Right after your evening meal,engage in some sort of physical activity一a sport such as bowling,perhaps.______(48).Then go to bed at your usual time or a little earlier,and you should be able to get a good night's rest without taking a pill.
    If you can get into the habit of spending your evenings this way,I am sure you will feel less tired during the day.______(49).If so,get up and watch television or do some jobs around your house until you feel sleepy.If you fall asleep and then wake up a few hours later,get up but do not take a sleeping pill.Read a while or listen to the radio,and make yourself a few hours' sleep that night.You will feel better in the morning than you usually feel after taking a pill.______ (50).

    本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。上一句说到“我认为你的血液没有任何问题”,那么接下来就该说明实际是什么问题,而空格的下一句说“如果在晚上睡觉前你不小憩这几个小时,在晚上该睡觉时你应该很快入眠的”。因此 A与上下文联系最紧密。
    本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和时文章细节的把握。空格的下一句是服安眠药后“导致你一天都感到困乏”,因此这里应该是解释出现这个现象的原因,因此F最符合上下文内容。
    本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。上一句说到“也许应该在晚饭后做些体力活动,比如打保龄球”,而空格后内容是“然后按时或者稍微提前睡觉,你就会不需要安眠药而睡个好觉”,因此B与上下文内容最符合。
    本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。空格后内容是“如果这样的话,你可以起床看电视或在房子周围做些运动,一直到你有睡意”,因此这里的内容应是不服用安眠药后的不适应感。因此C最符合此内容。
    本题考查的是对上下文之间意义关系的理解。前面说到前一晚由于没有服安眠药没有睡好,因此这里应是“第二天晚上你要准备早睡一个小时”。因此D与此内容最符合。

    Energy Cycle

    Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful?This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation.He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
    During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you are"hot".That's true.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at this peak.For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar words as:"Get up, John!You'll be late for work again!"The possible explanation to the trouble is he is at his tempera-ture-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.
    You can't change your energy cycle,but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help,Dr. Kleitman believes.Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway.Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to.If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle,but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.
    Get off to a slow start,which saves your energy.Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours.

    If your energy peak is in the evening,you might like to get up late.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    虽然文章第一段提到早上起不来床会被称为懒,但是本文强调的是Kleitman博士所提出的新观点,就是这可能是由于每个人不同的能量周期决定的。因此不是所有早上起不来的人都是懒,所以这句话是错误的。
    根据文章第二段和第三段我们知道能量峰值在晚上的人早上精神会不好,能量峰值在早上的人则相反,因此本句是正确的。
    文章第二段最后一句讲到如果夫妻双方都能意识到能量周期的不同,那么“much family quarrelling ends”,即少了许多争吵,也就是说很多争吵是因为没有意识到能量周期的问题,因此本句表述是错误的。
    第二段三句讲“The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at this peak",即精力最充沛的时候体温最高,但这并不意味着精力和体温是一码事,例如人生病的时候会发烧但精神会很差。本句的表述是错误的。
    文章第二段告诉我们“No one has discovered why this is so”,即没人知道为什么每个人的能量周期不同,因此我们也不知道是不是有遗传因素,所以选择选项C。

    Energy Cycle
    Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful?This might be called laziness,but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
    During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're“hot”.That's true .The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak .For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening.No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar monologues as:“Get up,John!You'll be late for work again!”The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.
    You can't change your energy cycle,but you can learn to make your life fit to it better. Habit can help,Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but you must stay up late anyway .Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle,but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.
    Get off to a slow start which saves your energy .Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble of searching for clean clothes by laying them out the night before .Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

    If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning,he should_______.
    A: change his energy cycle
    B: overcome his laziness
    C:get up earlier than usual
    D:go to bed earlier

    答案:C
    解析:
    根据第一段可以看出,早晨起不来与个人每天的能量周期有关。根据文章第二段中约翰自言自语以及紧接着的解释“Get up , John ! You'll be late for work again ! ” The explanation… temperature-and-energy peak in the evening.可推断出答案。


    答案的线索在第二段最后一句话“Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.”也就是说,如果丈夫和妻子能明白不同的能量周期是怎么回事,家里每个人有什么样的能量周期,很多家庭争吵就不会发生。所以正确答案是A。


    “如果一个人想在早上能量低潮时更有效地工作,那么他该怎么办?”根据这两句话“If your energy is low in the morning but you have…but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.”可以断定正确答案应该是C。


    “建议你早上起床时打个呵欠,伸伸懒腰,因为它们会_______”首先应理解文章最后一段的第一句话“get off to a slow start which saves your energy”,还要理解该句后面的三句话,它们是保存能量的具体方法。“Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch”当然是为了保存能量。所以正确答案是A。


    选项B说Dr. Kleitman解释了为什么人们在一天里的不同时刻会有不同的能量高峰。而文章第二段指出没有人发现为什么会有不同的能量周期“For some people the peak comes during morning…No one has discovered why this is so.”两者不符,所以正确答案是B。

