying you. On buses, don’t sit alone, sit behind a driver or with friends. Don’t sleep.

   Don’t play with matches(火柴）or candles, because it may cause fire. If your house catches fire and you have to escape through smoke, move on your hands and knees with your head 30 to 60 centimeters(厘米）above the floor. Please remember there is cleaner, cooler air near the floor during the fire.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容判斷正（T )誤（F).

1.If you find a stranger following you, you should go home right away.

2.You’d better sit after the driver when you take a bus alone.

3.It’s good for you to use earphones when you are running outside.

4.You shouldn’t sleep all the way although it’s a long bus trip.

5.During the fire, the cleaner and the cooler air is far from the floor.
