Recently children have been told to buy traditional(传统的)alarm clocks(闹钟)instead of mobile phones to wake them up in the morning. Schools will advise students to turn off mobile phones or iPads in the evening to have enough sleep.
Researchers from a charity say that using Internet-connected devices(装置)in the evening can prevent children getting more rest. Moreover,they suggest that school children should invest in a real alarm clock to make sure that they get a good night's sleep and arrive at school on time.
① . The result is that 40% pupils in secondary schools can now hardly get on well without these devices. About two-thirds of the students have a habit of taking mobile phones to bed at night.

③ . A girl of 13 told researchers,"I can't imagine if someone takes my iPad away. I walk around the house with it even though it's not turned on. I just like being with it." Another girl added,"Sometimes I can't sleep without using the mobile phone at night."
