Material 1:
For many people, having a cup of coffee right out of bed is the best way to start a day. But a report from ASAP Science says otherwise.
It says the worst time for coffee is soon after we get up. When we wake up, our bodies start to make cortisol (皮质醇). Cortisol helps us think clearly and be quick to understand and act. The cortisol levels rise after we wake up and climb to the highest in about an hour. So there are two problems when we drink coffee during this time: Our bodies will make less cortisol, and the cortisol will make coffee less useful. And that's why some of us drink more and more coffee.
Then, when is the best time to have coffee? When the cortisol levels are going down, the report says. Cortisol levels are usually the highest between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m., between noon and 1 p.m., and between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. So if you want to have coffee, enjoy it after these times, and this popular drink will help you the most.
Material 2:
Four people read the passage and wrote what they thought about it.
(
A. They are serious about it.
B. They have no idea about it.
C. They think differently about it.
D. They do not think it is a problem.
(
(
A. They wanted to try what it said. B. They were sad about what it said.
C. They did not agree with what it said. D. They were not surprised at what it said.

材料1：
对很多人来说，一起床就喝杯咖啡是开启一天的最佳方式。但ASAP科学网站的一份报告却不这么认为。
报告称，起床后不久是喝咖啡最糟糕的时间。当我们醒来时，我们的身体会开始分泌皮质醇。皮质醇能帮助我们清晰思考，快速理解和行动。我们醒来后皮质醇水平会上升，并在大约一小时内达到最高值。所以在这段时间喝咖啡会有两个问题：我们的身体会分泌更少的皮质醇，而且皮质醇会降低咖啡的效用。这就是为什么我们中的一些人会喝越来越多咖啡的原因。
那么，什么时候是喝咖啡的最佳时间呢？报告称，当皮质醇水平开始下降的时候。皮质醇水平通常在上午8点到9点、中午12点到下午1点以及下午5点30分到6点30分之间最高。所以如果你想喝咖啡，在这些时间之后享用，这种受欢迎的饮品会对你帮助最大。
材料2：
四个人阅读了这篇文章并写下了他们的看法。
（ ）4. 当有人对某件事“think otherwise”时，是什么意思？
A. 他们对此很认真。
B. 他们对此一无所知。
C. 他们对此有不同的看法。
D. 他们认为这不是个问题。
（ ）5. 下面的图表显示了一天中皮质醇水平的升降情况。根据材料1，哪个时间适合喝咖啡？
（ ）6. 这四个人对材料1的看法是什么？
A. 他们想尝试材料1中所说的做法。
B. 他们对材料1中所说的内容感到难过。
C. 他们不同意材料1中所说的内容。
D. 他们对材料1中所说的内容并不感到惊讶。
