问题    Our traditional belief has it that morning larks are most likely to be healthy, wealthy and wise. But those who are early to bed and early to rise do not always have the upper hand(占上风). Researchers have revealed that night owls(夜猫子)are generally brighter and wealthier than those able to get up early in the morning.
   Experts examined the habits of 1000 youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early. School performance and inductive(归纳的)reasoning were measured and academic(学业的)grades in the major subjects were also taken into consideration.
   The results show that evening types score higher than morning types on inductive reasoning, which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and academic performance. The night owls also have a greater capacity to think conceptually(概念性地)and analyze. Such abilities have been linked to creative thinking, better jobs and higher incomes.
   Morning larks, however, often get better exam results in school, possibly because lessons are held at wrong time of day for night owls.
The underlined expression "morning larks" in Paragraph 1 refers to______.

选项 A、birds which scream late at night
B、birds which sing early in the morning
C、people who like to stay up late at night
D、people who are early to rise in the morning

答案D
