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 can lead to obesity.
3.Inspiration 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. natural body rhythm and health
D. The latest research about natural body rhythm.

Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer. The training I received, though excellent, didn't tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.
My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three children. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she couldn't read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.
As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie’s self-confidence. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.
As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.
1.What did the writer do last summer?
A. She worked in the supermarket.
B. She helped someone to learn to read.
C. She helped some single mothers.
D. She was trained by a literacy volunteer.
2.Why didn't Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?
A. Because she liked to walk to the supermarket.
B. Because she didn't have a bus schedule.
C. Because she couldn't afford the bus ticket.
D. Because she couldn't find the right bus.
3.How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?
A. She knew where the goods were in the supermarket.
B. She asked others to take her to the right place.
C. She managed to find the goods by their looks.
D. She remembered the names of the goods.
4.Which of the statements is TRUE about Marie?
A. She could do many things she had not been able to before.
B. She was able to read stories with the help of her son.
C. She decided to continue her studies in school.
D. She helped to build up my self-confidence.
