They tell us when to get up or when we’re running late for work and whether we are in danger of missing our favourite TV programme. But while our daily routines rely on clocks that tell us the time, science is discovering that our well-being is influenced by a very different kind of timepiece. Circadian rhythms---the human body’s own internal clock---have a powerful influence on our health and behaviour. They are programmed from birth and control functions ranging from temperature and blood pressure to sleep patterns.

In recent years researchers have also discovered that this built-in mechanism can influence everything from the way we react to medicines to how well we learn music.

The latest example, from experts at Harvard University in the US, shows that the human body clock can even dictate whether or not we are likely to tell the truth. Researchers found it was easier for people to fib（撒小谎） in the afternoon because, as they were tired, the self control that would normally prevent them from lying started to break down. Tiredness made it harder to resist the temptation to tell lies---especially if it meant they got a financial reward at the end.

“The body clock has a great effect on us all,” says Professor Jim Horne from the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University. “Most people tend to feel good around late morning and then decline in the early afternoon. But the time most of us will feel our sharpest is between 6pm and 8pm. That’s because sleepiness tends to build up throughout the day. By early evening our body clock kicks in to wake us up. One reason may be to ensure we get home safely. When our ancestors were coming home after hunting all day their internal clocks kicked in to get them home in one piece.”

So what effects do circadian rhythms have and what’s the best time of day to take advantage of them?

1.The underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refers to　　　　　　　 .

A. our clocks                B. scientists and experts

C. our daily routines        D. circadian rhythms

2.The research referred to in Paragraph 3 found that people tend to　　　　　　　 .

A. tell lies when they are tired

B. tell lies if they are rewarded

C. lose temper as they become tired

D. break down because they are tired

3. According to the passage, when are people most quick-thinking?

A. In the morning.                B. Around midday.

C. In the late afternoon.        D. In the early evening.

4.What information will the writer probably present following the last paragraph?

A. Some practical suggestions to prevent people from lying.

B. Examples of how the human body clocks control the body.

C. Examples of the most suitable time to do different activities.

D. An explanation of how the human body clock controls the body.

5. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Rebuild your body clock            B. Timing is everything

C. Sleep more, lie less                D. Your time is limited

When we go out traveling,we need either a map or GPS to point us in the right direction.But bumblebees（大黄蜂）have neither of these things,yet they still know the best route.Why is that?

It turns out that these hard-working little bees try many possible passages before picking out the best one and remembering it the next time they journey out.They learn from“trial and error”,according to a study by scientists from the University of London.

We use it all the time in our daily lives—trial and error is a helpful problem-solving method.It is the basic concept of“learning from your mistakes”.Most of the time,we fail on our first try,so we analyze the failure,make adjustments and try again.After repeating this a few times,we finally get things right.

This might sound a bit tiring,but it’s certainly effective and it works for bumblebees.

In the study,scientists set up five artificial flowers in a field.Each one of them was fitted with motion-triggered（运动触发的）cameras and had landing platforms with drops of sugar in the middle to attract the bees.

At first,scientists noticed the bees’ flying routes were long and complex.But after they gained enough experience,they gradually got to their destination quicker.Every time a bee tried a new route that was shorter than the route it had tried before,it was likely to use it again.Otherwise the new route would simply be given up and another one was tested.

“The speed at which they learn through trial and error is quite extraordinary for bumblebees,as this complex behavior was thought to be one that only larger-brained animals have,”Professor Lars Chittka,leader of the study,told Sciencedaily.com.

In fact,the smart bumblebees don’t try every possible route.Normally,they would only try about 20 out of the 120 possible routes to visit the flowers.

More interestingly,scientists found that if they removed a flower,bees would continue looking at that location,even if it has been empty for a long time.“It seems bees don’t easily forget a fruitful flower,”Chittka said.

1.The bumblebees are good at finding the best route because ________.

A. they have relatively smaller brains

B. their body parts function like GPS

C. they try out different routes and remember the best ones

D. they take the trouble of testing every possible route

2.The author explains the bumblebees’ behavior of trial and error by ________.

A. using numbers　　 B. making a metaphor（比喻）

C. making comparisons　　 D. talking about human behavior

3.The study led by professor Lars Chittka suggests that ________.

A. bumblebees try to keep their flying routes long and complex

B. every new route the bumblebees take is shorter than the one they take before

C. bumblebees are familiar with every flying route they have taken before

D. scientists find it unbelievable that bumblebees learn from their mistakes so quickly

4.What is the main point of the article?

A. Bumblebees are as smart as large-brained animals.

B. Trial and error is an effective way to solve our daily problems.

C. A new discovery about how bumblebees find the best routes through trial and error.

D. How bumblebees remember the best routes,small as their brains are.
