Are you feeling sleepy in class?I remember that I used to get up at eight when I was young．And we didn't use to do homework．But now, everything has changed．
For 12-year-old Liu Xiangjian, the most difficult thing in life is getting up at 5：50 a. m．every school day．
“I don't want to get up so early, but I used to be afraid of being late,”the six-grade Beijing primary school student said,“I want more sleep．”
Liu has breakfast at 6∶15 a. m．and after a 30-minute bus ride, arrives at school at 7 a. m．Like most of his 28 classmates, Liu arrives at school a full hour before lessons start at 8 a. m．
In 2007, a survey of 2500 schoolchildren in six cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, it was found that about 77％ students were short of sleep．
In a recent survey made by the China Daily website, almost 70％ of the 1,130 respondents said that they agreed with cutting school hours, while 22％ disagreed and 10％ had no comment．
Although their children spend long hours at school, many parents arrange for them to take more studies．
Liu's mother, Wang Qunyu, who teaches at a high school in Beijing, thinks her son is still not doing enough to win a place at a good quality high school．
“Of course I want my son to have more sleep, more exercise and more fun,' she said,“but the common saying is that if you give your child a happy childhood in China, you give him a failed future．”
Something must be done to change people's traditional thought that a college diploma(毕业证)is a ticket to a good job．

What is the author's opinion according to the passage?
You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year．You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly．
Perhaps you have been told about some habits (习惯) which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have．
Do you still have any of these bad habits?Check yourself by answering“yes”or“no”to these questions．
(1) Do you move your lips (嘴唇) when reading silently?
(2) Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
(3)Do you move your head from side to side as you read?
(4)Do you read one word at a time?
If you answer“yes”to any of these questions,start at once to break the habit．If you move your tips，hold your fingers over them，or hold a piece of paper be-tween your lips while you are reading．Then if your lips move，your will know it and can stop them．
If you point to words，hold the two sides of your book，one side with your left hand，the other side with your right hand．Then you won't have a free finger to use in pointing while reading．If you move your head，place your chin (下巴) in one hand and hold your head still (静止不动的)．
If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time，you need to work very hard in learning to take in (吸收) more words at each glance (一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words．
Even if you do rather fast now，you can learn to read even faster．As you probably have been told，the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words as each glance．Read in through groups and force (迫使) your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can to make them go．Anyone who practices doing these things will he able to read faster．
