204555. （2023•鄠邑区•高一上期末） Pet lovers were very angry．Last May，a news article online said three states had passed laws limiting the number of pets that each household could have to only two．The news spread quickly，as many people shared the article on Facebook and other social media sites．But pet owners had nothing to worry about----the article was made-up．
   Many fake （虚假的） news are harmless，but others might have played a role in real-world events．When it comes to online news，even adults can have a hard time telling fact from fiction．
   Education experts say kidould start learning how to tell the difference．
   Of course，there are plenty of reputable websites you can visit to read the news．Well-known news organizations，such as The New York Times and the Associated Press，have their own sites．
   But many other online "news" sources aren't always reliable．And many students have trouble finding out when articles aren't entirely true or are trying to persuade them to think in a certain way．
   Why would someone purposely publish an article that isn't true？The most common reason is to make money．Websites are paid by the companies that post ads on them．Companies want to place their ads on sites that get a lot of visitors．So people create fake news with attention-catching headlines to try to get users to click on them．
   Some of the biggest websites are trying to stop the flow of fake news．Last November，Facebook and Google banned fake news sites from advertising on their pages．Facebook is also working with fact-checking organizations to identify and flag fake articles．But experts say the best way to slow the spread of fake news is for people to be more skeptical（'怀疑的） of what they read online．

202186. （2022•周至县•三模） On Friday January 14，2022，blast was heard 2，000km away in New Zealand and 3，300km away in Australia.Boats crashed into a quiet harbor in Southern California，a remote island was battered in Japan by 4 foot waves and two women were swept to their deaths on a beach in Peru some 6，000 miles from an undersea volcanic eruption so powerful that the tsunami which it set off stirred ocean waters halfway across the globe.
   But on Sunday，as reports of the volcano's effect crowded in from far-flung countries，there was little word from Tonga，the island nation just 40 miles from the site of the extraordinary explosion.As concerns from all over the world grew，the nation of about 100，000 people remained largely cut off from the rest of the world，its undersea internet cables knocked out of commission by the volcano.

203440. （2015•师大附中•一模） About 6 percent of luxury hotels in three major Chinese cities have stopped serving shark fin （鱼翅），a survey has found．Although the controversial dish remains on the menu at most hotels，Green Beagle Environment Institute，a Beijing-based non-government organization that was the main sponsor of the survey，said the results are encouraging and reflect increased awareness．
   The survey was carried out in Beijing，Shenzhen and Fuzhou，which were selected as representative cities to collect basic data on shark fin consumption nationwide．In Beijing，132 hotels completed the phone questionnaire between Nov．20 and Dec．12．Only 12 hotels，9 percent，said they do not serve shark fin．A similar survey of 131 Beijing hotels conducted a year ago found only one hotel that did not serve shark fin，Wang Xue，chief coordinator （协调人） of the survey，said on Saturday．In Shenzhen，four out of the 85 four and five star hotels surveyed had stopped serving shark fin，accounting for about 5 percent．In Fuzhou，only one of the 40 hotels surveyed did not serve shark fin．On average，about 6.61 percent of the hotels in the three cities did not serve the food．

203323. （2016•西工大附中•七模） More than 20 Chinese and American experts discovered that young people of both countries are facing the same problems of economic and social pressures and lack of confidence．Wayne Meisel，director of the Campus Outreach Opportunity League of Minnesota University，said that under economic pressure American young people have to work hard and most students have to take part-time work in order to support themselves．In these circumstances，he said，young people lack confidence，which was not the case in the 1960s when young people thought themselves capable of doing anything．In spite of the different conditions in China，Li Xuequan，director of the higher education section of the All-China Youth Federation，said Chinese young people are also facing economic pressure and are worried about inflation and corruption．In order to solve these problems，the Chinese and American experts agreed that youth organization should call on the whole of society to create favourable conditions for the healthy growth of young people，as well as to encourage them to meet the urgent needs of society．Meisel said that since last year he has sent letters of"challenge to youth"to many young people，urging them to commit themselves to meet such needs as feeding the hungry，housing the homeless，caring for the lonely and sick，serving the elderly and preserving the environment．The letter says："Through the service，we touch the lives of others and enrich our own．"

