He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes in the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, John! You will 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 whenmembers of the family realize what they have different energy cycle.You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. If our 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 steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start, which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn(打哈欠) 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 or concentration for your sharper hours.41.

While it’s a parent’s job to say “no” at appropriate time, saying no during a special day intended for family togetherness can definitely spoil the fun for both adult and child.When our children were in early elementary school, we came up with a plan that took the “yes” and “no” spending decision out of our hands, and placed it into theirs.We were off to Disneyland, and during previous visits our son would keep asking us to by souvenirs(纪念品) from various shops. Before going to the park, we explained that we would be giving them each their share of the money, and it would be totally their decision how to spend it. But once their portion was gone, it was gone.It was interesting how differently our two children budgeted their portion. Our daughter spent her portion on her food and drink, and managed to buy a snack and souvenirs. Our son, who usually found something he had to have at every corner, turned into a nervous miser. At lunch time, we wouldn’t even order a soda, and when he saw something he wanted to buy, he studied it until he decided he didn’t need it.By the end of the day, our daughter had spent her share, and seemed quite pleased with the choices he had made. Our son, who had spent very little, was suddenly frantic(狂乱的) to buy something (or anything) with his remaining cash. I felt a little sorry for him, because while we had an enjoyable day, free from the responsibility of monitoring our children’s spending, his day was spent dealing with the consequences of his choices.46.

Parents say “no” whenever their children ask to buy somethingD. Children are given a sum of money and they decide what to buy.48. What did the author’s son do with his own money at Disneyland?A. He has hesitant to spend his own money.B. He managed to buy things at every cornerC. He was happy and free with his moneyD. He used up his money quickly49. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The parents had an enjoyable dayB. The daughter had great experiencesC. The son and daughter spent their money quicklyD. The family learned something from the experience.50. Which word may express the author’s tone in describing his son?A. WorryB. ReliefC. RegretD. ApprovalPassage FourThe government may control prices when where is a problem such as rapidly increasing rents or a rise in the cost of living. When the government controls prices，there is no longer a normal relationship between the price of a product and the quantity consumers will buy. Government controls may help in an emergency. However, some economists believe that controls can have negative effects over a long period of time.In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase。
