A long flight can affect one's biological block, sometimes for days. Air travelers can get very tired and develop unpleasant feelings when they fly great distances across time zones. The natural order of things can become unbalanced on long, overseas trips from east to west or from west to east. This is what we call jet lag. 1.

● Try changing your meal and sleep times before you go

Several days before you travel, start moving your bedtime and hours for meals closer to the times you plan to eat and sleep on your trip.

2.

Change your watch when you get on the airplane. This is playing a trick on the mind. But it can help you to start thinking of the time at the other end of the flight. Try to sleep on the plane if it is nighttime in the place where you are going. Try to stay awake if it is daytime.

● Arrive early

If you are traveling for work or for a personal reason, try to arrive a few days early, if possible. 3.

● Drink water

Drink lots of water before, during, and after your flight. 4. Alcohol and caffeine can interfere with sleep.

● Move around

During your flight, get up and walk around or stretch every so often. 5. Exercise near bedtime can delay sleep, whether on an overseas trip or at home.

A. Play a trick on your watch.

B. This will give your mind and body more time to correct to the new hours.

C. Now the following tips can help you avoid jet lag.

D. Because exercise benefits you a lot after the flight.

E. Avoid drinking alcohol or caffeine a few hours before you plan to sleep.

F. But after you land, avoid heavy exercise near bedtime.

G. Start making small changes while in flight.

The measure of a man,s real character is what he would do it he knew he would never be found out.

— Thomas Macaulay

Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs. Nantette O’Neill gave an arithmetic ____ to our class. When the papers were ____ she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the same mistakes throughout the test.

There is nothing really new about ____ in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. O’Neill ____ even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to ____ after class. I was one of the twelve. Mrs. O’Neill asked ____ questions, and she did not ____ us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the ____ words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to ____ these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.

I don’t ____ about the other eleven boys. Speaking for myself I can say: it was the most important single ____ of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words, they ____ seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a ____ to measure ourselves rather than others.

____ of us are asked to made ____ decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called __ daily to make a great many personal decisions. ____ the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket or turned over to the policeman? Should the ____ change received at the store be forgotten or ____? Nobody will know except ____. But you have to live with yourself, and it is always better to live with someone you respect.
