Body clocks are biological (生物學(xué)的) methods of controlling body activities. Every living thing has one. In humans, a body clock controls normal periods of sleeping and waking. It controls the times when you are most likely to feel pain. Eating, sleeping and exercising at about the same time each day will help keep body activities normal. But changes in your life---a new job, for example---destroy the balance and thus cause health problems. You could have difficult sleeping, for example. Scientists suggest that early afternoon is the best time of day for physical exercise. They say we are stronger and faster then. Later, about four o'clock, most people feel tired because of the drop of sugar level in the blood. Early afternoon also is a good time to do tasks involving (和有關(guān)) memory and mathematics. If you must study, however, do it just before going to sleep at night. Scientists say you are more likely to remember information when there is a short delay between study and bed. Body clocks control all the activities from day to day. They also produce changes about every ninety minutes during the day. At the end of such a time period, our ability to think hard begins to weaken. That is the time we are most likely to daydream. Within fifteen minutes, we are ready to go back to what we were doing.
1. According to the passage, ___.
A. one can help maintain balance in the body clock
B. scientists have worked out body clock methods to control body activities
C. body activities are under the control of an unseen force
D. the human body is always in balance

4. The author suggests that the best time to study is ___.
A. at night B. late afternoon

Is there a place for a modeling agency(介紹所) that specializes in models who look ordinary, or even ugly? Jill Searle knows there is because she has been running the UGLY model agency in London since 1969.
Her idea was to provide models who looked like real people. In the world of fashion modeling, ordinary people look out of place. They're not slim and beautiful with perfect skin and teeth; they're too short, too tall, too far, too thin, or, they just look a bit dull. But according to Jill Searle, there is plenty of other modeling work outside the fashion world. She has some very unusual-looking people on her books, but it is the ordinary-looking people who are in demand by advertisers.
The strange thing is that ugly women are so much in demand, whereas ugly men seem to be more acceptable. When we began we signed up all sorts of strange-looking females, but we found they couldn't get any work in advertising. If a TV commercial needs a woman with broken teeth, they prefer to make her look ugly with make-up- society does not seem to like the real thing and advertising agencies appear to feel that ugly women are just too risky.
The whole world is affected by Hollywood's ideas of physical beauty, but even in the land of Californian sun-bleached blondes(金發(fā)女郎) and well-oiled, muscle-bound Rembos there is an agency offering models that look like real people.
All we want to do is offer a range of(系列的) physical types- there is work for most of them.
6. According to Jill Searle, ______.
A.ugly models are real
B.all models should be ordinary-looking
C.models of various types are needed
D.it's too risky to use unusual-looking models
7. Model agencies like UGLY can be found ______.
A.everywhere in the world
B.only in Great Britain
C.in the States as well as in England
D.in fashion modeling world
8. Advertising agencies prefer ______.
A.hiring ugly women if necessary
B.strange-looking people
C.using make-up to change models' look
D.hiring ugly men if necessary
9. What is the proper title for this article?

The greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman's life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances(家用電器)and convenience foods.
This important change in women's way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position. Even a few yars ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interest of each of them.
10. According to the passage, around the year 1900 most women married ______.
A.at about twenty-five
B.in their early fifties
C.as soon as possible after they were fifteen
D.at any age from fifteen to forty-five
11. We are told that in an average family about 1900 ______.
A.many children died before they were five
B.the youngest child would be fifteen
C.seven or eight children lived to be more than five
D.four or five children died when they were five
12. When she was over fifty, the late 19th century mother ______.
A.would expect to work until she died
B.was usually expected to die fairly soon
C.would be healthy enough to take up paid employment
D.was unlikely to find a job even if she wanted one
13. Many girls, the passage says, are now likely to ______.
A.marry so that they can get a job
B.leave school as soon as they can
C.give up their jobs for good after they are married
D.continue working until they are going to have a baby
14. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to ______.
A.stay at home after leaving school
B.marry men younger than themselves

If you dream of going someplace warm to escape the cold winter weather, a trip to a recently discovered planet would certainly warm you right up. The planet, named OGLE-TR-56b, has temperatures of more than 3, 000F. This is the hottest planet we know about, says Dr. Dimitar Sasselov, a scientist who led the discovery team. It is hot enough to have an iron fog and to rain hot iron droplets(細(xì)沫).
The new planet is 30 times farther away than any planet discovered by scientists before. It is in the Milky Way(銀河)but it is not in our solar(太陽(yáng)的)system. The new planet moves around a star much like our sun, however. Scientists discovered the planet by using a new planet-searching method, called transit technique. They were able to catch sight of the planet when it moved in front of its star, causing the star's light to dim(變暗). Scientists compare the method to discovering the shadow of a bee flying in front of a searchlight 200 miles away. We believe the door has been opened wide to go and discover planets like Earth, says Sasselov.
15. We can infer from the passage that _____.
A. there is iron on the new planet
B. we could go to the new planet in winter
C. the star could block our view of the new planet
D. scientists are studying the weather on the new planet
16. The transit technique can _____.
A. help him the light of a star
B. help scientists with a searchlight
C. help discover a bee on a planet
D. help find a planet moving before its star
17. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. New Planet-searching Technique.

Tristan da Cunha, a 38-square-mile island is the farthest inhabited island in the world , according to the Guinness Book of Records . It is 1,510 miles southwest of its nearest neighbor, St.Helena, and 1,950 miles west of Africa . Discovered by the Portuguese admiral (葡萄牙海軍上將) of the same name in 1506 , and settled in 1810 , the island belongs to Great Britain and has a population of a few hundred .
Coming in a close second - and often wrongly mentioned as the most distant land - is Easter Island , which lies 1,260 miles east of its nearest neighbor , Pitcairn Island , and 2,300 miles west of South America .
The mountainous 64-squarc-mile island was settled around the 5th century, supposedly by people who were lost at sea. They had no connection with the outside world for more than a thousand years , giving them plenty of time to build more than 1,000 huge stone figures , called moai , for which the island is most famous .
On Easter Sunday , 1722 , however , settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name . Today , 2,000 people live on the Chilean territory (智利領(lǐng)土) . They share one street, a small airport, and a few hours of television per day .
18. It can be learned from the text that the island of Tristan da Cunha ________.
A. was named after its discoverer
