Walking through any high school during the first class in the morning, you may find that many students are     1     to keep their heads up. “They’re sitting in the classroom, but their heads are at home on their pillows,” says Mary Carskadon of Brown Medical School in the US.

Don’t blame yourself; blame the clock in your brain. Two decades of research     2     that your bodies are pushing you to stay up at night and sleep into the morning. During the first several weeks of school, students are more likely to get a(n) lack of sleep. In the holidays, most students can sleep over eight hours a night. But during the school day, students on average sleep only about six hours. Students will lose 10 hours of sleep per week that they never     3     from. The lack of sleep may not only be a drag (拖后) on school     4    , but also be related to poor health.

Scientists in the US led research to try to     5     teenagers’ clocks back to help them fall asleep earlier. They use a special light in the classroom to try to     6     a reset of the students’ biological clock. They found the brain can     7     a chemical that helps sleep. It comes out only in the dark. The research failed at the end. Doctor said that even if the chemical had started     8    , the kids’ homework and other activities meant they stayed up at night.

Some schools have reset their school time from 7:25 to 8:30 a.m. to     9     the students. The results were so encouraging that students who had the hour     10    of sleep performed best in tests. Those who lost the hour did worst of all.

Dear Sally,

I recently became engaged, I love my fiancé a lot but we are getting into a lot of arguments     1     our Wedding plans. I would prefer a small wedding, just our immediate family and closest friends. I think it is such a special moment and I only want the people who are most important to be near us. I don’t want to be surrounded by people not really     2    (care) about us. He wants the whole world to be there--- the mail carrier, the baker, the butcher!!! My fiancé says a wedding day is     3    (important) day in anyone’s life. He wants to share his joy with everyone.

It’s not a question whether we can afford it although I     4     worry about how much a wedding costs and I would rather save the money for a house. I dislike fighting but I just don’t feel comfortable with his plans.

——Nervous

Dear Nervous,

Planning weddings     5     be very stressful. Each person has clear ideas about     6     his or her “perfect” wedding would be. Each person has dreams and hopes for that day. Now it is a good time to practice compromising (妥协) with your husband-to-be.     7     one of you should be unhappy on your wedding day. If you get your way, your husband will be unhappy. If he gets his way, it sounds     8     you will be unhappy.

Why don’t the two of you talk about     9     compromise? Perhaps a medium-sized wedding? Perhaps two weddings--- a small intimate ceremony and a large reception? You     10    (have) to compromise many times in your married life. You both can start now.

——Sally
