I was often laughed at my classmates before I turned 14 because I was always very nervous when talking to someone. Helpful and sad, I felt that I could hardly do nothing. You cannot imagine what great difficulty I have in my life. And later, something happened, what changed my life completely. It was an English speech contest and my mother encouraged me to take part in it. I tried my best to remember the whole speech “Believe in yourself” and practised them over 100 times. Believe it or not, I finally won the first prize. Heard the cheers from the teachers and students, I stood there, with my eyes full with excited tear.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you think about your circle of friends and family members, you can certainly pick out one or more people who are not good listeners. 1. If you’re fortunate, that person is a good friend, a loved one or a teacher.
All too often, we associate the benefits of good listening skills with achieving very specific outcomes, like following the boss’s orders (aimed at getting a job promotion).
2. We think of them as something basic, which we mastered in our formal schooling, along with dictation and obeying instructions, etc. This is a shame. We should know listening skills are the focus of lifetime learning and development, related to our communication skills.
3. All of these occur because two people or groups don’t listen to each other. We don’t analyze the root problem, or work on improvement steps.
We still tend to treat listening skills the way we treat learning to walk: we think that once we’ve acquired them, we’ve got them. We are ready to move on to the next thing. Wrong. 4.
Poor listening skills often damage effective dialogue between people. 5. If we were able to reduce misunderstandings in our conversations by 20-30%, there would be benefits in efficiency and the elimination (消除) of tiresome repetition.
A. However, think about the upside potential.
B. We’re surrounded by this kind of outcome.
C. We tend to undervalue the importance of our listening skills.
D. Think about the number of failures, misunderstandings and arguments.
E. Equally you can think of someone you know who is a very good listener.
F. The challenge of listening is determining when the speaker wants a response or advice.
G. The problem is that people and language are far more complex than the roads we travel on.
Our body clock, or natural body rhythm, influences our energy and alertness. Paying attention to it can help us choose the suitable time of the day when we best perform specific tasks.
The reality, however, is that most of us organize the time around work demands, school deadlines, commuting or social events. Doing whatever the body feels like doing is a luxury in today’s fast-paced modern 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 (认知的) 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 (分心) 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 the 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.If we know our natural body rhythm well, we can ______.
A. find out the suitable time to do specific tasks
B. organize our time around work demands
C. do whatever our body feels like doing
D. be sure to be healthy
2.Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Our alertness is influenced by our natural body rhythm.
B. Doing whatever your body feels like is very difficult in our modern society.
C. Obeying our body clock is good for our health.
D. Disrupting our natural body rhythm must lead to obesity.
3.Inspiration (灵感) to solve a difficult problem will most probably come to us
______.
A. when we get up in the morning
B. when we are tired in the evening
C. when we are full of energy in the late morning
D. when we are asleep at night
4.Which of the following can be the suitable title for the passage?
A. What is natural body rhythm?
B. Natural body rhythm is good for us.
C. Something about natural body rhythm.
D. The latest research about natural body rhythm.
