Energy Cycle
Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful?This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation.He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you are"hot".That's true.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at this 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 words as:"Get up, John!You'll be late for work again!"The possible explanation to the trouble is he is at his tempera-ture-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean,and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can't change your energy cycle,but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help,Dr. Kleitman believes.Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway.Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to.If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day,rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle,but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start,which saves your energy.Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.Whenever possible,do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours.
According to the passage,many family quarrels are resulted from awareness of different energy cycles.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

    More About Alzheimer' s Disease
    Scientists have developed skin tests that may be used in the future to identify people with Alzheimer's
    disease and may ultimately allow physicians to predict who is at risk of getting this neurological
    (神经病学的)disorder.
    The only current means of diagnosing the disease in a living patient is a long and expensive series of
    tests that eliminate every other cause of dementia.
    "Since Alois Alzheimer described the disease nearly a century ago,people have been trying to find a
    way to accurately diagnose it in its early stages,"said Patricia Grady,acting director of the National Institute
    of Neurological Disorders and Stroke in Bethesda,Maryland."This discovery,if confirmed,could prove a big
    step forward in our efforts to deal with and understand the disease."
    Alzheimer's is the single greatest cause of mental deterioration in older people,affecting between 2.5
    million and 4 million people in the United States alone.The devastating disorder gradually destroys memory and
    the ability to function,and eventually causes death. There is currently no known treatment for the disease.
    Researchers discovered that the skin cells of Alzheimer's patients have defects that interfere with their
    ability to regulate the flow of potassium in and out of the cells.The fact that the cell defects are present in the
    skin suggests that Alzheimer's results from physiological changes throughout the body,and that dementia may
    be the first noticeable effect of these changes as the defects affect the cells in the brain,scientists said.
    The flow of potassium is especially critical in cells responsible for memory formation.The scientists also
    found two other defects that affect the cells' supply of calcium,another critical element.
    One test developed by researches calls for growing skin cells in a laboratory culture and then testing
    them with an electrical detector to determine if the microscopic tunnels that govern the flow of potassium are
    open.Open potassium channels create a unique electrical signature.
    A spokesman for the Alzheimer's Association said that if the validity of the diagnostic test can be
    proven it would be an important development,but he cautioned that other promising tests for Alzheimer's
    have been disappointing.
    The newly developed skin tests may be used in the future to allow doctors to________.
    A:cure those with Alzheimer's disease
    B:discover the cause of Alzheimer's disease
    C:predict who might get Alzheimer's disease
    D:find the consequences of Alzheimer's disease

    Exercise and Brain
    Just as exercise strengthens the heart and lungs,bones and muscles,it may also power up the brain.A succession of scientific studies of animals implies that physical activity has a positive effect on mental functioning.
    "It's clear that the brain benefits from exercise,"says brain scientist William Greenough of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.His studies with rats have demonstrated two primary effects of activity:Vigorous physical exercise provides the brain with more fuel,and skill-based ex-ercise increases the formation of connections in the brain, which, according to the proposals of some scientists,may make the brain better able to process information.
    In one experiment,laboratory rats were separated into three groups.One group was exercised by running inside an automatic wheel,a second group improved their skills in a complicated obstacle course,and a third group was inactive.
    "The animals that learned to go through the obstacle course exhibited a greater number of brain connections than the animals in the exercised or inactive groups,"Greenough said."In contrast, the animals that exercised inside the automatic wheel possessed a greater density of blood vessels in the brain than did either of the other two groups of animals."
    Learning a new dance step may boost the brain in the same way that learning a language can, he says.And if the dance is a good physical exercise as well,the benefits multiply.Young brains may be especially able to boost brain power through exercise,suggested another of Greenough's experiments that showed the most significant changes in the brain occurred among rats that had been exercised when very young.And while animals aren't people,he says it is logical to make the inference that an effect found in rats may also apply to humans.
    Human studies have focused primarily on older adults and suggest that regular exercise can improve the speed with which the brain processes information.Measurements made by Arthur Kramer at the University of Illinois demonstrated that inactive adults,aged 63 to 82,could hit buttons faster in response to a tone after they went through a 10-week water exercise course.A corresponding control group that didn't exercise showed no improvement.
    Which statement is correct according to the passage?
    A:The effect of exercises found in rats can not apply to people.
    B:Changes in the brain occurred among young rats are more significant than those among adult rats.
    C:Regular exercise can only improve the speed with which the older adults' brain processes information.
    D:The author encourages people do more skill-based exercise instead of vigorous physical exercise.
