2、 our bodies when its time to go to sleep and when its time to wake up.

6、y did before they left on the trip. By contrast, the body clocks of the group that stayed home shifted even later over the course of the weekend.“This tells us we can reset our clocks fast,”Wright said.Therefore, if you want to change your sleep patterns you could try to increase your exposure to na

And if that doesnt work, theres always camping.本文为说明文。生物钟对人体的影响很大。生物钟如遭到破坏,可能会影响人的健康,如患糖尿病,身体肥胖,心脏病,尤其是影响我们的睡眠。一项新研究称几天的户外露营便可以重启你的生物钟,帮助你改善睡眠。1What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage?ATo explain

By contrast,the body clocks of the group that stayed home shifted even later over the course of the weekend. 周末结束时,研究人员报告说,仅仅两天内,露营者的生物钟就改变了,褪黑激素水平比他们出门旅行前提前了一个多小时开始上升。由此可判断出Wright的团队经过对比两组人群的睡眠表现发现,我们可以在
