Studying too much?

Most people work or study from Monday to Friday. The weekend is usually a time of rest. But today’s Chinese teenagers can hardly rest during the weekends.

According to a survey, 24% of the Grade 8 students in Beijing have classes at the weekend. Over 40% of the middle school students have less than eight hours’ sleep each night because of study. And this doesn’t happen only in Beijing. Ji Chunying is a Grade 9 student in Guangzhou. The 14-year-old girl has to get up at 6:45 am on Saturday. Then she has classes all the day. On Sunday, she goes to extra（额外）classes for math and physics. But Ji doesn’t complain. She says her classmates all work very hard.

Finding time to have fun

Zhao Ming, 13, is from Zhanjiang, Guangdong. Zhao’s weekend is less busy. But he still spends Saturday in school. On Sunday, after finishing homework, he plays basketball. “I feel happy because I still have time to do the things I like,” he said. Some students are much luckier. Ding Yi, a Grade 8 student from Laiwu, Shandong, is one of them. During the weekend, Ding usually gets up at 8:00 am. Then she spends some time doing homework. After that she is free to go shopping or watch TV. “My teacher said I don't need to push myself too much. Learning well at school is enough,” Ding said. “I feel pretty lucky.”

三、阅读短文回答问题（共10分，每小题2分）

Each year, thousands of Chinese middle school students go to study in foreign countries. Recent research shows among 428 middle school students in Shanghai, nearly half of them would like to study abroad.

“Chinese children are eager to go abroad to get a wider view, less academic（学业） competition or even family honour,” said Chen Yi, a Chinese writer who has lived in the US for 16 years. “But life in foreign countries can be hard for young people.”

“We have to face the culture shock and language problems,” said Hong Guang, a Chinese student in London.

However, these are not always the most difficult things to overcome. To most children, controlling themselves when studying alone in a foreign country is a big challenge.

Zhang Jia, a 16-year-old student from Shanghai, entered high school in Melbourne, Australia last October. To his surprise, his teachers there seldom pushed students to study. And usually there wasn’t much homework. Some of his friends spend their whole year’s money in the first two months of the new term.

“Studying abroad at a young age can help students learn foreign languages quickly and broaden their minds, but students and parents should know about the challenges,” Chen said.
