If you feel sleepy every morning, don't blame yourself. Your work schedule could be to blame.
A recent research shows that, for many of us, our work schedules do not agree with our natural body clocks—and experts are urging employers to take notice.
“When work schedules agree with people's natural sleep patterns, they produce higher quality and more creative work because they are more focused, less stressed and generally healthier. The opposite is also true—when employees are sleep deprived, they are more likely to make major mistakes and suffer from workplace injuries，” said Christopher Barnes, a management professor from the University of Washington.
“But it's not just about the amount of sleep you get. Whether you can be productive at 8 a．m. depends on your own body. Human beings each have an internal body clock，” said Till Roenneberg, a professor at Ludwig?Maximilian University in Munich. And that clock can differ greatly depending on the person.
“It's like feet，” said Roenneberg. “Some people are born with big feet and some with small feet, but most people are somewhere in the middle.”
Many companies start the work day at 8 a．m. or 9 a．m., putting their work schedules in disagreement with their employees' body clock. That mismatch, along with the pressure from work at all hours of the day and night, means that many people suffer from “social jetlag”. In other words, their bodies are always in the wrong time zone. He estimates that more than 70% of people get up earlier than they should.
“There is an old saying that sleep is for the weak，” said Roenneberg. “But I do feel like it doesn't help to have shortened sleep.”

A few months after we moved to a small city in France, I wanted to meet my husband for lunch at the university where he worked. I got lost. I had to call him for help. One of his friends said to him later, “How could she get lost? She just needed to go straight.”
Well, no. That’s the problem. You never “just go straight”, because France is the land of roundabouts (彎道). Highways, major streets, little village lanes – if you go straight long enough, you’ll end up going in circles.
Even after a year here, I’d still get lost going to the grocery store, or just about anywhere that wasn’t within a hundred yards of my house.
I admit I have a horrible sense of direction, can’t read a map, and am not such a good driver. Plus, I’ve been spoiled (寵壞) by living in American cities, where you just indeed need to “go straight”. But in France, driving became my nightmare — the roads are roundabouts within roundabouts.
Finally I found a solution: a GPS program on my smart phone. I rely on it to get anywhere, even places I’ve been.
But it does leave me feeling very bad and helpless when, often, the program doesn’t work, can’t find a GPS signal, or gives wrong information. I’d have to wait until my GPS gets recovered, or else I use my old solution: I call my husband. Is the GPS making us more stupid, or helping us going around more? In my case, it’s probably both.
1.The friend of the writer’s husband’s thought ________.
A. the roundabouts were confusing B. the way to the university was simple
C. she didn’t lose her way D. she was a foolish woman
2.The writer thinks if one just “goes straight” in France, he will probably ________.
A. arrive at his destination at last B. come back to where he starts
C. find his way out of the city D. end up in a grocery store
3.Which of the following statements is NOT true about the writer?
A. She lacks the sense of direction.
B. She once lived in a different country.
C. She has stayed in France for more than a year.
D. She has already got used to the French way of life.
4.What does the writer think of the GPS program?
A. It’s a satisfactory solution to her problem.
B. It improves her sense of direction.
C. It doesn’t always work very well.
D. It is a useless device for her.

Light travels（傳播）at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound.In one second,light travels about 300,000 km,but sound travels only 344m.You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race（比賽）.If you stand some distance away from the starter,you can see smoke come from his gun before the sound reaches your ears.This great speed of light produces（產生）some strange facts.Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us.If you look at the light of the moon tonight,remember that the light rays（光線）left the moon 1.3 seconds
before they reached you.
The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km per minute.In some cases（在某種情況下）the light from one of tonight's stars started on its journey to you before you were born.
Thus,if we want to be honest,we cannot say "The stars are shinning（發(fā)光）tonight."We have to say,"The stars look pretty.They were shining four years ago but their light has only just reached Earth."
