33、n others.DIf you feel sleepy every morning, dont blame yourself. Your work schedule could be to blame.Recent research shows that, for many of us, our work schedules do not agree with our natural body clocks-and experts are urging(敦促) employers to take notice.“When work schedules agree with peoples n

34、atural sleep patterns, they produce higher quality and more creative work because they are more focused, less stressed and generally healthier.

37、greement with their employees body clocks. That mismatch, along with the pressure from work at all hours of the day and night, means that many people suffer from “social jet lag”.

The connection between sleep and work performance.34. What did Roenneberg intend to tell us by mentioni

40、ng peoples feet?A. People are born with feet of different sizes.B. Peoples body clocks differ from person to person.C. It is important to wear shoes of the right size.D. It is important to obey our natural body clocks,35. Which of the following will the author probably agree with?A. Sleep is for the

80、ome reasons this. First, you could get more traffic facilities in the city. For example, there are buses, trains, subways and taxis in the city, but there are only carriages in the country. Second, you could get more shopping facilities in the city. Therere shopping malls and supermarkets everywhere

81、 where you can get everything you need. Its not so convenient to buy something in the stores of the country. Last, therere more job opportunities in the city, for the city has more factories.

So, now I am in a position to conclude that living in the city is better than living in the country.
