33、分数：10.00)Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to
34、 pick up a book with an attractive dust-jacket is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book. You soon become absorbed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realise you have spent far too much time
35、 there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment, without buying a book, of course.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop
36、. You can wander round such places to your hearts content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting: “Can I help you, Sir?“ You neednt buy anything you dont want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. The
37、n, and only then, are his services necessary. Of course, you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire discreetly and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variet
38、y of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbingsomething which had only vaguely interested you up till then. This volume on the subject, however, ha
39、ppened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting, that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section. Book-sellers must be both long-
40、suffering and indulgent (纵容的).（分数：10.00）(1).You may spend too much time in a bookshop because _. A. the dust-jackets are very attractive B. you start reading one of the books C. it is raining outside D. you have to make sure you dont buy a dull book as a present（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).In a good booksho
41、p _. A. nobody takes any notice of you B. the assistant greets you in a friendly way C. your heart is contented D. you feel that you are in a music shop（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).An assistant should help you _.

This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new e
44、xplanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that youre “hot“. Thats true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the
45、forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, John! Youll be late for work again!“ The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much
46、family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but feel
47、 you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your cycle, but youll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge
