A survey of 120 students at St.Lawrence University found that students who have never pulled an all-nighter on average have higher grades than those who have. 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. “Its not a big difference, but its 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 cant.”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.Peters 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.

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 gooses 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 hopeful question: “If so for birds, why not for man?”66. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Why not for man? B.
