This year, Chongqing primary schools decide to start morning classes an hour later. This will help students feel less tired. And most primary schools will begin the first class at about 9 o’clock in the morning. The students are happy about the change.
Liu Ming told us that his classmates were excited by the news on the first day of the school. “Great! From now on we students at Hope Primary 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 7:50 a.m. because class doesn’t start until 8:50 a.m. Wu Hong feels the same. She said the new timetable 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 Hong, “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 Huang Shan, an English teacher at No.1 Primary School. “But now they are active 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.
In fact, every coin has two sides. So does the change in the school timetable.

Suzy won an award in the USA for her popular talk show on TV. Her show is very popular so even people all over the world know it. Why is her show so popular? Because she cares about people and the world. She usually invites important people to her show to talk about some important issues that everyone cares about. And she is not afraid to fight with the bad things. One of her famous stories is about the "mad cow disease(疯牛病)". When Suzy learned that some businessmen(商人) sold bad beef and lied to people that the cows were without "mad cow disease", she got angry and worried. She didn't want people to get sick, so she told everyone in her show that she decided not to eat beef any more. She knew that people would follow her and the businessmen would be angry, but she was not afraid. She knew what was the right thing to do.
【小题1】Why is Suzy's show popular?

Never try to work when you are very hungry. If you want to do your homework right after school, you may want to eat something before getting to work. ①Always do your homework before you get too tired. Don't wait until very late in the evening, or your homework will seem much harder than it really is.

If you have more than an hour's work，you should give yourself a break after an hour. On the other hand，② you should work at least half an hour a time without stopping.

Don't put it off（推迟）until the last minute. If you put off doing your homework，you will have it on your mind，and you won't enjoy your free time so much. If you put it off until the end of the week or until night before a test，you will have too much catching up to do. A little each night, enough to keep up with（跟上）what is happening each day in school，will take the fear out of tests and keep you on top of it.

Do your homework at the same time every day. This will help you make it a habit. It will make part of your daily work easier to do，and it will make your free time more enjoyable as well.

DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in the UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programs show people how to DIY.

English people like DIY. If there is anything that needs fixing (修理) around their homes, such as                       p  1.    the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY                 e  2.    with their friends. More and more people are fond of DIY and have d  3.   the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. At present, many people can’t a  4.    a big house. They are looking at how they can make their houses better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.

DIY can be difficult. There is a large market for DIY furniture (家具) which needs to be got together by people themselves w  5.    a few tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions (指令). Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture i  6.   is difficult to build. DIY can also be dangerous if you are not careful enough. It is r  7.    that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in the UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.

DIY can bring us a lot of f  8.    and can help us save some money, but it is not always as easy as it is t  9.   to be if we do something that is too hard. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and s  10.    for us to DIY.
