Question

Задание 3. Прочитайте текст и утверждения к нему. Отметьте их как истинные или ложные.

According to statistics, every fourth American teenager regularly nods off in class Scientists claim that average schoolchildren need no less than nine hours of sleep but get only about six or seven. It happens so because at most schools classes start at 8 a.m.; and it is considered to be too early for teens because their brains produce sleep-inducing melatonin later at night, so it's hard for them to fall asleep before 11 p.m. The way out is to start a school day no earlier than at 8.30. Many public schools are discussing this issue. The schools that have moved to a later start report that attendance is up and discipline problems are down.
