What time of day can you think most quickly? Are you a morning person? Or does it take you a few hours to get your brain (脑)going? A lot of recent research suggests that we should pay attention to our body clock. It can tell us what time of day we can perform best at.

Many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body’s temperature takes time to rise through the day. Taking a warm shower when you wake up can help your body’s temperature rise quickly.

But everyone’s body clock is different and some are special. Morning people will get up early and work better early in the day. Evening people will work later but work better towards the end of the day.

Research shows that we’re better at some activities at certain times of the day. Physical performance (体能) is at its best between 3 pm and 6 pm, so it’s better to exercise later in the day.

Between noon and 4 pm, people begin to pay less attention. This is because we think less quickly after a big meal. Research also shows we become sleepy around 2 pm. This is why people in Spain take a short sleep in early afternoon.

Finally, it is best to eat when we’re active. This allows our body to burn calories (卡路里) better and stops our blood sugar levels (血糖）from getting too high.

24. Which can tell us what time of day we can perform best at?

A. Morning people      B. A warm shower

C. Our body temperature     D. Our body clock

25. What is the best time for physical performance?

A. Between 3 pm and 6 pm.    B. Between 7 pm and 10 pm.

C. Between noon and 4 pm.    D. Between 5 am and 8 am.

26. Why is it best to eat when we’re active?

A. Because eating makes the brain unable to think quickly.

B. Because it makes our blood sugar levels higher.

C. Because our body can burn more calories.

D. Because our body needs a short sleep.

27. What is the best title for this article?

A. How can we work better    B. The best time to exercise

C. How can we keep healthy    D. The perfect time to do something

C

Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said, “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today--and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”

A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.

Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.

Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.”

“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”

“Oh, sure.”

“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”

“Nobody. I do it.”

“Really-at night, when you’re asleep?”

“Sure.”

“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”

28. Why did the teacher used Tinkertoys in class?

A. To know more about the students  B. To make the lessons more exciting

C. To raise the students’ interest in art  D. To teach the students about toy design

29. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A. He liked to help his teacher   B. He preferred to study alone

C. He was active in class     D. He was imaginative

30. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Mistake  B. Disadvantage   C. Difficulty   D. Burden

31. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?

A. To help them to see their creativity     B. To find out about their sleeping habits

C. To help them to improve their memory  D. To find out about their ways of thinking

D

For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer. For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone’s life as nothing．

Cold can affect other parts of the body. Theexpression “get cold feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.

The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.

A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy. Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers．

Out in the cold means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise---he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be．

32. When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by

   “_________”．

A．I give him the cold shoulder     B．I think he is a cold-blooded man

C．I think he is a cold fish         D．I’m likely to get cold feet

33．If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children in Africa,

  you will say _________．

A．she is a cold-blooded killer     B．she gets cold feet

C．she is a cold fish              D．she is out in the cold

34．We can use the expression “_______” to describe a man who abandons or hurts his lover

   without mercy．

A．cold-blooded   B．cold shoulder  C．cold feet   D．cold-hearted

35．The topic of this passage is about _________．

A．the relationship between cold and our body    B．some expressions about friendship

C．some expressions connected with cold        D．how cold weather comes into being

How to make friends at a new school

Starting with a new school can be difficult. Everything is nothing like your previous school, and you don't even know where to go for your own classes.  36      However, if you use these skills, you can quickly turn some of those strangers into friends.

Be yourself.

  37   If some people don't accept you, they're not the kind of friend you need. People often stay together because they have similar interests. For example, someone who does a lot of sports may make friends with those who also run or swim a lot.

  38 

Remember to be nice to the people you meet at your new school. If you think that you will say something that may make them feel sad, do not say anything and just nod your head if they talk to you. Also, remember to be as helpful as possible!

Believe in yourself.

A smile goes a long way. When you walk in the halls, don't keep your eyes on the floor. Raise your head and make eye contact (接触) with other people.  39     Introduce yourself. Tell them your name and where you're from.                              

Remember people’s names.

You like it when people use your name, and so do other people.   40   Besides, ask them in a kind way if they have a nickname(昵称). You'd be amazed that this might come in handy.

A. People may become angry if you just begin by saying "Hey" each time.

B.Be friendly to others.

C.Take part in after-school activities you like.

D.Making new friends can be hard, too.

E.Don't sit at the back of the classroom where other people don't notice you!

F.If you see someone you know, smile or say "Hi".

G.Never change who you are to try to fit in.
