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, 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.
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.

四、阅读理解
Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.
Co mmunication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap
Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t get to your p arents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
1. The passage tells us _______ have a communication problem.
A. parents and other people
B. school kids and their parents
C. parents and children of all ages
2. The underlined phrase “cool off” in the passage means “_______”.
A. to make yourself happy
B. to get you quiet and relaxed
C. to have a good rest
3. From the passage we learn that _______.
A. parents and children should not have a generation gap
B. parents should show love and respect to their children
C. there are some good ways to bridge the generation gap。
