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!

阅读下面短文，简要回答所给问题。
It was near Christmas during my first semester teaching at a new school.I loved my small special class more than any group I had taught in the past.They were hungry for knowledge and I was enjoying teaching.
Other teachers had told me that our children were from poor families and not to expect any child to bring a Christmas gift.In fact，I wasn't expecting any gifts.
Imagine my surprise when every child brought me a gift on the day before our holiday break.First，I got a muchloved stuffed monkey from a shy girl.I was told，“He is my favorite，but I love you and I want him to be with you，Miss Taylor.”How thrilled I was!
Next came a new set of Christmas tree lights that was “missing” from a mother's cupboard.
Finally，I came to one little boy's gift which I had never received.It was an old，dirty and broken Christmas story book.Just when I wanted to express my happiness，I was interrupted(打断)by the giver，“And see，it is new！It still has the price tag.”
When other children laughed at him，I stopped them and said，“Oh，books are good in that way.The story is always new if you have not read it before.Now，let's share one together.”Everyone listened quietly as I read the most wonderful Christmas story of my life.
I still keep those Christmas gifts.They always remind me of my lovely kids.

Dear Owner, please listen to me,
My life is likely to last ten to fifteen years. Any separation(分离) from you will make me sad. Remember that before you buy me.
Give me time to understand what you want of me.
Don't be angry with me for long and don’t lock me up as a punishment. You have your work, your entertainment and your friends. I have only you.
Don’t forget to feed me. I’ll be happy if you give me my favorite food--bones.
Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice when you’re speaking to me.
Take care of me when I get old. You, too, will grow old.
Go with me or difficult journeys. Everything is easier for me if you are there. Remember, I love you.
Leo
