Do other countries’ students also have so much homework? What do they usually do in their free time? You may feel curious about them. On April 8, a report came out on the lives of high school students in China, Japan, South Korea and the US. It surveyed around 6,200 students from the four countries last year. You will find the answers to many of your questions in this report. Who studies hardest? Chinese students spend the most time studying.

Who sleeps most often in class? Japanese students fall asleep in class most often. About 45% of them said they sometimes doze offin class. In South Korea, it’s 32%; in the US, 21%; and 5% in China. South Korean students don’t like taking notes. About 70% said they write down what the teacher says in class, many fewer than in Japan (93%), China (90%) and the US (89%). Who is the most distracted (分心的)? American students are the most active in class, but also the most distracted: 64.2% said they chat with friends in class; 46.9% said they eat snacks in class; and 38.9% said they send e-mails or read unrelated books in class.

Once in a village, the villagers built a new church building and people came from far and wide to see it. They admired its beauty! They said it was the most beautiful building in the world. Up on the roof, a little nail（钉子）heard the people praising everything about the lovely structure – except the nail! No one even knew he was there, and he became very angry and sad. “If I am not important, nobody will miss me if I quit!” So the nail then released (松开) its hold, got down from the roof, and fell into the mud. That night it rained and rained. Soon, the board that had no nail was blown away, and the roof began to leak (漏水). The water flowed down along the walls and over the beautiful pictures on the walls. The plaster (石膏) began to fall, the floor was ruined, and the Bible was also ruined by water. All this was because a little nail decided to quit! But what of the nail? While holding the board, it was not known by others but it was useful. Buried in the mud now, it was useless and would soon be eaten up by rust! What the story wants to say is that every member is important to a whole group! You may, like the nail, feel not important at times, but just like the nail, your absence is felt. A big building might fall to pieces. You are important to a group even if you are small. 1.Why did the nail decide to quit?
2.What’s the result of the nail’s giving up?
3.The passage wants to tell us that ______.

I had here a group of 32 Chinese students study in Nottingham University, who want to go on a seven-days tour during the Christmas days. I hope we can have a coach that will take us to Scotland but then bring us back to Nottingham. We also need a guide who speak standard English and knows Scotland well. I would be so grateful if you could work a trip plan as soon as possible and tell me our accommodation and meals as well as how much each of us has to pay for. If you have any information, please either email me or call me for 0774-7745007. Look forward to your early reply. Yours Truly, Jack
