Bitwalking is an invention by a small company in London. To make people walk more, this new app on the mobile phone is paying people, which is based on(在…基础上)their daily walking steps.

With this app, walkers can earn one "Bitwalking dollar" for about 1000 steps (about 8 kilometers). Three bitwalking dollars can be earned by one person per day at most. The money people earned can be spent on online shopping sites(地点)or exchanged for cash(现金).

One idea behind the app is to make people healthier. But the designers also have another goal: to improve people's lives. In poor countries, people have to walk far to work, or to school, or simply to collect water. Workers in the countryside earn less than one dollar a day. By walking around with the Bitwalking app, they could earn three times more.

The company has also set up Bitwalking centers in some poor areas. At the centers, local people will learn how to use the Bitwalking dollars or trade(交易)them for cash. Bitwalking is really helping to change lives.

1.How many Bitwalking dollars can one people get at most every day?

2.What is the goal of Bitwalking?

3.Do you think we middle school students can use this app? Why?

Later School Start Helps Kids Get Zzz

Teenagers have been sleeping less. This is an issue all across the United States. Research from Harvard Medical School shows that having less sleep can make teens fat and cause some developmental problems. Because of the increasing use of devices like smartphones and computers, students today are staying up late. Many teens use them long after dark. “At night, I am on my phone and I just want to stay up. I often wake up so tired that I wish I could go back to sleep,” Hazel Ostrowski, a high school student, said.

To make matters worse, 93% of high schools and 83% of middle schools in the U.S. start before 8:30 a. m. That time goes against official health advice from American Academy of Pediatrics (美国儿科学会). Schools do not want late start times, because it will cause traffic problems. Parents also want older kids to come home early to watch younger kids in the afternoons.

But some studies suggest that students between the ages of 11 and 17 get enough sleep on school nights. Therefore, some researchers suggest starting school late.

Researchers are studying later school start times in Seattle, Washington. The Seattle School District (区) made a big time change in the fall of 2016. The change was for high schools and most middle schools. Before, the first bell rang at 7:50 a. m. After the change, classes began at 8:45 a. m.

The researchers worked with science teachers at two high schools in Seattle, and 178 teenagers took part in the study. They wore activity monitors to discover whether a later start to the school day would help them get more sleep. The researchers compared sleep habits (习惯) of these teens in spring 2016，before the change, to sleep habits of them from spring 2017, after later start times began.

What changed was wake-up time. Morning wake-up time changed from 6:24 a. m. to 7:08 a. m. Falling asleep changed only a bit. It went from 11 :27p. m. to 11:38 p. m.

Researchers noticed that there were fewer late students after the changes. The study also found the students got about 34 more minutes of sleep each night. Students also felt less sleepy in the daytime. Their grades improved as well. It seems a later start to school is helping students.

1.In the first paragraph, the writer gives the example of Hazel to show________.

A.students wake up tired from sleeping too long

B.students want to stay up late to have a good time

C.students become much fatter for taking less exercise

D.students sleep less because of using smartphones long

2.According to the study, the Seattle School District ________.

A.starts school at 8:30 in the morning B.starts school 55 minutes later than usual

C.asks students to change their sleeping habits D.asks parents to make sure their kids go to bed early

3.What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A.Reasons for later school start. B.Advantages of later school start.

C.Causes of less sleep in students. D.Solutions to the problem of sleeping less.
