30、he best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that its 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
31、hours when you labor through your work may say that you are 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 has discovered
32、why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues 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 quarreling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles
33、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 your cycle to some extent by habituall
34、y staying up later than you want to. ff 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 and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start which saves your energy: get up
35、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 or concentration

40、nge the energy cycle, but they can adapt themselves to it （ D） Dr. Kleitman can explain why people feel most energetic at different time in a day 35 Intellectual property rights are the rights given to persons over the creations of their minds. They usually give the creator an exclusive fight over t
41、he use of his/her creation for a certain period of time. Intellectual property rights are customarily divided into two main areas: Copyright and rights related to copyright. The rights of authors literary and artistic works (such as books and other writings, musical compositions, paintings, sculptur
42、e, computer programs and films) are protected by copyright, for a minimum period of 50 years after the death of the author. Also protected through copyright and related ( sometimes referred to as “neighboring“ ) rights are the rights of performers ( e. g. actors, singers, and musicians ), producers
43、of phonograms (sound recordings ) and broadcasting organizations. The main social purpose of protection of copyright and related rights is to encourage and reward creative work. Industrial property can usefully divided into two main areas: one area can be characterized as the protection of distincti
44、ve signs, in particular trademarks (which distinguish the goods or services of one undertaking from those of other undertakings) and geographical indications ( which identify a good as originating in a place where a given characteristic of the good is essentially attributable to its geographical ori
45、gin). The protection of such distinctive signs aims to stimulate and ensure fair competition and to protect consumers, by enabling them to make informed choices between various goods and services. The protection may last indefinitely, provided the sign in question continues to be distinctive. Other
46、types of industrial property are protected primarily to stimulate innovation, design and the creation of technology. In this category fall inventions (protected by patents ), industrial designs and trade secrets. The social purpose is to provide protection for the results of investment in the develo
47、pment of new technology, thus giving the incentive and means to finance research and development activities. A functioning intellectual property regime should also facilitate the transfer of technology in the form of foreign direct investment, joint ventures and licensing. The protection is usually
48、given for a finite term ( typically 20 years in the case of patterns). While the basic social objectives of intellectual property protection are as outlined above, it should also be noted that the exclusive fights given are generally subject to a number of limitations and exceptions, aimed at fine-s
49、tunning the balance that has to be found between the legitimate interests of right holder and of users. 36 This passage is mainly concerned with _. （ A） the definition and classification of intellectual property fights （ B） the difference between copyrights and industrial property （ C） the reasons for protecting intellectual property rights （ D） the social objectives of intellectual property righ
