Tim Cook gets up at 3 :45 a.m. Pepsi CEO Indra Nooyi gets up at 4:00 a.m. Disney CEO BobIger gets up at 4:30 a.m. Jack Dorsey sleeps in until 5:30 a.m. So does Sir Richard...It seems successful people wake up early. Well, at least some of them do.
As Adam Grand says , “ The world's most successful people aren't worried about what time others wake up. They wake and work to the schedule(日程安排) that works for them.”
Science agrees. Studies show most early birds are born to be early birds ,and most night owls( 夜猫子) are naturally night owls.
Look at people’s sleep-wake cycles.On average(平均),our body clocks run on a 24.2-hour cycle. But some people have body clocks that run longer than 24.2 hours, which means over time they naturally fall asleep later and get up later.These people are called night owls. Oppositely. Those whose body clocks run shorter than 24.2 hours are early birds.
While studies show that early birds are probably more persistent( 坚持的). self-directed and are better planners,night owls perform better in tests on memory and are more creative.
So stop trying to be an early bird or a night owl.Just be who you are. Successful people who are early birds aren't successful as a result of waking up early. They're successful because their body clocks back their schedules.So they can easily work better than others.
When you start working doesn't matter.What matters is what you get done within the hours at work. Success is all about what you achieve, not the time of day you do it.

Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey.How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.
A certain kind of ants,for example,can count their steps to avoid getting lost.They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home.These ants live in the open desert(沙漠),so they have nothing to guide them along the way.It's like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest.
Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell.They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area.Some sea birds have a similar ability.They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.
Some animals can sense the earth's magnetic field (磁场),while humans can't.This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back.How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery.Scientists have no good answers yet.However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities.For example,many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night.To solve this problem,we can simply turn off some lights at night.Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals.
( )31. Where is this passage most probably from?
A. A storybook. B. An art magazine.
C. A guidebook. D. A science magazine.
( )32. How can a certain kind of ants find their way?

How to Improve Your Reading
Learning how to read well in English might not be an easy task.36.______Reading well in English is useful for many reasons, not only for taking tests. If you want to improve your reading in English, the following are just for you!
Choose right reading materials(材料).
There are so many choices! There are textbooks and graded readers,but there are also a lot more books you can read. 37.______Here is a good rule to follow: choose reading materials where you understand at least80%of the content(内容).
Be intentional(意图明确的).
Being intentional means doing something on purpose with a reason in mind. With reading, you need to be intentional by setting a reading aim.Decide on a certain number of pages you want to read each day.38.______To make sure your daily practice gets done, spare some time and put it in your study plan!
39.______
Reading can both introduce you to new vocabulary(词汇)and teach you how to use them. Many words in English are often used together in a consistent(相互连贯的)way. Reading groups of words,or words that go together, will help you better understand how to use your new vocabulary.
Don't try to understand everything.
As you're practicing your reading, you need to accept the fact that you might not understand every single word, and that's OK! Your brain can't learn so many new things at one time. It's more important to get the big picture of what you are reading. 40.______
根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填人文中空缺处的最佳选项,使短文意思通顺,内容完整。
(
A. Read word groups.
B. Don't choose a book that is too easy or too difficult.
C. You could also be intentional with planning a time to read.
D. But it's something you'll have to do on your language learning journey.

later.
