初中新目标（go for it）八年级下第一次月考模拟卷-组卷题库站

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 the parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10一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 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.

Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures from their parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such students feel that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don't want to go to school any longer. They became dropouts.

It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers' work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends--they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world.

Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students' hair to their clothes and things in the schoolbags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the students. Almost 40％of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.
