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 usually feel happy to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard.
But not all parents think about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her l0-year-old boy puts up one finger with his eyes still closed, begging(乞求)one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of student "Early Birds " in China, he has to get up before six every morning.
A report shows that if（如果) they don't have a good night's sleep, students will be tired(疲倦）next day. Many students have fallen asleep (入睡) during classes. Too much homework is not the only reason(原因) why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play games late in the night.
Experts ever say that students should develop (养成)good study habits. So some smart students never study late, and they can also work well in class.The l0-year-old boy begs for one more minute to sleep because _______________.

Everyone dreams of changing the world. But can teenagers really make a difference? And how can they go about it?
Michael Norton's book 365 Ways to Change the World is a good starting point. The book gives an idea or task for every single day of the year. The tasks include offering to work at a local homeless shelter (庇护所) and planting a tree.
The book says that one simple act, no matter how small, can help someone in need. It may even influence (影响) other teens to do something.
Nathan Anthony, a student at Maple High School in Modesto, California, US, agrees. “It is impossible to get anything in life without giving something to someone or working hard at school or workplace," Anthony said.
Another Maple student, Ariane Mota, has the same idea." Giving is our way of repaying those who help us," she said." Whether it is a helping hand or a donation, we should help others to make their day or life better."
But how often do teens see peers (同龄人) helping a stranger or doing something nice for someone?
According to Anthony, not a lot. He and Mota both believe this needs to be changed.
"I help my friends by telling them that their lives are better than those poorer people," Anthony said." Humor is also a great tool."
So whether you're helping to find a cure (疗法) for bad illness or simply smiling at a stranger, do something every day to help change the world for the better.365 Ways of Changing the World is a book __________.
| A．written about Michael Norton. |
| B．about what teenagers learn at school |

Which of the following does not change the world for the better?
| A．Eating a delicious meal |
| B．Telling friends that their lives are better |
| C．Helping find a cure for cancer (癌症) |

| C．Some teens | D．Millions of teens |
How often does the passage tell us to do something to change the world better?

In the sea there are many islands. In its warm waters there are some little ones. We call them “coral Islands” (珊瑚岛).
A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring of land(一圈陆地) with trees, grass, and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake inside the island.
If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful coral. You may think they are flowers. If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. In each of these holes a very small sea animal lives. These sea animals make the coral.
They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher. At last it grew out of the water.
Then the sea brought it small trees and something else. After some years, these things changed into earth. Sometimes the wind brought seeds(种子) to this earth. Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island.
The little seeds grew. In a few years there were plants all over the island. In a few more years there were trees growing there.
So you see, these islands were built little by little. The workers were very small. Do they not teach us a lesson? Can you think what the lesson is?In the sea _____.
