  Middle school students have far too much homework.They usually have to sit up three or four hours every night doing their homework.Now one school in my hometown has made a rule of limiting(限制)homework.The homework is limited to an hour a day and the students have no homework on the weekend.I think this is an excellent idea that will allow students to live better and healthier lives.

  Less homework will give students more time to enjoy other pastimes(休闲活动).I have many books which I received as gifts from my parents and friends.They have been kept there on my shelf for several years! Because of homework, I will have not read a single one of them.With less homework, students will be freer to develop their interests in art, music and other hobbies.

  More time free from homework will get our physical health better.Many students like sports, but they have little time to play football, basketball, volleyball and so on.They hardly have time to have a trip or take part in any social activities.They must spend so much time solving math problems and doing grammar exercises.Besides, staying up late to finish their homework leaves many students exhausted in the morning.Not getting enough sleep is not only unpleasant; it also makes students more likely(有可能得)to get colds and other illnesses.

  Are two holidays not enough? Do you dream of three, or even four?(1)这不再是梦想! Last month, the State Council(国务院)encouraged primary and high schools to give students a spring or autumn break without changing the total number of student vacation days.

  Students in China currently only have long holidays in two seasons-summer and winter.These holidays are usually 10 to 12 weeks in total“If we had spring and autumn breaks,(2)I would have time to taste all four seasons instead of burying(埋)myself in my studies,”Gao Yiran, a 15-year-old boy told China Daily.Seasonal holidays during autumn and spring may be something new in China, but not in other countries.

  In the US, students usually have three holidays.Summer holiday is the longest one, and runs from mid-June until early September.Summer camp is one of kids' favorite places to go to, where they can make new friends and try some new activities.Winter holiday starts from mid-December and ends in early January.Most kids and their parents go to spend time together over the Christmas period.Spring break comes in mid-March and(3)it is usually a 10-day holiday.

  Schools in Japan start in April, as most people think that spring is the perfect time for new things.For school children ,summer holiday lasts from July 20 to August 31.Most kids are busy with club activities including sports and dancing.Spring break starts at the end of March and continues till early April.It is a good chance for a short family trip around the city.

  EVERYTHING has two sides.One side of SARS is already clear.It is a deadly disease, which causes fear.There were 2,601 cases(病例)recorded on the Chinese mainland on April 24, according to government report.115 people have died and numbers keep rising.

  But, there is another side.

  SARS is a reminder(提醒)of how fragile life can be.Suddenly, it’s not just the old people who are thinking about death.Everyone now realizes there might not always be a tomorrow.

  Wang Xinying, a student in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province came into contact(接触)with a suspected(疑似)SARS patient in mid-April.He was told to stay at home for at least two weeks.“Watching TV about more and more SARS patients dying, I never knew that death could be so close.Life is valuable(珍贵的)and I’m going to treasure(珍惜)every single day,” he said.

  SARS teaches people to be grateful, both for their own lives and for others.Doctors and nurses, for example, have to spend all their time with infected(被感染的)patients.As a result, more than one fifth of SARS cases in China are medical workers.

  Xu Bing, a student of Beijing No.5 Middle School wants to be a doctor in the future.“Although they certainly know the dangers, doctors and nurses kept working hard on saving people’s lives.I’m deeply moved by what they have done.I think they are real heroes.” he said.

  SARS also teaches sympathy(同情).The past few weeks have been terrible for Chinese people.But there are far worse things than SARS in this world, such as war, earthquakes and robberies.Think of the Iraqis, who have been living terrible lives for 20 years.Think of how the Americans felt on 9.11.

  And finally, SARS offers the chances to grow.All different kinds of people and the governments are joining together to work in this difficult time.When this passes, China and its people will have learned great lessons.

(1)

What does “Everyone now realizes there might not always be a tomorrow” mean?

It means life is easy to ________ and we must ________ our life.

(2)

How long was Wang Xinying told to stay at home?

He was told to stay at home for about ________ a ________.

(3)

Why can medical workers be easily infected?

Because they have to be with infected patients ________ and ________.

(4)

What do we learn in the difficult time?
