What time of a day do you feel most alert(清醒的)? Are you more of a morning person? Or does your head need a few hours to start to work? A lot of studies show that our work in a day has to do with our body clock. It can tell us what time of a day we are best able to work, according to the study.

When it comes to the human brain(大脑), many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body temperature takes time to get higher through the day. Taking a warm shower when you wake up can help make this faster.

But everyone’s body clock is different. Morning people will get up early and work better early in the day. Evening people will wake later but their brain will work better at the end of the day.

Studies show that we’re better at some activities at certain times of the day. Physical performance is at its best between 3 pm and 6 pm, so it’s better to exercise later in the day.

Between noon and 4 pm, people begin to get distracted(思想不集中的). This is partly because our brain becomes less alert after we eat a big meal. Studies also show that we become sleepy around 2 pm.

One more thing, we’d better eat at our active time of the day. This allows our body to burn calories better and stops our blood sugar levels from getting too high.

49. In the first paragraph, the underlined word “It” refers to(指代) ________.

A. the body clock

B. the study

C. the head

D. the body tem perature

Marco Polo was born in Italy in 1254. When he was 17 years old, he always travelled across Europe and Asia with his father, who wanted to do trade with the Chinese. At last, they arrived in Beijing. They were guests at the King’s Palace. Although Marco was young, he was very clever and could speak four languages. The king liked him very much and they became friends. He asked Marco to serve in his palace and sent him to do many important jobs across the country.

The beautiful and powerful things in China amazed Marco. He thought Beijing and the Emperor’s Palace, especially the Summer Palace w as “The greatest palace that ever was ...” “The walls were covered in gold(黄金) and silver and the hall was so large that it could easily seat 6,000 people for dinner.”

There were new things in China which didn’t appear in Europe at that time. Marco was sur prised to see Chinese people using paper money in the markets. In Europe, people paid for things with gold. He could not understand how people could pay for food and valuable things with paper! He was also surprised at the black stones people used to cook. The black stones were coal(煤), but Marco had never seen coal before!

In 1291, after 17 years of service to the king, Marco got back to Italy. He became a very rich man. A writer learned about his story and then wrote a book called The Description of the World, which became one of the most

popular books in Europe.

Although people enjoyed reading this book, many of them thought that Marco’s stories about China were so fantastic that they seemed not true. But Marco always stood by his stories. Just before he died, at the age of 70, people still asked Marco the question “Was it all true?”, and he replied, “I only told a half of what I saw!”

Ben was in the eighth grade when I arrived at his school as a counselor(辅导员). It was surprising to me that he was described as an evil(惹人厌的) boy. How could such a little boy, after being in the school only one year, became an “evil”? Over the next few months, I came to know Ben well enough to see that he was not evil or angry.

But one day, Ben used a chair to hit his teacher and was sent to my office. I asked him what made him do this. He replied that his teacher disliked him. He felt there was no way to ever get her to like him. I asked him if he would tell his teacher this. He said yes, and we called her into my office.

Whe n the teacher came, I asked Ben to talk about his feelings. He then said that he knew he was a very, very bad boy, and he didn’t think anyone could ever like him. His teacher listened to him. Then she gave him a big warm hug(拥抱), telling him she didn’t hate him at all and she wanted to forgive (原谅) him. In fact, she cared very much about him. Only sometimes what Ben did really scared her.

I put my left arm on his shoulders(肩膀) and the right hand on his heart. I told him how wonderful and lovely I saw him to be. I told him how special and brave he was to tell us his hurt feelings.

When I was speaking to him, his whole body came to rest on my right hand next to his heart. From then on, I’m glad to see he improved through the rest of school years.

A child’s mind is clear and sensitive (敏感的). He believes all the things others say about him without thinking

阅读下文并回答问题。

In China there are around 130 different languages in different cities and lots of dialects (方言). These dialects come from about eight different language groups. Each group is quite different. For example, a Mandarin(普通话) speaker in northern China would probably understand very little Cantonese(粤语).

Dialects are necessary parts of history. Sheng Guangqi, a teacher at Shandong University, says, “We can learn about the history of a place by looking at its dialect.” For example, in Shan xi, there are still many people who call matches“qu deng”, which means “get a light”. In the old days, “qu deng” was a piece of small wood with some powder on it. People used it to make fire.

Sheng thinks that dialects are also important for us to know about the culture. They are as important as Mandarin. “Mandarin is useful in many formal(正式的) situations. But in some art performances, such as local opera and short plays, dial ects play an important role.” he said.

Although it is necessary to protect (保护)dialects, Zhang Haoming, an expert from the Ministry of Education, said making Mandarin popular is still the most important thing.

“We will further promote Mandarin. At the same time, we will also protect disappearing languages and the cultural mea ning behind these languages,” he said.

67. How many language groups are dialects from in China?

__________________________________________________________________________

68. Is Mandarin more important than dialects?
