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 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 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. When ever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharp hours.

1.What is the best title of the passage?

A．Change Your Habits                      B．Save Your Energy

C．Daily Energy Cycle                       D．Temperature-and-energy Peak

2.If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably_______.

A．he is a lazy person

B．he refuses to follow his own energy cycle

C．lie is not sure when his energy is low

D．he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening

3.Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?

A．Unawareness of energy cycles

B．Familiar monologues.

C．A change in a family member's energy cycle.

D．Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.

4.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

To son, Cecil,

Just a quick note before I start in earnest. When I wrote this, you were 8, still a little boy. In 2002, I was called to active duty in the Marine Corps in the war on Terrorism (恐怖主義). On the 11th of September 2001 when America was attacked, I knew that I would eventually(最終) have to go and I was filled with a deep sense of sadness. That night as you and Keiko were asleep, I looked at your little faces and couldn’t help but fight the tears. I knew it would be hard for you because I had a similar experience. When I was a little boy aged 6, my dad, your Grandpa Cawley, was sent to Vietnam during the war there. I remember how much I missed him, too. But now unfortunately I have come to realize just how difficult it must have been for Grandpa to be away from his children for a year. Thinking about this, I wanted to put my thoughts and feelings down for you and your sister. I am so sorry that I had to leave for such a long time. There is no place I would rather be than with you and Keiko. You two are the lights of my life. I have known no greater joy than in the few years since you two were born. I hope to have many more years with you. If this doesn’t happen, then know that I love you more than words can express. If for some reason I don’t make it home, I will need you to take care of your little sister and your Mom. You will be the man of the Cawley family. Be good my son and God will watch over you as he has me. I will be waiting impatiently for the time when we can all be together again.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2014屆廣東省汕頭市高二10月月考英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

 We all remember seeing hitchhikers, standing by the side of the road, thumb, sticking out, waiting for a lift. But it is getting rare nowadays. What killed hitchhiking? Safety is often mentioned as a reason. Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime have put many drivers off picking up hitchhikers. That no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester no doubt reflects the safety fear: a large, strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.

  But the reason may be more complex: hitchhiking happens where people don’t have cars and transport services are poor. Plenty of people still hitchhike in Poland and Romania. Perhaps the rising level of car ownership in the UK means the few people lift hitchhiking are usually considered strange. Why can’t they afford cars? Why can’t they take the coach or the train?

  Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car; many of the remainder will be quite old. The potential hitchhiking population is therefore small. Yet my trip proves it’s still possible to hitchhike. The people who picks me up were very interesting-lawyer, retired surgeon, tank commander, carpenter, man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains. My conclusion is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes in red, spotted scarves. Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn’t help stopping.

  The future of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet, via sites such as hitchhikers. org. But for now, you can still stick your thumb out (actually, I didn’t do much of that, preferring just to hold up my destination sign) and people—wonderful, caring, sharing, unafraid people—will stop.

  In the UK, with its cheap coaches and reasonable rail service, I don’t think I’ll make a habit of it. But having enjoyed it so much, I’m ready now to do a big trip across Europe and beyond. In the 1970s a female friend of my wife’s hitchhiked to India. How wonderful it would be to have another go, though Afghanistan might be a challenge. I wish I’d got that tank commander’s mobile number.

1.The author tried to hitchhike but was rejected by single women drivers because        .

    A. they were not heading towards Manchester

    B. they thought most hitchhikers were dangerous

    C. hitchhiking had been banned and they didn’t want to break the law

    D. he was a strong man in strange clothes who seemed dangerous

2.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?

    A. Movies have discouraged people from hitchhiking

    B. Car ownership levels are lower in Romania than in the UK.

    C. 25% of UK people don’t have access to cars.

    D. Increased car ownership has reduced the need for hitchhiking.

3.The “fat blokes in red, spotted scarves” in Paragraph 3 most likely means     .

    A. murderous hitchhikers        B. friendly and talkative hitchhikers

    C. typical hitchhikers           D. strange hitchhikers like the author

4.According to the author, future hitchhikers are more likely to              .

    A. visit websites and find people to share cars with  

    B. stand by roads with their thumbs sticking out

    C. stick out signs with their destinations written on  

    D. wait for some kind people to pick them up

5.From the last paragraph, we know that the author          .

    A. frequently hitchhikes in Britain      

    B. plans to hitchhike across Europe

    C. thinks public transport is safer for travel

    D. is going to contact the tank commander

One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by sending newspapers door to door, was so hungry that he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.
