For everyone who hates setting their alarm an hour earlier to hit the gym, scientists may have some good news. Afternoon workouts lead to better outcomes for some people, according to a study published this year.
The study, which looked at men who were at risk for or diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, found that participants who exercised in the afternoon experienced more metabolic (新陈代谢的) benefits as well as more positive effects on their exercise performance and fat mass compared to participants who exercised in the morning.
“Our body has a biological clock, and this controls many processes in the body and these processes have a rhythm,” said study author Patrick Schrauwen, a professor of metabolic aspects of type 2 diabetes at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. “Some of these are well known, like your body temperature and your blood pressure,” Schrauwen said. Our biological clocks also impact our metabolism and whether our bodies burn fat or carbohydrates at certain times, he added. And for study participants who were very fat or at risk for type 2 diabetes, those fat-burning processes were the best in the afternoon hours.
“Food intake also likely plays a role,” said Shawn Arent, professor and chair of the exercise science department at the University of South Carolina. He was not involved in the study. “You have more waking hours in the afternoon. When you're more awake, you have a chance to fuel the system a little bit more,” Arent said. Higher body temperatures in the afternoon may also help muscular performance, almost like a built-in daily warm-up.
“When you start to realize how strong this biological clock can be, and then if you do the things like food intake at the wrong time of the day, or being inactive at times when you should be active, this can have a major impact,” Schrauwen added. “The good news is that you can also use it for your benefit.”
15.What does the study find about workouts
A.Workouts improve metabolic processes.
B.People should get up early to do exercises.
C.It's better for some people to exercise in the afternoon.
D.Working out regularly can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
16.What can we know about a biological clock
A.It has nothing to do with workouts.
B.It determines the best time for workouts.
C.It prevents us suffering type 2 diabetes.
D.It speeds up our metabolism and fat-burning processes.
17.What's Arent's attitude towards the study
A.Supportive. B.Conservative. C.Indifferent. D.Tolerant.
18.What may Schrauwen's advice be
A.Be active all the day.
B.Be aware of your habits.
C.Take control of your food intake.
D.Make good use of your biological clock.

A Chinese man, who is 19 (know) only by his nickname, Coastline, spent about a year building a 600-square-meter floating home on the coast of Fujian Province. Coastline grew up near the sea.
