单选题 .  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 labor through your 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. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. 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!" The 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 your 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 and work better at your low point.
    Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn (呵欠) and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.1.  If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ______.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】 推理判断题
   第二段中倒数第二句说到“The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at this temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. ”因此正确答案为D。

   你发现早上起床很难很痛苦吗?这可能会被称为懒惰,但克莱特曼博士对此有了一个新的解释。他已证明每个人都有一个日常能量循环周期。
   在你工作期间,你也许会说你很“热”,这是事实。一天中你觉得最有活力的时候正是你的体温周期正处于顶峰的时候。有些人的高峰期出现在上午,有些人的在下午或晚上。没有人发现为什么会这样,但是它会导致一些熟悉的话语,如:“起床,约翰!你上班又该迟到了!”对这一事件的可能解释是约翰的能量高峰期在晚上。当夫妻们明白了能量周期是怎么回事并且知道了每个家庭成员的循环周期时,很多家庭就不会再吵架了。
   你不能改变你的能量循环周期,但是你可以学着使自己的生活更加适应它。克莱特曼博士相信,习惯可以帮助你去适应。可能在晚上你感到很瞌睡但是又必须要熬夜。这时,你可以通过习惯性地比你预想的时间晚点入睡来在某种程度上减少循环周期的干扰。如果你的能量循环周期在早晨处于较低值,但这时你又有一个重要的工作要去做,你应该比平时早起一些。这不仅不会改变你的循环周期,反而会使你精神振作,在周期低点的时候工作得更好。
   早上慢慢起床可以节省能量。起床时悠闲地打个哈欠,伸伸懒腰。在下床之前先在床沿上坐一分钟。为了避免麻烦地寻找干净的衣服,在前一天晚上就把干净的衣服拿出来放好。只要有可能就应该把例行的工作放在下午去做,把需要更多精力或注意力的工作留在你思维敏捷的时候去做。
