Most of us use alarm clocks or mobile phones 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 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 any more.
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 right and to eat only when they're hungry.Also,doctors discovered that some illnesses,such as heart attacks, occur (v. 发生) 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 can help us live healthier lives. It may be the right time to listen to these doctors!

Dear Nancy's parents,
My daughter had a bullying (欺凌) problem a couple of years ago. It wasn't easy,but I ended it.When things are a serious as you describe, it is no time to be silent. These kids probably know each other from school, so take the rude text messages sent by the bully directly to the headmaster and show him Describe to him bow it is affecting your 13﹣year﹣ old daughter.Tell him you will not stand it and you want him to put an end to it now.
Bullying is a dangerous and serious offensethese days,and any good headmaster will take your charges seriously. He will probably address the issues with the parents. If they are crappy parents, then they may do nothing to their child. You may have to repeat this process several times, but you need to keep a check on those text messages and don't allow your child to delete them.
Now is the time to draw your child close and take care of her, because she needs it. My daughter did not like me being involved(参与的)either, but you are the only hope she has of solving this problem, so do it and mean business.Always be polite but straightforward.The headmaster and the parents must know you mean business.
If repeated meetings with the headmaster (and parents, if he allows it) does not solve the problem, then I would consider hiring a lawyer. That will send the message across loud and clear.When you are talking about financial loss, most parents will stand up and take notice and act to keep their kid under control!
Good luck ﹣ I wish you the best in this terrible situation.
Yours,
Rachel

Today, the world's diversity(多样性) of food crops is quickly decreasing. But scientists around the world are taking action. They are building seed banks. At seed banks, scientists store the seeds of many different crops.
There are now 1,400 seed banks around the world. However, some banks are in warm countries. If the electricity fails, the seeds will get too hot and die.Other seed banks are in countries troubled by war.Sometimes people damage the seed banks. If this happens, valuable seeds can be lost forever!
The organization Global Crop Diversity Trust decided they wanted to deal with this problem.So, they decided to build a global seed bank. This seed bank would contain a back﹣up, or extra copy,of all the world's seeds. Smaller seed banks would still collect and keep local seeds.But they would also send copies of their seeds to the global bank.
Scientists from the Global Crop Diversity Trust chose the cold,snowy mountains of Svalbard,Norway to build the global seed bank ﹣ the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. Organizations, farmers, or local seed banks store their extra seeds there. And the people who place their seeds in the vault are the only people who can take them out. They pay to ship their seeds to Norway, but it does not cost them any money to store their seeds. The Global Crop Diversity Trust pays for this.
Cary Flower is a scientist who heads the Global Crop Diversity Trust. He said, "If the Seed Vault simply supplies seed banks with copies of sees that those banks lost by accident, the Seed Vault will be worth way more than it cost."

How has technology made your life easier? When you go to a shopping mall, you can enjoy free Wi﹣Fi there. When you want to take a taxi, you can book one with your phone. In fact, all of these things can be seen in a smart city.
The idea of a smart city was first suggested by tech company IBM in 2010.Generally,a smart city is a city that uses digital technology, such as 5G network and the"internet of things", to save money and energy, and make our lives more convenient.
Cities like Boston, Amsterdam and Copenbagen are already using smart technology to improve public services. In the US cities of Boston and Baltimore, smart dust bins can sense( 感知) how full they are and tell workers when they need to be cleaned.In Amsterdam,traffic is monitored and changed according to real﹣time data collected from sensors around the city. There are fewer traffic jams.
Smart cities will allow us to save energy. By using sensors and 5G networks to check the usage of water, gas and electricity, city managers can find out how to use these energy better. For example, water and gas pipes(管道) could remind repair workers when there is something wrong. Air pollution could be more closely monitored, too.
What's more, telehealth is used with the help of 5G. Telehealth means caring for patients from far away when the provider and the patient are not in the same place.
One form of this is video meeting with a doctor in real time, the same to a WeChat video call. It will also give older people or those living in the countryside an easier way to see a doctor. There are many exciting apps for 5G tech in medicine. One of them is far﹣away operations. In March, China's first 5G﹣based brain operation was done by a doctor in Sanya,Hainan,who operated on a Parkinson's patient in Bejing.In August, China Daily reported that robots in Beiing performed three operations in Xinjiang,Tianjin and Zhangjiakou at the same time.
Of course, it will take time to build the smart cities of the future. But since we've already seen successful examples, it won't be long until more cities join in. Tech Republic believes that by 2050, about 60 percent of people worldwide will live in smart cities.

(1)From the examples of smart cities, we know that it won't be so crowded in the future. ____
(2)From the passage we learn about three fifths of cities will be turned into smart cities by 2050.
(3)Because of 5G networks and sensors, workers can check and monitor public services in time in smart cities.