203342. （2016•西工大附中•九模） High-quality customer service is told by many，but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done．
Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of retail （零售） store，but instead will alarm their friends，relatives，co-workers，strangers and anyone who will listen．Store managers are often the last to hear complaints，and often find out only when their regular customers decide to frequent their competitors，according to a study jointly conducted by Verde group and Wharton school．"Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers．"Said Paula Courtney，president of the Verde group．"The store loses the customer，but the shopper must also find a replacement．"
On average，every unhappy customer will complain to at least four others，and will no longer visit the specific store．For every dissatisfied customer，a store will lose up to three more due to negative reviews．The resulting"snowball effect"can be disastrous to retailers．
According to the research，shoppers who purchased clothing encountered the most problems．Ranked second and third were grocery and electronics customers．The most common complaints include filled parking lots，messy and overloaded shelves，sold-out items，long check-out lines，and rude salespeople．
During peak shopping hours，some retailers solved the parking problems by getting moonlighting local police to work as parking attendants．Some hired flag wavers to direct customers to empty parking spaces．This guidance got rid of the need for customers to circle the parking lot endlessly，and avoided confrontation between those eyeing the same parking space．
Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts，pre-stocking sales items，hiring speedy and experienced cashiers，and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions．Most importantly，salespeople should be diplomatic and polite with angry customers．
"Retailers who're responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over problems than those who aren't so friendly．"Said Professor Stephen Hoch．"Maybe something as simple as a greeter at the store entrance would help．"
Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer，instead of complaining to the rest of the world．Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong．

（1）Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints？
A．Customers have no easy access to store managers．
B．Few customers believe the service will be improved．
C．Customers would rather relate their unhappy experiences to others．
D．Most customers won't bother to complain about unhappy experiences．
（2）Shop owners often hire moonlighting police as parking attendants so that shoppers       ．
A．won't have trouble parking their cars
B．won't have any worries about security
C．can find their cars easily after shopping
D．can stay longer looking around in the store
（3）What contributes most to smoothing over problems with customers？
A．Design of the store layout．
B．Manners of the salespeople．
C．Hiring of efficient employees．
D．Huge supply of goods for sale．
（4）To achieve better shopping experiences，customers are advised to       ．
A．voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directly
B．put pressure on stores to improve their service
C．shop around and make comparisons between stores
D．settle their disagreement with stores in a diplomatic way．

203359. （2016•西工大附中•八模） So hungry do some plants get that they eat flies，spiders，and even small frogs．What's more amazing is that these plants occur naturally （in special environments） in every state．In fact，they're found on every continent except Antarctica．
You've probably seen a Venus' flytrap．It's often sold in museum gift stores，department stores，and even supermarkets．A small plant，it grows 6 to 8 inches tall in a container．At the end of its stalks （茎） are specially modified leaves that act like traps．Inside each trap is a lining of tiny trigger （触发） hairs．When an insect lands on them，the trap suddenly shuts．Over the course of a week or so，the plant feeds on its catch．
The Venus' flytrap is just one of more than 500 species of meat-eating plants，says Barry Meyers-Rice，the editor of the International Carnivorous（食肉的）Plant Society's Newsletter．Note：Despite any science-fiction stories you might have read，no meat-eating plant does any danger to humans．
Dr．Meyers-Rice says a plant is meat-eating，only if it does all four of the following："attract，kill，digest，and absorb"some form of insects，including flies，butterflies，and moths．Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants---well，most of the time．
All green plants make sugar through a process called photosynthesis （光合作用）．Plants use the sugar to make food．What makes"meat-eating"plants different is their bug-catching leaves．They need insects for one reason：nitrogen （氮）．Nitrogen is a nutrient that they can't obtain any other way．While almost all green plants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil，"meat-eating"plants can't．They live in places where nutrients are hard or almost impossible to get from the soil because of its acidity．So they've come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals．In fact，nutrient-rich soil is poisonous to"meat-eating"plants．Never fertilize them!But don't worry，either，if they never seem to catch any insects．They can survive，but they'll grow very slowly．
（1）According to the passage，carnivorous plants        ．
A．only grow in wild field
B．cannot grow on Antarctica
C．are as common as flies
D．are rare to see
（2）Venus' flytrap preys on insects by        ．
A．its numerous long and thin stalks
B．a container where it grows
C．the lining of tiny trigger hairs
D．its insect-catching leaves
（3）We can conclude from the third paragraph that        ．
A．carnivorous plants are dangerous
B．carnivorous plants are harmless to humans
C．carnivorous plants occasionally eat books
D．carnivorous plants are fictional
（4）In the eyes of the author，which of the following statements is TRUE？
A．Carnivorous plants can grow in nutrient-poor soil．
B．Carnivorous plants cannot grow in acid soil．
C．Carnivorous plants will die if they cannot catch any insects．
D．Carnivorous plants can get nitrogen from nutrient-rich soil．

