问题     Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it ’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
    During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you ’ re "hot". That’s 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 morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this it so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语) as; "Get up, John ! You will 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 family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
    You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’ re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) 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 won’t change your cycle, but you’ ll get up steam (鼓起干劲) 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 of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will______.
选项 A、help to keep your energy for the day’s work
B、help you to control your temper early in the day
C、enable you to concentrate on your routine work
D、keep your energy cycle under control all day
答案A
解析 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的第一句：“Get off to a slow start which saves your energy．”这个词组套用了英语中的一句老话：get off to a good／bad start，意为“一开头很好(或糟)、一开始就顺利(或不顺利)”。文中将good换成了slow，意思是“一开头慢慢来，这样会节省你的精力”。因此A项是答案。B项和D项文章并未提及。C项不正确可以从文章最后一句得到证实，routine work是不需要更多的精力和专注的工作的。
