3 . A team of researchers conducted the first study to figure out how the time of nightly sleep early in the semester affects freshmen end-of-semester grade point average (GPA绩点). Using Fitbit sleep trackers, they found that students on average sleep 6.5 hours a night, but bad outcomes accumulate (增多) when students received less than 6 hours of sleep a night. The results can be found in the Feb. 13 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Sleep guidelines recommend teenagers get 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night. Many college students, however, experience irregular sleep.

David Creswell, Professor in Psychology and Neuroscience at the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences, led a team of researchers to evaluate the relationship between sleep and GPA. “Animal studies have shown how critical sleep is for learning and memory,” said Creswell. “Here we show how this work translates to humans. The less nightly sleep a first-year-university-student gets at the beginning of the school term predicts lower GPA at the end of the term. Lack of sleep may be hurting students’ ability to learn in their college classrooms.”

The study evaluated more than 600 first-year students across five studies at three universities. The students wore wrist Fitbit devices to track and record their sleep patterns. The researchers found that students in the study sleep on average 6.5 hours a night. More surprisingly, the researchers found that students who receive less than six hours of sleep experienced a pronounced decline in academic performance. In addition, each hour of sleep lost would cause a 0.07 decrease in end-of-term GPA.

“Once you start sleeping below six hours, you are starting to accumulate more and more sleep debt that can do harms to a student’s health and study habits, hurting the whole system,” said Creswell. “Most surprising to me was that no matter what we did to make the effect go away, it still remained.”

“A popular belief among college students is value studying more or partying more over nightly sleep,” said Creswell. “Our work here suggests that reducing nighttime sleep has potential costs for your ability to learn and achieve in college. All in all, there’s real value in paying greater attention to the importance of nightly sleep.”

1. How many hours of sleep received by students a night will cause increasing negative outcomes?

A．6.4 hours

B．5.9 hours

C．8 hours

D．6.5 hours

2. What does the underlined word “pronounced” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A．practical

B．particular

C．obvious

D．unknown

3. What can we infer from Creswell’s saying in the last paragraph?

A．Students should sleep more than 6.5 hours at night to get good grades.

B．To get more achievements, students should reduce nightly sleep as much as possible.

C．Aiming to achieve success, students should focus on nightly sleep greatly.

D．Have more parties at night does good for students’ ability to learn and achieve.

4. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?

A．The Ways To Improve GPA	B．How Does Nightly Sleep Affect Students?
C．More Sleeping, More Success	D．Nightly Sleep Is Key To Student Success

4 . After entering high school, you must wonder how to study well. Here are some good skills for you.

Go to class.

If you want to do well at school, going to class is the first step in studying well. If you miss classes, you will miss what the teacher thinks is important; as a result, you’ll miss what is the most likely to end up on the test.     1    

Take good notes.

Try not to write down everything.     2     Write down unfamiliar terms. After class, review your notes as soon as possible. You can fill in details that you missed and review the material while it is still fresh on your mind.

    3    

If you are struggling in class, talk to your teacher. He or she may be able to give you more help before or after class. Most teachers have little sympathy(同情) for students who just become worried about failing during the last few weeks of the grading period.

Take part in class discussions.

In order to learn more in class, it is helpful to take part in class discussions. Asking questions and having eye contact with your teachers and classmates can increase your focus during the class discussion.     4     This helps you make your point clear in class.

Form study groups.

Get students together who want to do well in class. Make sure that everyone is familiar with the material because you do not want to spend time re-teaching material to people who do not understand it.     5     Sometimes group sessions(上课时间)can become chatting sessions

A．But be careful!

B．Don’t be late for your class．

C．Talk to your teacher if you need help．

D．You should write down all the new terms．

E．So if you want to study well, go to every class．

F．All you need is to put down the main points in your own words．

G．In order to learn more in classit is helpful to take part in class discussions

5 . How to deal with your homework

Write it down.     1     Always be sure to write down all the homework so you won’t forget anything.

