    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 most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak(高峰). For some people the peak comes before noon. 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: “Get up, John! You'll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to 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. Counteract ( 对抗 ) your cycle to some extent by habitually 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 ( 鼓起干劲 ) and work better at your low point.
    Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely 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 routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
    小题1:If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably________.
    A．he is a lazy person
    B．he refuses to follow his own energy cycle
    C．he is not sure when his energy is low
    D．he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening
    小题2:Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?
    A．Unawareness of energy cycles.B．Familiar monologues.
    C．A change in a family member's energy cycle.
    D．Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.
    小题3:. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should________.
    A．change his energy cycleB．overcome his laziness
    C．get up earlier than usualD．go to bed earlier
    小题4:Which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A．Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one's energy.
    B．Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.
    C．Habits help a person adapt to his own energy cycle.
    D．Children have energy cycles, too.

    Stephen would take my literature lesson. After we introduced ourselves to each other, we talked about what the class would cover and all the things he would learn. It was a course in which he would learn a lot of facts and details in one term. As I talked, I saw Stephen’s eyes getting big with fear.
    I told him to do his assignments (作业) and hand them in on time. I also told him that most successful students made a calendar of all the assignments so they could plan their work load.
    As the fall term went by, I learned more of Stephen’s story. He had struggled in school. It had taken him longer to finish than most young people. Family members, including his mother, kept reminding him that he was a failure. But he kept at it. He told me that before coming to our school, no one had believed he had much potential (潜力).
    Stephen didn’t become an “A” student. His name didn’t appear on any honors list. One reason was that he never did real well on tests. Still, he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day, turning in all of his assignments on time and breaking down his studying into bite-sized digestible portions (易理解的部分). By passing course after course he began to gain a measure of self-esteem (自尊). He was a great singer and he was on the school’s cross-country team.
    Every time I saw him at school he would say, “One bite at a time.” His secret, he said, was that he was practicing what I taught him before classes ever started: “Take it one bite at a time.”
    On graduation day, he said with a bright smile, “One bite at a time.”
    65. Before Stephen began his class, _____.
    A. the author had known him for a long time
    B. the author told him something about his lessons
    C. he was confident about his studies
    D. he made a study plan
    66. From the passage we can know that Stephen’s family _____.
    A. kept encouraging him to continue his studies
    B. thought he had much potential to study well
    C. didn’t think he would do well at school
    D. thought it would take him more time to study than others
    67. What do we know about Stephen?
    A. He was honored for his good results.    
    B. He didn’t do anything except study.
    C. He only broke down his literature lesson into bite-sized portions.
    D. He tried his best to pass his courses.
    68. Which of the following can best describe Stephen’s story?
    A. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart.
    B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
    C. Well begun, half done.
    D. Failure is the mother of success.
