So which country, except English-speaking countries, speaks English best? And where does China rank(排名)?The Netherlands(荷兰) ranked first, followed by Denmark and Sweden. The rankings are based on English reading and listening test results of 950, 000 people from 72 countries and areas.The English level in China is still low, ranking 39th. In China, people in Shanghai are the best English speakers. They speak better English than Italians and French. Hong Kong and Beijing follow Shanghai as Chinas next best English-speaking cities.Shanghai and Beijing rank high because they are international cities. However, across China, English level is different from east to west. China has 400 million English learners, reported China Daily. However, the teaching of English in some areas is not very good. According to the Peoples Daily Online, there are seventy primary schools in Shetianqiao town in Hunan, but only one English teacher. Many students still learn English by rote memorizaton(死记硬背).Sebastian Magnusson, an officer at the Swedish embassy(瑞典大使馆) in Beijing, gave some advice. Swedish people speak English well and Magnusson himself is also fluent in Chinese. He said TV programs, movies and even computer games could be learning tools. “Do not limit(限制) it to textbooks.

Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger(手指)with his eyes still closed, begging(请求)for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students early birds in China, he has to get up before six every morning.A report shows that without a good nights sleep, students seem to be weaker(虚弱)than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep(睡觉) during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class.（1）The 10-year-old boy begged for more minute to sleep because_.
