Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They have heavy pressures from their parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and harder so that they can have a wonderful life when they grow up .Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who aren’t gifted (有天赋的)enough. Many of them have tried very hard at study but fail in the exams and make their parents lose heart. Some students feel that they are hated by everyone else and they don’t want to go to school any longer .They become dropouts.
It is surprising that though most Japanese are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way .Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers’ work to help their children .To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the evening and on weekends. They only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them the very real sense of the world.
Many Japanese schools usually has rules about everything from the student’ clothes to things in their school bags. Child psychologists(心理学家)now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feeling of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others , how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.

You must have heard of many European cities like Paris, London, Berlin and Rome. What about Copenhagen? It is the capital of Denmark. But do you know another name of it? It is also called " Europe's bicycle capital". In the city, people enjoy a large network of bike paths. Of course, this is a nice, green life.
However, this has caused an unusual problem—bike jams ! And they are becoming regular on some city streets. So, recently, Copenhagen has decided to build bicycle highways !
Then, what will a bicycle highway look like? It is a road with a bike path on either side. The road itself is built for buses and cars only. But each bike path will be built four meters wide! And traffic lights will let bicycles go first. In the future, bike highways will be with bike stops. At the stops, the persons who ride bikes can take a rest and mend bikes. Besides, some bicycle highways will link the suburbs(郊区) with the center of Copenhagen. So, people can travel across Copenhagen by bike quickly and safely.
You may say that the idea of bicycle highways sounds like a dream. But just as a writer once said, "If you will do it, it is no dream. "![]()

According to a recent survey, British teenagers are damaging(伤害) their health by not getting enough sleep because they are prevented from doing so by electronic gadgets (电子设备) in their bedrooms.
According to the Sleep Council, "junk sleep" could compete with eating unhealthy junk food as a main worrying lifestyle for parents of teenage children.
Among the l, 000 students aged 12 t0 16 who were tested in the survey, 30 percent just slept for 4 to 7 hours a day. Almost a quarter said they fell asleep, more than once a week, while watching TV, listening to music or using other electronic gadgets.
"This is a quite worrying trend(潮流)”, said Dr Chris Idzikowski of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre. "What we are seeing is the appearance of terrible junk sleep - sleep that is of neither the length(长度) nor the quality it should be."
Nearly each of the teenagers had a phone, music system or TV in his or her bedroom, with around two-thirds owning all three. Almost one in five of the teenage boys said the quality of their sleep had been influenced by leaving their TVs or computers on. The survey also found that 40 percent of youngsters felt tired each day, with girls aged 15 to 16 feeling the worst.
"Teenagers need to wake up to the fact that to perform(表现) well. They need to do something about their sleep. I'm shocked(震惊) that so few teenagers have noticed the close connection," said Idzikowski.

Some countries have a large number of earthquakes. Japan is one of them, while others do not have many, for example, there are few earthquakes in Britain.
There is often a great noise during an earthquake. The ground vibrates (颤动).Houses fall down. Railways are broken, which causes trains to turn over. Sometimes thousands of people are killed in different ways. About 60,000 were killed in 1783 in the south of Italy. Some people say that earthquakes often happen near volcanoes(火山), but it is not true. The centres of some earthquakes are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it, breaking down houses and other buildings. Sometimes they break more buildings than the earthquake itself.
A terrible earthquake happened in Assam, India, in 1986.The land near Shillong suddenly moved 1.5 feet to one side, and then back again. It continued to act like this 20 times a minute.Few buildings could stand what was happening and the great stones flew four feet up into the air. What kind of building stays up best in an earthquake? The Americans carefully studied the results of the earthquake at San Francisco(1906) and believed it best for buildings to be made with concrete(混凝土) walls together by steel frames. Such are the buildings that can't burn or fall easily.

An earthquake may happen at any time. It’s best for us to know what to do, where to safe and who to contact during the earthquake. The following information will help you.
Remember: Prepare your personal earthquake bag. Collect these items and keep them somewhere near you. Water, food, medicine, mobile, phone, torch(手电筒),personal washing things, blanket, money.
Remember: Drop, Hide, Hold and contact. Drop to the floor and protect your head and neck with your arms. Hide yourself beside something like a table, a bed and so on. Hold the furniture so that you won’t move away during the earthquake. Contact family friends to tell them where you are.
