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!

We may know that there are four basic periods for human beings to pass through when you enter and live in another country. This process(变化过程) helps you deal with culture shock(文化冲击).
Culture shock begins with the "honeymoon period". This is the time when you first arrive in a place where everything about the new cu1ture is strange and exciting. You see new things, hear new sounds and language, eat new kinds of food. This period can last for quite a long time because you feel very happy.
Unluckily, the second period can be more difficu1t. After you have got used to your new life, you can become very tired and begin to miss your motherland, your family, your friends, your pets and so on. Al1 the little prob1ems in life seem to be much bigger and more worrying when you face them in a foreign country. This period can be very difficult and lead to moving backwards quickly.
The third period is called the "adjustment(调整) period". This is When you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the new country. Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize you are becoming stronger by 1earning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor(善于求生者).
The fourth period can be cal1ed "at ease at last". Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place. You can deal with most problems that you have. You may still have prob1ems with language,but you know you are strong enough to deal with them. At this time, you may feel a little uncomfortable if you go back to your motherland.According to the passage, culture shock usually happens when you

| D．it's not easy to dea1 with culture shock |
