Enjoying a better life at school, with shorter class hours, greater privacy(隐私)and more rights is all you dream of, right?

For students in Shanghai, they are no longer just dreams. This week experts(行家)and law-makers in Shanghai had a meeting to talk about a new law(法律). It is called the “Shanghai Underage Protection Law(上海未成年人保护法)”.

The law says students’ diaries and letters are their secrets and “Nobody can read them if they don’t agree.”

Do your teachers sometimes say something bad to you? Maybe they send you out of the classroom because you fail to finish doing your homework. If this happens in Shanghai, you can stand up and say “No”.

Shanghai students may have less homework because of the law. Class hours may become shorter for juniors next year, down from 45 minutes to 40 minutes in some schools.

The law also talks about students’ health. According to the rules,“Smoking in these places full of kids is not allowed.”That means you can ask your teacher to stop if he smokes in a classroom.

The law makes schools safer for students. “No dancing halls, Internet bars or computer game bars are allowed within(在……以内)200 meters of a school gate.” the law says.

The law is great, right? Many students like it.

“My mom reads my diaries sometimes. I think she will be afraid if I tell her she is doing something against the law.” said Luo Jia, 13, at Shanghai Fuxing Junior School.

If you want to know more about the law, go to “www.spcsc.sh.cn”.

One day Vimala and her new friend. Mary, were playing at school. Mary was a very quiet and shy girl but Vimala liked her. While jumping, Mary’s glasses fell off and broke. Just then the bell rang and they had to hurry to their science class.

“Oh dear, I'm going to be as blind as a bat. But we'd better hurry. It's Miss Lee's class, "said Maray.

At the start of the lesson, Miss Lee explained how to do the experiment to produce large eye crystals. Then she started to question the class. Nobody dared to give a wrong answer because Miss Lee was a very strict teacher Miss Lee held up a clamp(夹具) and said, "What do we use it for? What do we call it? All the girls looked down, while she looked at their heads for one to pick on. "Mary?" she finally asked.

Mary was sitting at the back of the class. She stood up and peered at Miss Lee, but she could not see clearly what the teacher was holding. She was nervous a bit and did not answer.

Miss Lee repeated her question. This time she spoke more slowly and there was anger in her voice.

"What is this used for ?" she asked

Vimala saw storm clouds climbing up to Miss Lee's face. She knew that the storm was about to burst on Mary, so she put up her hand. Miss Lee paid no attention to her and stared through narrowed eyes at Mary, waiting for an answer.

Mary did not know what to say. She looked to her left and right for help. Too seared to say out that she couldn’t see clearly, Mary hoped that if she kept quiet Miss Lee would ask somebody else.

Vimala guessed what was wrong, so she decided to take a risk. She jumped to her feet and said, "Excuse me. Miss Lee. Mary broke her glasses just before the lesson started. I don't think she can see the clamp clearly. "Then she sat down, praying (祈祷)that the ceiling would not fall on her.

“Oh!” Miss Lee said, a little surprised. She had thought that Mary was refusing to answer.

Now that she understood, her anger faded away. “Thank you, Vimala.” she said Then she turned

to Mary and said, “Come and look at this.”

Mary left her chair and went to the front of the class.

“It’s a clamp.” she said. "We can put it on a metal stand(支架) and use it to hold things in place.”

"Well, you got it right at last. "Miss Lee said with a brief smile. But you'd better not do any experiments until your glasses have been repaired. You can watch Vimala while she does the experiment.

The storm clouds disappeared. The smile disappeared from Miss Lee's face and she continued with the lesson. Vimala winked at Mary who peered at her and smiled weakly.

For us students who are studying at school, the time of exams is very stressful and difficult. Some people find exam times so bad that they become ill, because they

are afraid of failing; they are afraid of letting their parents and family down. If exams are really making you ill or worried, don’t hide your feelings. Talk to someone about it. Maybe you can speak to a friend, or someone in your family, or teachers at your place of study. If one person doesn’t help you, ask someone else.

How to get through exams? Here are some①________ （建议）：

To this advice, we could add:

If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed. Your mind will still be“going round and round”-thinking too much. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise. Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things.

Homework exams and most importantly, test scores--- the things you have to worry about seem endless. You are sure not alone. In China, many students are stressed out because of too much homework. But there might be good news for some of them.

On Oct 28th, the Education Department of Zhejiang Province polished a draft(提纲) on cutting students’ homework to ask about public opinions and it had became a hot topic. It gives primary school pupils the right to leave their homework unfinished after 9pm, and junior high school students after 10pm, with parents’ permission.

Children in Zhejiang will like the draft. However, it has mat strong objections(反对) from parents. Although parents don’t want their children under too much pressure with homework, many disagree to cut homework down.

There is a reason for the objections：gaokao, the “all-important” national entrance exam. If schools reduce homework, “the parents, who want their children to get higher scores, must provide them with more after-school trainings,” said a primary school teacher in Hangzhou.

The aim of this draft, an official in Zhejiang explained, is to help to treat students differently and make sure they get enough sleep.

Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the National Institute of Education Sciences, also doubted if the guidelines would be carried on. “They are not suitable in the recent social environment.” He said to People’s Daily.

“Even if schools make changes, it is difficult to change the way that students study for scores.” He suggests that it would make better sense to make the system of college admission more flexible, and in many other countries, the performance of students is judged by professional institution rather than government.

1.What does underlined “many” in para.3 refer to?

A.Children who will welcome the move.

B.Parents who are against the move.

C.Teachers who don’t want their students to be under some stress.

D.The officials who are worried about the move.

2.What is NOT true according to the passage?

A.The draft is not welcomed by many parents in Zhejiang.

B.Maybe parents will send their children to more after-school training.

C.The aim of the draft is to make sure students can have enough time to exercise.

D.Students should be treated differently.

3.What does Chu Zhaohui mainly want to tell us?

A.Students will have more chance to take part in the activities they like because of the draft.

B.The system of college admission should be changed as the school has made changes.

C.Students should spend more time doing homework if we change the system of college admissions.

D.The performance of students should be judged by their school.

4.What is the best title of this passage?

A.Can students have the right to do whatever they like?

B.Can parents pay less attention to their kids?

C.Can schools have the chance to choose students?

D.Can students spend less time doing homework?
