读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中单词的正确形式填空。
Sometimes, between taking part in sports clubs, doing chores and catching up on homework, a two-day weekend isn't long enough. 1If schools had weekends that lasted three days, there would be more free time for pupils and teachers. What do you think? Should 2schools (school) have a four-day week?
Yes—longer weekends would be fun. Three days off at the weekend 3leaves (leave) more time to do fun activities. There would be no need to worry 4about homework taking up too much of the weekend. There would also be more time 5to rest (rest), which could help pupils study better at school. If pupils are well rested when they come into class, they will find it much easier to concentrate on lessons. Having classes isn't 6boring (bore) for pupils either.
No—it would mean getting up even earlier. A four-day school week sounds 7really (real) easy but pupils still need the same amount of education. This means that each school day would have to go on for 8longer (long). Pupils would need to wake up earlier than they already do, possibly making them tired and less able to study. It would also reduce free time in 9the evening. Besides, lots of parents work five days a week. If schools had four-day weeks, parents would have to find someone to look after 10their (they) children on that day off, which could be difficult.
