Last month we asked our students about their free time activities. Our questions were about exercise, use of the Internet and watching TV.
We found that only fifteen percent of our students exercise every day. Forty-five percent exercise four to six times a week. Twenty percent exercise only one to three times a week.
We all know that many students often go online, but we were surprised that ninety percent of them use the Internet every day. The other ten percent use it at least three or four times a week. Most students use it for fun and not for homework.

Hi everyone! I like sports very much and play basketball almost every day. I also like to eat fast food, but my parents ask me to eat it only once a month.
——Bill
Sorry to hear that, Bill. However, maybe your parents are right. Fast food isn’t good for you. I seldom eat it. On weekends, I often do some housework to make my parents relax ( 放松). And I use the Internet only once a week. I have a lot of homework to do every day.
——Kate
Yes, we students are always busy with our studies. But on Friday evening, I usually go shopping with my mother. It’s really fun. I enjoy watching TV, too. And I do it almost every day. So my parents are kind of unhappy sometimes.
——Tony
All parents like that. My parents never let me watch TV or play computer games! On weekends, they always want me to study almost every minute. But luckily, I can go to movies with them every Saturday. And on Sunday they let me go out with my friends when I finish my homework. Sometimes they are really good!

【推荐2】Can you get enough sleep? With so much homework it’s often difficult for you to get enough sleep. However, you should know that enough sleep keeps you healthy and stops you from getting fat.
A group of American scientists do a study among the local kids aged between 8 and 13. The study finds that if kids sleep for an extra (另外的) hour each day, the chance of getting fat will be reduced by about 30%. Why? Because if kids don’t get enough sleep, they will be tired. When they are tired, they don’t exercise enough. Besides, kids like snacks. If they are awake for an extra hour each day, they will have more time to eat snacks or other unhealthy foods.
How much sleep should kids get? Scientists suggest that kids aged between 5 and 12 should sleep for ten to eleven hours a night. For older kids, eight to nine hours will do.

It is often said that dogs are “man’s best friends”. But for some children in China, this idea has deeper meanings.
Wu Qi, a dog trainer in Shanghai, started the Paw for Heal (PFH) program in China about eight years ago. The program trains dogs to help people in need. These animals help elderly people feel relaxed. They also help people with mental(精神的) illnesses.
In Shanghai, the dogs have been trained to help kids with autism(自闭症). They are easily scared by their environments. But when the PFH dogs are around, they feel much better.
Pet owners can train their pets to be part of the program. Although this training is difficult (only 20% of dogs end up passing the program), it also helps a lot of people.
“She (my dog) makes me happy every day, and I think she can bring happiness to other people in need as well,” pet owner Wang Rui said in a report.
The program is new to China, but Wu has high hopes for the future, as he is now working together with a Scottish university to improve his program. “Through learning from the European team, China may shorten the time to catch up with other countries in this field.”
