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, too. 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(生物鐘)

Barbara Wells exercised every morning. She woke up at 6:00 am. She ran about two miles before she went to work. But Barbara’s legs and back(后背) started to hurt. She did some exercises 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 exercises after work.” Her legs and back don’t hurt anymore.

Today, doctors are learning more about chronobiology (時間生物學)，the study of biology clocks. They are learning about the importance of time for our bodies. For example, it is best for people to go to sleep at the same time every night and to eat only when they’re hungry. Also, doctors discovered that some illness, such as heart attacks(心臟�。�, occur(發(fā)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 medicine at night, they may prevent a heart attack in the morning.

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

2.How far did Barbara Wells run every morning?

3.How did Barbara Wells' legs and back get well?

4.What is the right time for a heart attack person to take heart medicine?

I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in ____ for 17 years, I had no doubt about my ability to hold their attention and to impress on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.

I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “____!”

The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat ______ about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness(尷尬) was over, I quickly regained my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect--- perhaps _____ their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a sense of achievement.

My students kept diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually replaced by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. ____her next lecture will be better. Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a ____theme(主題). “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical(哲學的) framework of Western thought and laid the historical _____ for all the works we’ll study in class.” I complained. “How should they say I didn’t teach them anything?”

It was a long term, and it gradually became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise ____ questions and provide enough background so that students could draw their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide exact information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!
