Most of us use alarm clocks to wake up at the right time for school or work. We look at our watches to know the right time for the bus or train. However, there is also a right time to eat, sleep, exercise, and take medicine. We can’t look at a clock for the right time for these activities. We must listen to the clock inside our bodies:the biological(生物的) clock.

Barbara Wells exercised every morning. She woke up at 6:00 a. m. She ran about two miles before she went to work. But Barbara’s 1egs and back started to hurt. She did some exercise before she ran. But her legs and back still hurt. She ran slower, but the pain didn’t stop. Barbara talked to her doctor. The doctor said, “Don’t run in the morning. Try to exercise later in the day. That is the time when your body is at the right temperature for exercise after work after. "Her legs and back didn’t hurt anymore.

Today, doctors are learning more about chronobiology(生物钟学),the study of biological clocks. They are learning about the importance of time for our bodies. For example, it is best for people to go to sleep on time every night and to eat only when they’re hungry. Also, doctors discovered that some illnesses, such as heart attacks, occur(发生) most often in the morning. This information tells them that the best time to take heart medication(药物) may be at night. When patients take heart medication at night, they may prevent a heart attack in the morning.

Many doctors believe chronobiology can help us live healthier lives. It may be the right time to listen to these doctors !

Andy opened his eyes and looked at the clock. 10:00? He jumped out of bed and threw on clothes. He had wanted to get up early and surprise his dad with Father's Day breakfast in bed—with his mom's h1.of course. He took up the wrapped present on his desk and went to find his father.

Andy climbed the rope ladder(梯子)up to the fort. It had two rooms with three small w3..

"So, it's like a t5.in our family?” Andy asked.

"Yes, this is a present for both of us. Maybe you'll build one for your son one day. "

Dad looked around and asked Andy what they would do first in the tree fort. Andy slowly showed the present and said, "Happy Father's Day!”He didn't think it was possible, but Dad's smile widened as he opened the gift. "A chess set! H6.did you know I wanted it?” Andy always saw his dad playing a7.the computer. And he guessed it must be his father's favorite.

"Let's play it!” Dad set up the chessboard. "It's the best gift I got of all this Father's Day.”

"I'm glad you like it, "Andy said.

"I do. And I want to spend more time with you. I always love the father-son time. I spent a lot with your grandfather when I was g8.up. "

Andy looked at his dad, "Can we call Grandpa and i9.him to come to the fort?"
