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(adj.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 legs 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.” Her legs and back didn’t hurt anymore.

Today， doctors are learning more about chronobiology(n.生物鐘學(xué))， 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 heat attacks， occur(v.發(fā)生)most often in the morning. This information tells them that the best time to take heart medication may be at night. When patients take heart medication at night， they may prevent a heart attack in the morning.

Many doctors believe chronobiology(生物鐘) can help us live healthier lives. It may be the right time to listen to these doctors!

Everyone has got two personalities (性格) -- the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people change their positions often. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.

If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.

If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You are very stubborn( 頑固的), but you aren’t very ambitious. You usuallylive for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.

If you sleep on curled up ( 卷曲), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt.

If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don’t often get depressed. You always say what you think, even if it annoys people.

A girl riding a bike hit and scratched(刮)a parked expensive car by accident when she was busily looking at a road sign. That poor girl was Zhang Yu, an 18-year-old college student from Yunnan Province. Instead of running away, she decided to wait for the owner of the car. The honest girl wanted to say sorry for the accident.

Zhang Yu was scared when Song Ming, the owner of the car, saw her standing beside his car. Knowing that she had waited in the hot sun for an hour and that she was from a poor family, he was deeply moved. He told her that she didn't need to pay any money for the scratched part of the car. Hearing the words, Zhang Yu bowed(鞠躬)at once and thanked Song Ming sincerely.

The heartwarming moment didn't end there. Li Qiang was the boss of the factory where Song Ming worked. After hearing what had happened, he was also deeply moved. He told the story to his workers and announced, "It is great that Song Ming didn't ask Zhang Yu to pay, and I would like to help her to complete her college education."

During the following three years, Zhang Yu made great efforts to study and took an active part in different activities to develop her abilities with the help of Li Qiang. By the time she left college, she had been an excellent student. Having competed with many others, she got a job at Li Qiang's factory. That excited her most.
