Do you like to eat sushi(寿司)? Many people are afraid to eat it, because they think the bacteria(细菌) in it might make them sick. However, a new study shows that sea bacteria are good for people. The study finds that a special enzyme(酶) from sea bacteria is helpful to humans. It helps people to get more energy from food.

To people’s surprise, the enzyme is present only in the Japanese. The Japanese traditionally like to eat food rich in seaweed(海藻). And the seaweed is rich in this kind of enzyme.

However, the enzyme isn’t present in all the Japanese. During the study, just 5 out of 14 Japanese had the enzyme. All the Americans studied didn’t have the enzyme.

“The number is small,” said researcher Mirjam Czjzek. “But we can say that this enzyme is present only in the Japanese and not in the North Americans.”

Then some people think that maybe other people are able to get the enzyme if they eat a lot of seaweed. The study suggests that they collect uncooked seaweed to make their sushi.

Restaurant sushi is often cooked, which will destroy the enzyme. So, if you want to get that enzyme, you can travel to Japan to have a taste of the real sushi.

1. Sea bacteria are _______ for people.

A. helpful B. harmful C. important D. necessary

2. Why do the Japanese have the special enzyme?

A. Because they eat a lot of seaweed.

B. Because they were born with such an enzyme.

C. Because they get more energy from food.

D. Because they like to eat food full of bacteria.

3.Which of the following is FALSE?

A. The Japanese have a diet rich in seaweed.

B. All the Japanese studied have the special enzyme.

C. All the North Americans studied don’t have the enzyme.

D. The enzyme helps people to get more energy.

4.According to the study, about _______ of Japanese have the enzyme.

A. 5% B. 14% C. 35% D. 60%

5.Which of the following food has the enzyme?

A. Restaurant sushi. B. Restaurant seaweed.

C. Uncooked seaweed. D. Seaweed soup.

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 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 legs 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.” Her legs and back didn’t hurt anymore.

Today, doctors are learning more about chronobiology(n.生物钟学), the study of biological(adj.生物的) 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 heat attacks, occur(v.发生)most often in the morning. This information tells them that the best time to take heart medication may be at night. When patients take heart medication(n.药物)at night, they may prevent a heart attack in the morning.

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