36、grab your hiking boots and a tent. A new study suggests that a couple days of camping in the great outdoors can reset your circadian clock and help you get more sleep. The circadian clock, more commonly known as the body clock, is an internal system that tells our bodies when its time to go to sleep

37、 and when its time to go to wake up. Scientists track this clock by measuring the amount of melatonin(退黑色素) circulating in a persons blood at any given time. In a healthy sleeper, melatonin levels rise a few hours before bedtime, stay high through the night, and then settle back down when its time t

38、o wake up. In our modern society, however, most of us stay up many hours past sunset would probably sleep in many hours after sunrise if we could. And the trouble is, melatonin levels may still be high when your alarm clock goes off in the morning, which leads to grogginess. It may also have other h

39、ealth consequences as well, such as diabetes(糖尿病), overweight and heart disease.

His team recruited 14 physically active volunteers in their 20s and 30s. Nine wen

40、t on a weekend camping trip, while the others five stayed home. At the end of the weekend, the researchers reported that in just two days, the campers body clocks had shifted so that their melatonin levels began to rise more than an hour earlier than they did before they left on the trip. By contras

41、t, the body clocks of the group that stayed home shifted even later over the course of the weekend. This tells us we can reset our clock fast, Wright said. Therefore, if you want to change your sleep patterns you could try to increase your exposure to nature light during the day and decrease the amo

42、unt of artificial light you see at night.And if that doesnt work, theres always camping. 46. The author wrote this article mainly to .

45、ver a short period. D. Changes to the circadian clock dont necessarily affect melatonin levels in our bodies. 50. According to the article, wed better to improve our sleeping habit.

46、ing D. expose ourselves to more nature light in the day and less artificial light at night DSociety tells us that we should count our blessings, focus on all that we have and feel grateful for what weve been given, But there is nothing wrong with “healthy discontent”. In fact, healthy discontent is

47、what motivates us to improve ourselves and our circumstances. Without that feeling that life could be better, its easier to stand still. I always have a certain level of discomfort. That discomfort drives me to work hard at my job. I dont just want to remain where I am. Professionally, I want to kee

48、p getting better. Likewise, I always have a certain amount of discontent about my home. That drives me to always try to improve it by making it look better. My feelings of discontent about my job and my home dont mean that I dont appreciate them. Its an incredible blessing to be able to work and be

49、paid for ones efforts. Similarly, if you live in a safe place, with running water heating, and air conditioning, you are incredible fortunate. These are not things to be taken for granted However; we should be striving(力争) to improve. If you happen to be good at playing the piano, you should work to

50、 continually improve your skills. The same hold true for our personal development. If you have areas in your personality that need improvement, you should work on them, too. For instance, I can be very impatient. As a result, I work hard to try to conquer that flaw(缺点)by keeping my impatience to mys

51、elf. When we feel discontent about ourselves, we have to be honest with ourselves.

52、become so settled in your life that you dont see regular improvement? Do you have a character flaw that you wish you didnt have? Dont ignore these things.
