you must choose the best answer
from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).
Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2
with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Reducing the amount of sleep students get at night
has a direct impact on their performance at school during the day.
According to classroom teachers,
elementary and middle school students
who stay up late exhibit more learning and attention problems.
This has been shown
by Brown Medical School and Bradley Hospital research.
In the study,
teachers were not told the amount of sleep students received
when completing weekly performance reports,
yet they rated the students
who had received eight hours or less
as having the most trouble recalling all the material,
learning new lessons and completing high-quality work.
Teachers also reported
that these students had more difficulty paying attention.
The experiment is the first to ask teachers
to report on the effects of sleep deficiency in children.
Just staying up late can cause increased academic difficulty
and attention problems for otherwise healthy,
well-functioning kids,
said Garharn Forlone, the study's lead author.
So the results provide professionals and parents
with a clear message:
when a child is having learning and attention problems,
the issue of sleep has to be taken into consideration.
"If we don't ask about sleep,
and try to improve sleep patterns in kids'
struggling academically,
then we aren't doing our job", Forlone said.
For parents, he said, the message is simple,
"getting kids to bed on time
is as important as getting them to school on time".
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What were teachers told to do in the experiment?
27. According to the experiment,
what problem can insufficient sleep cause in students?
28. What message did the researcher intend to convey to parents?