203406. （2016•西工大附中•七模） Andy Steele lives just a few blocks from the campus of Black Hills State University in Spearfish，S．D．，so commuting（经常往返） to class isn't the problem．But he doesn't like lectures much，isn't a morning person，and wants time during the day to restore motorcycles．
   So Steele，a full-time senior business major，has been taking as many classes as he can from the South Dakota State system's online offerings．He gets better grades and learns more，he says，and insists he isn't missing out on the college experience．
   "I still know a lot of people from my first two years living on campus，and I still meet a lot of people，" he says．But now，he sets his own schedule．
   At least 2.3 million people took some kind of online courses，according to a recent survey by the Sloan Consortium，an online education group，and two-thirds of colleges offering "face-to-face" courses also offer online ones．But what were once two different types of classes are looking more and more alike and often falling into the same pool of students．
   At some schools，online courses originally intended for non-traditional students living far from campus have proved surprisingly popular with on-campus students．A recent study found 42 percent of the students enrolled in its distance education courses were located on campus at the university that was hosting the online courses．
   Numbers vary depending on the policies of particular colleges，but other schools also have students mixing and matching online and "face-to-face" credits．Motives range from lifestyle to adapting to a job schedule to getting into high-demand courses．
   Washington State had about 325 on-campus undergraduates taking one or more distance courses last year．As many as 9，000 students took both distance and in-person classes at Arizona State last year．
   "Business is really about providing choices to their customers，and that's really what we want to do，" said Sheila Aaker，extended services coordinator （协调人） at Black Hills State．
   Many schools，such as Washington State and Arizona State，let departments and academic units decide who can take an online course．They say students with legitimate academic needs - a conflict with another class，a course they need to graduate that is full - often get permission，though they still must take some key classes in person．

（1）What is the purpose of the passage？
A．To introduce Steele to us，who prefers online courses．
B．To tell us about the development of campus courses．
C．To show the differences between campus courses and online courses．
D．To show more on-campus students are taking online courses．
（2）We can learn from the passage that Andy Steele        ．
A．lives far from the campus
B．knows none of his classmates
C．wants to have his own lifestyle
D．doesn't get good marks
（3）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？
A．The undergraduates attend the online courses for different purposes．
B．It is expected that distance education is popular with on-campus students．
C．About 325 on-campus undergraduates took online courses in Washington last year．
D．Different colleges have different policies about online courses．
（4）From what Sheila Aaker said in the passage，we can tell        ．
A．business is the most popular major in universities
B．collegeould provide more majors for students
C．where the similarity between business and colleges lies
D．why colleges offer online courses to on-campus students

203408. （2016•西工大附中•七模） The baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby．Almost from the moment it is born，the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother．During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large，warm，and soft object in its environment，particularly if that object also gives it milk．After a week or so，however，the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on "mother"- the real mother or the mother-substitute．
   During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby．The Harlows，a couple who are both psychologists，discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mother-substitutes - one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire．If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature，the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother．However，if the wire model was heated，while the cloth model was cool，for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mother-substitutes as their favorites．Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother．
   Why is cloth preferable to bare wire？Something that the Harlows called contact comfort seems to be the answer，and a most powerful influence it is．Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers' skins，putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can．Whenever the young animal is frightened，disturbed，or annoyed，it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body．Wire doesn't "rub" as well as does soft cloth．Prolonged （长时间的） "contact comfort" with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk．
   According to the Harlows，the basic quality of a baby's love for its mother is trust．If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother，the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be．It screams in terror and curls up into a furry little ball．If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom，the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life．After a few minutes of contact comfort，it obviously begins to feel more secure．It then climbs down from the mother-substitute and begins to explore the toys，but often rushes back for a deep embrace as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well．Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding onto its "mother．"

（1）Psychologically，what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two weeks of its life？
A．Warmth
B．Milk
C．Contact
D．Trust
（2）After the first two weeks of their life，baby monkeys prefer the cloth mother to the wire mother because the former is        ．
A．larger in size
B．closer to them
C．less frightening and less disturbing
D．more comfortable to rub against
（3）It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure，        ．
A．it frequently rushes back for a deep embrace when exploring the toys
B．it spends more time screaming to get rewards
C．it is less attracted to the toys though they are interesting
D．it cares less about whether its mother is still around
（4）The main purpose of the passage is to        ．
A．give the reasons for the experiment
B．present the findings of the experiment
C．introduce the method of the experiment