    Energy Cycle
    Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful?This might be called laziness,but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
    During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're“hot”.That's true .The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak .For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening.No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar monologues as:“Get up,John!You'll be late for work again!”The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.
    You can't change your energy cycle,but you can learn to make your life fit to it better. Habit can help,Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but you must stay up late anyway .Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle,but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.
    Get off to a slow start which saves your energy .Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble of searching for clean clothes by laying them out the night before .Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

    If a person finds getting up early a problem,most probably______.
    A: he is a lazy person
    B: he refuses to follow his own cycle
    C: he is not sure when his energy is low
    D: he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening

    答案:D
    解析:

    Knowing Your Real Personality from Sleeping Positions
    Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real.You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself,but when you're asleep,your sleeping position shows the real you.In a normal night,of course,you often change your sleeping positions.The important position that best shows your se-cret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
    If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person.You nbrmally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas.You don't like to make people unhappy,so you never ex-press your real feelings.You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
    If you sleep on your stomach,you are a person who likes to keep secrets.You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad.You never want to change your ideas,but you are satisfied with your life the way it is.You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
    If you sleep on curled up,you are probably a very nervous person.You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,so you are very defensive.You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people.You like to be on your own.
    If you sleep on your side,you have usually got a well-balanced personality.You know your strengths and weaknesses.You're usually careful.You have a confident personality.You sometimes feel worried,but you don't often get unhappy .You always say what you think,even if it makes people angry.

    When does the sleeping position best show your secret personality?
    A: In the daytime.
    B: At the beginning of sleep.
    C: At night.
    D: During the deep sleep.

    答案:B

    During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you are"hot".That's true.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at this peak.For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar words as:"Get up, John!You'll be late for work again!"The possible explanation to the trouble is he is at his tempera-ture-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.
    You can't change your energy cycle,but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help,Dr. Kleitman believes.Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway.Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to.If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle,but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.
    Get off to a slow start,which saves your energy.Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours.

    Energy cycle may be inherited from your parents.
    A:Right

    C:Not mentioned

    答案:C
    解析:
    虽然文章第一段提到早上起不来床会被称为懒,但是本文强调的是Kleitman博士所提出的新观点,就是这可能是由于每个人不同的能量周期决定的。因此不是所有早上起不来的人都是懒,所以这句话是错误的。
    根据文章第二段和第三段我们知道能量峰值在晚上的人早上精神会不好,能量峰值在早上的人则相反,因此本句是正确的。
    文章第二段最后一句讲到如果夫妻双方都能意识到能量周期的不同,那么“much family quarrelling ends”,即少了许多争吵,也就是说很多争吵是因为没有意识到能量周期的问题,因此本句表述是错误的。
    第二段三句讲“The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at this peak",即精力最充沛的时候体温最高,但这并不意味着精力和体温是一码事,例如人生病的时候会发烧但精神会很差。本句的表述是错误的。
    文章第二段告诉我们“No one has discovered why this is so”,即没人知道为什么每个人的能量周期不同,因此我们也不知道是不是有遗传因素,所以选择选项C。
    第三段第一句告诉我们虽然可以让自己的生活适应能量周期,但是“you can't change your energy cycle",因此本句表述是错误的,应当选择选项B。
    文章第三段最后两句建议早上处于低潮的人们要比平时起得早,这样才能工作得更好。因此本句的陈述是正确的。

If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle,but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.
    Get off to a slow start which saves your energy .Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble of searching for clean clothes by laying them out the night before .Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

    Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
    A: Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one's energy.
    B: Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peak at different hours of day.
    C: Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.
    D: Children have energy cycles,too.

    答案:B
    解析:
    根据第一段可以看出,早晨起不来与个人每天的能量周期有关。根据文章第二段中约翰自言自语以及紧接着的解释“Get up , John ! You'll be late for work again ! ” The explanation… temperature-and-energy peak in the evening.可推断出答案。


    答案的线索在第二段最后一句话“Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.”也就是说,如果丈夫和妻子能明白不同的能量周期是怎么回事,家里每个人有什么样的能量周期,很多家庭争吵就不会发生。所以正确答案是A。


    “如果一个人想在早上能量低潮时更有效地工作,那么他该怎么办?”根据这两句话“If your energy is low in the morning but you have…but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.”可以断定正确答案应该是C。


    “建议你早上起床时打个呵欠,伸伸懒腰,因为它们会_______”首先应理解文章最后一段的第一句话“get off to a slow start which saves your energy”,还要理解该句后面的三句话,它们是保存能量的具体方法。“Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch”当然是为了保存能量。所以正确答案是A。


    选项B说Dr. Kleitman解释了为什么人们在一天里的不同时刻会有不同的能量高峰。而文章第二段指出没有人发现为什么会有不同的能量周期“For some people the peak comes during morning…No one has discovered why this is so.”两者不符,所以正确答案是B。

    Energy Cycle
    Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful?This might be called laziness,but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
    During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're“hot”.That's true .The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak .For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening.No one has discovered why this is so,but it leads to such familiar monologues as:“Get up,John!You'll be late for work again!”The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.
