What Do No.5 High School Students Do in Their Free Time?第五中学的学生在他们空闲的时间都做些什么呢?
Last month we asked our students about their free time activities.Our questions were about exercise,use of the Internet and watching TV.Here are the results.
上个月我们问了一些学生关于他们在空闲时间的活动有哪些.我们的问题大都是关于锻炼（做作业或者是锻炼身体之类）,上网和看电视.我们得到了这些答案.
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.And twenty percent do not exercise at all.
我们发现有15%的学生每天都要锻炼身体（这里可以翻译成练习、做作业等,下同）.45%的学生一周锻炼4至6次.20%的学生一周只锻炼1至3次.还有20%的学生一周都不锻炼.
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.
我们都知道很多学生经常上网,但是让我们惊讶的是有90%的学生每天都要上网、只有10%的学生一周上网至少3至4次.大多数学生上网都是为了娱乐或者做家庭作业.
The answer to our questions about watching television were also interesting.Only two percent of the students watch TV one to three times a week.Thirteen percent watch TV four to six times a week.And eighty-five percent watch TV every day!Although many students like to watch sports,game shows are the most popular.
对于我们问的关于看电视的问题也是令人感兴趣的.只有2%的学生一周看电视1至3次.13%的学生一周看电视4至6次.还有85%的学生每天都要看电视!但是很多学生都喜欢看体育节目,其中游戏节目是最受欢迎的.
It is good to relax by using the Internet or watching game shows,but we think the best way to relax is through exercise.It is healthy for the mind and the body.Exercise such as playing sports is fun,and you can spend time with your friends and family as you play together.And remember,“old habits die hard”.So start exercising before it’s too late!
上网和看游戏节目都是很好的放松方式,但是我们最好的放松方式应该是通过锻炼得到的.它对我们自身和身体健康又好处.锻炼就如体育运动是开心的,还有你可以利用锻炼的这些时间多陪陪你的朋友和家人.而且要记得“本性难移”（或翻译为积习难改）.所以别再等待了,从现在就开始锻炼吧.

（能不能至少让我把这个节目先看完？）
Sister：No.I think two hours of TV is enough for you！
（不行。我认为你看两个小时电视足够了。）
Brother：Fine.What do you want me to do？
（好吧。你想让我做什么？）
Sister：Could you take out the rubbish，fold the clothes and do the dishes？
（你能不能把垃圾拿出去倒了，折好衣服，还有洗碗？）
Brother：So much？
（要做这么多活啊？）
Sister：Yes，because Mom will be back from shopping any minute now.And she won't be happy if she sees this mess.
（对，因为妈妈现在随时都会购物回家来。如果她看到这一团糟，肯定会不高兴的。）
Brother：But the house is already pretty clean and tidy！
（但现在房子已经很干净整齐了。）
Sister：Yes，well，it's clean，but it's not “mother clean”！
（是的，嗯，是干净了，但没达到妈妈所要求的那么干净。）
