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 may say that you are 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 forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: "Get up, John! You’ll 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 quarreling 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 your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. ff 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 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.
All the following statements are true EXCEPT that ______.
选项 A、getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy
B、many couples quarrel because they don’t understand the energy cycle
C、people can’t change the energy cycle, but they can adapt themselves to it
D、Dr. Kleitman can explain why people feel most energetic at different time in a day
答案A
解析 本题是细节题。原文说慢点起床后会节省人的能量，A选项与之矛盾。原文说，如果大家知道能量循环，家里发生的争吵就会停止了，所以B选项正确。原文说人们可以学会使生活适应自己的能量循环，所以C选项正确。原文第一段说，Dr．Kleitman证明了每个人都有其日常能量循环，所以D选项正确。
