Energy Cycle (能量循环)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 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(顶点). For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语) as: “Get up , John! You’ll be late for work again!” th e possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling 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 (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If our energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed for a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.A leisurely yawn and stretch when getting up can ___________.

Mind your mannersIn England recently three foreigners came to a bus stop and waited. About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus.Learning the language of a country isn’t enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn’t agree. But in many parts of India, a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty. In that country, you shake your head to mean “yes”—a nod means “no”.At a meal in countries on the Arabic peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeatedly refilled as soon as you drink up. If you think that you have had enough, you should take the cup or glass in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.In Europe, it is quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting and talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this Thailand, however, could bring about trouble. Also, you should try to avoid touching the head of an adult---it’s just not done in Thailand.11. The three foreigners at the bus stop _____________.

Horse TalkDo you know horses talk? You can learn to understand “horse talk” if you pay close attention to them.When horses live in the wild, other animals try to eat them, so a lot of horse talk is about staying alive. Even now, when most horses live on farms, they watch for danger. For this reason, never walk behind a horse. If you surprise it, the horse might mistake you for a lion or wolf and give a dangerous kick.By watching the ears, you can get clues to what the horse is hearing. A horse can turn each ear in a different direction. For a wild horse, this skill is important for survival. The horse can hear something creeping up behind it while also checking out a threating noise in front. When a horse lets its ears down, it’s feeling safe and relaxed. Though these actions may be natural response and not deliberate communities, they help you know what the horse is thinking.Sometimes horses can send definite message. For example, they know they are safer when they’re with other horses. If they become isolated, they “whiny(嘶鸣),” calling for company. They’re saying, “Where are you? I’m over here!” Domestic horses use the same sounds to stay in touch with other horse.If a horse snorts(打响鼻儿), it’s not communicating anything. It’s just clearing dust or grass seed out of its nose. But if it snorts while holding its head high and staring at something, it’s saying, “That looks dangerous. Get ready to run!” When two horses meet, they put their noses together and smell each other’s breath. It’s their way of asking, “Are you a friend?” Horses also “blow,” breathing out the air loudly through the nose, when they meet something strange. They are asking, “Is this safe?”Horses have a language of their own. Now you know a bit of what they might be saying!Horses in the wild “talk” mainly to____.
