Going to bed early and getting up early作主语谓语用单数还是复

My parents often tell me that going to bed early and getting up early ______ a good habit.

A. is B. are C. were D. was

答案到底是A还是B？网上有的人说是用单数，有的人说是要用复数。准确的说法应该是哪个？总结一下：Going to bed early and getting up early作主语谓语用单数还是复数？

Going to bed early and getting up early 作主语时，谓语动词应该用单数，因为，虽然它是两个动名词的并列，但它指的是一个概念，而不是指两个概念——即“早睡早起”是一个好习惯，而不是分开指“早睡”是一个好习惯，“早起”是一个好习惯。

My parents often tell me that going to bed early and getting up early is a good habit. 我的父母经常告诉我说，早睡早起是一个好习惯。

主语是由 and 连接的两个并列成分，但当作整体看待，或表示一个概念，谓语动词用单数。例如：

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. （谚语）睡得早，起得早，聪明、富裕、身体好。

“早睡早起”是一个好习惯，应该用一般现在时。所以：

My parents often tell me that going to bed early and getting up early ______ a good habit.

A. is B. are C. were D. was

答案应该是 A。
