Dear Martha,
When I was reading the newspaper last night, I saw a
story about sleep. 39 fact, the story was about how much
sleep teenagers need. Scientists have studied this question
and they now believe that we teenagers need more sleep than
adults. According to this news story, adults need only about
eight hours of sleep every night, 40 teenagers like us
need nine or ten hours! Maybe that’s 41 it is so hard
for me to get out of bed in the morning. I really need to sleep
longer.
If I show this story to my 42 , perhaps they’ll let
me sleep later in the morning. Wait a minute-no, they
won’t, 43 I have to get up and go to school. If they knew
these facts about sleep, they might make me go to bed earlier.
Then I would miss my favorite TV program. 【題組】40. (A) so (B) but
(C) that (D) otherwise
