sleep, and set aside some time every week for exercise.? Chronobiology, a new science, has provided us with a new approach to achieving peak efficiency.? It is to coordinate our daily activities with our biological capacities.? We plot on graph paper six readings of our temperature taken at fourhour intervals throughout a day, and familiarize ourselves with such information as when our body temperature begins to rise, when it reaches its peak/the highest point, and when the bottom/the lowest point appears.? Then, we plan our daily activities by following the instructions given by chronobiology authorities. For instance, we tackle the most demanding physical work when our temperature is the highest.? By contrast, we pursue mental activities like reading and reflection when our temperature is falling. In this way, what we actually do coincides with our body’s natural rhythms and we achieve our best as predicted.? 我們都想要健康,在應(yīng)付各種嚴(yán)峻挑戰(zhàn)時(shí)想要自己處于最佳狀態(tài)。? 健康方面的好建議并不少。? 例如:均衡飲食、睡眠充足以及每周安排一些時(shí)間做運(yùn)動(dòng)。? 一門(mén)新學(xué)科—時(shí)間生物學(xué)—為我們提供了一個(gè)能取得最佳效率的新方法。? 這個(gè)方法就是協(xié)調(diào)我們的日?;顒?dòng)與自身身體能力。? 我們將天中每隔四小時(shí)所測(cè)得的六個(gè)體溫讀數(shù)標(biāo)記在坐標(biāo)紙上,讓自己熟悉以下信息我的體溫何時(shí)開(kāi)始上升,何時(shí)體溫升到最高,何時(shí)降到最低。? 然后,我們遵照時(shí)間生物學(xué)權(quán)威人士的指示來(lái)規(guī)劃我們的日?;顒?dòng)。例如,體力要求最高的工 作要在我們體溫最高時(shí)去做。? 而與之不同的是,像讀書(shū)和思考這樣的腦力勞動(dòng)就要在體溫下降時(shí)去做。這樣,我們實(shí)際做的事就與我們身體的自然節(jié)奏相吻合,我們就能和預(yù)期一樣表現(xiàn)出最佳狀態(tài)Unit4? A gold medal is a tribute/proof to the athletic talent, determination and courage of an Olympic champion.? Then how do the athletes make themselves fortunate enough to be so highly honored? ? The champions who have mounted/ climbed/ stood the winners’ stand can offer an answer based on their own experiences.? First, in the course of training, they visualize themselves as champions. Once their dreams of being champions take shape, they will cling to them courageously.? What’s more, top performers are driven to bring out their best. They discipline themselves and squeeze in every possible minute to practice every day. ? Despite their relentless efforts, they may sometimes fail to win or narrowly miss a gold medal, yet they believe in themselves and never lose heart. ? They are ready to take on the most psychologically an
