I teach 15 to 18-year-olds, so I try to make my lessons as fun as possible. Most of my students try really hard in lessons and they are enthusiastic about learning English. However, I sometimes have to nudge(推)students who have fallen asleep in the middle of a lesson!One or two students fall asleep in my class every day. I solve this problem by explaining to my students that if I catch them sleeping then they have to answer a question about the days learning in front of the class. This has worked very well in my lessons, but I still wanted to know why I had such sleepy students.This is what I have discovered:At my school the first lesson of the day starts at 7:30 am and the last lesson does not finish until 9:30 pm. The students get 10 minutes of free time between each class, plus longer break time for their lunch and dinner. During their lunch break at about 1:30 pm, the school is quiet and the playground is deserted, because every classroom is full of students who are fast asleep. I have also found out that students are expected to attend school on the weekends for extra lessons.When I was a teenager in London, I started school at 8:30 am and finished at 3:30 pm every day. I had weekends to myself and had dinner with my family or friends, usually in my own home. Discovering how hard my students work made me more understanding about their accidental nap(打盹)in the classroom!4. What is it that upsets the author? A. Students arent interested in English. B.

The crabs best friend was a swan(天鹅), who lived in the same lake.One year, every time the swan laid an egg, a snake living by the lake would come and eat it up. One day, the swan went to the crab and said, “That cruel snake eats all my eggs in the nest(窝). What can I do?” The crab decided to help his best friend. He had an idea and told his friend what they should do.By the lake, there also lived a mongoose(猫鼬). The crab and the swan caught some fish and dropped them from the mongooses house all the way to the snakes house. When the mongoose came out, he saw the fish. He happily ate all of them one by one. As he ate, he kept following the fish trail to the snakes
