What time of day do you feel most alert (清醒的)? Are you more of a morning person? Or does your brain need a few hours to get going? A lot of research suggests that we should pay attention to our body clock. It can tell us what time of day we are best able to perform, according to the Wall Street Journal (华尔街日报).

When it comes to the human brain, many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body’s temperature takes time to rise through the day. Taking a warm shower when you wake up can help speed this up.

But everyone’s body clock is different. Morning people will rise early and work better early in the day. Evening people will wake later but their brain will work better toward the end of the day.

Research shows that we’re better at some activities at certain times of the day. Physical performance is at its best between 3 pm and 6 pm, so it s better to exercise later in the day.

Between noon and 4 pm, people begin to get distracted. This is partly because our brain becomes less alert after we eat a big meal. Research also shows that we become sleepy around 2 pm.

Finally, it is best to eat during our active periods. This allows our body to burn calories better and stops our blood sugar levels from getting too high.

1.Many people perform best later in the morning because ________.

A.they can’t get up very early

B.thcy have to take a shower first

C.the body’s temperature needs time to rise

2.Evening people had better ________.

A.rise late and work in the morning

B.wake later and work in the evening

For years I have noticed that one common characteristic (特征) that successful people have is curiosity (好奇心). Why is curiosity important? Because it provides you with a fresh perspective (视角) and fresh ideas, Curious people can see things that many other people can’t. So how can you develop curiosity? Here are some tips that you can follow.

Expect things to be fun.

Instead of expecting things to be boring, expect then to be fun. This small change in your thinking can make a big difference. Once you do it, it will be much easier for you to find the fun side of almost everything. And also, more doors of chances will be open for you.

Always have questions in your mind.

Whenever you deal with a topic, have questions in your mind. Find the answers and ask new questions. Questions keep your mind busy. They can change your learning process from being borng to being interesting.

Take on a new challenge.

By taking on a new challenge, you will want to prove to yourself (or perhaps to others) that you can make it. One good way to do that is to create a competition with your friends to find out who can do something faster or better.

Connect new things with what you’ve already known.

Things will be more exciting if you can connect what you’re learning with what you’ve already know. Why? Because that improves your understanding of the world and allows you to see new things that you haven’t noticed before.

Add variety (多样性) to your life.

Find new possibilities by stepping into new topics. Read books in new fields. Meet people from all walks of life.

All the advice above can be summarized (概括) in just one phrase make things fun.

What should you do if there’s an earthquake at school? How can you protect yourself when you are caught in a stampede(踩踏)? 三月二十五日给了我们一个学习有关安全的好机会。

This day is called the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and middle School students(全国中小学生安全教育日). The purpose of the day is to give us more knowledge about safety.

Staying calm is the first and most important rule when facing accidents, but different accidents have different self-protection tips.

A stampede is possible anywhere. If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hand. Lean to one side, curl up (卷起) your body and bend (弯曲) your legs.

Earthquakes are common. When you feel the ground shake, drop down, take cover under a desk and hold on. If you are outdoors, find a place away from buildings, trees, and power lines.

When there’s a fire, follow the teachers’ instructions, leave the classroom quickly and use a piece of cloth to cover your moth and nos.

Sports injuries (伤害) may happen while doing sports. Before playing sports,·you should warm up for 15 to 30 minutes.

What do other countries do to keep students safe?

Japan Earthquake Drills (演习)

At public schools in Japan, earthquake drills are held once a month. They teach students safety tips during an earthquake. Regular training helps students escape from earthquake-stricken areas without causing any stampedes.

Australia First-aid (急救) Courses

Most students in Australia take first -aid courses at school. They learn basic first-aid knowledge in the class, such as how to call an ambulance (救护车) and what to do when someone is hurt. The government is trying to make all kids take such courses.

US The Fire Escape

Most US school buildings have fire escapes (火灾逃生口). A fire escape has platforms with stairs and ladders at each floor of a building. Thery are usually made of steel and built outside the building. People can get to the fire escape through a fire exit door or a window. It is not a good idea to jump out of window from higher than two floors. It may hurt yourself.
