carefully analysed the data. Much to Grossman’s surprise, they found no measurable difference in test performance between the group that had been physically active and the group that had not.
However, the study presented a surprising viewpoint in the journal Science of Learning. Going through the large amount of data, Grossman noticed an interesting trend (走向) from the participants sleep patterns. There was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep and his/her grade on the exams.
Besides, it was not enough for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Grossman says: “We’ve heard the phrase ‘Get a good night’s sleep, you’ve got a big day tomorrow.’ It turns out this does not relate at all to test performance. Instead, it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.”
The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student.
The research does not prove that sleep is the only component that helps improve academic performance. However, Grossman says the results are a strong indication that sleep really matters. Who knew getting A’s just required some extra ZZZ’s?
32．What’s Grossman’s original purpose by using Fitbits in the research? A．To improve students sleep patterns.
B．To find effects of physical exercise on grades. C．To monitor students’ physical condition. D．To regulate students’ daily behavior.
33．What did Grossman think of the research result? A．It was unreliable. B．It was changeable C．It was unexpected. D．It was fruitless.
34．What plays a more important part in test performance?
A．Average amount of sleep during tests. B．Sleep in the learning stage. C．Sleep quality the night before the test. D．A regular bedtime. 35．What is the best title for the text? A．Enough Sleep Benefits Our Wellbeing B．Be Physically Active and Sleep More C．Catch ZZZ’s for Good Test Performance D．The More Exercise, the Better Schoolwork

Many of us are hardwired NOT to ask for help. We think it makes us appear weak. We think people will say no. we think we have to do everything ourselves. 36 . We have to get over that, and there’s how:
Get over yourself
No one—and I mean NO ONE----got anywhere alone. You cannot and should not do everything yourself. You are not, in fact, always the best person for the job, or the “only” person who can do it. Asking for help is sign of strength, not weakness.
Asking for help clears space for you and frees your time and energy. 37
Rebuild your thinking
Rebuild what it means to ask for help from “I am a weak, incompetent loser” to “I am strategically allocating my time to focus on what matters most.” Don’ t focus on the fact that you can’t do something or don’ t have the time. 38 It’s a chance to connect, a chance to value a colleague, a chance to get something done faster or better, a chance to optimize your own time and talents.
39
Asking for help is about tapping valuable resources to get the best outcome the most quickly with the fewest resources expended. That’s a fancy way of saying “get the right people for the job.” 40 And the best way to do that is to know your colleagues, and proactively build relationships.
A. Whatever the reason, we don’t ask for the help we need. B. Think about your colleagues. C. Your energy can’t be wasted.
D. Instead, think about what you will gain from the ask. E. It’s all about building the right team. F. It’s a smart strategy. G. Know your colleagues.
