四川省遂宁市2021年中考英语真题试卷
What time does your school start? Do you wish you could get up later every morning? You are not alone if your answer is "Yes." In the US, many middle school students have the same wish.
In America, many schools start before 7:30 am. But that may change soon. A new law has been passed in California. According to the law, middle schools should not start before 8:00 am. The government hopes school children will have longer time in bed.
Many scientific studies show that teenagers are more active in the afternoon and in the evening. Simply telling them to go to bed earlier doesn't work well. Most of them don't get enough sleep because of bad sleeping habits and early school starting time. They need more sleep in the morning. Scientists suggest middle schools should start at 8:00 am. or later. Students can get well ready to learn and they won't fall asleep in class. ____________ The change can help improve students' grades.
While scientists are happy with the new law, many parents disagree with it. They won't be able to send their children to school before they go to work. They also fear that later school starting time will lead to later ending time. As a result, their children will have less time to take part in after-school activities.
It's good news that Chinese education experts have noticed the problem and made some rules about that. So what's your opinion? Do you expect China to pass a similar law?
