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.

第1题

Exercise may not be fun, but it isn't that hard. You don't need more than 20 minutes a day, and that's something pretty much everyone can spare. We often neglect our physical health because we're full of bad excuses. If that sounds like you, make this weekend the one where you start getting in shape.

Don't bother with equipment you don't need. With the amount of equipment you'll find in a gym, it's easy to believe you need a lot of stuff to exercise. Sure, that fancy equipment works fine, but people got in shape without it for a long time before it was an option. There's no reason you can't do this, too, so don't assume you need to spend a lot of money. You don't need to spend any, really, unless you plan to run and need a decent pair of shoes.

Put together a plan you can follow. Nobody sticks with an exercise routine they hate. You have to at least be able to tolerate a fair amount of the workout you plan for yourself and find a way to stay motivated to do the rest. If you like the traditional route—that is, exercising for around 30-45 minutes a few days a week—we put together a workout routine that you can follow easily.

Don't start a great routine and then sit all day long. Getting exercise is important, but it doesn't mean much if you're sitting down all day. Fortunately that can be easily-remedied by just getting up once in a while, doing some desk exercises, and/or switching to a standing desk. The important thing is that you're not a lumpy human being for most hours of your life. When you're active for only a very small portion of a given day, exercise isn't going to help you all that much.

1.According to the passage, why couldn’t many people keep themselves in good condition?

A. They are short of money.

B. They are very tired after a day’s work.

C. They always find many different excuses.

D. They are very busy all the time.

2.Which of the following is a better workout plan, according to the passage?

A. The one people have to tolerate all the workout.

B. The one people keep motivated to go on.

C. The one people have to keep exercising for around 30-45 minutes every day.

D. The one people hate to follow.

3.What is advised to do to help you stay healthy according to the passage?

A. Keep standing up and sitting down while working.

B. Switch desks while working.

C. Get up occasionally while working.

D. Be active while working.

4.Which of the following statements is true according to passage?

A. You need to set aside a very small portion of a day for exercise.

B. You need to spend a lot of money doing exercise.

C. you need some stuff to exercise.

D. You need to make a plan you can follow.

5.What can not be implied from the passage?

A. There are people who always find reasons to do what seems impossible.

B. People should await his chance instead of creating it.

C. Numerous people always find excuses to give up something possible.

D. People should stop making excuses and starting out before it is too late.

阅读理解：阅读下面的短文，根据文章内容进行判断，正确写“T”错误写“F”。

Feedback from your customers is very important. The more information you have from them, the more competitive you will be in your field. The following techniques will help you know what the customers think of your business.

1. Ask your customers directly and cater to their wishes. This is the simplest way to find out what people want from your service or product. When hotel customers are asked what they want for their breakfast and then the hotel staff are asked what they think the customer wants, the answers are quite different.

2. Be a customer yourself and find out what your customers experience when they use your service. This is one of the most obvious but underused ways for getting feedback. For example, you can act as one of the customers in a wheelchair, and see how you’re treated.

3. Use a focus group. Focus groups are representatives of customers whose job is to provide you with information on their needs and preferences.

4. Use questionnaires and surveys. This is one of the most well-established feedback techniques. When well-conducted, they usually work well.

5. Encourage your front-line staff to build strong relationships with customers. Your front-line staff are the most resourceful and reliable, as well as the least costly, of your customer feedback sources. Their communication with the customers will become important information for improving customer care.

You may deliver the best service in the world. But if it is not what people want, you’re wasting your time. Implement one, two, three or all of the above techniques, and your service and product will improve overnight.

1. Hotel customers and hotel staff think the same about breakfast.{T、F}

2. A good or bad experience of a customer in a wheelchair in your shop shows whether your service is good or not.{T、F}

3. It’s not necessary to know about the customers’ needs and preferences. {T、F}

4. Questionnaires are useful in getting feedback from customers.{T、F}

5. Front-line staff have nothing to do with improving customer service.{T、F}

Running: Sport or Way of Life？ You go through the channels several times and find that onc

