Over the course of the pandemic, the landscape of education has greatly changed, but that hasn’t kept one brilliant girl whose dreams have never been earthbound from reaching for the stars.
While most pre-teens are facing the challenges of middle school, at age 12, Alena Analeigh has already earned her high school diploma and is set to attend Arizona State University via remote learning.
With a planned double major in astronomical science and chemistry, Alena’s goal is to become a NASA engineer by the time she’s 16, where she hopes to employ her extraordinary skills to build rovers (火星车) like the ones sent to Mars on missions.
“I’ll be driving one of those future space mobiles by the time I graduate from college,” she told ABC News. A distant goal, perhaps. But according to Alena’s mother, Daphne, her daughter had already set her sights on a career with the space agency when she was a little girl. “She would always say, ‘Mom, I’m going to work for NASA,’” Daphne told ABC News. “Then she would start saying, ‘I’m going to be the youngest black girl to ever work for NASA.’”
Alena’s space journey began with her early interest in Lego building toys, from which she built complex models of everything from the Taj Mahal and the Disney castle to the Apollo II rover and a NASA rocket. While building Lego toys, she learned to bring her imaginations to completion. That is mainly what enables this talent to get closer and closer to her life goal, and her smart scientific mind has led Alena to be a sharp observer in other fields of life as well.
Alena sees different opportunities in STEM (short for science, technology, engineering and math) for women and people of color. She hopes to serve as an example to other girls—they shouldn’t let the opinions of others keep them from going after their own dreams. “It doesn’t matter what your age is or what you’re planning to do,” she told ABC News. “Go for it; dream and then achieve it.”
24. How is Alena different from most pre-teens?
A. She attends high school via remote learning.
B. She is already qualified for higher education.
C. She has got the chance to set foot on Mars.
D. She teaches her friends to build rover models.
25. What does Alena’s mother say about Alena’s career goal?
A. It took root very early. B. It sounds unrealistic.
C. It was once destroyed. D. It proves challenging.
26. What can we learn about Alena from paragraph 5?
A. She has designed best-selling toys.
B. Her enthusiasm for Lego toys fades.
C. She likes traveling around the world.
D. Her interest prepares her for her life goal.
27. What message does the story seem to convey?
A. Fame is a great thirst of the young.
B. Success means seizing opportunities.
C. Interest and ambition urge one forward.
D. Experience helps to promote excellence.
C
“Alexa, what’s 5 minus 3?” A 6-year-old boy recently asked that question in a video, which was popular on Twitter. Alexa, Amazon’s voice-started assistant, delivered a quick answer: 2.
It’s cute, but it raises a question that’s been on the minds of many parents and educators lately: How do virtual assistants like Alexa affect children’s learning experiences?
Clint Hill, an English teacher, says in his classrooms he often sees “children quietly talking into their phones and asking Google or other services to spell some complicated words that they don’t know.” But Hill says he doesn’t mind. “I struggle with spelling, and spellcheck on my word processing has been a lifesaver for me.” he says. “I think being able to use those technological aids is not hurting anybody,” Hill adds.
But some experts say it’s not just about learning basic math or spelling. “One of the best gifts we can give our children is doing that kind of problem-solving together,” says Diane Levin, a professor of applied human development. Levin says it’s important for children to learn to struggle—even just a little—with challenges. “They will use those skills that they’re learning for all kinds of things that come along,” Levin says.
How much concern should parents have over Alexa and their children? Every new wave of technology, from calculators to TV sets, causes a panic about its effect on children, and nostalgia (怀旧) for the past, says Dimitri Christakis, an expert in child health, behavior and development.
But he says that a child watching television is having completely passive experience. “Because new technology is interactive, it helps understand how the world works,” Christakis says. “But while watching television, you play no role in the content,” Christakis says.
Still, he agrees that this debate is about much more than knowing what 5 minus 3 is. It’s also about developing the patience to solve problems. “That ability to stay focused,” he says, “is one of the most important developmental skills that children acquire.”
