Does school start too early? Judging from the teenagers who yawn in class, it does. And those students aren’t just lazy. Scientific studies have shown that school does start too early for young students.
According to a series of studies done across the U.S., the later classes begin, the more academic performance improves. Boys and girls naturally stay up later and sleep in later. The trend begins around age 13 or 14 and peaks between 17 and 19.The teens also need more sleep in general, so forcing them to be up early for school cuts into their sleep time as well as their sleep rhythm, making them less ready to learn during those first-period classes.
Practice is proving the science. Hundreds of school districts in the U.S. have experimented with later start times and the academic performance of students has improved as a result. A study of 9,000 high school students in three states showed that grades in science, math, English and social studies all rose when school began at 8:35 or later. What’s more, attendance（出勤）goes up and student depression goes down.
The later school starts, the better the result, too. According to a study, delaying the opening bell from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. paid off more than delaying only until 8:00 a.m. Students who get at least eight hours of sleep, and preferably nine, perform better than those who do not, so a greater delay raises the chances of achieving those numbers.
So, it turns out morning class is just too early for students to learn chemistry equations（方程式）or study an ancient poem. If you cannot change the school schedule, adjusting your own timetable to ensure eight hours’ sleep can also help you perform better at school.
1.If the first period class begins too early, which problems might appear among students?
a. Being in low spirits.
b. Feeling sleepy.
c. Missing lessons frequently.
d. Performing poorly in English.
e. Becoming lazy.
A. a, b, c B. b, c, d C. c, d, e D. a, b, d
2.The writer proves “School starts too early” by ______.
A. doing survey
B. doing experiments
C. comparing statistics
D. observing students’ behaviour
3.According to the article, students can obtain relatively enough sleep by ______.
A. changing the sleep rhythm
B. changing the opening bell
C. adjusting their own schedule
D. sleeping as late as possible
4.It is implied in the passage that in the morning ______.
A. there should be no classes
B. students’ sleep should be guaranteed
C. there should be Chinese lessons
D. there should be no science lessons

A survey basing on 1,000 students found that 80% of senior students sleep
less than nine hours every night. One main reason lies at students’ bad habits.
Too much homework is given by school teachers is another main cause. Some students
are absent-minded while doing their homework, and some wasting their after-class time.
The third cause is that some students have to get up earlier on weekday to get to school that was far away from home. Experts think an amount of homework for the students should be cut down. Beside, teachers should encourage their students make good use of their spare time. Only in this way can the students improve our study efficiency.