e again there's nothing on TV that interests you. Not a problem! Just put on some running shoes and comfortable clothes and go for a run. One of the best things about the sport of running is that you don't need expensive equipment. All you need is a good pair of running shoes and a safe environment. But don't be fooled into thinking the sport of running is easy. It requires discipline and concentration. Running is good for you both physically and mentally. It strengthens your heart, lungs, and muscles. It makes you more aware of your body. Running also improves your body so that you don't get sick as easily. It can even help you to stay more focused in school because exercise helps you to think more clearly. How do you get engaged in the sport if you don't know much about it？ Most schools offer running programs. A simple Internet search can help you find some in your area. The programs show you how running can offer competition or just be for fun. They also teach runners to set practical goals and take care of their bodies. Runners have great respect for each other because they know how difficult the sport can be. If you go to a race, you'll see people cheering for all the runners. Running isn't always about how fast you are running or how far you're going. It's about getting out there and doing it. Participation is more important than competition, and effort is recognized over talent. If you're looking for more than just a sport, running may be the perfect choice for you.

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it is painful? This might be c

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it is 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 labour 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 forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) 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 it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) 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 (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get with a leisurely yawl and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble some search 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 sharper hours.

1.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、he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening

2.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、A change in a family member’s energy cycle.

3.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、go to bed earlier

4.You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______.

A、help to keep your energy for the day’s work

B、help you to control your temper early in the day

C、enable you to concentrate on your routine work

D、keep your energy cycle under control all day

5.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.

Getting the Best Value for TimeAre you satisfied with what you achieve in the hours spent

Getting the Best Value for Time

Are you satisfied with what you achieve in the hours spent studying, or do you wonder where all the time has gone, without much to show for it？ How hard are you really working？ Here are some hints to help you make the most of your study time.

Ⅰ. EFFECTIVE LEARNING

1. Review lecture notes as soon after a lecture as possible. Half an hour spent while the lecture is still fresh in your mind will do more to help you to develop an understanding of what you have heard and remember it than twice the time later on. It can be helpful to go over new work with other students to check that you have grasped all the points.

2. If you have been given an essay or assignment to do, note accurately what is required and start it when your memory of it is clear.

3. Revise and review regularly. Set regular weekly times to review the work in each course. This revision should be cumulative -- adding a bit to the total at a time, covering briefly all the work done so far in the term. This way you will consolidate the groundwork and avoid panic before exams.

4. When you revise, space out the time devoted to any one topic. You will learn more in six one hour periods spread over one week than in one six hour period.

5. Limit your blocks of study to 2 hours on any one topic or type of work. After 1/2 to 2 hours of intensive study you begin to tire and concentration weakens. Take a break at some "achievement point"(end of a chapter, solving a problem, etc. )and then changing to another part of the course or another type of work(e. g. ,from reading to writing)will provide the change necessary to keep up your efficiency.

6. Find out the best times for working for yourself. Some times may be better than others for different types of work and also for your own biological clock: if you tend to feel sleepy in the afternoon, this may not be the best time to try to read history or work out math problems. You may think that working in to the early hours suits you, but does it fit in with an early class next morning？ You are likely to feel tired next day and so gain nothing!

Ⅱ. PRACTICAL STEPS

1. Plan a program of balanced activities. University life has many aspects which are important for getting fie benefit from your time here. Some activities have fixed time requirements(e. g. , classes, meetings, sport), others are more flexible(e. g. , recreation, relaxation, study time, personal matters, eating, sleeping).

2. Plan how you will use your study time. Knowing what you are going to do and when saves a lot of time spent on making decisions, false starts, retracing your steps to get the books you need, etc. Commit yourself to studying a particular assignment at a particular time.

3. Study at a regular time and in a regular place. You will learn to associate that time and place with working. This is after all what the world' s workers have to do.

4. Trade time and don' t steal it. When something unexpected happens and takes up time you had planned for study, decide immediately how you can make up the study missed.

5. Give yourself rewards for work completed on time(e. g., 2 hours solid work = 1 cup of tea or coffee; essay completed = 1 hour' s TV ). After a strenuous evening finishing an essay or a set of problems, allow yourself "unwinding time" before bed.

Ⅲ. PLANNING TIME

Working out a time-table will not turn you into a perfectly efficient person, but having a plan and sticking to it for a few weeks can help you to form. better study habits and actually to save time, so that in the end you have more free time than before. Here is a way to plan your time which is flexible and practical.

1. Make out a master time-table for the term, marking your fixed commitments only: class

A．Y

B．N

C．NG
