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 (虚弱) 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.

If you look at the top of your phone, you' ll usually see a little symbol that says 3G or 4G The "G" stands for the " generation"(代) of your mobile network. But the symbols will become things of the past after 5G networks fully arrive.
On March 30, Shanghai vice﹣mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X Smartphone.Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.
About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data(数据) faster than ever before. But 5G won't just bring faster mobile internet. People can use it for many other things well.
For example, 5G will help to make self﹣driving cars safer. Today's self﹣driving test cars have one problem﹣﹣lag(延迟). When the car " sees " an obstacle(障碍物), it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions. However, it will be some time before it sends and receives this information. With this kind of lag, the cars might crash because they don't receive instructions in time.With 5G, this lag will be greatly lowered, making the cars safer.
5G could also be used to power the internet of things(IoT), that is, a large online network that connects all things and people. Fast internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology.The IoT could be used in a lot of ways. For example, with IoT, your refrigerator could automatically (自动地 ) place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.

One day, I walked into a stranger as he walked by me. "Oh, excuse me." I said. He replied with a smile and said, " Please excuse me, too. I wasn't watching out for you." We apologized(道歉)and went our own ways.
Later that day, when I was cooking, my daughter was standing too close to me. When I turned to reach for some milk, I nearly knocked her over. " Move out of the way." I shouted. She walked away sadly. But I didn't feel like I had to apologize to her.
While I was in bed that evening, my husband said to me, "Dealing with a stranger, you were polite, but with a daughter you love, you were unkind. Your daughter brought you some flowers that she picked herself this afternoon. You'll find them in the kitchen by the door. Have you seen the tears in her eyes?"
I quietly went and knelt down by my daughter's bed " Honey, I am so sorry. " I said, "Are these the flowers you picked for me?" She said, "I found them by the tree. I picked them because they're pretty like you. I knew you'd like them, especially the blue ones."I tearfully replied, "Sweetie, I'm really sorry for the way I acted today.

Few students like homework, but it is an important part of middle school life in the UK.
The UK has these rules for homework: Grades 7 and 8(ages 11 to 13): 45 to 90 minutes per day; Grade 9(ages 14 to 15): 1 to 2 hours a day.
Today, many homework tasks are done on a computer. For example, preparing reports, using the Internet or doing online tasks. So schools are usually open before and after normal hours. In this way, students without computers or the Internet at home can use the schools' facilities(设备).
Sometimes, students are given extendedlearning tasks. That means they need to do more research and analysis(分析). But however big a task is, teachers always give feedback(反馈) to help students find the areas where they can improve.
Some schools send students home with home diaries. They advise parents to check on their children's progress. Sadly, not every parent takes much interest. In a survey of 1,000 students aged 1l to 18, over 10 percent said that they did not have space at home to do homework. Almost 15 percent said their families did not support them enough.

Britain was once covered by thick forests, home to many animals which no longer live here. There were wolves, bears and wild cattle with less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.
However, all this changed. Now Britain's population has increased to 65 million. Three﹣quarters of Britain consists of fields, towns or cities. Although 25% of land is countryside,new methods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals than ever before. Britain is one of the few countries in the world without a large wild carnivore(食肉动物).
Some people want to change this. Some say that Britain needs to become more natural again and suggest trees and plants that once grew in Britain should be allowed to grow again. They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in Britain should be helped to return and live wild. They call this " rewilding".
Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years, over one million trees have been planted and there are plans for more﹣but wild animals? Some people ask if wolves will attack sheep or even humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills many people enjoy. So far, there are no wolves or bears in Britain's forests﹣but soon there might be!
