【題目】Tang Zhou and his wife are planning to have their second child, a test-tube baby. His wife had a natural delivery when she was 34 and their first child, a boy, is now 7. The couple are now hoping to have a daughter through a surrogate mother in the US. “My wife couldn’t bear another delivery because of her heart condition and her age. Surrogacy helps avoid the risks to older mothers,” Tang said, “Moreover, our second child will be born in the US and become a citizen there. That is not a bad choice.”

The couple spent weeks researching their move, looking for a reliable agency that provides surrogacy services overseas. Surrogacy is still illegal in many countries, including China. “We will be taking much higher risks by relying on a surrogate mother in China because we are not protected by any regulation or law. You pay a lot of money but may meet with many problems,” Tang said. “You might not even get your baby back.”

Tang and his wife are part of an increasing number of Chinese couples who are turning to surrogacy services. Tang also considered surrogacy in Thailand but dropped the idea after recent reports about a baby with Down Syndrome(唐氏綜合癥) who was delivered through surrogacy and said to have been deserted in Thailand by the biological parents from Australia. Instead, Tang chose the California Surrogacy Center agency as his first option after reading the detailed introduction on its website. Compared with many other agencies that he could contact only via e-mail, the center has a consulting office in Beijing, Tang said.

The center is in San Diego, California, and has satellite offices in Los Angeles and Beijing. According to Liu, the center has been operating for more than eight years, and about 100 surrogate mothers live in California.

【1】“A surrogate mother” refers to a mother who _______.

A. acts as a baby-sitter

B. nurses another woman’s baby

C. offers service to a new mother

D. gives birth to a baby for another woman

【2】Which of the following is True according to the passage?

A. Chinese couples prefer to have a test-tube baby.

B. Couples face no risks in surrogacy services.

C. A sick test-tube baby was deserted in Thailand.

D. Unhealthy test-tube babies can be legally abandoned.

【3】Tang and his wife turned to overseas surrogacy services because _______.

A. surrogacy remains illegal in China

B. they call for less money

C. it is more convenient to contact them

D. most of them are experienced

【4】The passage mainly tells us that ________.

A. an old woman can take a risk of delivering a baby

B. more Chinese couples are turning to surrogacy

C. it’s not a bad choice to have a baby born overseas

D. biological couples may fail to get their babies back

【題目】【改編】Our body clock，or natural body rhythm，influences our energy and alertness．Paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of day when we best perform specific tasks．

The reality，however，is that most of us organize their time around work demands，school deadlines，commuting or social events．Doing whatever your body feels like doing is a luxury in today's fast-paced modem society．

But that doesn't mean it isn't worth trying．Obeying our body clock has significant health benefits．Disrupting our natural body rhythm，on the other hand，has been linked to problems such as depression，obesity，or headache，says Steve Key，a biology professor．

When the body clock can synchronize（使……同步）the rhythms of its natural processes，it “gives us an advantage in daily life”，says Key．

According to him，when it comes to cognitive（認(rèn)知的）work，most adults perform best in the late morning．As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the morning and continues to increase until midday，our memory，alertness and concentration gradually improve．

However，he adds，our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter．Most of us are more easily distracted between noon and 4 pm．

Alertness also tends to fall after eating a meal and sleepiness tends to peak around 2 pm，making that a good time for a nap．

Surprisingly, tiredness may increase our creative powers．For most adults，problems that require open ended thinking are often best dealt with in the evening when they are tired， according to a study in the journal Thinking & Reasoning．

When choosing a time of day to exercise，paying attention to your body clock can improve results．Physical performance is usually best from about 3 to 6 pm，says Michael Smolensky，a professor of biomedical engineering．

Of course, not everyone's body clock is the same，making it even harder to synchronize natural rhythms with daily plans．

【1】What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?

A. The benefit of natural body rhythm.

B. A new research about our body clock.

C. Something about natural body rhythm.

D. The definition of natural body rhythm.

【2】What is the meaning of the underlined word “disrupting”?

A. Following. B. Destroying.

C. Noticing. D. Finding.

【3】According to the passage, we can know _____.

A. people don’t know tiredness can increase creative powers.

B. people are most focused at 3 o’clock..

C. natural body rhythm can’ t influences people’s energy.

D. most grown-ups perform best in the early morning

【4】Which of the following is true ?

A. Our memory and concentration improve with the fall of body temperature.

B. A good time for a nap is usually at 1pm.

C. Physical performance is usually best in the morning.

D. Not all people have the same body clock.

【5】The benefit of knowing our natural body rhythm is that_____.

A. we can keep healthy all our life.

B. we can improve our IQ.

C. we can do specific tasks in suitable time.

D. we can do whatever our body wants to.
