A
There were smiling children all the way. Charily they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.
I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight, Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave hack.
From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.
The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car. I looked forward to the return journey.

We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. Sometimes a single unimportant event may cause a number of things to happen. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this causes your troubles to begin. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the tablecloth off the table, destroying your half-prepared meal. You hang up hurriedly and attend to your baby. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this is not enough to bring you to tears, your husband arrives home, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.
Things can also go wrong on the road. During rush hour one evening two cars collided and the drivers began to argue. The woman driver behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She got into a panic and stopped her car. This forced the driver following her to stop suddenly. This driver’s wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake, and as she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the window and landed on the road. A truck driver seeing a cake flying through the air slammed on the brakes. The truck was carrying empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the truck onto the road, causing a terrible traffic jam. It took the police an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meantime, the truck driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two dogs were enjoying themselves, for they were happily having what was left of the cake.

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list 小题1: : I was very thin; I wasn’t a 小题2: student; I talked too much; I was too 小题3:, always feeling superior to(胜过) others, and so on. I tried to hear all as long as I could. 小题4:, I became very angry. I ran to my father with 小题5: in my eyes.
He listened to me 小题6: , and then he asked,“Are the things she says true or not? Janet, don’t you ever wonder 小题7: you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s 小题8: . Go and 小题9:a list of everything she said and mark the points that are 小题10: . Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did小题11:he told me. To my great 小题12:, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t 小题13: (like being very thin),but a good number I could--- and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I went to a fairly 小题14: picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He 小题15:to take it.“That’s just for you,” he said,“You know 小题16: than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to 小题17:, not just close your ears in anger, feeling 小题18: when something said about you is true, you will find it of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your affairs. Don’t shut your 小题19:. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

It is three in the morning on a Tuesday, and I’m walking toward table eighteen, the one I call home. I pass the waiters, give a brief nod to the  小题1:  and take my seat. I  小题2:  the “usual,” water and peanut butter pie. Yes, I’m at an all-night diner.
I start to take out my books,  小题3: full well that I will be  小题4: on the same page of Socrates that I’ve been on for the better part of the semester. Of course, it’s   小题5:  —for my group that is. I wait for the empty chairs around me to be   小题6:  .
Just as the Muzak songs start to repeat themselves, Shana and Jenny walk in. I am   小题7:   with the usual big hugs and smiles. 小题8: , the diner stops being a twenty-for-hour restaurant with bad service and becomes my place—my home   小题9: the prisonlike dorm room. For the next couple of hours, we will joke about people we know, talk about books, reflect on the meaning of life, quote movies and  小题10: new private jokes. Table number eighteen is our  小题11:  home.
During my senior year of college, I started going to the diner for a temporary escape from a dorm room that felt like it was closing in on me. Not to 小题12:  the phones, the stereo and the computer. How could anyone seriously  小题13:   to have good study habits? Some friends of mine told me about the place; they went there to study, and they really liked it.
So I tried it. It felt remarkably freeing. I start going there every night (except weekends, of course), and, believe me it was not because the pies were   小题14:  great either. Maybe it would force me to open my books and my  小题15:  would improve. Right? Well….
But that’s not the   小题16: . I mean, anyone who has gone to college knows that it’s not only about forcing yourself to wake up at 7:45 A.M. (after you had gone to sleep two hours earlier) to listen to a professor spoon-feeding you information  小题17: the significance of the Battle of Hastings. It is  小题18: about finding a little haven where you can create what will be the most important thing in your life—yourself. At a school of thirty-five thousand people, I found a small place that was as   小题19: to me as my Social Security number.
Through laughter, tears, learning, growing and the   小题20: free ice cream, we found a sanctuary. A place where we could be ourselves.

Are morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely made. In my early 20s, I hardly went to bed before midnight, and I would always get up late the next morning.
But after a while I couldn’t ignore the high relationship between success and rising early. On those rare occasions where I did get up early, I noticed that my productivity (效率) was always higher. So I set out to become a habitual early riser. But whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep. Eventually some sleep research showed that my strategy was wrong.
The most common wrong strategy is this: supposing you’re going to get up earlier, you’d better go to bed earlier. It sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail.
There are two main schools (流派) of thought on sleep patterns. One is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day. The second school says you should go to bed when you’re tired and get up when you naturally wake up. However, I have found both are wrong if you care about productivity. If you sleep at fixed hours, you’ll sometimes go to bed when you aren’t sleepy enough. You’re wasting time lying in bed awake.
My solution is to combine both methods. I go to bed when I’m sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time. So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5 a.m.), but I go to bed at different times every night.
However, going to bed only when I’m sleepy, and getting up at a fixed time every morning are my ways. If you want to become an early riser, you can try your own.
小题1:According to the passage, the underlined phrase refers to ________.
A.people who stay up until the next morning
B.people who get up early in the morning
C.people who feel sleepy in the morning
D.people whose productivity is the lowest in the morning
小题2:Why did the author want to become a habitual early riser?
A.Because he / she wanted to have more sleep time.
B.Because he / she wanted to do morning exercise.
C.Because he / she wanted to test which school is better.
D.Because he / she found that the productivity was higher.
小题3:The author experienced all the following EXCEPT ________.
A.going to bed after midnight
B.asking scholars for advice on sleeping habits
C.getting up early occasionally
D.pressing off the alarm to go on sleeping
小题4:What’s the author’s sleep pattern?
A.Going to bed early and getting up early.
B.Going to bed late and getting up late.
C.Going to bed when sleepy and getting up at a fixed early time.
D.Going to bed early and getting up late.
小题5:The passage is mainly about ________.
A.main schools of thought on sleep patternsB.how to have a good sleep
C.wrong strategies for getting up earlyD.how to become an early riser
