23、resident A. Johnsons Secretary of State (国务卿) ,Seward bought Alaska from the Russians at a cost of 7.2 million. The buying of the huge northern land mass seemed at first something foolishly done. Not only was Alaska difficult to reach, but it was also hard to live in, and it appeared to have no impo

24、rtance in time of war. Besides, there are volcanoes there as Alaska lies on the Pacific “ring of fire“ (火山带). In Alaska large treeless areas are covered with snow all the year. For these reasons the buying of Alaska was called “Sewards Fooly“ at that time.However, in 1896 gold was found in Alaska, a

25、nd people poured into the land quickly. Since then other important natural resources were discovered, including oil. Soon people changed their thinking about “Sewards Fooly“ .

This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.Du

29、ring the hours when you labour through your work you may say that youre “hot“ . Thats true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one

30、has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: “Get up, John ! Youll be late for work again !“ The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize w

31、hat these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle

32、 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 wont change your cycle, but youll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow star

33、t 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 trouble some search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. When ever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks req

34、uiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.33 Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?（A）Unawareness of energy cycles.（B） Familiar monologues.（C） A change in a family members energy cycle.（D）Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family memb

36、ork（B） help you to control your temper early in the day（C） enable you to concentrate on your routine work（D）keep your energy cycle under control all day36 Which of the following statements is NOT true?（A）Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save ones energy.（B） Dr. Kleitman explains why p

37、eople reach their peak at different hours of day.（C） Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.（D）Children have energy cycles, too.36 Many people want to know how to analyze problems they meet. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.First the person must recognize that there is a probl

38、em. For example, Sams bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the thinker must define the problem.

39、 if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions.

40、ng with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop.After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put o

41、il on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam,

42、for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he h
