5.We get up every morning.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 the 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(自言自語) 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 quarreling 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 learn to 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(對抗/抵消)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,get up 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 keeps your energy.Get up with a leisurely 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 or concentration for your sharper hours.

63.If you wants to work more efficiently at your low point in the morning,you shouldC.
A.change his energy cycle     
B.overcome his laziness

D.go to bed earlier

B.help you to control your temper early in the day
C.enable you to concentrate on your routine work
D.keep your energy cycle under control all day

20.It's hard to find Alice Munro in the media.Even after she won the 2013Nobel Prize in Literature,the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight.On Dec 29th,she still didn't seek the spotlight when she was named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times.
In Munro's eyes,ordinary lives always hide larger dramas.So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people.She often focuses on life in her hometown,a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with.She writes about the ordinary things in the village-trees in the Ontario wilderness,poor country schools and long last illnesses.Above all,she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune.
She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary.These are ordinary people,ordinary stories,but she has the magic.Her precise language,depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting.
Runaway,one of Munro's representative works,is a good example of her writing style.One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla,who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark.The story slowly forms a picture of Carla,trapped in a bad marriage,her unhappiness building into desperation until she decides to flee.The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love.It is about lost children and lost chances that we can all find in life.There is pain beneath the surface,like a needle in the heart.
Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968,Munro has won many awards,with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor.On Oct 10th,2013,the Nobel Prize committee named Munro the"master of the contemporary short story".
