ALBANY，New York—Students who rely on working at night to improve their
grades might want to sleep on that strategy: A new survey in the US says those who never study all night have slightly higher grades than those who do.
A survey of 120 students at St.Lawrence University found that students who had never pulled an allnighter on average had higher grades than those who had. The survey found tho
se who did not study through the night had a grade point average of 3.2 compared to 2.95 for those who did.
The study, by assistant professor of psychology Pamela Thacher, is to be included in the January issue of BehavioralSleepMedicine.
“It's not a big difference，but it's pretty striking, ” Thacher said, “I am primarily a sleep researcher and I know nobody thinks clearly at 4∶00 in the morning. You think you can do，but you can't.”
Many college students, of course, have inadequate or irregular sleep, for reasons ranging from excessive caffeine to poor time management.
“A lot of students were under the impression that allnighters were a very useful tool for accomplishing work, and that caffeine intake was very useful in meeting deadlines and stuff like that, ”said Mr Chatani, who had a 3.4 grade point average last term.
Dr Howard Weiss, a physician at St.Peter's Sleep Center in Albany, said the study results made sense.
“Certainly that data is out there showing that short sleep duration absolutely interferes with concentration and performance on objective testing, ”he said.
“Some night owls do get good grades, of course，which may be explained by circadian (昼夜节律的
，生理节奏的) rhythms, ”Weiss said, “Some people have different 24hour body clocks from others, and may do better depending on classes and testing time.”The purpose of the passage is to tell us
| A．the bad effects of pulling an allnighter |
| B．pulling an allnighter leads to sleep problems |
| C．Thacher's doubt about allnighters |
| D．allnighters influence students' grades |
According to Thacher's study，around 4 o'clock in the morning is a time when .
| A．one can think more clearly |
| B．one has his/her best memory |
| C．one can't learn efficiently |
| D．one's brain falls into a period of deep sleep |
What can we know from Dr Howard Weiss' words？
| A．Thacher's study is not convincing enough. |
| B．He believes in Thacher's study. |
| C．Thacher's study makes no sense. |
| D．Thacher should take exceptions into consideration. |
Both my parents came from towns in Mexico. Then I was born in E1 Paso，Texas and when I was four, my family moved to a housing project in East Los Angeles.
Even though we struggled to make ends meet, my parents stressed to me and my four brothers and sisters how fortunate we were to live in a great country with limitless opportunities. They influenced us with the concepts of family, faith and nationalism.
I got my first real job when I was ten. My dad injured his back working in a cardboardbox factory and was retrained as a hairstylist. He rented space in a little shopping mall and gave his shop the fancy name of Mr.Ben’s Coiffure.
The owner of the shopping center gave Dad a discount on his rent for cleaning the parking lot three nights a week，which meant getting up at 3 a．m..To pick up rubbish, Dad used a little machine that looked like a lawn mower. Mom and I emptied garbage cans and picked up litter by hand. It took two to three hours to clean the lot. I’d sleep in the car on the way home.
I did this for two years，but the lessons I learned have lasted a lifetime. I acquired discipline and a strong work ethic(道德), and learned at an early age the importance of balancing life’s competing interests－in my case，school，homework and a job. This really helped during my senior year of a high school, when I worked 40 hours a week flip
ping burgers at a fastfood joint while taking a full load of college preparation courses.
The hard work paid off. I attended the U．S.Military Academy and went on to receive graduate degrees in law and business from Harvard. Later, I joined a big Los Angeles law firm and was elected to the California StateAssembly(州议会)．In these jobs and in everything else I’ve done, I have never forgotten those nights in the parking lot. The experience taught me that there is dignity in all work and that if people are working to provide for themselves and their families that is something we should honor.Before my father got injured，we________.
| A．didn’t like living in the USA | B．lived a poor but happy life |
| C．were lucky to move to the USA | D．had many ways to make money |

| A．ran a small shopping mall | B．did a parttime job |
| C．worked as a barber | D．became a street cleaner |
Working in the parking lot for two years had tau
ght me________.
| A．how to obey school discipline | B．how to do two things well at a time |
| C．that discipline and work were of equal value | |
| D．that I must do as many things as possible at a time |
The au
thor tells us in the last paragraph that we should be proud of those who________.
| A．have done all kinds of jobs | B．are cleaning the parking lot |
| C．have achieved a lot in their lives | D．are bearing their responsibilities |
