【解析】

本文主要向我們介紹了做一些事情的最佳時間。

【1】句意：喝過之后，它會重置你身體的生物鐘，阻止你入睡。

predict預測；prevent阻止；provide提供；produce生產(chǎn)。根據(jù)后文“You may try not drinking the coffee for a few weeks to see what a night of truly good rest feels like”可知，“你可以嘗試幾個星期不喝咖啡，看看一個晚上真正的良好休息是什么感覺”，所以咖啡會阻止你入睡，故選B。

【2】句意：你體內(nèi)一種叫做胰島素的化學物質在一天的前半段達到最高點，然后緩慢地降低。

appears出現(xiàn)；improves提升；drops下降；returns返回。根據(jù)文中“reaches the highest point in the first half of the day, then slowly”可知，在前半段已經(jīng)到達最高點，所以之后會緩慢“下降”，故選C。

【3】句意：八小時似乎是最好的。

perfect最好的，完美的；limited有限的；boring無聊的；serious嚴重的，嚴肅的。根據(jù)文中“Studies show that those who get six and a half to eight hours are less possible to die too soon.”可知，那些睡6個半小時到8個小時的人過早死亡的可能性更小，所以八小時睡眠是最好的，故選A。

【4】句意：甚至職業(yè)球員也會得到提升。

Still仍然；Just只，僅僅；Yet但是，然而；Even甚至。根據(jù)后文“West Coast NFL teams won more often in matches after 8 p.m. on the East Coast. Still on Pacific time, their bodies were ready to play.”可知，以專業(yè)球隊比賽的例子印證肌肉張力在下午五點左右最高，所以此處“甚至職業(yè)球員也會得到提升”，故選D。

【5】句意：具有創(chuàng)造力。

creative有創(chuàng)造力的；confident自信的；generous慷慨的；responsible負責的。根據(jù)后文“and many different ideas may come up.”可知，可能想到很多不同的想法，所以此處表示“具有創(chuàng)造力”，故選A。

【6】句意：在我們醒來后的最初幾個小時，我們的大腦有機會使用更多的能量。

attitude態(tài)度；chance機會；resource資源；order命令。分析句子可知，此處表示“機會”的含義，構成短語have a chance to do sth，翻譯為“有機會去做某事”，故選B。
