WHAT time of day do you feel most clear-headed? Are you more of a morning person? Or does it take you a few hours to get your brain going? A lot of recent studies show that we should pay attention to our body clock. It can tell us at what time of day we are a1.to perform best, says the report.
When it comes to the human brain (大脑), many people work best later in the morning. This is because the body’s temperature takes time to rise through the day. Taking a warm shower when you w2.up can help speed this up.
But everyone’s body clock is different and some have special patterns (模式). Morning people will get up early and work better early in the day. E3.people will get up later but their brain work better towards the end of the day.
Studies show that we are better at some activities at certain times of the day. Physical performance is at its best b4.3 p.m. and 6 p.m, so it’s better to exercise later in the day.
F5., it is best to eat during our active periods. This allows our body to burn calories better and stop our blood sugar levels (血糖水平) from getting too high.

Dear Disney,
Last weekend, the four members of my family spent a wonderful holiday at the magic Kingdom—Disneyland. And one event made our visit seem truly magical.
We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn’t take her ice-cream on the ride We were so excited that we all forgot ice-cream was not allowed on the ride.
Gloria broke into tears and we all had no idea what to do. Then Murphy, one of the staff (员工) members, came over. She bent down and told Gloria that she would hold the ice-cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said, “Promise?” Then she gave Murphy her ice-cream, and she completely enjoyed the ride. Sure enough, as we walked out the exit, there was Gloria’s new friend with “her” ice-cream. Now you and I both know what happened, because we know that an ice-cream won’t last twenty minutes on a summer afternoon in Florida. Murphy knew what time we would get off the ride; she went to the nearest shop and bought a brand-new ice-cream thirty seconds before we walked out of the exit. Gloria said, “Thank you,” but I’m sure she thought it was the same ice-cream.
We know that someone tried hard to make our visit special. Thanks so much for going above and beyond!
Your fan,
Carmen Rivera
