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 ______.

22、 Every day, we have messages to give people through Post-it Notes. They have a special glue on the edge(边缘)of the paper. They are sticky so that you can leave them anywhere and they won’t fall off. You can reuse the notes because the special glue on the back doesn’t wear off easily.
Who invented Post-it Notes? Art Fry was a scientist who worked for the famous 3M Company. He needed a bookmark that stayed in place but didn’t tear(撕)the page when he wanted to remove it. So he took some of the weak glue a friend made and put it on the back of a yellow piece of paper. Then he wrote a report to his boss and put the yellow sticky paper on the top page. His boss took off the note, wrote an answer, stuck the paper back on, and sent it back. This was the beginning of Post-it Notes. It was a new and creative way to communicate.
Today, Post-it Notes are one of the most popular office products. Everyone uses them for many different purposes. One man used one to write a marriage proposal(求婚)and put it on his girlfriend’s front door. She wrote her answer and put the note back on his door. One mother put a note on the back of her son’s car before he left on a long trip. When he arrived, he found the note. After 3,000 miles, it was still on the car. One university student was waiting in the bus station and started to feel sleepy. She didn’t want to miss her bus so she put Post-it Notes all over herself. The notes asked people to wake her up in time for her bus. She did fall asleep but her plan worked. Someone saw the notes and woke her up.
There are Post-it Notes to please everyone’s tastes. You can buy Post-it Notes in fifty different colors, twenty-seven different sizes, and fifty-six different shapes. More than 400 Post-it products are sold in more than 100 countries around the world. Art Fry should be proud of his invention.

23、When a dirty and untidy orange cat showed up in the prison yard, I was one of the first to go out there and pet it. I hadn't touched a cat or a dog in over 20 years. I spent at least 20minutes, knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around, relaxed. What he was expressing outwardly, I was feeling inwardly. It was an amazing bit of grace to feel him under my hand and note that I was reaching a life or another creature with something as simple as my care.
Over the next few days, there were other prisoners responding to the cat. Every yard period, a group of prisoners gathered there. They stood around talking and taking turns petting the cat. These were guys you wouldn't usually find talking to each other. Several times I saw an officer in the group, not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners. Bowls of milk and water appeared along with bread, wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from getting it.
The cat was obviously homeless and in pretty bad shape. People said that the cat came to the right place. He's getting treated like a king. This was true. But as I watched, I was also thinking about what the cat was doing for us. There was a lot of talk about what's wrong with prisons in America. We need more programs. We need more psychologists or treatment of various kinds. Some may even talk about making prisons more kind. But I think what we really need is a chance to practise our own kindness. Not receive it, but give it. After more than two decades here, I know kindness is not a value that's encouraged. It's often seen as a weakness.
Instead, the culture encourages keeping your head down, minding your own business, and never letting yourself be weak.
The cat did my heart good to see the effect he had on me and the men here. By simply saying, "I need some help here", he did something important for us. He needed us. And we needed to be needed. I believe we all do.
【1】Which of the following statements is true?
A.The cat was dirty because it was kept in prison.
B.The officer in the prison enjoyed petting the cat.
C.The prisoners prepared food for both the cat and birds.
D.The author realized the importance of practising kindness.
【2】We can infer from the third paragraph that________.
A.showing love to others can make prisoners strong
B.the American prison culture will be improved
C.the author is not content with the prison culture
D.caring for others is encouraged in American prisons
【3】In Paragraph 2, the author mentioned that "Several times I saw all officer in the group, not chasing people away, but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners."to
A.show us the officer and prisoners get along well with each other
B.show us the American prison culture does need improvement
C.show us the officer and prisoners all like cat
D.show us the American prison culture is great
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Caring Makes Us Human.
B.Prison Culture is Important.
C.Animals Need Care.
D.Everyone Needs to be Cared for.
24、Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone, and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch. Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.
" I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a. m. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open," said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort Greene.
The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600, the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings. So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.
" As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn't something anybody needs," said Sam Biddle, who writes for Gizmodo.com. " We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things," he added, "and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars. "
9to5Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.
"It's just like smartphones 10 years ago," Weintraub said. "A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it's unnatural," he said. " There's gonna be improvements to that, and this a step there. "
【1】One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is to ____.
A. program the opening hours of a bar
B. supply you with a picture of the future
C. provide information about your surroundings
D. update the maps and GPS in your smartphones
【2】The underlined phrase "pop up" in the third paragraph probably means " ____".

【3】According to Sam Biddle, the smartphone-like glasses are ____.

B. attractive to New Yorkers
C. available to people worldwide
D. expensive for average consumers
【4】We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glasses ____.
A. may have a potential market
B. are as common as smartphones
C. are popular among young adults
D. will be improved by a new technology
25、This past April I visited my parents on the farm I’d grown up on. I ________ outside to drink in the feel of “home”, a ______ I really needed right then. The cold but fresh early-morning air chilled my nose, ears and bare hands.
Suddenly an _______ sweet smell of lilacs (丁香花) called to me. The lilacs in the distance were indeed in glorious bloom! Hurrying over, I pulled a bunch to my face and ______ the intoxicating (令人陶醉的) scent, as I had done every springtime throughout my childhood. A warm delight flowed through my _______ bones.
Walking back home, the symptoms of springtime – warmth, _________ and beauty – journeyed right along with me. At home, my father sat at the kitchen table, absorbed in the morning market reports.
I __________ announced, “It’s spring! The lilacs are in bloom !”
“Lilacs in blossom or not, it isn’t spring until winter is gone,” he contradicted. “We’ll still get a bit of __________ weather.”
But my heart refused to let that _______ the lilacs had brought to me disappear. Immediately, I ________ the card my mother had sent me just that past week – one that had inspired this trip home. Knowing I was feeling down, she sent a card with a photo of a single flower coming from the crack of rock. Printed on the card were the ________ words, “In the midst of winter, I found within me an everlasting spring,” ________ by my mother’s words, “Spring has always been your favorite time of year. As always, it’s ________.”
These are words that my mother, the optimist, lives by. Even during winter, she ________ spring. I love her sense of joy and her willingness to ________ it.
