him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “how much do I own

you?”

“You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Then I thank you from the bottom

of my heart.” With these words, Howard Kelly left that house.

In a 2005 survey of 2005 schoolchildren in six cities, including Beijing and

Shanghai, it was found that about 77% of them were short of sleep. Should school hours

be cut? In new survey taken by the China Daily website, almost 70% of the 1, 133

people online agreed with cutting school hours, while 20% disagreed and 10% gave no

answer.

Liu Xing (12-year-old, 6-grade student): I get up at 5:50 every school day, have

breakfast at 6:15, leave home at 6:30 and, after a 30-minute bus ride, arrive at school

at 7:00, a full hour before lessons start. Besides, I spend my weekends taking classes

in math and English, as well as learning to play the piano.

a top high school, as it is so competitive. They want students with good English and

math and also special skills.

play, they can develop their characters, learn to be independent(独立) and improve

all kinds of skills.

so letting them go home early is not a good idea. I think schools should have more
