A
Experts say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night , but more 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（央求） 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 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.

（ ）5.According to the passage , which of the following is right ?
A. If you want to study better, you must work hard
B. Sleeping less means working hard
C. Some clever students can work well in class because they have good study habits.
D. Students don’t have enough sleep only because they have a lot of homework to do.
B
One evening two young men were walking in the street together. They tried to find a chance to steal something. The clock struck twelve. Most of the people went to bed. Quickly they came to a house and it seemed that everyone in the house had fallen asleep. Standing at the front gate , one said in English to the other in a low voice , “You wait here. I’ll go around to the back door and then get into the house.” Suddenly out of the house ran a dog, barking at them. The two men were very frightened and ran away as fast as they could. Finally, they stopped at a lonely place. The man said breathlessly, “It’s too bad. I hadn’t expected that the dog could understand English.”
