3 . Studies have suggested early rising and success might be linked. People who wake up early are more in keeping with the traditional corporate schedule and tend to have more positive personalities, which might lead to better grades in school or higher wages on the job.
Is getting up early for everyone? No.There's been lots of research about how some people are biologically more likely to feel more alert (机敏的)in the morning, while others are at their best at night.You might be more alert and have better cognitive (认知的)ability in the afternoon, for instance.So, if you don't naturally feel alert in the morning but decide to wake up early anyway, you might be disturbing your actual top performance times.Of course, people may have personal reasons for making an early start.Parents with young children or workers with nontraditional hours may also have no choice about what time they start the day.
Getting up early doesn't necessarily translate to instant success at the office.In fact, depending on the person, it could end up having a negative effect.Especially if you don't normally wake up super early and are trying to follow some kind of productivity fashion.An even worse condition may arise if you're actually reducing sleep to become an early riser.Sacrificing sleep means you may be hit by the many negative effects of sleep lack.Getting a full night's sleep and getting the same amount of sleep at the same time each night are both important.So if early rising means cutting sleep, don't do it.
What should you do? Don't listen to thoughtleaders or Linkedln influencers but figure out what works best for you.Pay attention to when you feel most tired and most awake.Make a note of the times you fall asleep and wake up naturally.Try to adjust your schedule to those times, as that's how you'll tap into most of your natural energy for the day ahead.And above all, it's getting adequate amounts of sleep.
1. What is Paragraph 1 intended to tell us?| A．The early bird catches the worm. |
| B．A good beginning makes a good ending. |
| C．A thousand mile trip begins with one step. |
| D．Constant dropping wears the stone. |
| A．People have different cognitive ability. |
| B．It disturbs working orders. |
| C．Not all are in their best state in the morning. |
| D．Few people have their top performance times. |
| A．It can lead everyone to success. |
| B．It has no negative effects. |
| C．It means shortening the sleep time. |
| D．It is less important than sleeping enough and well. |
| A．Everyone is suitable for getting up early. |
| B．Getting up early will translate to instant success at the office |
| C．Sacrificing sleep means you may be hit by the many negative effects |
| D．Getting a full night’s sleep is of no importance. |
| A．Follow the advisers' directions. |
| B．Find out your own best time table. |
| C．Sleep more and better than before. |

6 . I’m a teacher.
I was born the first moment that a question leaped from the mouth of a child.
I have been many people in many places.
I am Socrates exciting the youth of Athens to discover new ideas through the use of questions.
I am Anne Sullivan tapping out the secrets of the universe into the outstretched (伸展开的) hand of Helen Keller.
I am Aesop and Hans Christian Andersen uncovering truth through countless stories.
The name of those who have practiced my profession ring like a hall of fame (名人堂) for humanity Buddha, Confucius, Moses and Jesus.
I am also those whose names and faces have long been forgotten but those lessons and characters will always be remembered by their students.
Despite the maps, charts, formulas, verbs, stories and books, I really have nothing to teach, for my students really have only themselves to learn, and I know it takes the whole world to tell you who you are.
I am a paradox (矛盾的人). I speak loudest when I listen the most. My greatest gifts are in what I am willing to appreciatively receive from my students.
Material wealth is not one of my goals, but I am a full-time treasure seeker in my search for new opportunities for my students to use their talents.
I have a past that is rich in memories. I have a present that is challenging, adventurous and fun, because I am allowed to spend my days with my future. Thank God, I am a teacher.

7 . Many students dream of becoming an architect because it is such a popular job. I talked to American architect Suzanne Johnson Crocker to find out more about the advantages and disadvantages of choosing architecture as a career.
Q1: Why did you choose architecture as a career?
A: When I was young, I knew I wanted a job that was challenging and would allow me to keep learning. I considered chemical research, but I found myself bored by its limited range. I met a friend in college who studied architecture, and I was excited to learn how architecture combines art, math, and science. Whether working on historic structures or new projects, to me architecture is limitless, difficult, and rewarding.
Q2: What are the best subjects to study at school if you want to be an architect?
A: The education of an architect centers on the studio, where communicating ideas is key. Communication includes drawing; writing, speaking, discussing, and model making. To support their work in the studio, students must study a variety of different subjects, including both general classes and architectural classes. I was very lucky to have spent four years in liberal arts (文科) and science before studying architecture. This means that I am able to draw on a wide range of learning experiences.
Q3: Do you have any advice for someone that wants to be an architect?
A: Keep your eyes on the goal. When I was at university, we joked that studying architecture was harder than military training! We had long hours, tough assignments, and difficult exams. You will go through a lot of difficult times when you are studying to be an architect, but remember to enjoy life and take time out for hobbies and sports.

8 . That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pulled up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes: “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.
