The survey found those who did not study through the night had a grade point average of 3.2 compared to 2.95 for those who have.The study, by assistant professor of psychology Pamela Thacher, is to be include in the January issue of Behavioral Sleep Medicine.“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 in the morning. You think you 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 all-nighter were a very useful tool for accomplishing work, that caffeine intake was very useful in meeting deadlines and stuff like that,”said Mr.Chartani, 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 make sense.“Certainly that data is out there showing that short sleep duration absolutely interferes with concentration, interferes with performance on objective testing,” he said.Some night owls do get good grades, of course, which may be explained by circadian(全天的)rhythms, Weiss said. Some people have different 24-hour body clocks than others, and do better depending on class and testing times, Weiss said.61. The purpose of the passage is to tell us ___.A. the bad effects of pulling an all-nighterB. pulling an all-nighter leads to sleep problemsC. Thacher’s doubt about all-nightersD. all-nighters hurt students’ grades62. According to Thacher’s study, around, 4 o’clock in the morning is a time when__A. one can think more clearlyB. one has his/ her best memoryC. one can’t learn efficientlyD. one’s brain falls into a period of deep sleep63. What can we know from Dr. Howard Weiss’ words?A. Thacher’s study is not convincing enoughB. He believes in Thacher’s studyC. Thacher’s study makes no senseD. Thacher should take exceptions into consideration64. Which of the following is true?A. Chatani is a student who benefits from pulling all-nighters.B. Short sleep has nothing to do with concentration.C. Caffeine intake is a useful way to accomplish work.D. Not all night owls get bad grades.65. An all-nighter in the passage refers to ___.A. a habit of accomplishing work by skipping a whole night’s sleepB. a drink to keep people awake all nightC. a person who falls into the habit of working at nightD. a way to improve one’s grades by working deep into the nightBWhere we live, on the east shore of Mary land, the gentle waters run in and out like fingers slimming at the tips.The Canada geese know this place, as do the white swans and the duck. In the autumn, they come home for the winter. Once or twice each year, snow and frozen rain move into the area. When this happens, if the river is at its narrowest, there is a freeze which hardens the water to ice.One morning, a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside the huge window, which overlooked the Tred Avon River. Suddenly she leaned forward and cried out, “there is a goose out there.”We saw the figure of a large Canada goose, very still, its wings folded tight to its sides, its feet frozen to the ice.Then from the dark skies, she saw a line of swans. They floated from the top of the sky downward and at last landed on the ice. My friend was in her feet now, with one unbelieving hand against her mouth. As the swans surrounded the frozen goose, she feared what life he still has might be pecked(啄)out by those great swan bills.Instead, those bills began to work on the ice. The long necks were lifted and curved down, again and again. It went on for a long time. At last, the goose’s head lifted, its body pulled. Then the goose was free and standing on the ice. And the swans stood in the air watching. Then, as if he had cried, “I cannot fly,” four of the swans came down around him. Their powerful beaks chipped off the ice held in the feathers. Slowly, the goose spread its wings as far as they would go, and moved slowly into the sky.This is a true story. I just think of it in the bad moments, and from it comes only one hopefulquestion: “If so for birds, why not for man?”66. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Why not for man?B. Graceful swansC. Swans’ brave actD. I just couldn’t believe it!67. What happened to the Canada goose?A. It was deserted by other geese.B. It was stuck in the iceC. It was wounded and couldn’tD.

I’m having some problems at home and I hope you can help me with it. The main problem is my mother. She got mad when I listen to music or to watch a DVD. She asks me to study all the times. She even prevents me from meet my friends online. When I refuse to listen to her, shouts me and we often quarrel. I am the only child of our parents. They love me and I love them a lot, either. What should I do? Can you help me?。
