Jack worked in a shop that sold clocks. He was always telling Harry  1  a new clock. But Harry,  2  lived next door to Jack, said he didn’t need one.

“  3  needs a clock,” Jack said. “How do you know when it’s time to get up?”

“My landlord Mr. Smith turns on his radio at seven o’clock and listens  4  the news,” Harry said. “That’s my morning call.”

“Ok. But how do you know when to go to work?”

“By the time I  5  my breakfast, it’s eight o’clock, time to leave for the office. Then I walk there. When I arrive at my office, it’s nice o’clock. That’s  6  time I start work.”

“Ok. But how do you know when it’s time to go home?”

“The factory bell  7  ” Harry told him.

“But how do you know when it’s time to go to bed?”

“The television programs come to end.”

By now Jack was really  8  . “Ok,” he shouted. “Now tell me what would happen  9  you woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to know the time.”

“That’s easy,” Harry said, “I would knock heavily on  10  wall. Then you would shout at me, ‘What are you doing knocking on my wall at three o’clock in the morning?’”

This year, Chongqing primary schools decide to start morning classes an hour later. This will help students feel less tired. And most primary schools will begin the first class at about 9 o’clock in the morning. The students are happy about the change.
Liu Ming told us that his classmates were excited by the news on the first day of the school. “Great! From now on we students at Hope Primary School don’t have to get up so early!” Liu said that he used to get up at 6:40 a.m. Now he can get up at 7:50 a.m. because class doesn’t start until 8:50 a.m. Wu Hong feels the same. She said the new timetable was good for her health. “I used to get up at 6:30 a.m. I had to drink coffee every night, or I would feel too sleepy to finish my homework,” said Wu Hong, “Now I can finish it without coffee, because I can sleep a little longer.”
Many teachers say the change will help students learn better. “Students used to doze（瞌睡）for the first two classes in the morning,” said Huang Shan, an English teacher at No.1 Primary School. “But now they are active and learn much better than before.”
But some parents are worried that more sleep will mean less learning. There used to be five classes in the morning. Now there are only four.
In fact, every coin has two sides. So does the change in the school timetable.