Create a homework station. Find somewhere comfortable and quiet to do your homework.     2     It will take twice as long to get the homework done. Shut off your cell phone, log off (退出) your computer (unless you need it for your homework) and close the door.

Do homework as early as possible. Don’t leave homework to the last minute.     3     The earlier you start your homework, the sooner you will finish! Do all your homework as early as you can, so you don’t have a pile of ( 一 堆 ) homework the next day.

    4     Think about how long it will take you to complete homework for each subject. For example: English-ten minutes, science-ten minutes, math-forty minutes, history-twenty minutes.

Treat yourself. You can easily get tired by sitting through an hour or two of homework without stopping. Once you finish homework for a subject, take a small break (no more than 15 minutes). Either taking a walk or finding something to eat will do. But do not turn on the TV, or you’ll never go back to your study.     5    

A．Use your time wisely.

B．Start as soon as you get home.

C．Start with your hardest homework.

D．Do not burn the midnight oil, either.

E．Never do your homework in front of the TV.

F．After short breaks, return to finish the rest of your homework.

G．Keep a homework notebook where you record all your homework.

6 . How to prepare for an exam is a big question that you always ask yourself. Here are some tips that may help you.

Never fear or hate exam and be confident.

Some students study well but still may be much afraid of exams and due to this reason they get upset and won’t be able to get marks.    1    You have to be confident and it is of great help for you to gain success.

Prepare a good timetable.

Prepare a timetable before starting the study.    2    Difficult subjects can be given more time and easier ones less, but most importantly you should spare some time for rest.

Select a proper atmosphere for studying.

Studying atmosphere plays a very important role.    3    So pick a place where you feel comfortable. That is where you feel relaxed and can pay attention to what you are doing. Make sure that while you are studying a subject you are focusing on it only. So keep the books of other subjects away from your eyesight so that you won’t be upset about all the things you have to learn.

Make notes while studying.

This is a very important point. While studying, make small notes. The note should be short and clear to make the review easier.    4    Yet don’t try to cover everything in it.

    5    

On the night before exam you have to sleep well, at least 6 hours and not more than 8 hours. Remember this will have a great effect on your exam. And have your food as in your daily diet.

A．Sleep well and eat well.

B．So try to present answers in points.

C．This should include all the subjects.

D．Can anyone study well while others around are watching TV?

E．A good note shall include the most important points.

F．This will be of great use to your coming exams.

G．So leave all your fears and free your mind before starting the study.

7 . How to stay focused in class

Being relaxed during class is a bad habit, and it is also bad to your grade. Focusing in class not only proves to teachers that you are a capable student but also shows that you have the ability to control yourself, which will be very important.

    1     . No matter how much you want to sit with your friends during the class, try your best to avoid them. Talking with friends around you is not going to give you the focus in class. This will get you into trouble.

Look at teacher and make eye contact. Your teacher is not just standing up there talking.     2    .Show the teacher that he or she has your full attention by looking them in the eye. This person should have your full attention at all times during class.

Take notes. By taking notes, you’ll be able to “get into” the lesson. Write down key points as your teacher speaks. And listen to the key phrases such as “This is important” “This is the main idea” “This will be the test” etc.     3    .

Get involved in class discussions. This is a wonderful way to become a more focused, successful student. When a teacher asks a question, offer to answer it.     4    .These show the teacher that you are listening carefully during the class.

Ask a question.     5    .This really shows your teacher that you want to be better, and can recognize the things you are having difficulty with. Chances are that someone else in the class has the same question (and was too afraid to ask!). They’ll be relieved, and so will you.

A．Avoid sitting with friends.

B．This can help you listen more attentively.

C．If he or she ask for an opinion, share your own.

D．He or she is trying to give you a good education.

E．Talking with friends will make you lose interest in class.

F．If you don’t understand something, never be afraid to ask.

G．The more quickly you answer, the more attention you pay.
