At 23,my career got going. I was midway through a master's degree at the London School of Economics and Political Science and had been hired as a part-time reporter for a finance website. I got a great one-month review and my boss asked if I was interested in staying with the company after graduation.
However, balancing graduate studies with work was challenging. To deal with it, I checked my real self at my office door. I came in to work, greeted my colleagues and listened mare than I contributed in each morning meeting. The small team I worked with often seemed busy, so rather than giving ideas that might get turned down, I stayed back.
After four months, my bass called me into his office. The meeting was going well until he told me that despite the great work I had produced, the team had held a meeting and decided, \don't think it's the right fit.\
I must have looked confused. \boas said.\But you haven't made enough effort to join the team. You lost the enthusiasm you showed in your interview. That won't work lone term ,and if I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to let your guard down.\I couldn't believe that performing well at my job wasn't enough to keep it. But I knew my boss was right. They knew that when they hired me, I had no experience in finance reporting, yet they took a chance on me. In meetings I usually contributed last, after I had heard everyone else's suggestions. I did it to show that I was a listener, but also to hide my fears. They liked the person who walked into the interview, and they didn't respect me when I hid that person from them.
\Because we work so hard for success. we don't like to think that we hurt ourselves sometimes. But each of us must change when necessary. In trying to earn a full-time job, I “leaned back” in order not to show too much of myself or my lack of expertise（专门知识）.I learned that the hard way wasn't the way to achieve our goals.

Are you sick of going to bed late and waking up tired? Then grab your hiking boots and a tent. A new study suggests that camping in the great outdoors for a couple of days can reset your body clock and help you get more sleep.
The body clock is an internal system that tells our bodies when it's time to go to sleep and when it's time to wake up. Scientists track this clock by measuring the amount of melatonin（褪黑激素）circulating in a person's blood at any given time.
In a healthy sleeper, melatonin levels rise a few hours before bedtime, stay high through the In our modern society, however, most of us stay up many hours past sunset and would
night, and then settle back down when it's tune to wake up.
probably sleep in many hours after sunrise if we could. And the trouble is, your melatonin levels may still he high when your alarm clock goes off in the morning, which leads to fatigue. It may also have other health consequences as well, such as diabetes（糖尿病）,overweight and heart disease.
Professor Kenneth Wright of the University of Colorado in the US wanted to see if our body clocks can be reset by a short stay in nature. His team recruited（招募）fourteen physically active volunteers in their 20s and 30s.Nine went on a weekend camping trip, while the other five stayed home. At the end of the weekend, the researchers reported that in just two days, the campers' body clocks had shifted so that their melatonin levels began to rise more than an hour earlier than they did before they left on the trip. By contrast, the body clocks of the group that stayed home shifted even later over the course of the weekend. .
\
Therefore, if you want to change your sleep patterns you could try to increase your exposure
to natural light during the day and decrease the amount of artificial light you see at night. And if that doesn't work, here's always camping.
28．What is the author's main purpose of writing the passage?
A．To explain how a lack of sleep is bad for our health. B．To inform us of a possible way to adjust the body clock. C．To analyze how the body clock influences our sleeping habits. D．To explore how the body clock is connected with melatonin levels. 29．The underlined word “fatigue” in Paragraph 4 probably means \ \5 / 11