28. What can be inferred from Hill’s words?
A. Technological aids are helpful.
B. His students don’t use their brains.
C. His students aren’t focused in class.
D. Spelling is really difficult for small children.
29. What can we learn about technological aids in Levin’s opinion?
A. They fail to solve problems.
B. They give children challenges.
C. They present a threat to teachers at school.
D. They are harmful to children’s development.
30. Which of the following would Christakis agree with?
A. New technology affects children most.
B. New technology tends to cause worries.
C. Television has been a thing of the past.
D. Today’s parents are too concerned.
31. What does Christakis stress about children in the last paragraph?
A. Their ability to interact with others.
B. Their ability to learn from the past.
C. Their ability to study technology.
D. Their ability to pay attention.
D
Humans are not the only ones adapting to the effects of global climate change. Animals are also adapting to the environmental changes—as some warm-blooded animals are beginning to “shapeshift” their bodies in response to shifts in climate, according to a recent study in Trends in Ecology & Evolution led by Sara Ryding, a researcher at Deakin University in Australia.
In the study, researchers identified new evidence that supports the theory that some warm-blooded animals are experiencing changes to their bodies due to the rising temperatures, resulting in larger legs, ears and beaks in some cases. The researchers noted that according to a principle known as “Allen’s Rule,” warm-blooded animals living in colder climates tend to have smaller appendages (like beaks or legs) than animals of the same species living in warmer climates.
Some of the most convincing evidence of shapeshifting was found in birds in Australia and North America, according to researchers. Certain species of Australian parrots have demonstrated about 4%-10% increase in the size of their beaks since 1871, which researchers attribute to rising temperatures. In North America, the dark-eyed junco (暗眼灯草雀) also has been seen an increase in beak size. Larger beaks help birds dissipate additional body heat more effectively, the study said, which is a useful feature as global temperatures rise.
“A lot of the time when climate change is discussed in mainstream media, people are asking ‘can humans overcome this?’ or ‘what technology can solve this?’” Ryding said in a news release from Cell Press. She said that just like humans, animals also had to adapt to climate changes. Ryding added, “The climate change that we have created is putting a whole lot of pressure on them, and while some species will adapt, others will not.” “Shapeshifting does not mean that animals are coping with climate change and that all is ‘fine,’” Ryding said, “It just means they are evolving to survive it.”
32. What do we know from the recent study led by Sara Ryding?
A. All species will not adapt to climate change.
B. Animals are dealing with climate change well.
C. The junco has been seen an increase in beak size in Australia.
D. Animals living in warmer climates tend to have smaller beaks.
33. What does the underlined word “dissipate” in paragraph3 probably mean?
A. Take in. B. Turn off. C. Build up. D. Get rid of.
34. Which of the following best describe Sara Ryding’s feeling about the animal’s shape-shift?
A. Concerned. B. Confused. C. Indifferent. D. Amazed.
35. What can be the best title of this passage?
A. Animals Are Coping with Climate Change.
B. Rising Temperatures Are Threatening Animals.
C. Humans Are To Blame for Animals Shapeshift.
D. Climate Change Is Making Some Species Shapeshift.

It’s common to read sayings urging people to be kind to others without thinking or planning ahead. But several studies suggest there are some very good reasons to think about ways to be kind and nicely plan out that type of behavior. 36 Researchers also say kindness played an important part in how humans developed. In other words, they say scientific evidence suggests that we are designed to be kind.
Oliver Curry is the research director at Kindlab, a non-profit organization. 37 Curry claims that “kindness is much older than religion.” “The basic reason why people are kind is that we are social animals.” he explained.
38 University of London psychologist Anat Bardi studies value systems in people. In one study, researchers gave people a list of values—such as kindness, creativity, ambition, tradition, security, and seeking social justice. When asked to pick the most important, kindness won.
Other research shows that our bodies can also reward us for being kind. University of California Riverside psychology professor Sonja has tested this idea in many experiments over the past 20 years. In one experiment, she asked people to perform three acts of kindness for other individuals each week. She asked a different group to do three acts of self-kindness. 39 The people who were kind to others reported feeling happier and more connected to the world.
40 Sonja studied a group of people with the disease multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化). She found that they felt better physically when helping others. Her research also showed that people who performed more acts of kindness had less inflammation (发炎) in their bodies.
A. Research has shown that many people prize kindness over other values.
B. Research shows that kindness can be good for many species
C. These acts could be small, like opening a door for someone.
D. Its goal is to educate and urge people to choose kindness.
E. Research shows that acts of kindness can improve our health.
F. But it is not just emotional but also physical.
G. That is why we help strangers in need.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。
Ben was awakened by a gunshot. He looked out toward the frozen lake. Near the trees he saw a shining piece of metal. When it moved, Ben saw that it was a long gun. A minute later a man wearing hunting clothes came out of the woods.