203439. （2015•师大附中•一模） Our body clock，or natural body rhythm，influences our energy and alertness（警觉）．paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of day when we best perform specific tasks．
   The reality，however，is that most of us organize their time around work demands，school deadlines，commuting or social events．Doing whatever your body feels like doing is a luxury in today's fast-paced modern society．
   But that doesn't mean it isn't worth trying．Obeying our body clock has significant health benefits．Disrupting our natural body rhythm，on the other hand，has been linked to problems such as depression，obesity，or headache，says Steve Key，a biology professor．
   When the body clock can synchronize（使……同步）the rhythms of its natural processes，it "gives us an advantage in daily life"，says Key．
   According to him，when it comes to cognitive （认知的） work，most adults perform best in the late morning．As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the morning and continues to increase until midday，our memory，alertness and concentration gradually improve．
   However，he adds，our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter．Most of us are more easily distracted （分心） between noon and 4pm．
   Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around 2pm，making that a good time for a nap．
   Surprisingly，tiredness may increase our creative powers．For most adults，problems that require open ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired，according to a study in the journal Thinking & Reasoning．
   When choosing a time of day to exercise，paying attention to your body clock can improve results．Physical performance is usually best from about 3 to 6 pm，says Michael Smolensky，a professor of biomedical engineering．
   Of course，not everyone's body clock is the same，making it even harder to synchronize natural rhythms with daily plans．

（1）If we know our natural body rhythm well，we can．
A．organize our time around work demands
B．find out the suitable time to do specific tasks
C．do whatever our body feels like doing
D．be sure to be healthy
（2）Inspiration to solve a difficult problem will most probably come to us        ．
A．when we get up in the morning
B．when we are full of energy in the late morning
C．when we are tired in the evening
D．when we are asleep at night
（3）The main purpose of the passage is to        ．
A．criticize
B．persuade
C．encourage
D．inform
（4）Which of the following can be the suitable title for the passage？
A．Something About Natural Body Rhythm
B．Natural Body Rhythm Is Bad For Us．
C．What Is Natural Body Rhythm？
D．All The Research About Natural Body Rhythm

204904. （2022•雁塔二中•高二下期末） California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s，according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor（因素）.
   The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46，000 square miles of California forests，the new study finds.No area was spared or unaffected，from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles.In the Sierra high country，the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent；in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
   Many factors contributed to the decline，said Patrick McIntyre，an ecologist who was the lead author of the study.Woodcutters targeted big trees.Housing development pushed into the woods.Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources（资源）.
   But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010，McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.
   The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage.The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed，taking into account such things as rainfall，air temperature，dampness of soil，and the timing of snowmelt （融雪）.
   Since the 1930s，McIntyre said，the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures，which cause trees to lose more water to the air，and earlier snowmelt，which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.

（1）What is the second paragraph mainly about？
A．The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.
B．The increasing variety of California big trees.
C．The distribution of big trees in California forests.
D．The influence of farming on big trees in California.
（2）Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees？
A．Ecological studies of forests.
B．Banning woodcutting.
C．Limiting housing development.
D．Fire control measures.
（3）What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre？
A．Inadequate snowmelt.
B．A longer dry season.
C．A warmer climate.
D．Dampness of the air.
（4）What can be a suitable title for the text？
A．California's Forests：Where Have All the Big Trees Gone？
B．Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon
C．Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests？
D．Patrick McIntyre：Grow More Big Trees in California

