If so, you would be called an "early bird”. Perhaps you hate the sound of your alarm clock each morning and have little energy until afternoon. If so, you're probably a "night owl”.Most people can be divided into such two groups, but what makes us this way? And is one better than the other? There are different opinions.Usually, early risers are praised as hard-working whi1e those who prefer to get up late are considered lazy. Most people believe the early bird catches the worm.Yet some scientists now believe “night owlscan really focus longer and produce more than ear1y risers.Research has found that the early bird does not always get the worm. In a Belgian study, both ”morning people" and "evening people“ were watched during their normal waking hours. After 10 hours of being awake, the ” evening people" became more alert （机敏的）.However, the “morning people* became sleepy and less focused. Researchers believe the reason for this difference is that " night owls* receive a last-minute increase from their brains. This added energy allows them to stay alert for longer periods of time.Environment, lifestyle, activities and childhood routines all may have an effect on sleeping habits, yet genetics（遗传学）may play the biggest role.It is possible to change your sleeping habits through regular bedtime, morning exercise and avoiding midnight snacks. But whether you, re happy to rise early or to stay up late, you're probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock.12. How does the author introduce the subject?B.

Late risers can think more quickly after being awake for 10 hours.D. Early risers can think more clearly after being awake for 10 hours.15. What opinion does the author finally agree to?A. People should get up early.B. It* s impossible to change one's sleeping habit.C. Staying up late is good for health.D.Do things that suit you best.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Hobbies let you explore interests outside your work. 16 There are plenty of choices available to you.
