Question

Have you ever been tired of your teachers when the bell rang,but they didn't stop their classes? Today，there is a great change. Shanghai No. 8 Middle School begins to use a new bell this term. It helps teachers remember it is break time. The new bell has 3 parts. The first part lasts 15 seconds, and it's made up of lovely folk music. Next,there are 20 seconds of silence. The final 25-second bell is a fast-paced march(快節(jié)奏進(jìn)行曲)that seems to tell each teacher, " You have to end your class now."

All the students welcome the bell. Chen Hong，a student，said， " We tried many ways to stop teachers before, but nothing worked. It's better now.”

Shen Huimin, a teacher at No. 8 Middle School，agrees that the new bell is creative(有創(chuàng)意的)."In the past,we usually wanted to add a few words after class. But we often forgot the time," she said. "The new bell reminds us twice. It's a small change, but it's really solving a big problem.”
