She is my student, who is 15 years old．Her parents love her very much and hope she can become a doctor．So they often tell her to study hard and they do all for her．Every morning when she gets up, breakfast is ready．Then her father takes her to school by car．And in the afternoon, when she comes back home, supper is already ready．Of course her parents never ask her to help them do housework．She never washes her clothes, even underwears．
One day, her father was on business and would stay there for half a year．Before leaving, he told his wife to take good care of their daughter．So the woman had to get up earlier and did all that her husband had done before．Two months later, the woman was so tired that she was ill in bed．Now the girl got into much trouble．She couldn't do any housework．She even didn’t know where to get on the bus．
One day, her mother wanted to drink water with sugar．But the girl couldn’t find where sugar was．With the help her mother, she knew sugar was white powder．Finally she found it in the fridge．She put much of it in a cup of hot water and gave the cup to her mother．As soons as the woman drank, she split water out．She cried loudly：“It is too salty．” She knew her daughter mistook salt for sugar．Then the woman regreted for spoiling her daughter before．

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．
My name’s Sophie．You ask my daily routine---that’s kind of a strange thing to ask．Still, if you really want to know…I get up around eleven thirty, and I hang out and read the paper and drink some tea．Then I go to the gym around twelve thirty, till about one fifteen, I guess．Well, then I might do some shopping or visit a friend．I usually have something to eat around three thirty, and I leave home at six thirty, and get to work around seven．I work until eleven．I’m usually home by eleven thirty．I have a meal, watch TV or a video, and try and be in bed by one o’clock．Unusual, maybe, but I like it．
