I teach 15 to 18-year-olds, so I try to make my lessons as fun as possible. Most of my students try really hard in lessons and they are enthusiastic about learning English. However, I sometimes have to nudge(推)students who have fallen asleep in the middle of a lesson!One or two students fall asleep in my class every day. I solve this problem by explaining to my students that if I catch them sleeping then they have to answer a question about the day’s learning in front of the class. This has worked very well in my lessons, but I still wanted to know why I had such sleepy students.This is what I have discovered:At my school the first lesson of the day starts at 7:30 am and the last lesson does not finish until 9:30 pm. The students get 10 minutes of free time between each class, plus longer break time for their lunch and dinner. During their lunch break at about 1:30 pm, the school is quiet and the playground is deserted, because every classroom is full of students who are fast asleep. I have also found out that students are expected to attend school on the weekends for extra lessons.When I was a teenager in London, I started school at 8:30 am and finished at 3:30 pm every day. I had weekends to myself and had dinner with my family or friends, usually in my own home. Discovering how hard my students work made me more understanding about their accidental nap(打盹)in the classroom!4. What is it that upsets the author?A. Students aren’t interested in English.B.

The crab’s best friend was a swan(天鹅), who lived in the same lake.One year, every time the swan laid an egg, a snake living by the lake would come and eat it up. One day, the swan went to the crab and said, “That cruel snake eats all my eggs in the nest(窝). What can I do?”The crab decided to help his best friend. He had an idea and told his friend what they should do.By the lake, there also lived a mongoose(猫鼬). The crab and the swan caught some fish and dropped them from the mongoose’s house all the way to the snake’s house. When the mongoose came out, he saw the fish. He happily ate all of them one by one. As he ate, he kept following the fish trail to the snake’s house. Finally, the mongoose reached the house of the snake.When the snake saw the mongoose, he thought the mongoose was there to attack him. They started fighting until the snake was finally killed.Watching this behind the tree, the swan and the crab became very happy. Some days later, the mongoose, looking for more fish, came upon the swan’s nest. There the mongoose found the eggs of the swan. He immediately ate all of them.

I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care of his family.I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning. And when I bought a house several years later, my dad painted it by himself in very hot weather. All he asked was to talk to him, but I was too busy in those days.Four years ago, my dad visited me. He spent many hours putting together a swing(秋千)for my daughter. He asked me to have a talk with him, but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend.One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately. I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short. Few hours later that day came a call. My father was in hospital.
