Most of us use alarm clocks to wake up at the right time for school or work. We look at our watches to know the right time for the bus or train. However, there is also a right time to eat, sleep, exercise, and take medicine. We can’t look at a clock for the right time for these activities. We must listen to the clock inside our bodies：the biological(生物的) clock.
Barbara Wells exercised every morning. She woke up at 6：00 a. m. She ran about two miles before she went to work. But Barbara’s 1egs and back started to hurt. She did some exercise before she ran. But her legs and back still hurt. She ran slower, but the pain didn’t stop. Barbara talked to her doctor. The doctor said, “Don’t run in the morning. Try to exercise later in the day. That is the time when your body is at the right temperature for exercise after work after. "Her legs and back didn’t hurt anymore.
Today, doctors are learning more about chronobiology(生物钟学),the study of biological clocks. They are learning about the importance of time for our bodies. For example, it is best for people to go to sleep on time every night and to eat only when they’re hungry. Also, doctors discovered that some illnesses, such as heart attacks, occur(发生) most often in the morning. This information tells them that the best time to take heart medication(药物) may be at night. When patients take heart medication at night, they may prevent a heart attack in the morning.
Many doctors believe chronobiology can help us live healthier lives. It may be the right time to listen to these doctors !

About one in every seven Chinese people plays the game, and 55 million of them play it every day. The game is easy for beginners. Social media like QQ and WeChat have also helped the game's community grow.

Chinese buyers used to prize foreign brands, thinking that products made by American or European companies are of higher quality than Chinese ones. Increasingly, that's no longer the case.
Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign brands are better than Chinese ones, billionaire William Li told Business Insider during a recent interview on CCTV 9.But for those who were born after 1985,it is a different picture.
"When I first went to the United Kingdom in1997,I thought that the difference between China and Europe was quite big," Li said. "But for those born in the 1990s, when they visit Europe or the US, they do not think there is a big difference."
The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China where western companies used to control. A study by Credit Suisse published in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a "home brand bias".
More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance brands, according to the study. Meanwhile, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products increased their share of the market by 3. 3% over the last ten years to nearly 70%.
"Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don't just believe that foreign brands are better. Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and ‘Made in China’ is not bad at all," Charlie Chen, head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March.
The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies-Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five, but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years. Its market share is believed to be down to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%.

It was December and the snow was falling quietly outside. The four March sisters were sitting around the fire in the living room. They were knitting(织)socks for soldiers(士兵).There was a war and everyone had to help.
Meg was the oldest of the four sisters. She was sixteen. She was very pretty and she loved pretty clothes. Jo was fifteen. She was very tall and thin. She was different from Meg. She didn't care about dresses or hairstyles. She was a tomboy(假小子).Beth was thirteen. She was very shy and quiet and she seemed to live in a happy world of her own. The youngest, Amy, looked like a snow princess with her blue eyes. She loved beautiful things and she was a little vain(虚荣的)?She also thought that she was a very important person.
"Christmas isn't Christmas without any presents," Jo said sadly. "I hate being poor!" Meg said, looking at her old dress.
"Some girls have lots of nice things, and other girls have nothing at all," said Amy. "I don't think it's fair!"
"But we've got Father and Mother, and each other," said Beth.
The four sisters looked happy for a moment when they remembered this.
"But we haven't got Father," said Jo. Their smiles suddenly disappeared. Mr March was far away with the soldiers.
"Mother says our men are suffering(受苦)and we mustn't spend money for pleasure," Meg said."That's why we can't have presents this year."
"Well, each of us has a dollar to spend," said Jo. "What can the army do with four dollars?
Nothing! I don't expect anything from Mother but I'd like to buy a book for myself !" Jo loved reading.
"I want to spend mine on some new music," said Beth. She played the piano and she loved singing.
"I'm going to buy a box of drawing pencils. I really need them!" said Amy. She wanted to be an artist.
"Mother didn't say anything about spending our own money," cried Jo. "We work hard for it so let's buy what we want and have a little fun."
It was true. The two older sisters had jobs. Meg worked as a teacher for the King family and Jo looked after Aunt March, their father's rich, bad-tempered(坏脾气的)old aunt. Beth and Amy helped with the housework.
