second-grader. he went to school by bus every day. he was the first student on in the morning, as we were farthest from school, and the last student off in the evening. i was a teacher myself and it was a comfort to realize the school staff (职员) were all working as hard as i was to provide a safe learning environment.one day i came home from work and waited for my son to get home for along time. then i called the school. “perhaps hes just a bit late,” said the secretary. “i will call the driver to see if those children are home.” a few minutes later, i answered the phone to hear that the other students were home. then i called his friends parents, to see if perhaps he had gotten off at their stop to play. the answers were all “no.”by that time, it was dark and i was scared. my home was in the mountain areas, and it was said that a wolf had come up somewhere. my husband wasnt at home, so i forced myself to calm down and decided to go out to look for him. i was about to go out when the telephone rang; it was from the driver. “hes okay,” i heard. “he was asleep on the seats in the back, under a couple of jackets. since its dark, can he spend the night with my family?” i was relieved and agreed. since my son had a great adventure, the school started giving a copy of the list to the driver, so he could check off the childrens names when they got off the bus. i think highly of the school for taking the cautionary (警戒的) step ahead; it is a sign of their concern for students, parents, and staff.5. from paragraph 1 we learn that _.a. the authors son went home by bus every

getting enough sleep has become as important as eating vegetables and exercising regularly. its very important for your body.most young people only get seven hours of sleep each night, when they

sleep that night.do something relaxing before going to bed.exercise during the day. dont exercise right before going to bed.avoid drinking alcohol. alcohol makes you excited. this prevents you from falling asleep or wakes you up during the night.dont smoke. smoking is always bad for the body. smoking before bedtime keeps you awake.if trying these tips over a couple of weeks does not help you, speak to your doctor. do not take any sleeping pills without first asking your doctor. many of them have strong side effects.9. how many people have a sleep problem in your class of 40 students?a.
