任务型阅读（15分）In China, more and more middle school students are getting shorter sleeping time than before．Most students sleep less than nine hours every night, because they have much homework to do．Some homework （give）by their teachers, and some by their parents．Also, some students don’t know how to save time．They are not careful enough while they do their homework, so it takes them a lot of time． Some students spend too much time watching TV or playing computer games．They stay up very late．Some students have to get up early every morning on weekdays to get to school on time by bus or by bike．It can be a long way from home to school．
Schools and parents should cut down some of the homework so that our children can enjoy more than nine hours of sleep every night for their health．For children, we should make best use of our time．When we have enough time for sleeping, we will find it much better for both our study and health．

In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited．About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along．They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them．People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way．Someone shouted at them．The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about．The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed （窘迫的．No one had told them about the British custom （习惯）of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus．
Learning the language of a country isn't enough．If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country．You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own．A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table．The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself．Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree．But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement．Nodding （点头）your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty．
In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'— a nod means 'no'．At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up．If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top．
In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting．Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble．Also, you should try to avoid （避免）touching the head of an adult （成人）——it's just not done in Thailand．

Have you ever been ill? When you are ill，you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot，and there are pains all over your body．You don't want to work，you stay in bed，feeling very sad．
