21、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.
During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel the 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 John talks to himself: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation for 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 fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Adjust your cycle to some extent by 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 (打起精神) and work better at your low point.
Begin with a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a slow yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do usual work in the afternoon and spend time doing important work for your high peak hours.
【1】According to Dr. Kleitman if you don’t want to get up in the morning ____________.
A. you must be a lazy person
B. you must catch a cold
C. your energy cycle must be low
D. you should stay in bed
【2】Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?
A. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.
B. Familiar monologues.
C. Unawareness of energy cycles.
D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.
【3】If one wants to work better at his low point in the morning, he should ____________.
A. change his energy cycle
B. go to bed earlier
C. overcome his laziness
D. get up earlier than usual
【4】You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _________________.
A. help you to control your temper early in the day
B. help to keep your energy for the day’s work
C. enable you to concentrate on your routine work
D. keep your energy cycle under control all day
22、“The Last Dance”, the documentary (纪录片), told the story of Michael Jordan and his success with the Chicago Bulls .We learned a lot about Michael Jordan.We took behind - the - scenes glimpses (一瞥) at what it’s like to compete in the NBA .We were given a glimpse into the 90s basketball era (时代) at a time when almost no sports are being played .But it also meant something for our culture, experts say.
Dr.Josh Shuart, the director of sport management at the Jack Welch College of Business & Technology at Sacred Heart University (Connecticut), told the Deseret News that the documentary showed something important for our modern society.Watching “The Last Dance” gave us something to look forward to during a time when there’s nothing else going on, he said.“Why is it important and why did people watch it?

Michael Jordan matters for sports culture, too.Jordan set the standard when it came to connecting sportsmen to brands (品牌) and brands to sportsmen .Sportsmen can take care of their brand during their careers (职业生涯) and even after they stop doing sports .Shaquille O ' Neal is an example, Shuart said.The Los Angeles Lakers star - though highly celebrated for his basketball career一has built post-basketball success through business chances .

23、 In an effort to fight the “throw - away culture” and promote reuse and repair, the city of Berlin has taken the unique step of opening its own secondhand department store.
This isn’t your grandma’s thrift shop (旧货商店). It resells perfectly good items that would otherwise be thrown away. A pun (双关)on the German words for “department store” and “conserving house”, B - Wa(h)renhaus sells a wide variety of products. Far from simply selling old items, the electronic goods have been fixed by expert technicians and come with year’s guarantee. And, to reach more secondhand shoppers, the store was set up right in the middle of the famous Karstadt department store.
With the success of its first six - month trial run, the city plans to open four more similar operations in other parts of Berlin. By 2030, it hopes to have at least one location in each of Berlin’s 12 districts. Since 2008, the city has reduced average annual household waste by about 25 pounds per resident. It also recycles about 49% of its mineral construction waste. Currently, the city estimates (估计) that 8% of abandoned electronic goods and 6% of huge items thrown away can actually be reused.
“Three years ago, we started collecting all kinds of used goods,” city spokesperson Dorothee Winden said. “The goal is to give these things a new life with somebody who can use them.”
【1】Why has Berlin opened its own secondhand department store?
A．To promote recycling.
B．To attract more shoppers.
C．To raise traditional culture.
D．To expand secondhand market.
【2】In which aspect is B - Wa(h)renhaus different from the traditional thrift store?
A．The variety of the goods.
B．The location of the store.
C．The quality of the products.
D．The quantity of the goods.
【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A．Berlin currently has 4 second - hand stores in construction.
B．Berlin has been successful in cutting its waste since 2008.
C．It is not easy to make the goal to expand the market a reality.
D．It is estimated that Berlin will be a zero - waste city by 2030.
24、Reading a dog’s body language requires experience and expert guidance. Zazie Todd, a dog trainer and founder of the blog Companion Animal Psychology, weighs in on how to explain dog’ behaviour.
If your dog licks its mouth...
They’re stressed. Recently, two European studies have highlighted the meaning of this licking. One found that it was a dog response to seeing an angry human face on a computer screen, the other determined that dogs lick their mouths—and also look away—in response to a mild threat. If you spot this sign, try reducing your dog’s stress levels.
If there are fireworks and your dog is shaking…
The noises are frightening. This is a common reaction, but a surprising number of people don’t realize that shaking and trembling are signs of fear. Whereas only a quarter of owners say their dog is afraid of loud noises, half report these behavioral signs, according to research published in Applied Animal Behaviour Science. If you think your pup would be comforted, pet them and remain nearby.
If you’re at the vet and your dog’s tail is down…
They’re anxious. Obvious signs of an unhappy dog include hiding or trying to leave the exam room, but commonly missed signs range from a tucked tail and lowered ears to trembling. If your dog gets bored at appointments, many vets now use food to make the experience more fun.
If your dog leans into you during a petting session…
They like it! If you’re unsure that a dog is enjoying being petted, stop, then judge their reaction. This is called an approval test. If they choose to wander off, the session is over. Other signs of discomfort include sniffing the floor, looking away and panting(喘息). However, if they lean on you or paw at you to get more permission, continue!
【1】According to Zazie’s view, we can understand a dog’s feeling by ______.
A．its pose
B．its eye contact
C．its communication
D．its behavioral signs
【2】What behaviour does your dog have when it feels pressure?
A．It leans on you.
B．It licks its mouth.
C．It is shaking.
D．Its tail is down.
【3】What can we learn from the text?
A．When dogs pant, they like you very much.
B．Half of owners say their dog is afraid of loud noises.
C．When dogs lean on you or paw at you, they try to get more approval.
D．Hiding or trying to leave the exam room means that dogs feel excited.
