第一篇
We have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day. This is so 1 that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one 2 understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. The process(过程)is not as simple as we 3 think, as recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were 4 constant(连续的)darkness. We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they normally do. In fact, they continued to open at 5 usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious (神秘的) way of 6 the time. Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of "inner clock".
This 7 may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just plants but also animals—including man—have this "inner clock" which controls the working of their bodies and influences(影响)their 8 . Men, then, are also influenced by this mysterious power. Whether we wish it or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food.
In the past, this did not matter very much because people lived in natural condition. In the modern world, things are 9 now. There are spacemen, airplane pilots and, in ordinary life, a lot of people who have to work at night. It would be very 10 , then, to know more about the "inner clock". Such ordinary things as flowers might help us understand more about ourselves.
