In order to improve students’ health and reduce (减少) students’ pressure, our country made some rules. Here are some of them.

Firstly, homework for middle school students should take no more than 90 minutes. They can finish most of written homework at school so that after school they only spend a little time finishing the rest. Some students can still go to sleep on time even though they don’t finish their homework until bedtime. Then they will have more time to relax. Secondly, mobile phones mustn’t be brought to class because students are easily absent-minded (心不在焉的) from the lesson. Students must control the time on electronic products to protect their eyesight. They shouldn’t lose themselves in the Internet. Thirdly, students are expected to listen carefully and go over lessons in time so that they can master the right way of learning. Fourthly, parents should often communicate with their children, pay attention to their feelings and help them develop good learning and life habits.

In a word, these rules are helpful to middle school students. If they follow the rules, they can improve their study and health.

“Please, Aunt Betsey, I’m your nephew (外甥) David Copperfield. You came on the night I was born and saw my dear mother. My life 5． (be) very terrible since she died. My stepfather sent me to work in London and I hated it and ran away. Then someone stole my money and I 6． (walk) here. Aunt Betsey, I 7． (feel) quite terrible now...” I felt weak and suddenly fell to the ground.

My aunt picked me up and took me into her sitting room. While I 8． (eat), my aunt asked me a lot of questions. I was tired after the long day. Soon I fell asleep in a warm, comfortable bed. Several days later, my stepfather, Mr. Murdstone arrived. “David is a very bad boy, violent (暴力的) and lazy, maybe the worst boy in the world,” he said angrily. “We found him a good job in London but he ran away. Now he must 9． (punish)!”

Aunt Betsey listened to him carefully and replied, “I don’t believe a word you say. I know you’ve been cruel to this boy and his poor mother. I 10． (look) after David from now on. Now get out of here!”