203477. （2015•师大附中•四模） Scientists recently discovered that pictures on cave walls at Creswell Crags are the oldest known in Great Britain．But they didn't find out in the usual way．
   Archaeologists often date cave art with a process called radiocarbon dating．The technique can measure the age of carbon found in charcoal（木炭）drawings or painted pictures．Carbon is an element found in many things，including charcoal and even people．But in this case，there was no paint or charcoal to test．People carved the pictures of animals and figures into the rock using stone tools．The scientists had an "aha!" moment when they noticed small rocks stuck to the top of the drawings．The small rocks must have formed after the drawings were made．
   "It is rare to be able to scientifically date rock art，" said Alistair Pike，an archaeological scientist at Britain's University of Bristol． "We were very fortunate that some of the engravings were covered by stalagmites（石笋）．
   When a test proved that the stalagmites formed 12，800 years ago，the scientists knew the art underneath them had to be at least that old．And some of the animalown，like the European bison，are now extinct--another tip-off that the art is quite old．
   The artists came to Creswell Crags，This place is one of the farthest points north reached by our ancient ancestors during the Ice Age．At that time，much of the North Sea was dry，so people could move about more easily．
   Some tools and bones found there are 13，000 to 15，000 years old．They show that the travelers hunted horses，reindeer，and arctic hare．Their artwork is similar to art in France and Germany．It tells scientists that the Creswell Crags artists must have had a close connection to peoples several thousand kilometers away-another important clue to understanding how humans spread out across the world．

（1）Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage？
A．Cave Art About Animals Is Most Beautiful
B．Cave Art Found in an Unusual Way
C．Cave Art Turns Out to Be Britain's Oldest
D．Cave Art in Britain
（2）From Paragraph Two，people can conclude        ．
A．archaeologists can work out the date of cave art
B．radiocarbon dating appeared only in Britain
C．archaeologists are good at using stone tools
D．drawings and painted pictures are really necessary for the formation of small rocks．
（3）Why do scientists say the art is quite old？
A．The art was carved into stone with stone tools．
B．The animals carved in the stone are beautiful．
C．The cave is one of the farthest points in the world．
D．Some pictures were covered by stalagmites more than 10，000 years old．
（4）By studying the cave art，scientists know something about        ．
A．how ancient people crossed the North Sea
B．why some of the animals have died out
C．how humans spread out across the world
D．what kind of animals people hunt at that time

203322. （2016•西工大附中•七模） The baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby．Almost from the moment it is born，the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother．During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large，warm，and soft object in its environment，particularly if that object also gives it milk．After a week or so，however，the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on"mother"-the real mother or the mother-substitute．
During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby．The Harlows，a couple who are both psychologists，discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mother-substitutes-one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire．If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature，the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother．However，if the wire model was heated，while the cloth model was cool，for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mother-substitutes as their favorites．Thereafter they switched and spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother．
Why is cloth preferable to bare wire？Something that the Harlows called contact comfort seems to be the answer，and a most powerful influence it is．Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers' skins，putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can．Whenever the young animal is frightened，disturbed，or annoyed，it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body．Wire doesn't"rub"as well as does soft cloth．Prolonged （长时间的）"contact comfort"with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk．
According to the Harlows，the basic quality of a baby's love for its mother is trust．If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother，the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be．It screams in terror and curls up into a furry little ball．If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom，the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life．After a few minutes of contact comfort，it obviously begins to feel more secure．It then climbs down from the mother-substitute and begins to explore the toys，but often rushes back for a deep embrace as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well．Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding onto its"mother．"
（1）Psychologically，what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two
weeks of its life？

A．Warmth

B．Milk

C．Contact

D．Trust

（2）After the first two weeks of their life，baby monkeys prefer the cloth mother to
the wire mother because the former is ．

A．larger in size	B．closer to them
C．less frightening and less disturbing D．more comfortable to rub against

（3）It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure，．
A．it frequently rushes back for a deep embrace when exploring the toys
B．it spends more time screaming to get rewards
C．it is less attracted to the toys though they are interesting
D．it cares less about whether its mother is still around
（4）The main purpose of the passage is to ．
A．give the reasons for the experiment
B．present the findings of the experiment
C．introduce the method of the experiment
D．describe the process of the experiment．

203516. （2015•西工大附中•八模） 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 labour 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．For some people that peak comes during the forenoon．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 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 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 energy and work better at your low point．
   Get off to a slow start which saves your energy．Get up with a 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 for your sharper hours．

（1）If you want to work better at your low point in the morning，you should       ．
A．change your energy cycle
B．overcome your laziness
C．get up earlier than usual
D．go to bed earlier
（2）You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will       ．
A．help to keep your energy for the day's work
B．help you to control your temper early in the day
C．enable you to get your energy on your routine work
D．keep your energy cycle under control all day
（3）What's the best title of the passage？
A．Change Your Habits
B．Save Your Energy
C．Daily Energy Cycle
D．Temperature-and-Energy Peak
（4）The text is likely to be selected from a book of       ．
A．fashion
B．geography
C．environment
D．Science
