    Our bodies experience an ebb and flow of energy throughout the day. This is called a circadian rhythm, and it has been studied 【C1】______ by scientists. Our energy level builds gradually to a peak, then 【C2】______, reaching a trough (低谷) about 12 hours later.
    The exact nature of this cycle varies from person to person, and 【C3】______ do our preferences for activity versus rest.
    Our natural rhythms are 【C4】______ by internal drives and external stimulation. Typically,  external stimulation wins out over what our internal guide tells us. For example, when we fly across six time zones, we have to fit into a different time frame whether we like it or not. The same is true when we work the night shift. These are 【C5】______ examples of what most of us experience every day on the job.
    So here we are, many of us working hours that are 【C6】______ to what our internal rhythms would prefer. Too bad. Or is it?

But can naptime really fit into the American workday? While experts seem to agree that napping is a good idea, the reality of napping is probably a long shot at best.
    There are lots of 【C9】______ for this. One is the need for predictability and standardization in the workplace, especially in companies that do business around the world. Another is the longstanding American work ethic that 【C10】______ total commitment from beginning to end of the workday. Napping is viewed as slacking, a real no-no for the go-getter who wants to get ahead.
【C5】
选项
答案M
解析 此处需要填入形容词或分词，修饰名词examples。前文举了适应时差、上夜班的例子，这些都不是每天工作的普通情况。因此这里用extreme“极端的”比appropriate“适当的”更符合语境。
