The best time to view the Mona Lisa, according to a new book on the best times to do things, is around nine o'clock on a Sunday morning: most tourists, it seems, don't realise that the Louvre is open then, while plenty of those who do will still be 27 from the wine-fuelled excesses of Saturday night. The best night to eat at a restaurant is a Tuesday: no crowds, but better than a Monday, since many restaurants don't get weekend deliveries, malting Monday's food less 28 . Such is the 29 but strangely compelling life-advice collected within the covers of Buy Ketchup In May And Fly At Noon, by Mark Di Vincenzo, a book that takes literally the cliché that timing is everything. But the 30 of his outlook are universal. If there's a perfect time to ask for a pay rise or a date, or a perfect moment in life to buy a house, have children or switch jobs, then there's hope for us all, ff only we can time things right. Of course, there's no such 31 art of timing that will make everything run smoothly. But one general principle that does 32 from Di Vincenzo's book is this: it pays, in life, to learn when and how to deliberately 33 out of synchronise (同步) with the rest of the world. Sometimes, this is a simple question of 34 the crowds: obviously, that's the reason for holidaying off season, and it's why Di Vincenzo recommends calling customer-service lines the moment they open, when call volume is lowest. But there's more to the matter than 35 avoiding peak times: with a little cunning (技巧), you can desynchronise yourself from the crowd so as to make their 36 behaviour work to your advantage.
