Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this.

Like thousands of students “early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning.A report shows that without a good nights sleep, students seem to be weaker（虚弱）than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class.( ) 41.

Men cooked their food and kept themselves warm with it. The birds thought life would be better if they too could have this thing.

So Chicken went.He flew over the forest until he came to the towns of men. He went into a town and saw the burning thing. He learned that it was called “Fire”.
