19．Rhythm of Life
Choosing the right time to sleep，the correct moment to make decisions，the best hour to eat-and even go into hospital-could be your key to perfect health．
Centuries after man discovered the rhythms（节奏、韵律） of the planets and the cycles of crops，scientists have learned that we too live by precise rhythms that govern everything from our basic bodily functions to mental skills．Man is a prisoner of time．
But it's not just the experts who are switching on to the way our bodies work．（71）F Prince Charles consults a chart which tells him when he will be at his peak on a physical，emotional and intellectual level．Boxer Frank Bruno is another who charts his bio-rhythms to plan for big fights．
（71）E Sleep，blood pressure，hormone levels and heartbeat all follow their own clocks，which may bear only slight relation to our man-made 24-hour cycle．
Research shows that in laboratory experiments when social signals and，most importantly，light indicators such as dawn are taken away，people lose touch with the 24-hour clock and sleeping patterns change．Temperature and heartbeat cycles lengthen and settle into"days"lasting about 25hours．
In the real world，light and dark keep adjusting internal clock to the 24-hour day． But the best indicator of performance is body temperature．As it falls from a 10p．m．high of 37.2℃to a pre-dawn low of 36.1℃，mental functions fall too．（73）D
The most famous example is the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island in the US．The three operators in the control room worked alternating（交替的） weeks of day，evening and night shifts．（74）G Investigators believe this caused the workers to overlook a warning light and fail to close an open valve．
Finding the secret of what makes us tick has long fascinated scientists and work done over the last decade has yielded important clues．（75）B For example，the time we eat may be important if we want to maximize intellectual or sporting performance．There is already evidence suggesting that the time when medicine is given to patients affects how well it works．

A．The rhythm of life is a slight beat．
B．The aim is to help us become more efficient（高效的）．
C．Jenny Hope claims to have tested their body clocks to the limit．
D．This is a key reason why shift work can cause so many problems．
E．Experts say every aspect of human bodies is influenced by daily rhythms．
F．Many people study the state of their bio-rhythms before making their daily plans．
G．Such a dangerous combination never gave their bodies'natural rhythms a chance to settle down．

16．Do you know of Chinese paper cuts？Here I'm glad to tell you anythingabout them．Chinese paper cuts have a long history of over 2，000years．They can be see in different parts of China．Many people no matter young or old，are fond them．People in northern part of China do well in make paper cuts．They cut paper into different shapes like birds，animal，flowers and so on．I think Chinese paper cuts are not only beautiful but also very usefully．People usually put them on doors or windows when they celebrated something happy，especially for the Spring Festival．More and more people are interesting in them． So come to the China and see more Chinese paper cuts someday．

13．Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to improve our English writing abilities．（26）Compared（compare） with other forms of writing，it is shorter and takes（27）lesstime．It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English．（28）Ifwe persist in this practice，gradually we'll learn how to express ourselves in English．In keeping a diary in English，we certainly run up against many difficulties．In the first place，it often happens（29）thatwe have trouble finding appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind．（30）Secondly（second），there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese．（31）Andit is extremely hard for us to put them into English properly．
As far as I am concerned，my（32）suggestion（suggest） is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach．Whenever something（33）beats（beat） us，we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary．We can also turn to our English teacher for help，if necessary．In short，I believe that it is（34）ofgreat use to keep a diary in English for（35）thedevelopment of our writing skills．

20．Three boys and three girls boarded a bus to Lauderdale，Florida，dreaming of golden beaches．When the bus passed through New Jersey，they began to notice Vingo，who sat in front of them，dressed in a plain，ill-fitting suit．
Deep into the night，the bus pulled into Howard Johnson Restaurant，and everybody got off except Vingo．He sat rooted in his seat，and the young people began to wonder：perhaps he was a sea captain，a runaway from his wife，an old soldier going home．
Shortly after a snack，they went back to the bus and one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself．
After a while，slowly and painfully，he told his story．He had been in prison in New York for the past four years．Last week he was released from imprisonment and now going home．
"When in prison I wrote to my wife，"he said．"I told her that I was going to be away a long time，and that if she couldn't stand it，she could just forget me； I'd understand．We used to live in Brunswick，and there's a big oak tree just as you come into town．Last week，I wrote her again．I told her that if she'd take me back，she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree，and I'd get off and come home．If she didn't want me，forget it and I'd go on through．"
She told the others，and soon all of them were in it，waiting for the approach of the great oak tree．Then，suddenly，all of the young people were up out of their seats，screaming and crying，doing small dances of joy．The oak tree was covered with yellow handkerchiefs，20of them，30of them，maybe hundreds，a tree that stood like small flags of welcome flying in the wind．As the young people shouted，Vingo rose and made his way to the front of the bus to go home．
56．What attracted the six young people when their bus passed through New Jersey？B

17．I have been teaching animal behavior at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado for 10years．The course is one of the most popular in the prison．Prisoners have to earn the right to attend the course and they work hard to get in．
One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with people，because animals don't judge them．They trust animals in ways they don't with humans．
Yet，they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another．Many admit that their own"animal behavior"is what got them into trouble in the first place．I teach that though there is competition and aggression in the animal kingdom，there is also a lot of cooperation（合作）and sympathy．
Many of the students want to build healthy relationships，and they find that the class helps them．I use examples of the social behavior of group-living animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining（维持）friendships among people who must work together for their own good and also for the good of the group．
It's clear that science inspires the students here and it also gives them hope．I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane（人道）societies or contributed time and money to conservation organizations．One went on to receive a master's degree in nature writing．
Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would not have done．It opens the door to understanding，trust，cooperation and hope．There's a large population of people to whom science could mean a lot，if only they could have access to it．The class helps me，too．I get as much out of it as the students and it has made me a better teacher．
25．The author's course is welcomed by the prisoners becauseC．
A．they consider animals their best friends
B．they are curious about animal kingdom
C．they feel it easier to get along with animals
D．they are more familiar with animal behavior
26．The author used wolves as an example toC．
A．provide the prisoners with more knowledge
B．explain the cruel side of group-living animals
C．help the prisoners realize the importance of teamwork
D．inform the prisoners that animals get people into trouble
27．We can infer from the text that some prisonersA．
A．have turned over a new leaf
B．are required to attend the course
C．are willing to learn working skills
D．prefer humane education to science．
