Drriinnggg! That’s the sound children across the country do not want to hear — the alarm bell(闹铃). This means children across the UK have to wake up bright and early to go to school.

But students at one school in north-east England can lie in for one more hour before they go to school. Monkseaton High School says it’s OK for students to come into school an hour later than other schools.

The headmaster, Dr Paul Kelley, says that it helps students to be more active in class. He feels that young people work better later in the day and a late start may be better for their school life than an early one.

Dr Kelley told the BBC that teenagers don’t work very well in the morning and their need to sleep is biological(生物学的).

This new approach(做法) to teaching shows good results. The school has already seen a drop in the number of students playing truant(逃学) by 27%. More importantly, Dr Kelley also said that exam results have improved by 20-30% over the past year.

Lessons at Monkseaton High School begin at 10 a.m. and finish at 3.40 p.m. However, the school opens from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

1.One of the results of starting school late is that _____.

A.students don’t do very well in exams B.students become more polite

C.students feel tired in the afternoon D.fewer students are absent(缺席) from school

2.We may learn from the passage that lessons at other schools in the UK may begin at _____.

A.7 a.m. B.8 a.m. C.9 a.m. D.10 a.m.

A.乐观 B.活跃 C.紧张 D.消极
