19、e to go out of the front door. If I try to get out of the door, the two adult birds are right there, and Ive got no chance. It?s really frightening.

26、 very early might sound exhausting to late risers, but can a night owl become an early bird? It is possible to make the switch, but its not easy, said Michelle Drerup, director of behavioral sleep medicine at the Cleveland Clinic. UA true night owl doesnt really feel great early in the morning when
27、they wake up, especially when theyre starting to change this?,A persons tendency to be a night owl, early bird or some place in between is known as their chronotype. Depending on their chronotype, people are likely to be more awake and alert during certain times of the day and sleepier during others
28、. Chronotype is determined by a combination of nature and nurture（养育）,scientists have found. On the nature side, a number of genes are known to play roles in determining whether a person prefers to be awake late at night or early in the moming.Environment also plays a large role. People tend to part
29、icipate in daily activities that reinforce their chronotype, Drerup said. For example, night owls feel more productive and alert at night, so they tend to exercise and socialize in the evening. These activities are stimulating and reinforce the persons tendency to stay up late.The environment being
30、an important factor, it is possible （o change your sleep-wake cycle. If you want to wake up earlier, make the change gradually. Drerup recommended slowly shifting your wake-up alarm earlier by 15 to 20 minutes every few days over the course of several weeks until youre adjusted to your ideal schedul
31、e. Consistency is the key.Limit exposure to light in the hour before bed, such as by staying away from screens, Drerup said. Light blocks the bodys production of melatonin, a honnone（激素）that regulates our circadian rhythm（昼夜节律）.And in the morning, try to get exposure to light as soon as you wake up,
32、 to end melatonin production. Avoid stimulating activities late in the evening. Instead of exercising at night, try working out in the morning or afternoon. You may also need to shift your meal times to earlier in the day.If being a night owl works for you, there is actually no reason to change your
33、 sleep schedule. But staying up late becomes a problem when you must wake up early for work and school. It can also increase your risk of developing health problems.27. What can we learn about night owls?A. They feel bad while trying to make a switch.B. Their sleeping habit is fixed and cant be chan
34、ged.C. They （end to be more awake and alert than early birds.D. Their habit of sleeping late can be worsened by many activities.28. What is the word chronotype used to describe?A. A persons sleeping patterns.B. A persons behavior during sleep.C. A persons tendency to stay active.D. A persons ability
35、 to adapt to something.3(). What can help change a night owl into an early bird according to the (ext?a. Stop doing exercise at night.b. Set the alarm clock earlier sometimes.c. Stay away from screens before going to bed.d. Avoid activities that make them excited at night.A. abcB. abdC. acdD. bedWha
36、t is the text mainly about?A. The risks of sleeping late.B. How to lead a healthy life.C. The benefits of becoming an early bird.D. How to change the sleep schedule of night owls.DNew research suggests that your cat is likely to be using sounds to keep track of where you are even when youre out of s
37、ight. Domesticated(驯养的)cats create “mental maps“ that track where their owner is located based on the direction of certain sounds, which is an ability (hat was previously unknown in cals.Study author Saho Takagi, a doctoral student at Kyoto University, says she has long been interested in cats heari
38、ng and their ability to move their ears in different directions. 4tI saw a cat with only one of its ears tilted(倾斜) back listening to the sound behind it, and felt that cats must be thinking about many things from the sound,“ Takagi said. uThis time, I tried to find out whether they map their owners
39、 position from sounds.”The team conducted a scries of experiments to find out if cats actively track their owner using signals like sounds. They played recordings of human voices calling a cats name from different locations. For example, a nearby speaker would announce, “Fluffy!”，suggesting to the k
40、itty that the owner was close, and then a speaker in a different room would play the same message again. The cats appeared suqjrised by the voice coming from an unexpected location, suggesting that domesticated cats inap the position of their human companions using audio signals, even when theyre in
41、 (he next room.Earlier studies have shown that cats can tell familiar and unfamiliar human voices apart, and locate hidden objects. Therefore, 44it seems plausible that cats should be able to mentally map others locations based on sounds,“ the researchers explain.Cats arent the only animals that can
42、 keep track of something that is out of sight which is an ability called object permanence. Human children usually start to develop the skill around eight months old, and previous research has also found object permanence in other animals. uIt is generally believed that cats are not as interested in
43、 their owner as dogs are, but it turns out that they were mentally representing the invisible presence of their owner,n Takagi told CNN.31. Why did Saho Takagi do this research with her team members?A. To analyze how sounds a fleet cals hearing.B. To satisfy her curiosity about the hearing ability o
44、f cats.C. To study how cals keep track of their owners in big rooms.D. To observe whether cats could find their owners by sound. 33. How did the team do the experiments?A. They let owners in different rooms shout their cats names out loud.B. They put speakers in a few locations and asked the cats to
45、 find them.C. They played recordings of cat owners voices in different locations.D. They played recordings of all kinds of human voices at the same time.34. What docs the underlined word “plausible“ probably mean in the fourth paragraph?A. Doubtful.B. Surprising.C. Reasonable.D. Unbelievable.35. Wha
46、t can be inferred from the text?A. Dogs can give more love to their owners than cats.B. Cats probably imagine the location of their owners in their minds.C. Except for humans, object permanence has only been found in cats.D. Previous research has got similar conclusions about cats to those of Takagi

For example, they favor more in-depth analysis This one is especially
48、for the main participants in the debate. They put forward their views from a place where theyre comfortably seated. 36 That is why online debaters can comprehend and think their competitors arguments while they write down their own points of view.37 You dont need to find a place or arrange fbr the a