Suddenly a bird flew up. The man quickly put the gun to his shoulder and shot. Ben watched the bird, praying it had not been hurt. It flew near the ground and went into some tall bushes. Safe, Ben thought. The hunter didn’t move for a moment. Then he began to follow the bird. “No hunting!” Ben shouted, “No hunting on my land !” The man called back, “Where can I hunt?”
Ben had just finished putting on his clothes when he heard another gunshot. He walked toward the lake. Fight was the last thing he wanted, but the man must leave. Suddenly he heard a bird’s wings beating the dry grass. Ben moved quickly towards the sound. He saw a colored head...the head of a beautiful bird. The bird flapped its wings, one of which was broken completely.
Ben lifted the bird and held it close against his body. It fought to escape, but soon lay quietly in Ben’s arms. Ben decided to take the bird home and fix its broken wing so that it could fly again. He was almost through the woods when he heard the hunter behind him. “You just find that bird?” the hunter asked, stepping closer and said, “Give me that bird!”
“You get off my land,” Ben told him. The man’s face got red. “Mister,” he said, “I have been hunting here all my life. I grew up here.” Ben looked into the hunter’s gray eyes, and his voice raised, “I do not know who you are and I do not care. I own this place and I am telling you to leave!” “Now look, mister,” the hunter insisted, “Be reasonable.” He tapped his figures on the gun. A cold wind blew across Ben’s face. He felt a chill go down his spine. He could still give the bird to the hunter and return home safe.

应用文参考范文
l experienced the Naadam Festival in Inner Mongolia for the first time this year. The festival falls on the fourth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, usually lasting for three days.
l absolutely enjoyed the archery and wrestling, but the horse races were my favorite part. At first, I was surprised to see that the riders were boys and girls until a local explained children are lighter so the horses can run faster. I was slightly concerned about their safety, but he added, “Don’t worry. They’ve been riding horses all their lives.” It was at the moment that I made sense of why people say “Horses are at the heart of Mongolian culture”.
I’m finally back home now, feeling really tired, but celebrating Naadam was totally worth it.
续写参考范文
The bird struggled weakly and made a wild, strange noise. The sound made Ben’s heart ache. It seemed as if he could sense the bird’s fear and helplessness. Holding the bird tightly in his arms, Ben knew that he just couldn’t give up on this tiny life. His eyes raised and gazing directly into the hunter’s, he declared at the top if his voice, “No way! You must get out of my land right now!” The firm and steady gaze sent a strong message to the hunter that by no means would he give in. There was a suffocating silence between the two men. Eventually, the hunter’s rough voice broke the silence. “You are a fool.” And then to Ben’s great relief, he slowly walked away.
Ben watched until he was gone and went to the house. He carefully laid the bird on the soft pillow, applied some medicine to the wound and bandaged its broken wing. Smoothing its beautiful feathers, he murmured in a soft voice to the bird, “You’re going to be Okay and soon you will be able to fly in the sky.” Under his careful nursing, the bird recovered sooner than expected and, in the meantime, a special bond seemed to be formed between the man and the bird. When the bird finally made its full recovery, Ben knew it was time to set it free. Though reluctant, watching the bird flapping its wings and soaring high into the sky, Ben smiled. The frozen lake, the quiet woods and the flying birds made the place a paradise.

W: Everyone has a natural sleep routine. You go to bed and wake up at a certain time. But everyone’s routine is not the same. Some people—the early birds—go to bed early at night (around 9:00 or 10:00 p.m.). In the morning, they wake up easily and are energetic. Others—the night owls—stay awake late (until midnight or later). For them, it is difficult to wake up early. What do we know about early birds and night owls? Here is what studies show.
Teenagers are natural night owls. Also, most need nine to ten hours’ sleep a night. But in many places, the school or work day starts at 8:00 a.m. For this reason, only one in five teenagers sleeps enough. More early birds get good grades in school, but night owls do better on some intelligence tests, according to a study of 1,000 Spanish teens. People with high scores on these tests usually get good jobs.

Over the course of the pandemic, the landscape of education has greatly changed, but that hasn’t kept one brilliant girl whose dreams have never been earthbound from reaching for the stars.
