They like to go to sleep about the same time every day and for a certain length of time. They seem to have a natural clock inside them that tells them when to sleep. Cats increase their regular sleep with occasional cat naps(打盹). Some experts feel that humans could also benefit from this habit. Cat naps help to build up energy in the body. They are also a good way to get rid of trouble! Since cats have the same moods as humans, some experts believe that people can improve their moods. People might become happier.A number of famous people have copied cats by taking cat naps during the day. The naps would usually last from 15 to 30 minutes. Winston Churchill took cat naps.

Im not going to say luck, talent, and Circumstances(境遇)dont Come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are Born with great intelligence, and thats just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then make it more practical. And, vesides that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10, 000 hours studying and practising. To vecome great at certain things, itll require even more time, which most people wont put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you dont enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you give up before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there. Its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were Born with some unusual talent, But thinking that way does you no good, and theres a huge Chance that youre wrong anyway.No matter what you do, if you want to Become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction(入迷), and over a long period of time. If youre not willing to put in the time and work, dont expect to receive any rewards. Hard work wont guarantee(保证)you the level of success you may want, But it will guarantee that you will Become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.（1）Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _.

Is this a coincidence（巧合）, or is there some science behind this? Would you like to know more about how the weather can affect how you feel?According to a recent study, there is a connection between weather and moods. Going to a warm place in the middle of winter can make our moods better. Pleasant weather has been proved to improve moods and memory. However, extremely hot weather can actually make us feel more tired and bored, spoiling our moods.In the study, people who spent time outdoors in warm weather were happier than those who spent all day inside.The best temperature for humans is about 22.2. That explains why people in southern California are happy all the time. To improve his or her moods, a person must spend at least 30 minutes outside in warm, sunny weather. Spending time indoors when the weather outside is so nice tends to lower moods.Maybe just the activities connected with being outside affect our moods. Warm weather is connected with the beach, fun outdoor sports and so on. It brings back childhood memories of playing outside all day. Who doesnt love that?Of course, we can wake up every day and decide how we will feel that day. If its rainy, that wont necessarily make us unhappy. Well just have to bring our umbrellas out and cheer up those who are feeling sad!（1）According to the study, we may feel on extremely hot days. A . happierB . more boredC . more excitedD . more pleased（2）Warm weather can help improve our moods and according to the passage.
