Expert(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, asking 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 10-year-old boy asked for more minute to sleep because__________

When you wake up every day, once again to see this beautiful world, when your parents, teachers and friends give you help, will you know how to be （71）grateful? And when you feel unlucky and make mistakes, will you still be thankful?
Yu Dan, a professor at the Beijing Normal University, made a report about Gratitude Education（感恩教育）．It will affect Chinese people, especially the teenagers．
Nowadays, some teenagers only care about things outside．They often behave badly．For example, they fight each other, use phones in class, be rude to their parents and teachers and so on．Most of them don’t know love, respect and gratefulness．
Being grateful or thankful is very important．（73） It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time as long as he lives in the world．We should learn how to face failure or bad luck bravely and to try to deal with it．As we know, “Life is a mirror．When you smile in front of it, it will also smile and so will it when you cry to it．” If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight．If you always complain about everything, you may own nothing in the end．
I think the teenagers should be grateful to life even when we are unsuccessful or unlucky．We have many reasons for being grateful．For example, being grateful is a way to communicate with adults．And it is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope．
If each of us has an attitude of being grateful, we’ll lead a better and more beautiful life．So remember, being grateful forever．

After visiting the Beijing Normal School, Madame Peng took Sasha and Malia, my mother, and me to the Forbidden City, which is right in the heart of Beijing．
For more than 2,000 years （up until 1912）, China was ruled by emperors who descended （传递）from many different dynasties, or families, who passed ruling positions on from generation to generation — and for nearly 500 years, the Forbidden City used as the emperor’s home．
Like the name suggests, the Forbidden City is large enough to be a city of its own — it includes nearly 1,000 buildings and nearly 10,000 rooms．
In 1925, the new Chinese government turned the Forbidden City into a museum so that visitors like us from all over the world can stroll （闲逛） through many of the beautiful rooms and outdoor spaces．
The Forbidden City is too large to go fully around in a single visit, but highlights include the following: The Hall of Union and Peace has almost 14,000 ornamental dragons．The Hall of Supreme Harmony is where the emperor watched birthday celebrations and coronation （加冕） ceremonies from his Dragon Throne．And then there are the Imperial Gardens, where you can walk along the paths and pavilions, admiring the beautiful rock arrangements, flowers and cypress （柏树） trees．
While we loved our visit to the Forbidden City, we only wish we had more time to see everything．But then again, I’m not sure there could ever be enough time to fully enjoy all of the art and history in this wonderful place．
