He and his parents ________ teachers in the same middle school.

[　　]

    This year，Sichuan schools decide to start morning classes an hour later．This will help students feel less tired．And most junior high schools will begin the first class at about 8：30 a．m．

    The students are happy about the change．

    Liu Ming told as that his class was excited by the news on the first day of school. “Great! From now on we students at Chengdu No．4 Middle School don’t have to get up so early!”Liu said that he used to get up at 6：40 a．m．Now he can get up at 7：40 a．m．because class doesn’t start until 8：40 a．m．

    Wu Hongli feels the same．She said the new timetable(时间表)was good for her health．“I used to get up at 6：30 a．m．I had to drink coffee every night，or I would feel too sleepy to finish my homework．”said Wu．“Now I can finish it without coffee．Because I can sleep a little longer．”

    Many teachers say the change will help students learn better．“Students used to doze (瞌睡) for the first two classes in the morning，”said HuangShan，an English teacher at Chengdu No．1 2 Middle School．”But now they are active in class and learn much better than before．”

    But some parents are worried that more sleep will mean less learning．There used to be five classes in the morning．Now there are only four．

Look at the photo of a boy. Do you know who he is? Many Chinese people know him very well now. His name is Lin Hao. He is only nine years old now, but he can save his two partners during the earthquake in Sichuan on May 12, 2008. He carried his two partners with his weak back at that dangerous time. And they got nothing about his parents then. His fourteen-year-old sister took them away and walked seven hours difficultly. At last, they got to Du Jiangyan City safely. He was very calm when he appeared in the picture of the reporter’s cameral. Just as his brave behavior, we are all moved. And he was named “Ten Little Heroes during the Earthquake” by CCTV.
At the same time, another nine children were named “Ten Little Heroes during the Earthquake” by CCTV. Lei Chunian, a 15-year-old child, is a middle school student. He did not run out when the earthquake happened, instead he ran into the classroom and found his seven classmates were sitting at the corner of the classroom. He took them away at once. On the half way, he found there were only six. At that very dangerous time, he ran back to the classroom again. He found a girl crying there because of fearing. He asked her to run away quickly. But she was too afraid to move. So he carried her and ran out of the classroom. A few seconds later, the building fell down and they were all safe.
Let’s remember all these little heroes for ever. They are Ren Dong, Ning Jiaci, Dong Yupei, Liu Li, Tang Fuwen, Kang Jie, Zhou Wen, Yin Quankui and Zhu Hualin. We should learn their spirit of helping others during the dangerous time. Among them, Liu Li and Zhou Wen lost their lives. Zhou Wen is a Tibet (藏族) girl.
