Tears came into this mothers eyes when she talked about waking up her son.Every morning,her ten-year-old boy puts up one finger with his eyes still closed,begging for one more minute to sleep.

Why is he so sleepy?Because,like thousands of student "early birds"in China,he has to get up before 6: 00a.m.every morning.

School students usually need eight to ten hours' sleep a night.But in China,it's reported that 90% of the students do not get enough sleep And studies show that without a good nights sleep,students seem to be weaker than they should be.They can't pay attention to their lessons or the traffic around them,and become upset as a result.

Li Ming,a student of a middle school in Linhe,said,"I usually go to bed after 11:00 p.m But when I have exams coming up,I have to stay up as late as midnight."This"night bird lifestyle has made many students nod off(打瞌睡)in class. Li Ming said,"It is during afternoon classes that I feel most sleepy. My parents are usually happy to see me studying so late.They think I work very hard and they make me cups of coffee.

So far,the officials of the Educational Bureau of Bayannao'er City have taken many measures to reduce the students'pressure.One is known as putting off(推迟)the time for going to school.It has worked well in increasing the students'sleeping time.Thanks to the policy, the students have enough time to sleep now.However,some people doubt the correctness of it.The problem of the students' pressure is still serious in our area,We still have a long way to go.

Wendy lived with her parents, Mr and Mrs Darling, and her brothers, John and Michael, at number 14 (the house number on their street).

The children had a nurse because the neighbours’ children had nurses, and Mr. Darling wanted to be like his neighbours. But the family was poor so their nurse wasn’t like other children’s nurses. She was a big dog and her name was Nana.

Nana put the children to bed every evening and she looked after them if they cried in the night. Her kennel was in the children’s bedroom, just next to their beds.
