21、Does getting up at the crack of dawn really hold the key to success? 【1】 Here are five things I learned:
1. You suddenly have time to exercise.
As someone who always prioritizes her social life over her fitness, I'd for a long time told myself I didn't have time for exercise. It turns out that when you get up four hours before you have to be at work, there's so much time to fill. 【2】
2. You'll feel smug.
Exercising in my living room at 6 am, whilst not only my flatmates but the majority of people everywhere were still asleep, felt kind of awesome. I spent my mornings curling my hair, painting my nails and doing smoky eye make-up and was always greeted by lovely comments. 【3】
3. You're hungrier all day.
One of the nicer parts of getting up earlier was having the time to cook myself nice breakfasts at home. But being awake longer and eating breakfast earlier seemed to mean I was hungrier all day long.
4. 【4】
On an average day when I'd be getting up at my usual time of 7:15 am, I'd go to bed around midnight. But if I had to get up at 5 am, there was no way I could stay up that late.
5. You'll be more efficient at work.
Incredibly, I actually achieved more at work than usual and was surprisingly productive. I genuinely felt energized throughout most of the working day all week long. 【5】 Perhaps being productive in the morning before you get to work does in fact make you more productive for the rest of the day.
A.It's easy to get tired.
B.I was more focused too.
C.You'd be silly not to get moving.
D.I will find it hard to get up earlier.
E.I decided to try it and set my alarm for 5 am for a week.
F.You have to cut short your social plans in the evening.
G.My poor colleagues have had to go back to my regular look now.

23、Our bachelor uncle lived with us, who loved hunting and fishing; and it was one of the pleasures of our young life to go fishing with him.
I remember my first fishing experience as if it happened yesterday. I was very excited when I received that first fishing pole from my uncle's hand, and went fishing with him. It was a still, sweet day of early summer; the leaves seemed greener, the flowers brighter, the birds merrier, than ever before.
My uncle considerately placed me at the most favorable point. I threw out my line as I had so often seen others, and waited anxiously for a bite, moving the bait (鱼饵) in rapid movement on the surface of the water just like the jumps of a frog. Nothing came of it. "Try again," said my uncle. Suddenly the bait sank out of sight. "Now for it," thought I, "here is a fish at last."
I made a strong pull, and brought up a tangle of weeds. Again and again I cast out my line with aching arms, and drew it back empty. "Try once more," he said, "we fishermen must have patience to catch a fish." "But remember, boy," he said, with his big smile, "never say you've caught a fish until it is on dry ground. It's no use showing off anything until it's done."
How often since I have been reminded of the fish that I did not catch! When I hear people boasting of a work as yet undone, I will remember the wise caution of my uncle in that particular instance takes the form of a proverb of universal application: "NEVER BOAST (吹嘘) OF YOUR FISH BEFORE YOU CATCH HIM."
【1】From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2, we can infer that_____________.
A.the leaves and the flowers were not so beautiful before.
B.the birds ate lots of fish and felt far merrier than before.
C.that day the author was much happier than ever before.
D.that day the uncle was much happier than ever before.
【2】What message can we learn from the last two paragraphs?
A.Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.
B.Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
C.One false step will make a great difference.
D.True friends have hearts that beat as one.
【3】Which of the following can best describe the author’s uncle?
A.Strong and brave.
B.Wise and patient.
C.Patient and strong.
D.Lazy and talkative.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.A sweet day of summer
B.My first fishing pole
C.The way to catch a fish
D.The fish I didn’t catch
