Expert(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 are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger(手指)with his eyes still closed, begging(请求)for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students “early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning.

　　 A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker(虚弱)than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep(睡觉) during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.

　　 Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class.

D. Students don’t have enough sleep because they have lots of homework to do.

In China , more and more middle school students are getting shorter sleeping time than before. Most students sleep less than nine hours every night, because they have much homework to do. Some homework is given by their teachers, and some by their parents. Also, some students don't know how to save time. They are not careful enough while they do their homework, so it takes them a lot of time. Some students spend too much time watching TV or playing computer games. They stay up (熬夜) very late. Some students have to get up early every morning on weekdays to get to school n time by bus or by bike. It can be a long way from home to school.

　　Schools and parents should cut down some of the homework so that our children can enjoy more than nine hours of sleep every night for their health. For children, we should make best use of our time. When we have enough time for sleeping, we will find it much better for both our study and health.
