浙江省台州市书生中学2016-2017学年八年级下学期英语期中考试试卷
We have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day. Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at special times. It is not as simple as we might think, as new experiments(实验) have shown. In one experiment, flowers were kept in darkness. We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of the day, did not open as they usually do. In fact, they continued to open at their usual time. This shows that they have some mysterious (神秘的) way of knowing the time.
Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of “inner clock”. This discovery may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just plants but also animals including man have this “inner clock”which controls(控制) working of their bodies and their activities.
Human beings, then, are also controlled by this mysterious power. Whether we wish it or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food. And our ability to concentrate(集中).
Yes | No | |
Do you easily get angry? | ||
Do you often sleep badly? | ||
Do you get headaches a lot? | ||
Do you take sleeping pills? | ||
Do you find it difficult to relax? | ||
Do you usually hide your feelings? | ||
Do you smoke and drink a lot to keep quiet? | ||
Do you find it difficult to put your heart into something? |
If you answer "Yes" to more than two of these questions, you are one of those people with stress. So what can you do about it?
Doing relaxing exercises, talking with friends and listening to light music are all usual ways of relieving(减轻) stress. However, doctors now say that there are easier ways—people should laugh and smile more often. When you laugh and smile, your body relaxes. They also say that people, especially men, should cry more often, because crying is the natural way of relieving stress.
