Question

Middle school days are both fun and busy. Students spend their days in class,    1    to the interesting or sometimes boring words of their teachers. At break (休息) , they run, play and shout happily . But 2  should students spend their free time after school?

    In western countries,    3   is normal for students to have a part-time  4  after school or at weekends. Students can make their   5    money and learn more about the real world. They enjoy the independence (独立) and money, and their parents enjoy the quiet house.

Sometimes, western school children  9  long hours after school to make money, so they  10  too tired to listen in class or do their homework. But Chinese students spend so much time on their studies that all else becomes less important.
