Early risers are most likely to be healthy, wealthy and wise, according to the old adage. But those who are early to bed and early to rise do not always have the upper hand, researchers say. They have revealed that night owls are generally brighter and wealthier than those able to get up early in the morning. 老人常言，早起早睡者常会更健康、更富裕、更聪明。但是研究人员却说这些人并不一直都占优势。他们的调查表明夜猫子常会比早起者更聪慧、更有钱。 Experts from the University of Madrid carried out tests on around 1,000 teenagers and found that those who preferred to stay up late demonstrated the kind of intelligence associated with prestigious jobs and higher incomes. 来自于马德里大学的研究人员调查了近千名青少年，发现那些喜欢熬夜的人更有可能找到令人羡慕的工作，拿高薪。 Larks or ‘morning people’, however, often secured better exam results, possibly because lessons are held at the wrong time of day for night owls. 而云雀们或者说是早起的人，常会在考试中做得更好，可能是因为学校课程的安排时间与夜猫子们的作息时间不相符。 The researchers examined the habits and body clocks of the youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early and were at their peak in the morning. School performance and inductive intelligence, or problem solving, were measured and academic grades in the major subjects were also taken into account. |
