eams

　　at the very end of the joint university entrance eam, journalists always get a funny answer from graduated students: "now, what i want to do most is burn my tetbooks and eam papers." it seems few students have other ideas than to count the total number of all eam papers over a period of three years. it well be a wonderful number——over two thousand. really, such a surprising quantity of eams harms not only students bodies but also their social development.

　　first, overburdening eams destroy students health. every day, all they do is stay inside and study. students have no time for regular eercise, which is an essential part of maintaining good health. day after day they go without adequate sleep, which lowers their resistance to disease. in addition, worrying about endless eams, students lose their appetites and are incapable of relaing themselves even during sleep. suffering from lack of eercise, little sleep, bad appetites, and long-term tension, students look pale and sick when the entrance eam ends.

　　besides bodies destruction, lots of eams also make students socially narrow. without good grades, a student may consider he is useless and doomed to failure henceforth. probably, he would rather pursue high grades than deep friendship. he may take it for granted that improving his grades is more important than caring for his surroundings in his life as a student. more ridiculously, a so-called "ecellent student" can refer to one who is devoted to high grades, but indifferent to the benefit of his class. his young world seems to be built on eams and grades. miserably, grades have deeply occupied his heart, brain, and dreams. nayishi.com

　　of course, the proverb of "no pains, no gains." is doubtless true. however, entering a good school at the epense of healthful bodies and social awareness is too high a cost.
