There are many problems in our modern world. One very serious problem is energy. We get a great 【71】 of energy we need from coal, gas, and oil. However, the 【72】 of energy which we use is 【73】 every year, and we only have enough coal, gas, and oil for the next twenty or thirty years. How will we live 【74】 the energy which these things give us? Scientists are looking for 【75】 to this problem. They are looking for new 【76】 to produce energy. For example, they are working with new ways 【77】 energy from the light and heat of the sun. They are also working with plans which produce energy from 【78】 of the oceans. All of the new methods 【79】 scientists are finding are still very expensive, but perhaps they will help solve our energy problems 【80】 the future.

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 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' 11 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 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' 11 get up steam(振作) 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.
If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably______.
A.he is" hot"
B.he refuses to follow his own energy cycle
C.he is not sure when his energy is low
D.he is very energetic in the afternoon or evening
