ORLANDO, FLORIDA — Is it hard for you to get up early and get ready for classes? Some students at Winter Park High School just roll out of bed in their pajamas （睡衣） and go to class in their own bedrooms. Of course, their teachers and classmates do not see them because all their class work is on the computer.

The Florida high school, the state’s only on–line school, has 250 students who are taking classes at home by computer. “I’m a lot more comfortable at home,” says Luke Levesque, a 16-year-old boy who is taking a computer class on-line. He thinks the school’s computer lab is so noisy that he can’t study well. “Home is much better,” he says.

Students in this first on-line program take classes in Algebra （代数）, American government, chemistry, computer, economics, and Web-page design. They also have to go to a regular school to attend other classes.

When a student is ready to begin a class, he or she turns on the computer, reads the teacher’s instructions, and begins working on the lesson for the day. What happens if a student has a question for the teacher? Or the teacher wants to say something about the work a student is doing? The student and the teacher talk to each other every day through e-mail or he or she calls the teacher. For example, when Luke opened his daily e-mail from the teacher, it contained （包含） her instructions for the day’s computer lesson. When he finished, he e-mailed the work back to her for grading.

Is it easy for students to cheat on tests when they’re working at home? The teachers have already thought about this. They make students take their final exams in person in the classroom.

“You see most of the same things on-line that you see in a regular classroom,” says teacher Linda Hayes. “You get to know the students on-line.”

If this first on-line program goes well, in three years Florida high school students will be able to take all their classes by computer. When that happens, students will be able to get their high school diplomas （毕业证书） without having to set foot in a classroom.

THE 'China Daily', a newspaper, reports that the average student goes to sleep at 00:30 am. Even if that's an exaggeration (夸张), it's too close to the truth. Scientists say teens should sleep nine hours each night. But that's hard to do.
    Some even "pull all-nighters". These are lazy students who have homework due (到期) the next day that they haven't done. In the morning they don't look healthy and you can tell who's been doing it.
    One reporter did a survey on the problem. She found that most kids pull all-nighters to finish homework, but some do it for other reasons, such as playing computer games!
    Maybe the students’ lack (缺乏) of sleep is because of laziness - But in fact, few of them are lazy- or maybe it's because they have too much to do in middle schools.

Zhang Jialiang, a student in a middle school, usually go to bed around midnight. He says, “If I stayed up past 00:30 am, I wouldn't get any work done. I'd be falling asleep at my desk. My classes begin at 6:50 am. I'm partly awake in my first class. By the second, I'm slightly drowsy(困倦的). By my third class, I'm sleepy. By midday I'm finally wide-awake. But by 3:00 pm, I'm slowing down again. Yet I get more sleep than the China Daily's 'average student'.”
    Most Chinese middle schools seem to have a similar problem with sleepy students.
    Middle school classes start at 6:50 am, so students have to wake up one and a half hours before that to get ready and catch the bus. It's believed that lack of sleep can damage (损害) both grades and health.
    Some schools are paying attention. Classes in those schools start at 7:30 am.

A. Many kids have too much homework to do.

A. Laziness.           B. Homework.                     C. Housework.       D. Computer games.

A. Later start of classes.                                   B. Less homework.
