| There should be no weekend homework for us. Five days given to school are enough for the modern students, who have many other interests. With homework for Sunday, when can we find time to help around the house, join in a football or basketball game, volunteer at some public places, or just rest? Because of all these other acitivities, weekend homework is usually not done until Sunday night. It is often done so poorly that on Monday teachers scold (责备) the whole class of students who have no idea of what the learned lessons are about. Without homework for the weekends, students could go to school on Monday well-rested and willing to study. Teachers, don't you agree with us? |

| Nowadays we can calculate time very accurately, but before the invention of the clocks, it was very difficult. One way people told the time was by using sun-dials, but it was impossible to tell the time on cloudy days or at night. The first clock was invented in China by Su Sung in 1088. The first clock in England was invented 195 years later. The first watch was invented in Italy in 1462. Early watches were different from today's in two ways. First, they only had an hour hand. Second, you could not wear them on your wrist. You had to keep them in your pocket, So they were called "pocket clocks". The first wrist watches came from Switzerland 328 years after the first pocket clocks, but nobody bought them. They did not become popular for a hundred years. |

| A grown-up person has ten or eleven pints(品脱) of blood inside his or her body. We can lose a pint of blood without feeling anything, but if we lose too much blood, we feel weak and cold. Our faces become pale (苍白). We may die. This is what often happens when somebody is hurt in an accident, or a soldier is hurt in a war. Many people used to die in this way. But today they can be taken to hospital and given more blood. Almost at once they feel better. Their faces are no longer pale. They do not die. Where does this blood come from? People who are healthy may donate blood to a bloocl bank so that it can be used to save people's lives. When they go to donate blood, a special kind of needle(针) is put into the arm. It does not hurt. The blood runs through the needle and through a rubber tube(橡胶管) into a bottle or a bag. A pint of blood is taken this way. The person who has given blood drinks a cup of tea or coffee and rests for a few miuntes. Then he feels quite well. And he may give his blood this way six months later. A person who gives blood feels happy, because he knows that his blood will be used to save someone's life. Perhaps one day he himself will need blood. When you are older, you may give blood, too.
