C Finders, Keepers? I worked for a short time as a cashier (出纳员) at a restaurant a few months ago; I also helped clear off the tables when it was especially busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guess I should have checked it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at the time. Also, I imagined that if the wallet contained anything valuable, the owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his sincere(真挚的) thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “No”, he immediately opened it and showed that it contained nearly $800 in cash. I gasped as he took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me. “A reward for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away. Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been so honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I think that if there had been no way to find the owner and no one had returned to claim(认领) it, I might have kept it. But it also came into my mind that I had actually saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth much than anything money could pay. 51.

D Recently Dr. Cleiman has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work, you may say that you are “hot”. That is true, the time of day when you feel most energetic (full of energy) is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak(top). For some people the peak comes during the forenoon(上午前). For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what this energy cycle means and which cycle each member of the family has. You cannot change your cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. “Habits can help,” Dr. Cleiman believes. If your energy cycle is low in the morning but you have an important job early in the day, rise before your usual hour, and then you will work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a lazy yawn(哈欠) and stretch. Sit on the edge of bed before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome searching for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. 56. Dr. Cleiman did not explain in the passage ___________.
