10、I am in Nova Scotia on a pilgrimage(朝圣) with Lise, my granddaughter, seeking roots for her, retracing(追溯) _18_ memory for me.

Monday morning lecture, it is no surprise that almost 20 people actually make it to the class and only 10 of them are still awake after the first
18、 15 minutes; it is not even a surprise that most of them are still in their pyjamas(睡衣). Obviously, students are terrible at adjusting their sleep cycles to their daily schedule.All human beings possess a body clock. Along with other alerting(警报) systems, this governs the sleep/wake cycle and is the
19、refore one of the main processes which govern sleep behaviour. Typically, the preferred sleep/wake cycle is delayed in adolescents, which leads to many students not feeling sleepy until much later in the evenings. This typical sleep pattern is usually referred to as the “night owl” schedule of sleep
20、.This is opposed to the “early bird” schedule, and is a kind of disorder where the individual tends to stay up much past midnight. Such a person has great difficulty in waking up in the mornings. Research suggests that night owls feel most alert and function best in the evenings and at night. Resear
21、ch findings have shown that about 20 percent of people can be classified as “night owls” and only 10 percent can be classified as “early birds”the other 70 percent are in the middle. Although this is clearly not true for all students, for the ones who are true night owls this gives them an excellent
22、 excuse for missing their lectures which unfortunately fall before midday.36. What does the author stress in Paragraph 1?A. Many students are absent from class.B.

What does the text mainly talk about?A. Functions of the body clock.B. The “night owl” phenomenon.C. Human beings sleep behaviour.D.
25、The school schedule of “early birds”B(*)Life can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desiresthat little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones.
26、Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and what were seemingly able to have is the ni
27、ggling suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think its easier to just give up. But were never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is usthe real us. Its the part that believes in life and its possibilities. If you drop
28、 that, you begin to feel a little “dead” inside because youre dropping “you”So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck, how do we break these patterns?Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through t
29、odays challenges.While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mindor the minds of those close to ususually says we cant.That isnt a reason to stop, its just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. Its all about
30、starting simple and doing it now.Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release_from_the_jail_of_your_mind and youll be on your way.40.

This old saying is based on the fact that almost everyone runs the risk of developing health and mental c
34、onditions due to stress. According to the National Health Interview Survey, 75% of the population suffer from stress every fortnight. This means you need to get involved in leisure activities at least once a week to get your mind refreshed and stress reduced.With the lack of leisure activities in on
35、es life, the existence of stress also causes various physical conditions like heart problems, high blood pressure and so on. Mentioned below are some key points on how leisure can prove to be good for physical health.Desk jobs that adults do, or the absence of physical activities for children can le
36、ad to obesity(肥胖), which itself is the cause of various health issues. A good way to remove those extra kilos is to spend some fun time in activities like hiking, camping, skiing and swimming.Research shows that people who are more physically active tend to have reduced medical expenses and hospital
37、 stays as compared to a person who is not physically active.Who doesnt want to live a long and healthy life? And it is possible only when one brings about a balance in work and play and focuses on spending some quality time in doing both. A balanced lifestyle is the only key to healthy living.Both m
38、ental and physical health are linked to each other. We have discussed the physical benefits of leisure activities. Let us have a look at the mental health benefits of leisure activities.Most of the people suffering from depression find themselves in this condition due to too much pressure from eithe
39、r work or family conditions. When you allow your mind to relax, there is less chance that you will suffer from mental conditions like anxiety and depression.Many people following a busy timetable in their daily life, and dealing with pressures tend to develop low selfesteem(自尊), which is the first s
40、tep towards getting into depression. With leisure activities giving you a chance to explore the “fun” and “relaxing” aspects of life, you will find an increase in your selfesteem.With all the above benefits of leisure activities, you will finally live life with lots of enthusiasm. Of course, there w
41、ill be work pressures, and family responsibilities, but taking a “break” will surely give you the enthusiasm to live life to the fullest.Title: How People (44) _ from Taking Leisure Activities(45) _Almost all people are likely to develop conditions (46) _ from stress, physically and mentallyAdvice o
