一、阅读理解

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's 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 hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're "hot". That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your 成人学历 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 why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: "Get up, John! You'll 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 mean, and which cycle each member of the family including their kid has.

You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle 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 won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.

Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn (呵欠) 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 for your sharper hours.

1.If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably______.

A.he is a lazy person

B.he is not sure when his energy is low

C.he refuses to follow his own energy cycle

D.he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening

3.If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should______.

A.get to bed earlier

B.get up earlier than usual

C.overcome his laziness

D.change his energy cycle

4.You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______.

A.help to keep your energy for the day's work

B.keep your energy cycle under control all day

C.enable you to concentrate on your routine work

D.help you to control your temper early in the day

5.Which of the following statement is NOT true?

A.Children have energy cycles, too.

B.Habit may help a person adapt to his own energy cycle.

C.Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.

D.Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one's energy.

Hollywood no longer rules South Korean cinema, which is breaking out all over. Since 1999 Seoul filmmakers have been turning out Asia’s first critically applauded films, and “My Wife Is a Gangster” and “Phone”are the most stunningly good examples. In the way Americans tour Hollywood, Asians visit Korea to see sites featured in their favorite movies.

Korea once looked to America for idea, but now the reverse is true. Hollywood is snapping up remake rights to dozens of Korean films. Madonna’s Maverick Films is remaking the horror film “Phone”. And DreamWorks recently bought the rights to another horror film “A Tale of Two Sisters.”To capitalize on all the attention, South Korea has moved aggressively to cast itself as the center of Asia’s film market.

The Seoul government and industry leaders are working to rank the Pusan Film Festival as Cannes（戛纳）East, the festivals where deals get done, a one-stop place where moviemakers can shop for financing, exports, even location. In preparation for the next Pusan Festival 国家开放大学 this fall, delegations from Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan and all over Asia have been flocking to Seoul to study the Korean film revival. “We look at Korea with an envious eye,”says one of Hong Kong moviemakers, “Filmmakers and audiences have found a real vibes (i.e. good atmosphere) between them, like in the 1970s and ’80s in Hong Kong.”

The Korean film industry, however, is still uphill struggle on the way. The annual receipts of Korean films ($580 million) are gaining on those of Asia’s largest film industry: India ($820 million) and Japan ($1.93 billion). Yet, Seoul financial markets still tend to see movies as cultural venture, rather than a business. As a moviemaking company in Korea, yet KangJeGyu Films had to team up with another filmmaker and an auto-manufacturer in a new company in order to win a listing on the stock market last year.

Despite the restriction, Korean films are capturing a rising share of the local and even Asian markets. The lesson of the Korean revival is that money should be invested both into films and into comprehensive theaters that can sustain a film culture.
