30、ther 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 bodys own internal clock-have a powerful influen
31、ce 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
32、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 wo
33、uld 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 Loughboro
34、ugh 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. Thats because sleepiness tends to build up throughout the day. By early evening our body clock kicks in to wake us up. On
35、e 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 whats the best time of day to take advantage of them?56. The underlined word “They” in

Countless men and women died without ever having the courage to follow their own pathsMaybe because they were afraid to violate some kinds of social norms, maybe because they were afraid to be alone,or maybe simply because they preferred to settle for the familiarThey went to the
41、graves,with a song that would never be heard,a piece of poetry never be written, a dance step never be initiated and a heart full of dreams and aspirations,leaving behind a life full of potential yet no legacy Michael Jordan,one of the greatest athletes once said: “I can fail,but I cannot afford not

49、hat you can get a lot by treating your customers with respect and by giving them great service, they will start talking. It is one of the quickest ways to gain new customers.

51、re benefiting from it.Make sure that you are doing something that makes you different from your competitors; this is a key factor. If you can be creative with a new idea, youll be the one that everyone is talking about. The more everyone talks about you, the more they are going to see what you are a
52、ll about and the more you are going to benefit.A different way that you can benefit from this method of promotion is by encouraging other people to speak about your company and service you offer. You can offer them incentives(激励) for talking about your business, and you can offer them small prizes f
53、or doing so. Mostly, things like this are great ways to make sure that people are speaking highly of your company. The best way to encourage this method of advertising is to ensure that people know about your company, and that they have a chance to speak about. Remember you can get a negative reputa
54、tion as well, and if that happens, the word of mouth advertising that is done can actually harm you.
