问题     British teenagers are damaging their health by not getting enough sleep because they are distracted by electronic gadgets in their bedrooms, according to a survey on Tuesday.
    The Sleep Council said "junk sleep" could compare with junk food as a major lifestyle matter for teenagers’parents.
    The poll of 1, 000 teenagers aged 12 to 16 found that 30 percent managed just 4 to 7 hours’sleep, even though they are advised to sleep 8 or 9 hours.
    Almost a quarter said they fell asleep more than once a week while watching TV, listening to music or using other electronic gadgets.
    "This is a really worrying trend, " said Dr Chris Idzikowski of the Edinburgh Sleep Centre.
    " What we are seeing is the result coming out of ’junk sleep’. It has neither length nor quality, both of which are important to feed the brain with the rest it needs to perform properly at school.
    Nearly all the teenagers had a phone, music system or a TV in their bedrooms, and about two-thirds of the teenagers had all three of these things.
    Almost one in five teenage boys said the quality of their sleep had been influenced by their TVs or computers being left on. The survey also found that 40 percent of teenagers felt tired each day, with girls aged 15 to 16 feeling the worst.
    However, only 11 percent said they were bothered by the lack or bad quality of sleep.
    "I’m staggered that so few teenagers make the link between getting enough good quality sleep and how they feel during the day, " Idzikowski said. "Teenagers need to realize the fact that to feel well, perform well and look good, they need to do something about their sleep.
We can infer from the passage that______.

选项 A、the teenagers’brain can’t get a good rest because of "junk sleep"
B、the teenagers have eaten too much junk food which is bad for their health
C、the teenagers’parents shouldn’t buy too many electronic gadgets for them
D、it is good for teenagers to listen to music while sleeping

答案A

解析 推断题。“What we are seeing is the result coming out of‘junk sleep’。It has neither length nor quality, both of which are important to feed the brain with the rest it needs to perform properly at school.”垃圾睡眠既缺乏长度又没有质量, 而这两者都为大脑提供了要在学校表现良好所必备的休息。可以推断出垃圾睡眠导致大脑不能很好的休息, 和选项A的内容相符。
