What time of day do you feel most alert(清醒的)? Are you more of a morning person? Or does your brain need a few hours to get going? A lot of research suggests that we should pay attention to our body clock. It can tell us what time of day we are be stable to perform, according to the Wall Street Journal(华尔街日报).

When it comes to the human brain, many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body’s temperature takes time to rise through the day. Taking a warm shower when you wake up can help speed this up.

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

Research shows 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. Research also shows that we become sleepy around 2 pm.

Finally, it is best to eat during our active periods. This allows our body to bum calories better and stops our blood sugar levels from getting too high.

4．Many people perform best later in the morning because ________.

A．they can’t get up very early B．That’s when the brain wakes up

C．they have to take a shower first D．the body’s temperature needs time to rise

5．Evening people had better ________.

A．rise late and work in the morning B．wake later and work in the evening

C．rise early and work in the morning D．wake later and work after midnight

6．According to the research, which of the following is TRUE?

A．It’s better to do exercise in the afternoon. B．We perform better after eating a big meal.

C．sleeping at 2 pm is not good for our health. D．Our body burns calories better at night.

7．What is the passage mainly about?

A．Research about time. B．The best time to do different things.

C．Different periods of a day. D．Brain activities at different places.

Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.

But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing? What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent（锲而不舍的）action. When you learn your lessons at school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.

This is the famous formula (公式) for success:

Dream＞Believe＞Achieve

Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe). And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired and lose a lot, they say angrily how terrible their life is.

I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formulas:

Dream＞Believe＞Act＞Achieve

For me, act is the most important thing for success, and that’s to take persistent action (Act). If you say “I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.

Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.

8．What should you do when you find your lessons very hard?

A．Ask people for help. B．Try and keep trying.

C．Get ready to create wonders. D．Prepare for a harder one.

9．The underlined word “obstacles” in paragraph 8 most probably means _____.

A．dangers B．difficulties C．imaginations D．wonders

10．Why does the writer use the formula “Dream＞Believe＞Act＞Achieve”?

A．To support his idea. B．To ask readers to explain it.

C．To show what his goals are. D．To discuss the importance of dreams.

11．What is the best title of this passage?

A．Doing something valuable

B．Studying hard and making progress

C．Realizing dreams with persistent action

D．Separating successful people from dreamers

Many of us don’t pay much attention to the importance of eye care. It is said that if you take care of your body, then you can surely be healthy. That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care. Natural eye care should be put in the first place.

There are several causes leading to poor eyesight, like not eating enough food, genes(基因) and aging(老化).

Televisions, computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight. If you happen to work in front of a computer, you’d better take a break every once in a while.

Something dirty can cause redness and it will make you feel uncomfortable, It is bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays.

Eating healthy food will do good to your eyesight. Remember that vitamins A, C and E are good for eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins. And you should do eye exercises because they protect your eyesight, too. If a person exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food, his eyes will stay in good condition for a long time.

All above are natural ways of eye care that help us keep healthy eyes. Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person’s eyesight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no matter how old a person is.

Some Advice on Developing Labor Education in Our School

It's reported that Labor Education will be included in the education of middle schools and primary schools in China. I think it's important. We can learn some life skills and form good habits. Both will help us a lot in the future.

As for how to run the course in our school, I have some ideas. The school can offer classes to teach us how to do the cleaning and grow plants. What's more, the school can set up some clubs, such as cooking club and paper-cutting club. The school can also hold competitions to see who is the best in making cakes. Such activities will make our school life more colorful and meaningful.

I am looking forward to taking the course in the new term. I believe I will do well in it.
