    Many people think that if more time is spent, more work will be done.So students have to1the whole day doing homework except during the three meals.It is not 2to see students lost in a sea of homework both at school and at home.

    Modern students usually have many 3. They love music, sports, reading and watching TV.A two­day weekend gives them time to do what they 4. However, there's much homework to do, so they usually don't want to do it 5 Sunday night.In such a short time, students may finish it carelessly.The badly­done weekend homework makes teachers 6.

    Things always get 7 without the right ideas.Too much homework makes students 8interests in learning.A horse runs faster after a 9, but for students only rest is not enough.We should 10 this situation and try to give students more time to relax.

    Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents.Every day they are very busy trying to make money for my schooling.

    One day, my mother was sewing a quilt(缝被子)．I silently sat beside her.

    "Mum, is there love between you and Dad？" I asked in a very low voice.

    With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her work for a while. Then she said，"Susan, look at this thread(线). It can hardly be seen, but it's really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside."

    I couldn't understand her until the next spring.At that time，my father suddenly got sick seriously.My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.

    After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day.They were so kind to each other and it seemed that they were the happiest couple.

    After two months my father still couldn't walk by himself.

    "Dad, how are you feeling now？" I asked him one day.

    "Susan, don't worry about me，"he said."I just like walking with your mum. I like this kind of life." Reading his eyes，I knew he loves my mother deeply.

    Now I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside，making life strong and warm.

    My name is Daniel.I am in Grade 8.This is my second year of middle school.When we finish Grade 9, we have to take an exam to continue(继续)our studies.We go to school five days a week and have seven classes every day.We study maths, Chinese and English.We also have other subjects.They are science, geography, history and P．E.P.E.is my favourite subject.

    We have different clubs to join after school.Some clubs are for fun, such as the guitar club and the chess club.Some clubs are for study, such as the English club and the science club.I'm a member of the English club.It is fun to learn English there.

    There are 1，800 students in our school.Many new students may have problems with their new school life.When they have problems, they often do not want to tell the teachers.In our school, senior students can join the Helping Hands Club.These brothers and sisters talk to the new students and try to help them with their problems.

    How do students spend their spare time after finishing their homework？Here's a good example.

    Tim and Kerry Meek are both teachers.They live in the UK with their two daughters: eleven­year­old Amy and nine­year­old Ella.Recently，the Meek family has become the focus of the whole country after they completed 100 different outdoor activities in one year.

    The Meek couple didn't want their children to spend all their free time in front of the TV and become "couch potatoes"．So they set 100 tasks for the two girls to do outside and they took part in all the activities to encourage their daughters.

    Every holiday and weekend，whether it's sunny，rainy or snowy，the Meeks would set off to try the activities on their list，including hiking，sailing，climbing，skiing，and so on.The two little girls not only had a wonderful time，but also learned a lot of skills from the activities.They were even able to stand up in front of the whole school to give a talk for charity."Our friends spend a lot of their free time doing things which are harmful to their health. Luckily we'vehadthechancetoexperiencesomethingdifferent."
