From American Express， wedding guests will，on average，spend ﹩673 on each wedding they attend this year． It includes airfare （﹩225）， hotel （﹩170）， dining out （﹩116）and dressing up （﹩95）and the gift． If you have weddings to attend this year， here are some tips for you to avoid breaking the bank．

1． Book flights in advance

The moment you decide to attend a wedding is the time to check flight prices at the best time． Plane fares are higher in the summer， especially in July and August． Booking in advance will save you money， as will watch for sales on lower﹣cost carriers like JetBlue and Frontier． You can check Google Flights for a calendar of prices showing the cheapest days to fly from apps like Hopper to get real﹣time alerts when a fare is at its lowest price point．

2． Don't blow your budget on the gift

If you've got the money， an expensive gift is lovely． But there's no need to take out loans to prove your love for the happy couple． Skip an expensive necklace by giving （an appropriate amount of） cash instead． To save on the gift， consider making one： A photo album or scrapbook of memories with the bride and groom shows how much you care． You could also share the gift with other guest（s） or even make gifts with DIY ideas by yourself to save money．

3． Use old dresses and suits

You don't always have to be on a new dress for a wedding． While men have the option of repeating their suits， women are more likely to spend money on new clothes for the special occasion． But before you take out your wallet， consider reinventing something already in your closet． Belts， colorful scarves， shoes can bring life to any outfit．

About half American teenagers do not get enough sleep on school nights.They get an average of sixty to ninety minutes less than experts say they need.

One reason for this is biology.Experts say teens are biologically programmed to go to sleep later and wake up later than other age groups.Yet many schools start classes as early as seven in the morning.As a result，many students go to class feeling like sixteenyearold Danny.He is an active teen— except in the morning.“Getting up in the morning is pretty terrible.I’m just very out of it and tired.Through the first and second period I can hardly stay awake,” he said.

Michael Breus is a psychologist.Teens，he says，need to sleep eight to nine hours or even nine to ten hours a night.He says sleepy teens can experience a form of depression(消沉) that could have big influence on their general well being.It can affect not just their ability in the classroom but also on the sports field and on the road.So what can schools do about sleepy students？The psychologist says one thing they can do is to start classes later in the morning.Studies show that students can improve by a full letter grade in their first and second period classes.

Eric Peterson is the head of St.George’s School in the northeastern state of Rhode Island.He wanted to see if a thirtyminute delay(推迟)would make a difference.It did.He says visits to the health center by tired students decreased by half.Late arrivals to the first period fell by a third.And students reported that they were less sleepy during the day.Eric Peterson knows that changing start times is easier at a small school like his.But he is hopeful that other schools will find a way.

The results from the world’s largest sleep study have shown that people who sleep on average between 7 to 8 hours per night perform better cognitively (认知地) than those who sleep less or more than this amount.

The world’s largest sleep study was launched in June 2018 and within days more than 40,000 people from the world participated in the online scientific investigation, which included an in-depth questionnaire and a series of cognitive performance activities.

“We really wanted to capture the sleeping habits of people around the entire globe. Obviously, there have been many smaller sleep studies of people in laboratories but we wanted to find out what sleep is like in the real world,” says Adrian Owen, western’s researcher in Cognitive Neuroscience and Imaging. “People who logged in gave us a lot of information about themselves. We had a fairly extensive questionnaire and they told us things like which medications they were on, where they were in the world and what kind of education they’d received because these are all factors that might have contributed to some of the results.”

More than half of all participants reported typically sleeping less than 6.3 hours per night, about an hour less than the study’s recommended amount. One shocking truth was that most participants who slept four hours or less performed as if they were almost nine years older.

Another surprising discovery was that sleep affected all adults equally. The amount of sleep associated with highly functional cognitive behavior was the same for everyone, regardless of age. Also, the harm associated with too little, or too much sleep did not depend on the age of the participants.

“We found that the best amount of sleep to keep your brain performing its best is 7 to 8 hours every night. We also found that people that slept more than that amount were equally harmed as those who slept too little,” says Conor Wild, Owen Lab Research Associate and the study’s lead author.

1.Where did the study take place?

A. In a lab. B. In the street.

C. On TV. D. On the Internet.

2.What may affect the result of the study according to Owen?

A. Career. B. Diet.

C. Education. D. Exercise.

3.What’s Wild’s view?

A. Sleeping too much is as bad as sleeping too little.

B. People must sleep for eight hours every night.

C. Sleeping too little can make people look older.

D. People needn’t pay attention to the amount of sleep.

4.What can we learn from the text?

A. Owen and Wild are the first to study sleep.

B. Lack of enough sleep is a common problem.

C. All the people in the world show interest in the study.

D. There is no effective way to solve the sleep problem.
