40、d out tests on around 1,000 teenagers and found that those who preferred to stay up late demonstrated the kind of intelligence associated with honored jobs and higher incomes. Larks or morning people, however, often acquired better exam results, possibly because lessons are held at the wrong time of
41、 day for night owls. 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 (归纳的) intelligence, or
42、 problem solving, were measured and academic grades in the major subjects were also taken into account. The results showed that evening types scored higher than morning types on inductive reasoning, which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and a strong indicator of academic

Such abilities have been linked to innovative（创新的）thinking, more admired occupations and better incomes.Famous night owls include President Obama, Charles Darwin, Winston Churchill, Keith Richards and Elvis
