Students at a primary school in Fuzhou，Hast China's Fujian Province were required to clean the school toilets to help them develop good habits．But some parents are strongly against the idea．They can't see the advantages of students doing such chores （杂亊）．They think that the school should provide students with a proper education，not the chance to be school cleaners．
In fact，parents，schools and society play an equally （同等地）important role in developing the character of students．It is good for schools to give students such tasks，because few of the students will do them at home．Their parents want them to do homework only．
In recent years，some parents will make mountains out of molehills when students are asked to do some chores in schools．Some complain about the teachers if their kids get hurt in schools； some even challenge the schools'teaching methods and management．As a result，many primary schools，especially those in big cities，do not let students join in outdoor activities during breaks，fearing that they might get hurt．This is bad for the development of students'best qualities．
What the primary school in Fuzhou is doing is worth praising．Doing chores can put a sense of responsibility into students'minds and teach them the spirit of rules as well as teamwork．Also，it can make students'in﹣school experiences more meaningful．

While you are at the bookstore， you may be faced with a difficult decision： e﹣books or paper books？ Each one has its advantages and disadvantages． Making the best decision depends on a number of factor （因素）．
An e﹣reader can carry a whole library wherever you go， which is great for travelers or those who always want a choice of reading material Although e﹣readers are convenient， high levels of screen brightness from an electronic device（电子设备） can cause eye problems． A study in the Information Science Research found that young people preferred e﹣readers， like smart phones or iPads． That's why most teenagers are short﹣sighted．
Many book lovers still prefer paper books and value the feeling of them． Paper books are very well designed， they look and smell good， and they carry with them a more human touch． Avid （热衷的）readers prefer reading on paper． Perhaps this is their choice because paper books give them a sense of ownership． It is reported that reading on paper rather than an electronic screen is better for memory and focus． But paper books are heavy and they are not convenient to carry．
Which is your decision， an e﹣book or a paper book？
