Thirdly, early rising can give us a plan of our work for the day. We cannot work well without a good plan.
Fourthly; early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work, such as to wash our hands and faces and eat our breakfast.
Late risers may find it difficult to form the habit(养成习惯) of early rising. They have to make an effort(努力) to do so. As the English proverb says, "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy(富裕的) and wise. "

Watching TV is a good way to relax in our free time. Many boys and girls love to watch TV. They spend many hours a day in front of the TV set. A child can learn both bad things and good things from them.
There are many kinds of TV programs. Some programs help children to understand the news all over the world. With television a child doesn’t have to go to the zoo to see the animals.
But Watching TV too much is bad for our eyesight. It takes up too much time. Some channels are really unhealthy. They’re bad for children. So parents should help them to find other interesting things to do. Tell them it’s fun to watch some TV programs, but it’s also fun to read books, to play games or to visit friends. 听第四段材料，回答第21-25小题.
