about how one family traveled across Africa. It took them four years, and during
that time, there were many problems. The music is amazing, but the acting could
be better.

Students Don't Study as Much as "Should"

A study of 472 university professors and 163,000 students has

some people surprised. According to the study, the professors
think their students should study at least 25 hours a week, but
only 11 percent of the students said they study that much.
44 percent of the students study ten hours or less. About 35
percent of students who study less than ten hours a week get
good grades.
Some students said that 25 hours a week is too much. That's
12.5 percent of each day! However, a professor said that it
isn't just about reading. "Students have to remember details
and think carefully about what they read:' Some students, it
seems, can do that more quickly than others.
