Teenagers are some of the most sleep-deprived people in the U.S. On average, teens do not get enough sleep, and more important, they do not get enough quality sleep, researchers say. We could blame cell phones and other 【小题1】 technologies for keeping kids up at night, but late nights are just part of the 【小题2】. In addition to technology, one fairly indisputable factor contributes to this collective sleepiness: school start times.

Over decades researchers have amassed evidence showing that pushing back the first 【小题3】 of middle and high school would benefit the physical, mental and emotional health of older children, not to mention their 【小题4】 performance. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, along with several medical societies, has embraced later start times. Some school districts, as well as the state of California, have already shown 【小题5】 for that evidence with new start times.

Yet far too many school districts are reluctant to make the change, whether for logistical, financial or cultural reasons. This is unfair to teens. A generation of students is playing catchup from COVID, and we need to 【小题6】 their health and wellness by pushing back the start of the school day. Honoring their biological and social needs will create more resilient adults.

Despite decades of research, thousands of publications and clear science, schools in only a few states and the District of Columbia have pushed their start times to 8:30. A.M. on average, which researchers say is a/an 【小题7】 — a better time would be closer to 9 A.M.

The path to delayed school start times is riddled with potholes (坑洼). Bus schedules have to change. After-school sports and 【小题8】 programs might have to begin later. A delayed school start could also mean adults with less 【小题9】 work schedules are late for work.

Access to education is a basic right in the U.S. But it’s time to stop thinking of school start times as 【小题10】 mountains. For decades we’ve ignored the overwhelming evidence that delayed start times help teens succeed. Let teenagers sleep. There is nothing “woke” about that.

In a recent New Yorker cartoon, a hotel clerk says to two customers,“If there's anything we can do to make your stay more pleasant,just boasting about it all over the internet.”It is a humorous satire on the popular view that online consumers have considerable 【小题1】. A few strong words on an online review site can make a business change its operation mode or go bankrupt.

And, in fact, online review sites have vastly changed the way people make consumer【小题2】.

Review sites such as Yelp, Amazon and TripAdvisor offer a wide range of opinions. By combining the m together, consumers can know more about the real quality and 【小题3】of a product or service.

When review sites started appearing, they 【小题4】 opportunities to both businesses and shoppers. A review site allowed small businesses to 【小题5】with millions of individuals. One study found that a one-star 【小题6】 in Yelp ratings led to a five to nine percent increase in revenue.

For consumers, too, the review sites offered new opportunities. As more shopping has 【小题7】 online from brick-and-mortar stores, consumers have become more 【小题8】on the feedback of other customers to make their purchasing decisions. And there are review sites for nearly everything these days— from travel accommodations to bargain shopping.

But at the same time, the drawbacks are becoming exposed. For one thing, the reviews can turn a simple purchase into a research project. Buying something as basic as a water bottle online now involves 【小题9】 a dozen brands.

Only a small percentage of customers actually 【小题10】product reviews online. In a 2014 study, MIT's researchers found that one in every 15 reviews of an item is in fact written by people who haven't purchased it. The problem is that the other 985 customers rely on the reviews written by every one of these 15 people.

Now that the temperature has started to rise, it’s time to put on our casual and cool T-shirts. But to stand out from the crowd this season, you should consider adding a slogan (标语) T-shirt to your   【小题1】.

From headlines and hashtags (贴文标签) to popular quotes, many words have leapt from 【小题2】 onto our clothing. In April, New York magazine came up with a creative idea – turning headlines from its fashion section into slogan T-shirts.

But slogan T-shirts certainly aren't 【小题3】 creations. Although they're believed to have been the idea of small 1960s London fashion store Mr. Freedom, British designer Katherine Hamnett first introduced them to the wider world in the 1980s. 'the slogan T-shirt was something to give you a(n) 【小题4】 ... in one, you could be read from 200 yards (about 183 meters) away, ' she recently told the BBC.

However, people have been using 【小题5】 ways to send political messages far before slogan T-shirts came along. 'In the 19th century before women had the vote, they would use umbrellas that represented their 【小题6】 candidate, ' Steven Fielding, professor of political history at the University of Nottingham, told Elle magazine.

Indeed, fashion has always been about self-expression. And slogan items have become a way to 【小题7】 messages without the need to scream and shout. 'sometimes we talk about serious stuff, and sometimes fun things, ' Swedish designer Annika Berger told the Guardian.

British designer Viet Tran shared his story of making fun T-shirts with Elle. Graduating from college, he couldn't afford a cool T-shirt, so he and his friends just made their own, 【小题8】 slogans such as, 'He's your man. ' Tran told the magazine. 'It was an inside joke that 【小题9】 us as a group. ' British fashion expert Natalie Kingham also agreed that slogan items provide a(n) 【小题10】 platform.

So, if you want to share your thoughts with the world, a slogan T-shirt is certainly a good way to start.
