“The human brain wrks slwer in ld age,” said scientist Michael Ramscar, “but nly because they have kept much mre infrmatin ver time.”
The findings are a result f many cmputer simulatins (模拟) f learning and memry. Scientists let the cmputers read wrds and learn new things each day. When the cmputer “reads” nly s much, its result in memry tests is the same as that f a yung man. But if the cmputer learns much mre than that, its result is the same as that f an lder man. It is slwer because mre infrmatin makes the cmputer’s database (数据库) grw and the cmputer has mre data t wrk with—it takes time. This is the same as ld peple.

Ever feel sleepy when it’s time t get up fr schl? If yu think schl shuldn’t start s early, yu’re nt alne. Lts f scientists and dctrs agree. That’s why sme grups are pushing fr later start times.
There’s gd news fr sme students wh like t snze*. Califrnia passed a new law. It sets rules. High schls will start at 8:30 am r later. Middle schls will start at 8 am r later. S students might get mre minutes f Califrnia dreaming.
Research shws that mst adlescents need abut nine hurs f sleep a night. They usually get their best sleep between 11 pm and 8 am. S if students get up at 5 r 6 am, they miss sme gd sleeping time.

But sme peple think starting schls later isn’t s smart. They argue there’s n way t be sure students will get mre sleep. After all, the law can’t make students g t bed! And schls that start later finish later. That leaves students with less free time. Like what? Sprts, jbs, chres, and hmewrk. And let’s nt frget fun!

“The human brain wrks slwer in ld age,” said scientist Michael Ramscar, “but nly because they have kept much mre infrmatin ver time.”

There’s gd news fr sme students wh like t snze*. Califrnia passed a new law. It sets rules. High schls will start at 8:30 am r later. Middle schls will start at 8 am r later. S students might get mre minutes f Califrnia dreaming.
Research shws that mst adlescents need abut nine hurs f sleep a night. They usually get their best sleep between 11 pm and 8 am. S if students get up at 5 r 6 am, they miss sme gd sleeping time. Students wh dn’t get enugh sleep can have health prblems. They have truble learning, t. It’s hard t learn when yu’re ndding ff at yur desk!
But sme peple think starting schls later isn’t s smart. They argue there’s n way t be sure students will get mre sleep. After all, the law can’t make students g t bed!

Maybe anther prblem is buses! If all schls start near the same time, a district* has t pay fr mre buses and drivers. That’s ne reasn s many high schls start very early.
In fact, several schls utside Califrnia have a ready set later start times. Seattle Public Schls is an example. High schls there start n earlier than 8:45 am. A new law may sn be passed in Ohi. It wuld push back start times in that state.
