C、getupearlierthanusual

D、gotobedearlier

【正确答案】C

【答案解析】本题要求读者找出本段中的最后两句，并联系本段开头两句的意思,

作出正确判断。木段开头说，“虽然你无法改变自己的能量周期，但你可以使你

的生活适合这一周期。Dr.Kleitman认为经常性的行为（对你的能量周期）能起作

用。”最后两句又说,"...risebeforeyourusualhour...workbetteratyourlow

point.〃（〃如果你在上午处于能量的低潮，但你有重要的工作要在上午做，那么

你就要比平时早起。这并不改变你的周期，但你可以在低潮时得到能量，工作得

述了汤姆和某一个女孩相亲的精力，对他的个人魅力以及是否受女孩欢迎并未提

及。
