18、egular basis or in the case of department stores or chain stores, a team of buyers may travel around visiting suppliers. Keeping sales people “on the road“ is much more expensive than employing them to work in the office and much of their time is spent unproductively traveling. Telephone selling may
19、 use this time more productively, but a【 B9】 _is much more effective. Companies involved in the export trade often have a separate export sales force, whose travel and【 B10】 _may be very high. Servicing overseas customers may consequently often be done by phone, telex or letter and personal visits m

27、over the hills of Californias Silicon Valley, Charles Winget opens his eyes. It is barely 5 a.m., but Winget is raring(渴望 )to go. Meanwhile, his wife pulls up the covers and buries her face under the pillow. “For the past fifteen years,“ says Winget, “Weve hardly ever gotten up together.“ BThe Winge
28、ts situation is not uncommon. Our bodies operate with the complexity of clocks, and like clocks, we all run at slightly different speeds. Winget is a morning person. His wife is not at her best until after nightfall. CBehavioral scientists long attributed such differences to personal eccentricities
29、or early conditioning. This thinking was challenged in the late 1950s by a theory labeled chronobiology by physician-biologist Franz Halberg. In a Harvard University laboratory, Dr. Halberg found that certain blood cells varied predictably in number, depending on the time of day they were drawn from
30、 the body. The cell count was higher at a given time of day and lower 12 hours later. He also discovered that the same patterns could be detected in heart and metabolic rates and body temperature. DHalbergs explanation: instead of performing at a steady, unchanging rate, our systems function on an a
31、pproximately 25-hour cycle. Sometimes we are accelerating, sometimes slowing down. We achieve peak efficiency for only a limited time each day. Halberg dubbed these bodily cadences “circadian rhythms“. EMuch of the leading work in chronobiology is sponsored today by the National Aeronautics and Spac
32、e Administration. Charles Winget, a NASA research physiologist and authority on circadian rhythms, says that circadian principles have been applied to astronauts work schedules on most of the space-shuttle flights. FThe space-age research has many useful applications here on earth. Chronobiologists
33、can tell you when to eat and still lose weight, what time of day youre best equipped to handle the toughest challenges, when to go to the dentist with your highest threshold of pain and when to exercise for maximum effect. Says Winget, “Its a biological law of human efficiency: to achieve your best
34、with the least effort, you have to coordinate the demands of your activities with your biological capacities.“ How to Figure Out Your Bodys Patterns GCircadian patterns can be made to work for you. But you must first learn how to recognize them. Winget and his associates have developed the following
35、 approach to help you figure out your bodys patterns. HTake your temperature one hour after getting up in the morning and then again at four-hour intervals throughout the day. Schedule your last reading as close to bedtime as possible. You should have five readings by the end of the day. INow add yo
36、ur first, third and fifth readings and record this total. Then add your second and fourth readings and subtract this figure from the first total. That number will be an estimate of your body temperature in the middle of the night consider it your sixth reading. JNow plot all six readings on graph pa
37、per. The variations may seem minuscule(极小的 ) only one-tenth of a degree in some cases but they are significant. Youll probably find that your temperature will begin to rise between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m., reaching a peak sometime in the late morning or early afternoon. By evening the readings start to dr
38、op. They will steadily decline, reaching their nadir(最低点 )at around 2 a.m. Learn to Use Your Bodys Pattern KOf course, individual variations make all the difference. At what hour is your body temperature on the rise? When does it reach its highest point? Its lowest? Once you have familiarized yourse
39、lf with you patterns, you can take advantage of chronobiology techniques to improve your health and productivity. LWe do our best physical work when our rhythms are at their peak. In most people, this peak lasts about four hours. Schedule your most taxing(费力的 )activities when your temperature is hig
40、hest. MFor mental activities, the timetable is more complicated. Precision tasks, such as mathematical work are best tackled when your temperature is on the rise. For most people, this is at 8 or 9 a.m. By contrast reading and reflection are better pursued between 2 and 4 p.m., the time when body te
41、mperature usually begins to fall. NBreakfast should be your largest meal of the day for effective dieting. Calories burn faster one hour after we wake up than they do in the evening. During a six-year research project known as the Army Diet Study, Dr. Halberg, chronobiologist Robert Sothern and rese
42、arch associate Erna Halberg monitored the food intake of two groups of men and women. Both ate only one 2000-calorie meal a day, but one group ate their meal at breakfast and the other at dinner. “All the subjects lost weight eating breakfast,“ states Sothern. Those who ate dinner either maintained
43、or gained weight.“ OIf foods are processed differently at different times of day, certainly caffeine, alcohol and medicines will be too. Aspirin compounds, for example, have the greatest potency(力量 )in the morning, between 7 and 8.(So does alcohol.)They are least effective between 6 p.m. and midnigh
44、t. Caffeine has the most impact around 3 in the afternoon. Charles Walker, dean of the College of Pharmacy at Florida A but they have always laughed in the same way. “ A sense of humor may take various forms and laughter may be anything from refined tinkle(清脆的声响 )to an earth quaking roar, but the ef
45、fect is always the same. Humor helps us to maintain a correct sense of values. It is the one quality which political fanatics(狂热者 )appear to lack. If we can see the funny side, we never make the mistake of taking ourselves too seriously. We are always reminded that tragedy is not really far removed
46、from comedy, so we never get one-sided view of things. This is one of the chief functions of satire(讽刺 )and irony. Human pain and suffering are so grim; we hover so often on the brink of war; political realities are usually enough to plunge us into total despair. In such circumstances, cartoons and
47、satirical accounts of serious political events redress the balance. They take the wind out of arrogant politicians who have lost their sense of proportion. They enable us to see that many of our most profound actions are merely comic or absurd. We laugh when a great satirist like Swift writes about
48、war in Gullivers Travels. The Lilliputians and their neighbors attack each other because they cant agree which end to break an egg. We laugh because we are meant to laugh; but we are meant to weep too. The sense of humor must be singled out as mans most important quality because it is associated wit
49、h laughter. And laughter, in turn, is associated with happiness. Courage, determination, initiative these are qualities we share with other forms of life. But the sense of humor is uniquely human. If happiness is one of the great goals of life, then it is the sense of humor that provides the key. 62 We can learn from the first paragraph that laughter_. （ A） can resolve peoples opposition to each oth
