Tears came into this mother’s 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(乞求)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 a. m. every morning．
School students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep a night．But in Shanghai, it’s reported that 90％ of the students do not get enough sleep．And studies show that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker than they should be．Many become near-sighted as a result．
Li Ming, a student at Qing Hua High School, said that he usually goes to bed after 11 p. m．But when he has exams coming up, he can stay up as late as midnight．This “night birds” lifestyle has made many students nod(点头)off in class．Li Ming said that it is during afternoon classes that he feels most sleepy．“My parents are usually happy to see me studying so late,” he said．“They think I work very hard and they make me cups of coffee．”
However, not all parents are happy about this “
My daughter gets up so early．She looks tired and it really hurts me, ” said one of the parents．Why don’t so many students get enough sleep? Now many members of society began to think about it．

All around the world, people drink tea．But tea doesn't mean the same thing to everyone In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea．
In China, for example, people always serve(供给)tea when they get together．The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at homes or tea houses．They like their tea with nothing else in it．
Tea is also important in Japan．The Japanese have a special(特殊的)way of serving tea called a tea ceremony(仪式)．It is very old and full of meaning．People must do everything in a special way in the ceremony．There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes．
Another tea-drinking country is England．In England the late afternoon is“teatime”．Almost everyone has a cup of tea then．The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with cream and sugar．They also eat cakes and little sandwiches at teatime．
In the United States people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals．Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea．Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapot．In the summer many Americans drink“iced tea”．Sometimes they drink iced tea from cans(罐)，like soda．

Eric Wilson, the reporter from Lifestyle Magazine, interviews two persons on how they spend their day．Read what they say and answer some questions．
My name’s Stella．I usually leave at around eight fifteen．It takes me around forty minutes, and we start at nine－sharp．I take a coffee break at eleven, and then have my lunch at one o’clock．Pretty much the same hours as most people, I guess．I generally get home around six o’clock, have a snack, and then watch the news on TV at seven．I eat around eight, watch more TV or read a book, and try to be in bed by ten．Pretty boring, really, but that’s life．
