Tears came into this mother’s eyes when she talked about waking up her son．Every morning，her ten-year-old boy puts up one finger with his eyes still closed，begging for one more minute to sleep．

   Why is he so sleepy? Because, like thousands of student“early birds”in China，he has to get up before 6 a．m．every morning．

   School students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night．But in Shanghai，it’s reported that 90％of the students do not get enough sleep．And studies show that without a good night’s sleep．students seem to be weaker than they should be．Many become nearsighted(近视)as a result．

   Li Ming，a student at Qinghua High School，said that he usually goes to bed after 11P．m．But when he has exams coming up，he can stay up as late as midnight．This“night bird”lifestyle(生活方式)has made many students nod off(打瞌睡)in class．Li Ming said that it is during afternoon classes that he feels most sleepy．“My parents are usually happy to see me studying so late．”he said．“They think I work very hard and they make me cups of coffee．”

    However，not all parents are happy about this．“My daughter gets up so early．She looks tired and it really hurts me，”said one of the parents．Why don’t so many students get enough sleep? Now many members of society began to think about it．

Maybe you're wondering how we spend our free time in the year 2059, so I, ll tell you what I did last weekend.

On Saturday morning, I stayed in bed until 11 o’clock, when my mother woke me up. “Wang Mang! Get out of bed, you lazy little pig!” she said. “You can’t lie in bed all day, and you’ve got homework to do, haven’t you?” Were mothers so annoying fifty years ago?

Anyway, I got out of bed and asked the robot to make me a quick brunch—hamburger and French fries. But the robot said, “Sorry, Mang. Your mother says I can only give you hamburgers 3 times a week, and you had 2 hamburgers yesterday. Fast food is not healthy. I suggest you have some of the dumplings I made yesterday. Or perhaps some fruit salad” You see, my mother has programmed the robot to stop it giving me the things 1 really want to eat. I feel like a prisoner (囚犯）！

After finishing my brunch, I got out my homework pad. The pad looks like a piece of paper, but it’s actually a computer. We don’t use paper much any more. Paper books are really expensive, so we usually buy cheap computer books.

I had to do my math homework on Saturday. We never need to use math in our daily lives—computers solve all the math problems for us. But our math teacher says that if people stop studying math, they’ll forget how to think and become like vegetables. Well, I want to be a vegetable. I hate math!