While most pre-teens are facing the challenges of middle school, at age 12, Alena Analeigh has already earned her high school diploma and is set to attend Arizona State University via remote learning.
With a planned double major in astronomical science and chemistry, Alena’s goal is to become a NASA engineer by the time she’s 16, where she hopes to employ her extraordinary skills to build rovers (火星车) like the ones sent to Mars on missions.
“I’ll be driving one of those future space mobiles by the time I graduate from college,” she told ABC News. A distant goal, perhaps. But according to Alena’s mother, Daphne, her daughter had already set her sights on a career with the space agency when she was a little girl. “She would always say, ‘Mom, I’m going to work for NASA,’” Daphne told ABC News. “Then she would start saying, ‘I’m going to be the youngest black girl to ever work for NASA.’”
Alena’s space journey began with her early interest in Lego building toys, from which she built complex models of everything from the Taj Mahal and the Disney castle to the Apollo II rover and a NASA rocket. While building Lego toys, she learned to bring her imaginations to completion. That is mainly what enables this talent to get closer and closer to her life goal, and her smart scientific mind has led Alena to be a sharp observer in other fields of life as well.
Alena sees different opportunities in STEM (short for science, technology, engineering and math) for women and people of color. She hopes to serve as an example to other girls—they shouldn’t let the opinions of others keep them from going after their own dreams. “It doesn’t matter what your age is or what you’re planning to do,” she told ABC News. “Go for it; dream and then achieve it.”
24. How is Alena different from most pre-teens?
A. She attends high school via remote learning.
B. She is already qualified for higher education.
C. She has got the chance to set foot on Mars.
D. She teaches her friends to build rover models.
25. What does Alena’s mother say about Alena’s career goal?
A. It took root very early. B. It sounds unrealistic.
C. It was once destroyed. D. It proves challenging.
26. What can we learn about Alena from paragraph 5?
A. She has designed best-selling toys.
B. Her enthusiasm for Lego toys fades.
C. She likes traveling around the world.
D. Her interest prepares her for her life goal.
27. What message does the story seem to convey?
A. Fame is a great thirst of the young.
B. Success means seizing opportunities.
C. Interest and ambition urge one forward.
D. Experience helps to promote excellence.
C
“Alexa, what’s 5 minus 3?” A 6-year-old boy recently asked that question in a video, which was popular on Twitter. Alexa, Amazon’s voice-started assistant, delivered a quick answer: 2.
It’s cute, but it raises a question that’s been on the minds of many parents and educators lately: How do virtual assistants like Alexa affect children’s learning experiences?
Clint Hill, an English teacher, says in his classrooms he often sees “children quietly talking into their phones and asking Google or other services to spell some complicated words that they don’t know.” But Hill says he doesn’t mind. “I struggle with spelling, and spellcheck on my word processing has been a lifesaver for me.” he says. “I think being able to use those technological aids is not hurting anybody,” Hill adds.
But some experts say it’s not just about learning basic math or spelling. “One of the best gifts we can give our children is doing that kind of problem-solving together,” says Diane Levin, a professor of applied human development. Levin says it’s important for children to learn to struggle—even just a little—with challenges. “They will use those skills that they’re learning for all kinds of things that come along,” Levin says.
How much concern should parents have over Alexa and their children? Every new wave of technology, from calculators to TV sets, causes a panic about its effect on children, and nostalgia (怀旧) for the past, says Dimitri Christakis, an expert in child health, behavior and development.
But he says that a child watching television is having completely passive experience. “Because new technology is interactive, it helps understand how the world works,” Christakis says. “But while watching television, you play no role in the content,” Christakis says.
Still, he agrees that this debate is about much more than knowing what 5 minus 3 is. It’s also about developing the patience to solve problems. “That ability to stay focused,” he says, “is one of the most important developmental skills that children acquire.”
