Recently Dr. Cleiman has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor (work) through your work, you may say that you are “hot”. That is true, the time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak (頂峰). For some people the peak comes during the forenoon (上午前). For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so.
Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what this energy cycle means and which cycle each member of the family has.
You cannot change your cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. “Habits can help,” Dr. Cleiman believes. If your energy cycle is low in the morning but you have an important job early in the day, rise before your usual hour, and then you will work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a lazy yawn(哈欠) and stretch(伸展). Sit on the edge of bed before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome searching for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.
【小題1】Dr. Cleiman did not explain in the passage ___________.

A.how people can make their life fit their cycle
B.whether everyone has a daily cycle or not
C.why people have their energy cycle at different times
D.what will happen in the family if the couple fail to realize which cycle each member has
【小題2】For what reason may husbands and wives quarrel with each other?
A.Either of them gets up late in the morning.
B.Husbands and wives have different cycles of energy.
C.Either of them wants to change the cycle of the other’s.
D.They do not know which cycle they themselves have.
【小題3】According to the passage, ____________.
A.one works better at one’s peak energy point
B.if you know your cycle you can change it to fit your life.
C.whenever you feel hot, your energy cycle reaches the highest
D.your energy cycle must be in the morning if you can get up early
【小題4】Which of the following can save your energy in the morning?
A.Getting up late.
B.Jumping out of bed as quickly as possible.

D.Sitting for a while before getting out of bed.

New rules will let millions of Americans know where more of their food comes from. The law is known as COOL -- Country of Origin Labeling(標簽).

American congress first passed the law in 2002. Stores have had to label seafood by country of origin since 2005. But industry pressure delayed other requirements until last week.

Products that must now be labeled include fresh fruits and vegetables, muscle meats and some kinds of nuts. But the rules are complex, and many foods are not included. For example, organ meats are free to be labeled. So are processed foods, including cooked or smoked foods.

The same food may sometimes have to be labeled and other times not. Fresh or frozen peas, for example, have to be labeled but not canned peas. Foods that are mixed with other foods are also excluded. Mixed nuts, for example, do not need to be labeled. The same is true of a salad mix that contains different things like lettuce and carrots. Or a fruit cup that combines different fruits. Also, the law doesn’t include restaurants and other food service organizations. Department of Agriculture officials say the law is really meant for larger grocery stores.

The United States has imported more and more food in recent years to save money and expand choices. Country-of-origin labeling has become more common lately but has still been limited in many stores.

Food safety is one reason why some shoppers pay close attention to where foods came from. For example, when a large number of people recently got sick from salmonella(沙門菌病), officials blamed peppers from Mexico. Yet the last big food scare involved spinach grown in California. But labeling is also a way for people to know they are getting what they want. Some want to buy local foods or foods from a particular country.

The country-of-origin labeling law gives stores 30 days to correct any violations(違反) that are found. Stores and suppliers that are found to be deliberately violating the law could be fined 1,000 dollars per violation. Federal inspectors are not to take action to enforce the law for six months to give time for an education campaign.

Some food safety activists say they are generally pleased with the law. They call it a good step that will give people more useful information.

1.Why has more and more food been imported to the United States in recent years?

A. It is economical and provides people with more choices.

B. Foreign food is of higher quality than native food.

C. Americans need more and more food recently.

D. The United States is short of food supply.

2.Consumers are more concerned about where foods come from because________.

A. they are curious about the origin of the food.

B. most of them are particular about the tastes

C. they are concerned about food safety

D. most of them are food safety activists

3.The new rules of the country-of-origin labeling law will come into effect________.

A. right now          B. in a month       C. in three months       D. in half a year

4.Which of the following can be inferred from the text?

A. Store owners are most likely to be the supporters of the law.

B. The government of America will possibly forbid importing peppers from Mexico.

C. Federal inspectors couldn’t take measures to enforce the law.

D. Most Americans prefer imported vegetables to the vegetables grown in local places.

Jessie's Glove

I do a lot of management training each year for the Circle K Corporation, a national chain of convenience stores.      21    the topics we discuss is the retention (保持)of quality employees -- a real challenge to managers when you consider the pay scale (薪水標準)in the service industry. During these discussions, I asked the participants, "What has caused you to stay long enough to become a manager?" Some time back a new   22    took the question and     23      said, "It was a $19 baseball glove."

Cynthia told the group that she    24    took a Circle K clerk job as an interim (過渡時期)position   25      she looked for something   26     .On her second or third day behind the counter, she received a phone call from her nine-year-old son, Jessie. He needed a baseball glove for Little League. She explained that    27     a single mother, money was very    28    , and her first check would    29    go for paying   30    . Perhaps she could buy his baseball glove with her second or third check..

When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning, Patricia, the store manager, asked her to come to the small room in the back of the store that    31    as an office. Cynthia    32    if she had done something wrong or left some part of her job incomplete from the day before. She was concerned and confused.

Patricia handed her a box. "I overheard you talking to your son   33    ," she said, "and I know that it is hard to   34     things to kids. This is a baseball glove for Jessie because he may not understand how    35    he is, even though you have to pay bills    36    you can buy gloves. You know we can't pay good people like you as much as we would like to; but we    37   care, and I want you to know you are important to    38  ."

The thoughtfulness, sympathy and    39  of this convenience store manager demonstrates vividly that people remember more how much an employer  40     than how much the employer pays. An important lesson for the price of a Little League baseball glove.
