In China，more and more middle school students are getting shorter sleeping time than be-fore． Most students sleep less than nine hours every night，because they have much homework to do. Some homework is given by their teachers，and some by their parents． Also，some students don't know how to save time .They are not careful enough while they do their homework，so it takes them a Iot of time． Some students spend too much time watching TV or playing computer games．They stay up very late． Some students have to get up early every morning on weekdays to get to school on time by bus or by bike．lt can be a long way from home to school．

Schools and parents should cut down some of the homework so that our children can enjoy more than nine hours of sleep every night for their health． For children，we should make best use of our time． When we have enough time for sleeping，we will find it much better for both our study and health．

The world is not only hungry，it is also thirsty for water． this may seem strange to you，since nearly 75% of the earth is covered with water． But about 97% of this water is sea water．Man can only drink and use the other 3% fresh water that comes from rivers，lakes，under-ground and other places． And we cannot even use all of that，because some of this fresh water has been made dirty．

At the moment，this small amount(数量) of fresh water is still enough for us． However，our need for water is getting greater and greater． Only if we take steps to solve this problem now，we can get away from a serious world water shortage later on． The people of the world cannot have an enjoyable life without enough clean water．

On one hand we should stop wasting this little water of ours，on the other hand we should find ways to reuse it，but this has not been done widely．

Today，in most large cities，water is used only once and it then returns to the sea or runs into underground places．lf we can make it clean again，it can be used once more just as if it were fresh from a spring．

But even if large cities reuse its water，we still would not have enough in the future． Where．could we turn to next for water? To the ocean! How can we do to make use of this great a-mount of sea water? We can take the salt from the water to make it fresh．

So if we take all these steps，we'll be in no danger of drying up!
