went to bed before midnight, and i would always get up late the next morning. but after a while i couldnt ignore the high relationship between success and rising early. on those rare occasions where i did get up early, i noticed that my productivity (效率) was always higher. so i set out to become a habitual early riser. but whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep. eventually some sleep research showed that my strategy was wrong. the most common wrong strategy is this: supposing youre going to get up earlier, youd better go to bed earlier. it sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail. there are two main schools (流派) of thought on sleep patterns. one is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day. the second school says you should go to bed when youre tired and get up when you naturally wake up. however, i have found both are wrong if you care about productivity. if you sleep at fixed hours, youll sometimes go to bed when you arent sleepy enough. youre wasting time lying in bed awake. my solution is to combine both methods. i go to bed when im sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time. so i always get up at the same time (in my case 5 a.m.), but i go to bed at different times every night.however, going to bed only when im sleepy, and getting up at a fixed time every morning are my ways. if you want to become an early riser, you can try your own.61. according to the passage, the underlined phrase refers to _. a. people who stay up until the next morning b. people who get up early in the morning c. people who feel sleepy in the morning d. people whose productivity is the lowest in the morning62. why did the author want to become a habitual early riser? a. because he / she found that the productivity was higher. b. because he / she wanted to do morning exercise.c. because he / she wanted to test which school is better.d. because he / she wanted to have more sleep time.63. the author experienced all the following except _. a. going to bed after midnight b. asking scholars for advice on sleeping habitsc. getting up early occasionally d. pressing off the alarm to go on sleeping64. whats the authors sleep pattern?a. going to bed early and getting up early.b. going to bed late and getting up late.c. going to bed when sleepy and getting up at a fixed early time.d. going to bed early and getting up late. 65. the passage is mainly about _. a. main schools of thought on sleep patterns b. how to have a good sleep c. wrong strategies for getting up early d. how to become an early riserc heres one number to keep in mind during your next cell phone conversation: 50. a new experiment shows that spending 50 minutes with an active phone pressed up to the ear increases activity in the brain. this brain activity probably doesnt make you smarter. when cell phones are on, they emit (发出) energy in the form of radiation that could be harmful, especially after years of cell phone usage. scientists dont know yet whether cell phones are bad for the brain. studies like this one are attempting to find it out. the 47 participants in the experiment may have looked a little strange. each one had two samsung cell phones attached to his or her head one on each ear. the phone on the left ear was off. the phone on the right ear played a message for 50 minutes, but the participants couldnt hear it because the sound was off. with this set-up, the scientists could be sure they were studying brain activity from the phone itself, and not brain activity due to listening and talking during a conversation. after 50 minutes with two phones strapped to their heads, the participants were given pet scans. the pet scan showed that the left side (the side with the phone turned off) of each participants brain hadnt changed during the experiment. the right side of the brain, however, had used more glucose, which is a type of sugar that provides fuel to brain cells. these right-side brain cells were using almost as much glucose as the brain uses when a person is talking. this suggests that the brain cells there were active even without the person hearing anything. that activity, the scientists say, was probably caused by radiatio
