A

Ten years ago I used to be very fit （健康的）．I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends．I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks．In those days I didn't earn very much．I had a job in an office．It wasn't a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing．

Then，about eight years ago，I got a much better job．The pay was better，but the hours were a lot longer．I bought a car and drove to work every day．I began to take people out to lunch．And I began to put on weight，too．I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn't have any time for things like that any more．

There's a lot of stress （压力）in my job．Perhaps that's why I started drinking more than I used to．For example，I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home，but then I started filling my glass to the top，and instead of having one glass，I would have several．I started smoking a lot，too．I never used to smoke at all．

Two months ago I had a heart attack．At first I just couldn't believe it．Luckily it wasn't very serious．The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less．He also advised me to work less and get more exercise．But I just haven't any time! My job

takes everything out of me!

Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job．Perhaps I could do something like I used to do．But if I do that，I won't earn as much．I have a family to support．I have to think of them，too．I just don't know what I should do．What do you think？

What time of day can you think most quickly? Are you a morning person? Or does it take you a few hours to get your brain (脑）going? A lot of recent research suggests that we should pay attention to our body clock. It can tell us what time of day we can perform best at.

Many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body’s temperature takes time to rise through the day. Taking a warm shower when you wake up can help your body’s temperature rise quickly.

But everyone’s body clock is different and some are special. Morning people will get up early and work better early in the day. Evening people will work later but work better towards the end of the day.

Research shows that we’re better at some activities at certain times of the day. Physical performance (体能) is at its best between 3 pm and 6 pm, so it’s better to exercise later in the day.

Between noon and 4 pm, people begin to pay less attention. This is because we think less quickly after a big meal. Research also shows we become sleepy around 2 pm. This is why people in Spain take a short sleep in early afternoon.

Finally, it is best to eat when we’re active. This allows our body to burn calories (卡路里) better and stops our blood sugar levels (血糖）from getting too high.

5. ________ can tell us what time of day we can perform best at.

A. Morning people

B. A warm shower

C. Our body temperature

D. Our body clock
