According to him, when it comes to cognitive (认知的) work, most adults perform best in the late morning. As our body temperature starts to rise just before awakening in the
35、morning and continues to increase until midday, our memory, alertness and concentration gradually improve. However, he adds, our ability to concentrate typically starts to decrease soon thereafter. Most of us are more easily distracted (分心) between noon and 4 pm. Alertness also tends to fall after e

42、good listeners. 36 If youre fortunate, that person is a good friend, a loved one or a teacher. All too often, we associate the benefits of good listening skills with achieving very specific outcomes, like following the bosss orders (aimed at getting a job promotion).37 We think of them as something
