Experts(专家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours' sleep at night, but most Chinese
students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying
late. They will think their children work very hard. But not all parents think about this. Once a mother
told us that every morning her l0-year-old boy puts up one finger with 'his eyes still closed, begging(乞求)
one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students "Early Bird " in China, he has to get up before six
every morning.

should be. Many students have fallen asleep (入睡)during classes. Too much homework is not the only

Experts ever say that students should develop (养成)good study habits. So some clever students
never study late, and they are able to work well in class.
