10、aced with even more work. And the homework load these days is not light; teachers give hours worth of homework each night. Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night in order to function properly. Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older. After puberty(青春期), the body

Considering the time at which most high schools in this country begin, those nine hours are
12、 clearly being shortened. Few high schools start after 8 a.m. However, there are schools that have paid attention to this research and pushed backward the start of their school day. In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, the teachers believe that there has been a real change i

18、order of size. She says the talking bird also can combine words in the right order. For example, he will combine words when asking for a piece of food.
