21、Our body clock, or natural body rhythm, influences our energy and alertness. Paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of the day when we best perform specific tasks.

The reality, however, is that most of us organize the time around work demands, school deadlines, commuting or social events. Doing whatever the body feels like doing is a luxury in today’s fast-paced modern 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 the 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 modern society.

C. Obeying our body clock is good for our health.

D. Disrupting our natural body rhythm must lead to obesity.

【3】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

【4】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.

23、The concept of “Smart Asian Games” is deeply rooted in all aspects of preparations for Hangzhou Asian Games. Zhejiang promotes the intelligent level of Hangzhou Asian Cames with advanced technologies, and strives to present a spectacular event.

The intelligent operation & maintenance platform makes venue(场馆)management more elaborate. In Asian Games Intelligent Management Centre, various data of Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre Stadium and Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre Tennis Centre such as venue energy consumption, visitor flow and traffic flow are recorded in the intelligent management platform, which is convenient for working personnel to conduct management. In addition, the smart venue management system of Tonglu Equestrian(马术)Centre also integrates meteorological(气象学的)monitoring data, to carry out real-time monitoring for weather conditions around venues, and provides guarantee for event operation.

Smart robots offer more efficient services. At Gongshu Canal Sports Park Gymnasium, smart robots can provide venue guides, event explanation, question answering and other services for audiences, and can also start the automatic patrol(巡逻)function. Moreover, the intelligent monitoring system of each venue can detect faults and inform relevant personnel on time for handling.

Advanced technology achieves a better watching experience. On the external road of Shaoxing Baseball & Softball Sports Centre, the self-driving bus decorated with Hangzhou Asian Games element patterns shuttles among Asian Games venues to facilitate the travel of audiences. Passengers can also enhance the watching experience by adjusting the interior lighting and temperature on the intelligent screen of the vehicle. Hangzhou Asian Games Organising Committee launches Smart Hangzhou 2022 as the first one-stop digital watching service platform in the history of the international large-scale comprehensive sports events.

24、Avoid These Mistakes in Your Social Interaction

Breaking into an existing conversation

Timing is everything. If you see two or more people actively engaged in conversation, they’re probably not ready for you to cut in. First, wait for a rest. 【1】, that’s your chance.

Starting talking without having something to say

If someone appears distant or lost in thought, moving into their personal space and saying “hello” is hardly a way to start a conversation. Try asking permission (e.g., “Excuse me, do you mind if I ask you something?”) and make sure you have a fully formed question or comment in mind (e.g., “Are you having a good time?”). 【2】.

Bringing up controversial(有争议的) topics

If you’re talking to someone new, it’s generally best not to talk about weighty or of-putting topics. 【3】 Maybe it’s the music you’re both hearing, or the food you’re both tasting.

【4】

Once you’ve made a connection with each other, keep that connection going by making yourself easy to understand. If you speak different languages, for example, slow your speech and pronounce clearly. If they ask you what you do for work, don’t use a lot of technical expressions.

Talking too much about yourself - or about the other person

It’s often said that people love to talk about themselves, and that asking questions is the secret to good conversations. 【5】. Nobody likes to feel interrogated(审问), so if you sense that questions aren’t welcome, back off.

A．Being hard to follow

B．Making too much connection

C．But that’s not true for everyone

D．They will lead to a deeper interaction

E．Then once you have someone’s attention or receive a nonverbal go-ahead

F．Aim for something simple that you and the other person can observe together

G．It’s all about creating a comfortable opportunity for the other person to respond
