On May 23,1989,Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad,New Mexico.She hadn"t seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks.Stefania was in a research program,and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms(节奏). In this experiment Stefania had spent 130 days in a cave,30 feet in depth. During her time in the cave,Stefania had been completely alone except for two white mice.Her living place had been very comfortable,but there had been nothing to tell her the time.She"d had no clocks or watches,no television or radio.There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃. The results were very interesting.Stefania had been in the cave for over four months,but she thought she had been there for only two.Her body clock had changed.She hadn"t kept to a 24hour day, she had stayed awake for 20~25 hours and then had slept for 10 hours.She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 171 bs in weight as a result!She had also become rather depressed(抑郁). How had she spent her time in the cave?As part of the experiment she"d done some physical and mental tests.She"d recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer.This computer had been specially programmed for the project.Whenever she was free,she"d played cards,read books and listened to music.She"d also learned French from tapes. The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature.For example, the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep.However,people are affected in different ways.Some people wake up naturally at 5:00 am,but others don"t start to wake up till 9:00 or 10:00 am.This affects the whole daily rhythm.As a result,the early risers are at their best in the late morning.The late risers, on the other hand,are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!

It"s simply just another way to create more selfawareness. |

He looked at the second-hand Harley Davidson he"d bought from a back-street garage back home in Miami at the beginning of his trip six weeks before. For years he had dreams of crossing the United States from east to west by motorbike and he"d finally decided that it was now or never. He"d given up his job, sold his car and set off for the journey of his dreams. He"d been lucky, or so he thought, to find this old Harley Davidson and had bought it for a very reasonable price------it had cost him just $600. But five kilometers from Atlanta, he had run out of luck. The motorbike had broken down. He pushed the bike into town and found a garage. The young mechanic told him to leave the bike overnight and come back the next day. The following morning, to his surprise, the man asked if the bike was for sale. "Certainly not," he replied, paid his bill and hit the road. When he got to Kansas the old machine ran out of steam again. This time Nick thought about selling it and buying something more reliable, but decided to carry on. When the bike was going well, he loved it. However, in Denver, Colorado the bike broke down again so he decided to take it to a garage and offer it for sale. The mechanic told him to come back in the morning. The next day, to his amazement, the man offered him $2,000. Realizing the man must be soft in the head, but clearly not short of money, Nick asked for $ 3,000. The man agreed and they signed the papers. Then the mechanic started laughing. In fact it was several minutes before he could speak and when he could he said, "That"s the worst deal you"ll ever make, boy." He removed the seat. On the underside was the inscription (铭文): "To Elvis, love James Dean."
1. Harley Davidson here refers to a _________.
A. car B. truck C. garage D. motorbike
2. Which of the following did Nick value most?
A. Harley Davidson. B. His job. C. His dream to travel. D. His car.
3. The underlined word in the 6th paragraph is closest in meaning to_________.
A. clever B. crazy C. honest D. kind
4. At the end of the story, Nick must have felt very __________.
A. sorry B. happy C. excited D. moved