28. What can be inferred from Hill’s words?
A. Technological aids are helpful.
B. His students don’t use their brains.
C. His students aren’t focused in class.
D. Spelling is really difficult for small children.
29. What can we learn about technological aids in Levin’s opinion?
A. They fail to solve problems.
B. They give children challenges.
C. They present a threat to teachers at school.
D. They are harmful to children’s development.
30. Which of the following would Christakis agree with?
A. New technology affects children most.
B. New technology tends to cause worries.
C. Television has been a thing of the past.
D. Today’s parents are too concerned.
31. What does Christakis stress about children in the last paragraph?
A. Their ability to interact with others.
B. Their ability to learn from the past.
C. Their ability to study technology.
D. Their ability to pay attention.
D
Humans are not the only ones adapting to the effects of global climate change. Animals are also adapting to the environmental changes—as some warm-blooded animals are beginning to “shapeshift” their bodies in response to shifts in climate, according to a recent study in Trends in Ecology & Evolution led by Sara Ryding, a researcher at Deakin University in Australia.
In the study, researchers identified new evidence that supports the theory that some warm-blooded animals are experiencing changes to their bodies due to the rising temperatures, resulting in larger legs, ears and beaks in some cases. The researchers noted that according to a principle known as “Allen’s Rule,” warm-blooded animals living in colder climates tend to have smaller appendages (like beaks or legs) than animals of the same species living in warmer climates.
Some of the most convincing evidence of shapeshifting was found in birds in Australia and North America, according to researchers. Certain species of Australian parrots have demonstrated about 4%-10% increase in the size of their beaks since 1871, which researchers attribute to rising temperatures. In North America, the dark-eyed junco (暗眼灯草雀) also has been seen an increase in beak size. Larger beaks help birds dissipate additional body heat more effectively, the study said, which is a useful feature as global temperatures rise.
“A lot of the time when climate change is discussed in mainstream media, people are asking ‘can humans overcome this?’ or ‘what technology can solve this?’” Ryding said in a news release from Cell Press. She said that just like humans, animals also had to adapt to climate changes. Ryding added, “The climate change that we have created is putting a whole lot of pressure on them, and while some species will adapt, others will not.” “Shapeshifting does not mean that animals are coping with climate change and that all is ‘fine,’” Ryding said, “It just means they are evolving to survive it.”
32. What do we know from the recent study led by Sara Ryding?
A. All species will not adapt to climate change.
B. Animals are dealing with climate change well.
C. The junco has been seen an increase in beak size in Australia.
D. Animals living in warmer climates tend to have smaller beaks.
33. What does the underlined word “dissipate” in paragraph3 probably mean?
A. Take in. B. Turn off. C. Build up. D. Get rid of.
34. Which of the following best describe Sara Ryding’s feeling about the animal’s shape-shift?
A. Concerned. B. Confused. C. Indifferent. D. Amazed.
35. What can be the best title of this passage?
A. Animals Are Coping with Climate Change.
B. Rising Temperatures Are Threatening Animals.
C. Humans Are To Blame for Animals Shapeshift.
D. Climate Change Is Making Some Species Shapeshift.

It’s common to read sayings urging people to be kind to others without thinking or planning ahead. But several studies suggest there are some very good reasons to think about ways to be kind and nicely plan out that type of behavior. 36 Researchers also say kindness played an important part in how humans developed. In other words, they say scientific evidence suggests that we are designed to be kind.
Oliver Curry is the research director at Kindlab, a non-profit organization. 37 Curry claims that “kindness is much older than religion.” “The basic reason why people are kind is that we are social animals.” he explained.
38 University of London psychologist Anat Bardi studies value systems in people. In one study, researchers gave people a list of values—such as kindness, creativity, ambition, tradition, security, and seeking social justice. When asked to pick the most important, kindness won.
Other research shows that our bodies can also reward us for being kind. University of California Riverside psychology professor Sonja has tested this idea in many experiments over the past 20 years. In one experiment, she asked people to perform three acts of kindness for other individuals each week. She asked a different group to do three acts of self-kindness. 39 The people who were kind to others reported feeling happier and more connected to the world.
40 Sonja studied a group of people with the disease multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化). She found that they felt better physically when helping others. Her research also showed that people who performed more acts of kindness had less inflammation (发炎) in their bodies.
A. Research has shown that many people prize kindness over other values.
B. Research shows that kindness can be good for many species
C. These acts could be small, like opening a door for someone.
D. Its goal is to educate and urge people to choose kindness.
E. Research shows that acts of kindness can improve our health.
F. But it is not just emotional but also physical.
G. That is why we help strangers in need.

Ben was awakened by a gunshot. He looked out toward the frozen lake. Near the trees he saw a shining piece of metal. When it moved, Ben saw that it was a long gun. A minute later a man wearing hunting clothes came out of the woods.
