18、ld be on time for my scheduled donation at the local blood center.When I got there, I discovered I wasnt alone.

That little girl died before Karens bone marrow could help her, but Karen was called again recently.

28、urself hitting the snooze button(闹钟延时按钮) every morning, dont blame yourself. Your work schedule could be to blame.Research now shows that, for many of us, our work schedules dont go with our natural body clocksand experts are urging employers to take notice. Sleep is a “strategic resource” that most

29、 companies are ignoring. When work schedules are aligned with peoples natural sleep patterns, they produce higher quality and more innovative work because they are more focused, less stressed and generally healthier. The opposite is also truewhen employees are not getting enough sleep they are more

30、likely to make major mistakes and suffer from workplace injuries.But its not just about the amount of sleep you get. Its important that every organism, from primitive bacteria to human beings, has a biologically determined internal body clock. This determines whether you are a night owl(夜猫子), an ear

31、ly bird or somewhere in the middle. We dont have any choice. “Its like feet,” said Till Roenneberg, a professor of chronobiology(生物钟学). “Some people are born with big feet and some with small feet, but most people are somewhere in the middle.”Many companies start the workday at 8 a.m. or 9 a.m., put

32、ting their work schedules in disagreement with their employees body clock. This mismatch, along with the pressure to be productive and be available to respond to email or take calls at all hours of the day and night, means that many people suffer from what is called “social jet lag”. In other words,

33、 their bodies are always in the wrong time zone. He estimates that more than 70% of people get up earlier than they should. “There is an old saying that sleep is for the weak,” said Olson. But now, “I do feel like there is a shift happening where people realize it doesnt help to have shortened sleep

34、. Sleep is a topic that companies want to hear about.”28.

35、f sleep you get counts much.D.Most people have neither too big nor too small feet.30.Whats the main reason why people suffer from “social jet lag”?A.Because they dont have enough sleep.B.Because they have the great pressure to be productive.C.Because they fail to get along well with others.D.Because

36、 their body clock is inconsistent with the work schedule.31.What is the best title for the passage?A.Body clock and good work habitsB.Late for work? Maybe not your faultC.How to improve your work efficiencyD.Urgent need to change your body clock DPast researches show that peoples earliest memories t

37、ypically form around 3 to 3.5 years of age. But in a recent survey of more than 6,600 people, British scientists have found that 39 percent of participants(参与者)claimed to have memories from age 2 or younger. These first memories are likely false, the researchers said. This was particularly the case

38、for middle-aged and older adults.For the study, researchers asked participants to describe their first memory and the age at which it occurred. Participants were told they had to be sure the memory was the one that had happened. For example, it shouldnt be based on(基于)a photograph, a family story or

39、 any source other than direct experiences. Then the researchers examined the content, language and descriptive details of these earliest memories and worked out the likely reasons why people would claim to have memories from an age when memories cannot form.As many of these memories dated before the

40、 age of 2, this suggests they were not based on actual facts, but facts or knowledge about their babyhood or childhood from photographs or family stories. Often these false memories are fired by a part of an early experience, such as family relationships or feeling sad, the researchers explained.“We

41、 suggest that what a rememberer has in mind when recalling fictional(虚构的)early memories is a mental representation(表现)consisting of remembered pieces of early experiences and some facts or knowledge about their own babyhood or childhood, study author Shania Kantar said in a journal news release, Add

42、itionally, further details may be unconsciously inferred or added. Such memory-like mental representations come over time, to be collectively experienced when they come to mind, so for the individual, they quite simply are memories, which particularly point to babyhood.”Importantly, the person remem

43、bering them doesnt know this is fictional, study co-author Martin Conway said “In fact, when people are told that their memories are false they often dont believe it. ”32.What can we learn from a recent study?A.Memories form after the age of 3.B.Participants are good at telling stories.C.Adults are

44、likely to form false memories.D.Earliest memories may play a trick on us.33.Which source did the researchers require for the earliest memories?A.A direct experience. B.A family story. C.A family photo. D.A sad feeling.34.What are these fictional early memories according to Kantar?A.They are repeated

45、 mental representations.B.They are a collection of early experiences.C.They are a combination of both facts and fictions.D.They are further details of remembered experiences.35.Which part of a newspaper is this text probably taken from?A.Society.B.Psychology.C.Technology.D.Health.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分1

48、nds a little about what they wrote. However, it only makes you worry about the answers you cant change. It is also a bad idea because your brain does not perform well under stressful conditions. You will be unable to think clearly right after a stressful exam. 38 Get some exercise to relax.You might

56、 sadness Van Gogh was feeling as he was painting, 54 what he was actually seeing.This is why Van Goghs 55 in his painting look more imaginative than reality.
