This is a letter by Selena Bieber to the students in her school.



Later Is Better!

Selena Bieber
Northville High School

Do you feel it’s hard to get up early for school and even harder to listen well in the first class at 8 a.m.? Well, this happens to most of us and is not helpful for our learning!

Some studies show that teenagers’ brains make melatonin, the hormone that helps sleep, between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m. So it’s better for us to sleep during these nine hours. But here comes the problem. We’re asked to get to school by 7:30 a.m. That means we have to get up before 7, when our brains should still be sleeping. That’s why we’re always so tired and can’t think clearly in early morning classes. No clear head, no good learning, right?

If we can’t change how our body works, why can’t school start later? In this way, we can not only sleep more but also learn better!

hormone 荷爾蒙
28.
What problem is Selena Bieber trying to fix?
Too many students are late for school.
Lunch break is too short for taking a rest.
Classes start too early in the morning.
High school lessons are too difficult.
29.
What can we learn from the letter?
Sleeping longer helps the body make more melatonin.
It is easier to fall asleep when the brain is making melatonin
Too much melatonin can hurt teenagers’ brain.
The brain stops making melatonin after 11 p.m.
30.
Below is some information from another study.

We studied 48 high school students and found that the students who went to bed earlier did better on their school tests. This is not only true for those who slept nine hours, but also true for those who slept less. And some of them agreed that they learned better in early morning classes.

Do the ideas in Selena Bieber’s letter agree with the information?
Yes, because her letter says getting up early is not helpful for learning.
No, because her letter says teenagers’ brains do not work well in early morning classes.
Yes, because her letter says it is better to sleep from 11 p.m. to 8 a.m.
No, because her letter says students are asked to get to school by 7:30 a.m.

Usually I wouldn’t cross the park at this time of night. But walking around the park would take more time, and it was raining so hard that I couldn’t even see clearly what was right before me. So I entered the park. And that was the first stupid thing I did tonight.

Soon after I walked into the park, I saw a man under a tree up ahead. My heart fell. The stories I’d heard about the park 31 into my head at this moment. Anyone with a clear mind would just turn back. But me? No. I did 32 stupid thing: I decided to hurry past him.

Just when I was passing the man, he raised his head and gave me the strangest smile ever. I got scared and started running.Hey!” the man shouted from behind.Wait!” He was running after me!

I ran like crazy. I had hoped the trees would keep some rain off. And they 33 . But they also made the park look even darker. I couldn’t see what was ahead of me. Then, I ran into something. It was the man!

Don’t kill me!” I cried.

What? I 34 to give back your bag! You dropped it,” the man gave me my bag.

Now, I felt saying that to the man was the stupidest thing I did tonight.

Dear May,

I know you are still angry, but please listen to me.

When Mom asked you not to play computer games all day long, what did you do? In a loud voice, you told her you were doing your computer homework. Then you slammed your room door and refused to talk to her.

You don't understand how much you have hurt her. I think she is waiting for you to say you are sorry. If you don't feel comfortable doing so, why don't you just say something likeGood morning”? If you can say anything, it will make your mom feel better. I know you love her, and I hope things can go well between the two of you.

Love,

Dad

Let me try, Dad. I'm sure I'll do better.

Your son,
