Our body clock，or natural body rhythm，influences our energy and alertness．Paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of day when we best perform specific tasks．
The reality，however，is that most of us organize their time around work demands，school deadlines，commuting or social events．Doing whatever your body feels like doing is a luxury in today's fast-paced modem society．
But that doesn't mean it isn't worth trying．Obeying our body clock has significant health benefits．Disrupting our natural body rhythm，on the other hand，has been linked to problems such as depression，obesity，or headache，says Steve Key，a biology professor．
When the body clock can synchronize（使……同步）the rhythms of its natural processes，it “gives us an advantage in daily life”，says Key．According to him，when it comes to cognitive（认知的）work，most adults perform best in the late morning．As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the morning and continues to increase until midday，our memory，alertness and concentration gradually improve．However，he adds，our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter．Most of us are more easily distracted（分心）between noon and 4 pm．
Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around 2 pm，making that a good time for a nap．Surprisingly, tiredness may increase our creative powers．For most adults，problems that require open ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired， according to a study in the journal Thinking & Reasoning．
When choosing a time of day to exercise，paying attention to your body clock can improve results．Physical performance is usually best from about 3 to 6 pm，says Michael Smolensky，a professor of biomedical engineering．
Of course, not everyone's body clock is the same，making it even harder to synchronize natural rhythms with daily plans．
1．If we know our natural body rhythm well, we can ．A．find out the suitable time to do specific tasks
B．organize our time around work demands
C．do whatever our body feels like doing
D．be sure to be healthy
2．Which of the following is NOT true?
A．Our alertness is influenced by our natural body rhythm
B．Doing whatever your body feels like is very difficult in our modem society．
C．Obeying our body clock is good for our health．
D．Disrupting our natural body rhythm can lead to obesity．3．According to Steve Key，which of the following is NOT true? A．When our body clock synchronizes the rhythms of its natural processes，we can do better．
B．When it comes to cognitive（认知的）work，most people perform best in the late morning．
C．As body temperature rises before awakening in the morning，our concentration gradually improves．
D．We concentrate better in the late morning than between noon and 4 pm．4．Inspiration（灵感）to solve a difficult problem will most probably come to us ．
A．when we get up in the morning B．when we are tired in the evening
C．when we are full of energy in the late morning
D．when we are asleep at night
5．Which of the following can be the suitable title for the passage? A．What is natural body rhythm?
B．Natural body rhythm is good for us．
C．Something about natural body rhythm．
D．The latest research about natural body rhythm．

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

"My aunt will come down soon, Mr. Nuttel," said a young lady of fifteen. Framton Nuttel attempted to say something to please the niece. Privately he doubted whether this visit would do much towards helping with his nerve problem.
"I know how it will be," his sister had said, "People there are nice.
I shall just give you letters of introduction to all the people I know there." Framton wondered whether Mrs. Sappleton, the lady to whom he was presenting one of the letters of introduction came into the nice division.
"Do you know many of the people round here?" asked the niece. "Hardly a soul," said Framton.
"Then you know practically nothing about my aunt. Her great tragedy （悲剧）happened just three years ago," said the child, “Out through that window, her husband and her two young brothers went off for their day's shooting. They never came back. Poor aunt always thinks that they will come back someday. She has often told me about Ronnie, her youngest brother, singing ‘Bertie, why do you bound?"'
At this time, Mrs. Sappleton came in, greeting, “I hope you don't mind the open window." She talked on cheerfully about the shooting. To Framton it was all purely horrible. He made a desperate but only partially successful effort to turn the talk on to a less scary topic. "The doctors agree in ordering me complete rest, and an absence of mental excitement." he announced, "On the matter of diet they are not so much in agreement," he continued.
"No?" said Mrs. Sappleton, in a voice which only replaced a yawn at the last moment. "Here they are at last!" she suddenly cried. In the deepening dusk out came three figures with a tired brown spaniel(猎犬). And then a young voice rang out of the dusk, "I said, Bertie, why do you bound?" Framton grabbed wildly at his stick and hat, without a word of goodbye, and rushed out of sight.
“What is up?" Mrs. Sappleton was confused.
"I expect it was the spaniel," said the niece calmly, "He told me that he was once hunted into a tomb by a pack of dogs, and had to spend the night in a newly dug tomb with the creatures barking just above him. Enough to make anyone lose their nerve."
Romance at short notice was her specialty.

3. Which word can best describe Framton?

B. Brave.
C. Fragile.
D. Wise.
4. What can be inferred about the niece from the last sentence?
A. She was good at making up a story in a short time.
B. She showed a strong love for scary stories.
C. She fell in love with Framton in no time.
D. She took no notice of strange visitors.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

【题文】C
Pilling a cat can be a “terrible” experience. Cats don’t want something pushed down their throats, and they’ll fight with all their strength to prevent it. In fact, it’s amazing how powerful their small bodies can be.
The easiest way of pilling a cat is to press the pill into powder. Then mix the powder with a small amount of wet food. If your cat usually eats dry food, she will probably view the wet food as a treat and eat it up.
If your cat won’t eat th e wet food that contains the pill or if she is too ill to eat, you can get a “pill gun”. There are some basic instructions. Getting your cat’s mouth to open is going to be the most difficult part. First, be sure the pill is in a handy place. Then you can put your cat on a bookshelf with her bottom in a corner or you can put her on your lap firmly tied. Have your cat facing to the right if you’re right-handed. With your left hand, hold your cat at the cheekbones, putting your palm at the top of her head. Keeping your finger off the trigger (扳机), with your right hand, insert the pill gun until the pill is positioned over the tongue and open throat. Be sure to give your cat a treat directly after giving the pill.
If you don’t feel comfortable using a pill gun, you can try giving the pill by hand. Push your cat’s head backwards just far enough so that her nose is pointing towards the ceiling. At this point, most cats will slightly open their mouths. With the little finger or ring finger of the hand holding the pill, open the bottom jaw a little more. You may need to hold her top jaw with your other hand while doing this. Aim straight and lightly throw the pill or drop it. Most cats will then swallow the pill.
1. Pilling a cat can be a terrible experience because cats ______.
A. are amazingly powerful and dangerous
B. may fight with all their strength against pills
C. refuse something pressed down their throats
D. are difficult to treat once they’ve got ill
2. What can be inferred according to the second paragraph?
A. Wet food with medicine is usually a treat to cats.
B. Cats used to dry food must reject wet food.
C. The easiest pilling is to press the pill into powder.
D. Cats are probably interested in something new.
3. Using a “pill gun”, you had better hold your cat ______ if you’re left-handed.
A. facing to the right
B. with your right hand
C. at the head
D. on your lap firmly
4. A cat probably opens its mouth naturally when ______.
A. its nose is straight upwards
B. it is touched by fingers
C. its head is turning around
D. it is served with its favorite pills