Suddenly a bird flew up. The man quickly put the gun to his shoulder and shot. Ben watched the bird, praying it had not been hurt. It flew near the ground and went into some tall bushes. Safe, Ben thought. The hunter didn’t move for a moment. Then he began to follow the bird. “No hunting!” Ben shouted, “No hunting on my land !” The man called back, “Where can I hunt?”
Ben had just finished putting on his clothes when he heard another gunshot. He walked toward the lake. Fight was the last thing he wanted, but the man must leave. Suddenly he heard a bird’s wings beating the dry grass. Ben moved quickly towards the sound. He saw a colored head...the head of a beautiful bird. The bird flapped its wings, one of which was broken completely.
Ben lifted the bird and held it close against his body. It fought to escape, but soon lay quietly in Ben’s arms. Ben decided to take the bird home and fix its broken wing so that it could fly again. He was almost through the woods when he heard the hunter behind him. “You just find that bird?” the hunter asked, stepping closer and said, “Give me that bird!”
“You get off my land,” Ben told him. The man’s face got red. “Mister,” he said, “I have been hunting here all my life. I grew up here.” Ben looked into the hunter’s gray eyes, and his voice raised, “I do not know who you are and I do not care. I own this place and I am telling you to leave!” “Now look, mister,” the hunter insisted, “Be reasonable.” He tapped his figures on the gun. A cold wind blew across Ben’s face. He felt a chill go down his spine. He could still give the bird to the hunter and return home safe.

l experienced the Naadam Festival in Inner Mongolia for the first time this year. The festival falls on the fourth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, usually lasting for three days.
l absolutely enjoyed the archery and wrestling, but the horse races were my favorite part. At first, I was surprised to see that the riders were boys and girls until a local explained children are lighter so the horses can run faster. I was slightly concerned about their safety, but he added, “Don’t worry. They’ve been riding horses all their lives.” It was at the moment that I made sense of why people say “Horses are at the heart of Mongolian culture”.
I’m finally back home now, feeling really tired, but celebrating Naadam was totally worth it.
续写参考范文
The bird struggled weakly and made a wild, strange noise. The sound made Ben’s heart ache. It seemed as if he could sense the bird’s fear and helplessness. Holding the bird tightly in his arms, Ben knew that he just couldn’t give up on this tiny life. His eyes raised and gazing directly into the hunter’s, he declared at the top if his voice, “No way! You must get out of my land right now!” The firm and steady gaze sent a strong message to the hunter that by no means would he give in. There was a suffocating silence between the two men. Eventually, the hunter’s rough voice broke the silence. “You are a fool.” And then to Ben’s great relief, he slowly walked away.
Ben watched until he was gone and went to the house. He carefully laid the bird on the soft pillow, applied some medicine to the wound and bandaged its broken wing. Smoothing its beautiful feathers, he murmured in a soft voice to the bird, “You’re going to be Okay and soon you will be able to fly in the sky.” Under his careful nursing, the bird recovered sooner than expected and, in the meantime, a special bond seemed to be formed between the man and the bird. When the bird finally made its full recovery, Ben knew it was time to set it free. Though reluctant, watching the bird flapping its wings and soaring high into the sky, Ben smiled. The frozen lake, the quiet woods and the flying birds made the place a paradise.

W: I guess, it’s just the idea of touching dirty plates that everyone ate off and then they sat at the sink for a couple of hours. And, it grosses me out.
M: Yeah. That’s interesting because I’m actually ... like ... I don’t like cooking. I hate to cook but I don’t mind doing the clean-up.

W: Everyone has a natural sleep routine. You go to bed and wake up at a certain time. But everyone’s routine is not the same. Some people—the early birds—go to bed early at night (around 9:00 or 10:00 p.m.). In the morning, they wake up easily and are energetic. Others—the night owls—stay awake late (until midnight or later). For them, it is difficult to wake up early. What do we know about early birds and night owls? Here is what studies show.
Teenagers are natural night owls. Also, most need nine to ten hours’ sleep a night. But in many places, the school or work day starts at 8:00 a.m. For this reason, only one in five teenagers sleeps enough. More early birds get good grades in school, but night owls do better on some intelligence tests, according to a study of 1,000 Spanish teens. People with high scores on these tests usually get good jobs.
