25、We spend a lot of time sleeping at night and being active during the day. This is our second nature. That’s because we’re under the control of the body clocks inside nearly every cell. Also, our mood, strength, hormone levels, body temperature, metabolism and even the risk of a heart attack are all changing all the time every day. Our body clocks, however, are not controlled by cogs (齿轮) and pendulums. Instead, it’s the gene activity over 24 hours that keeps our body’s time. Jeffrey Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael Young from the USA found these genes.

Dr. Michael Hastings, a circadian rhythm (昼夜节律) scientist in Cambridge, said more attention should be paid to this discovery.

Nobody now doubts the importance of our body clocks. Ask someone who doesn’t have a good habit of resting and working what goes wrong with his body clock.

Those who always live in this way may take the risk of having a lot of diseases, from cancer to diabetes, but understanding how the body’s clock works is also unlocking new ideas, like taking medicines at the time of day when they will have the biggest influence on the body.

【1】The following are changing every day EXCEPT ________.

A．our feelings

B．our body temperature

C．our hormone levels

D．our second nature

【2】The real clock which differs from the body clock is usually controlled by ________.

A．the gene activity

B．cogs and pendulums

C．some new ideas

D．cells of our body

【3】The underlined word “diabetes” in the last paragraph probably means “________” in Chinese?

A．荷尔蒙

B．新陈代谢

C．糖尿病

D．癌细胞

【4】What’s the main idea of this passage?

A．Discovering the secret of body clock.

B．Improving the condition of body clock.

C．Avoiding the risk of body clock.

D．Comparing the body clock with the real clock.

28、Because of different reasons, I could neither go abroad nor attend a language course to improve my English．So, I finally d   to read books in English．I chose Irving’s novel A widow for One Year．

What was my experience like? Very challenging（有挑战性的）! At the b   , I tried to stop thinking in Chinese about what I was reading．I just kept reading i of looking up the new words in the dictionary．At first it seemed to be i to read and understand without using a dictionary, but then I began to get the meaning s   ．Finally, I was so interested in the wonderful characters and the surprising plot of the novel t   I completely forgot that I was reading the book in English.

R   this novel was very good for my English learning．I found that Irving’s way of writing was very clear and easy to reaD． This made me feel really satisfied and encouraged me to read m   other books (not only by Irving)．I discovered that when you read a book in English you will stop thinking in your mother tongue at some point．It’s just as if you were there, inside the story, among the characters who speak English in the book.

Reading Irving’s novel also enabled me to learn a large n     of new words and expressions used in different contexts．It is really a good w to improve our English.
