At the beginning of this century, medical scientists made an interesting discovery: we are built not just of flesh(肌肉) and blood but also of time. They were   41   to show that we all have a ‘body clock’   42   us, which controls the   43   and fall of our body energies,   44   us different from one day to the next.

The   45   of a ‘body clock’ should not be too   46   since the lives of most living things are controlled   47   the 24-hour night-and-day cycle(循環(huán)). We feel   48   and fall asleep at night and become   49   and energetic during the day. If the 24-hour cycle is   50   most people experience unpleasant   51  . For example, people who are not   52   to working at night can find that   53   of sleep causes them to   54   badly at work.

  55   the daily cycle of sleeping and   56  , we also have other cycles which   57   longer than one day. Most of us would   58   that we feel good on some days and not so good on   59  ; sometimes our ideas seem to flow and at other times, they   60   do not exist.

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150個詞左右的英語短文。

   Happiness cannot last forever and it may be due to everything from the weather to the size of your bank account.

   We’re not suggesting that you can reach a permanent state called “happiness” and remain there. But there are many ways to get out of the path of anxiety, anger and sadness into a state of happiness once or even several throughout the day.

Practice mindfulness. Be in the moment. Instead of worrying about your family, focus on the here and now----the food, the company, and the conversation.

Laugh out loud. Researchers at the University of California Irvine, tested 16 men who all agreed they thought a certain videotape was funny. Half were told three days in advance they would watch it. They started experiencing biological changes right away. When they actually watched the video, their levels of stress hormones (激素) dropped significantly.

Make a list. There’s nothing like writing down your tasks to help you organize your thoughts and calm your anxiety. Checking off each item provides a great sense of fulfillment.

I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”

Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names. In Japan, people use landmarks(地標(biāo)) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”

In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”

People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map. They measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.

It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can easily get lost in Yucatan! (268 words)

People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ______.
