“Which is the road to Franklin?” he asked. The beggar got   10  dollar and the farmer went along the road.

　　Experts(專家)say that students usually need eight to ten hours' sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep．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．Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger with his eyes still closed, begging(乞求)for one more minute to sleep．Like thousands of student“early birds”in China, he has to get up before six every morning．

　　A report shows that without a good night's sleep, students seem to be weaker 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 students should develop good study habits．So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class．

1．Why did the 10-year-old boy beg for one more minute to sleep?

___________________________________________

2．What does“early birds”mean in this passage?

___________________________________________

3．What may happen to students if they don't get enough sleep?

___________________________________________

4．What does“stay up late”mean here?

5．Why are some clever students able to work well in class?

When do you become an adult, a grown-up? At eighteen? Twenty-one? Thirty? Adulthood may seem a long way to you, but the fact is that you are in the process of becoming an adult right now. The changes are so gradual逐步的）( that you may not notice them ,but you can be sure that they’re happening.
When you were a child, a parent or an older relative probably bought your clothes and helped you clean up your room. Now you are likely to have a clothes allowance, to care for your bedroom, and to share other cleaning chores. You may once have had trouble getting your homework finished on time. By now, you may have learned to pace yourself. You know how much time you need. Do you remember begging your parents to stop for ice cream, or take an after-school job when you want money for a new clock radio? Of course, you don’t always budget your time and your money perfectly. Your room doesn’t always pass inspection. And you are often less than even tempered when something upsetting happens. But you’re learning.
As you get older, you have more privileges(特權(quán)) and more responsibilities. You may baby-sit for younger brothers and sisters, help cook dinner, and do odd jobs to contribute to the family income. You may get to stay up to watch a late movie on television, sit in on adult conversations, take subways and buses alone, or go on camping trips with your friends. Eventually, you will have a job and an apartment of your own.
You’ll become a voter and perhaps a husband or wife, maybe even a parent. But doing things adults do does not necessarily mean you will be wiser, braver, or more self-assured. It takes time to acquire knowledge and build self-confidence. Adults need to test themselves in the world, just as you do as a teenager. Being an adult is a continual process of growth.
