Most of us use alarm clocks to wake up at the right time for school or work. We look at our watches to know the right time for the bus or train. However, there is also a right time to eat, sleep, exercise, and take medicine. We can’t look at a clock for the right time for these activities. We must listen to the clock inside our bodies: the biological clock.
Barbara Wells exercised every morning. She woke up at 6:00 a.m. She ran about two miles before she went to work. But Barbara’s legs and back started to hurt. She did some exercise before she ran. But her legs and back still hurt. She ran slower, but the pain didn’t stop. Barbara talked to her doctor. The doctor said, “Don’t run in the morning. Try to exercise later in the day. That is the time when your body is at the right temperature for exercise after work.” Her legs and back didn’t hurt anymore.
Today, doctors are learning more about chronobiology(n.生物钟学), the study of biological(adj.生物的) clocks. They are learning about the importance of time for our bodies. For example, it is best for people to go to sleep on time every night and to eat only when they’re hungry. Also, doctors discovered that some illnesses, such as heat attacks, occur(v.发生)most often in the morning. This information tells them that the best time to take heart medication may be at night. When patients take heart medication(n.药物)at night, they may prevent a heart attack in the morning.
Many doctors believe chronobiology(生物钟) can help us live healthier lives. It may be the right time to listen to these doctors!

A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible(有责任的) for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial(财务的) problem but also a question of the systerm we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible ways to this problem.
First, employers(雇主) should take the responsibility for their retired(退休的) employees. To make this possible, 1% of profits(利润) should be left for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial(商业的) disadvantage because of higher employee costs.
Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual(个人). This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people find that it’s difficult for them to pay for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.
In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of elderly. The government could provide more money through government taxes to increase the level of pensions(养老金). What’s more, some institutions(社会福利机构) should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unluckily, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly practical answer. The government doesn’t have enough money to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.
One further solution is that the government or social organizations set up some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.
In short, all these measures have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, we are expecting to combine(结合) these measures so that we can provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
Title | The elderly should be __1.__ more care of. |
Topic | Who should be __2._ to improve the lives of the elderly? |
__3.__ to the problem | ★__4.__ should give 1% of profits to their employees, but this may cause a commercial __5._. |
★Some individuals should save during his working years to pay for The years when he is retired, but the others have _6.__ paying for their daily life. | |
★More 7._could be provided through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. However, when the government is busy trying to look after the young, it can hardly _8._ to care for the elderly. | |
★Workplaces for the elderly should be __9._ by the government or social organizations. | |
Conclusion | We are expecting to combine(结合) these measures in __10.__ to provide the care for the elderly. |
