This year,Chongqing primary schools decide to start morning classes an hour later. This will help students feel less tired. And most primary schools will begin the first classes at about 9 o'clock in the morning.

The students are happy about the change.

Liu Ming told us that his class were excited by the news on the first day of the school. "Great!From now on we students at Hope Primary School don't have to get up so early ！" Liu said that he used to get up at 6' 40 a. m. Now he can get up at 7: 50 a. m. because class doesn't start until 8: 50 a. m.

Wu Hong feels the same. She said the new timetable (;時間表；) was good for her health. "I used to get up at 6: 30 a. m. I had to drink coffee every night,or I would feel too sleepy to finish my homework," said Wu. "Now I can finish it without coffee. Because I can sleep a little longer."

Many teachers say the change will help students learn better. u Students used to doze (瞌睡) for the first two classes in the morning," said Huang Shan,an English teacher at No. 1Primary School. "But now they are active and learn much better than before."

But some parents are worried that more sleep will mean less learning. There used to be five classes in the morning. Now there are only four.

In fact,every coin has two sides. So does the change in the school timetable.

How do you feel when you have to make a speech in front of class? What about when you go to a birthday party? Do you get really shy?

Shyness means feeling nervous or frightened when you're around other people. Experts have found that more than 80 percent of middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention. Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences.

It's OK if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In fact,everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It's just a case of how much.

Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some become so shy that they won't go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting new people,so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person.

If shyness doesn't stop you from doing something you want to do,being shy isn't a very big problem. Some experts say shy people are cleverer because they think more and talk less. Shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. Some great people in history were shy,too.

You see,being shy isn't all bad. But remember not to let good opportunities (機會) pass by just because of it!If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practice your spoken English in front of others,just do it!There's nothing to be afraid of.

Some time ago,I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended,as there are a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待) .I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.

The second shop,though slightly more polite,was just the same,and the third,and the fourth. So I decided to do things differently.

I went into the fifth shop with a good plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?" He looked it over carefully and said, " Yes,not a bad chair. How much do you want for it,sir?" "Twenty pounds," I said. uOK," he said. "I'll give you twenty pounds. " "It's got a slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes,I saw that. It's nothing.”

Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked. " Oh,it will be easy to sell it once the repair is done. ” "I'll buy it," I said. "What do you mean? You've just sold it to me," he said. "Yes,I know,but I've changed my mind. Fm sorry,I'll give you twentyseven pounds for it." "You must be crazy," he said. Then,suddenly the penny dropped. "I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. " "You're right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said,  Would you mend this chair for me'?" "I wouldn't have agreed to do it," he said. "We don't do repairs,not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I'll mend this for you. " He was a very nice man,and was greatly amused (感到有趣) by the whole thing.

Traveling to every part of the world gets easier, but how well do we know and understand each other? Here's a simple test. Imagine you are planning to hold a meeting at four o'clock. What time should you expect your foreign business friends to arrive? If they are Germans, they'll arrive on time. If they are Americans, they'll probably be 15 minutes early. If they are Englishmen, they'll be 15 minutes late. And you should allow up to an hour for the Italians.

The British seemed to think since the English language was widely used in the world, people would always understand what they do. However, they found they were completely(完全)wrong. For example, the British are happy to have a business lunch and discuss business matters and have a drink during the meal. But the Japanese prefer not to work while eating.

They have to be well fed and watered before they discuss anything. (       )1. What do the Germans prefer when they go to a meeting?
