Different people will have different motives the

32、 desire for promotion, the hope of being able to study abroad, curiosity about a very different culture, and pure intellectual enjoyment is only one of possible motives.

53、led laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has 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 yourcycle of body temperature is at i

54、ts peak. 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 （独白）as: " Get up, John! You will be late for work again! ” The possible explanation to the trouble is that

55、John is at his temperature and energy peak in the evening.

Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feeton the floor.Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out thenight before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and takes requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.76. What is Dr. Kleitman ' s new explanation?It
