You can’t change your energy cycle，_________（但是你可以学着让生活更好地适应它)．

these torrents of passion flowing through you. Your job, as captain of your soul, is to erect dams to keep these passions in check. Your job is to just say no to laziness, temptation, greed, drug use and the other sins. Praying could really help. They could help you identify sin. Preachers could persuade you to exercise the willpower you need to guard against temptation. These days that model is out of fashion. You usually cant change your behavior. by simply resolving to do something. If that were true, New Years resolutions would actually work. Your willpower is not like a dam that can block the torrent of self-indulgence. Its more like a muscle, which tires easily. People can change their lives, but ordering change is not simple because many things, even within ourselves, are beyond our direct control.

you dont have enough money, its because bad habits kept you from taking action. If you are not as fit as you would like to be, its because of bad habits that kept you glued to the couch. Would you like to change that？ The only thing that separates successes from failures is successful habits. But developing good habits is easier said than done. We find it hard to build good habits because we spend every day floating down the river of life with no oars(桨). So what should we do？ Henry Ford said it best, " Whether you think you can, or you think you cant, youre right." Belief is the root of change. The strongest force in human behavior. is the need to act in line with our self-identity or our belief of who we are. To change a habit, you must believe that you can actually do it. Often our habits are so conditioned into our being that we move through those patterns without any thought or consciousness as to what we are doing. Interrupting the old patterns creates a space for new ones. A few ways to interrupt your pattern are to shock yourself or say something funny that makes you laugh or interrupt it through some physical action. One woman put a can of dog food next to her fridge to interrupt her pattern every time she reached out for some junk food. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. The goal is to get you out of a preprogrammed way of being by engaging in a behavior. that shocks you, so as to change your state and help you move into another pattern.

A．result from poor living conditions

B．are difficult to get rid of

C．result in your dissatisfaction in life

D．push you to take unnecessary actions

However,【B4】______of critical thinking in students is one of the goals of most colleges and universities. Few professors require students to share their own beliefs. In general, professors are more【B5】______that students learn to question and【B6】______examine the arguments of others. This does not mean that professors【B7】______that you change your beliefs, either. It does mean, however, professors will usually ask you to【B8】______the views you express in class or in your writing.

Most professors want you to recognise the premises of your argument, to examine whether you really accept them, and to understand whether or not you draw logical conclusions.

On the other hand, if you intend to【B10】______your professors in class, you should be prepared to offer a strong argument in support of your ideas.

ations and self-directed teams becoming common; with personal computers and networks making information available to more people more quickly; the raw number of managers needed is decreasing. However, the need for good managers, people who can manage themselves and Others in a high-stress environment, is increasing.

B I believe anyone can be a good manager. It is as much trainable skill as it is inherent ability; as much science as art. You have confidence in yourself and your abilities. You are happy with who you are, but you are still learning and getting better. You are something of an extrovert. You dont have to be the life of the party, hut you cant be a wallflower. Management is a people skill--its not the job for someone who doesnt enjoy people.

C You are honest and straightforward. Your success depends heavily on the trust of others. You are an includer not an excluder. You bring others into what you do. You dont exclude other because they lack certain attributes. You have a presence. Managers must lead. Effective leaders have a quality about them that makes people notice when they enter a room.

D You are consistent, but not rigid; dependable, but can change your mind. You make decisions, but easily accept input from others. You are a little bit crazy. You think out-of-the box. You try new things and if they fail, you admit the mistake, but dont apologize for having tried. You are not afraid to "do the math". You make plans and schedules and work toward them.

d laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that youre "hot". Thats true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语)as: " Get up, John! Youll be late for work again!" The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract(对抗)your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your cycle, but youll get up steam(鼓起干劲)and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble some search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. When ever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage？

A．Unawareness of energy cycles.

B．Familiar monologues.

C．A change in a family member"s energy cycle.

D．Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family member.
