Just how important is school nowadays?Teachers often complain that homework is not done properly and that pupils are constantly arriving at school red-eyed and yawning through lack of sleep.
There are,it appears,two main explanations for this phenomenon.Firstly,many young children stay up late to watch TV.Programs suitable for them may finish as late as eight.No child wants to be an exception in an age of conformity(同龄人)and admits not having seen what everybody else has .Secondly,a growing number of older children,particularly those approaching school-leaving age,are taking up part-time employment mainly involving evening or weekend work.They feel that working experience,not academic qualifications,will help them find jobs on leaving school.One can sympathize(同情)with both group of children but it doesn't make a teacher's life any easier.

When a tornado (龙卷风) destroys a house, it doesn't blow it down the way a hurricane (十二级台风) does. It makes the house explode. Why does the house explode?
The air that surrounds a house presses against it all the time. It usually has a force of about fifteen pounds per square inch. The air inside the house presses out against the walls just as hard. When a tornado passes over a house, it suddenly sucks away the air outside the house. The air inside the house still pushes out against the walls, but now there is nothing pushing back. So the walls are pushed out in an explosion.
Pieces of the house are sucked up into the tornado and carried away. There is little left where the house once stood.

[ ]
A．explode B．blow away C．fall down D．catch fire
