问题      You can take the person out of nature, but you can’t take nature out of the person. The latest scientific thinking tells us that even in the modem workplace, we’re still at the mercy of basic biology.
     Consider the workweek. For inalienable biological reasons, Monday tends to be the least productive day for most people. "It’s simply natural to feel stress when making the transition from pleasurable engagement back into work," says Arnold Brown, principal at Weiner Edrich Brown, a New York City trend-tracking firm that culls scientific findings with workplace implications. He’s come across a study, meanwhile, that shows Tuesday is our most productive day, falling after the Monday do  ldrums and before a pre-week-end slump that builds throughout the rest of the week.
     We also can’t shut out input from our senses. For example, findings show that our sense of smell is closely tied to memory. Brown’s workplace tip: Dab on a bit of scent--any scent--while you’re practicing a speech. When you deliver it, put on the same scent, and your recall will be improved.
     Studies also show there’s no substitute for natural light. It triggers our brains to produce serotonin, which makes us awake and alert. "Why are meeting moms often deep inside buildings, with muted light?" asks Brown. "Are we telling executives, ’let’s not think about things’?"
By the first sentence, the writer means that ______.
选项 A、you can change a person’s nature for a while, but you can’t change it permanently
B、you can change man’s living conditions, but you can’t change his nature
C、you can follow biological roles but you can’t break them
D、you can improve yourself but you can’t change your nature
答案B
解析 本文主要谈人们在工作场所如何受到自然和生物规律的支配。第一句话紧扣主题，意思是“你可以使一个人脱离大自然的环境，却不能使他摆脱大自然规律的支配。”因此选B。
