问题     Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. It tells plants when to【C1】______flowers and insects when to leave the protective cocoon(茧)and fly away. And it tells animals and human beings when to【C2】______, sleep and seek food. It controls our body temperatures, the【C3】______of some hormones and even dreams.

The fur becomes gray-brown in longer【C7】______of daylight summer.
   【C8】______signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some internal one seems to order birds to begin their【C9】______flights two times each year. Birds prevented from flying become【C10】______when it is time for the trip. 【C11】______they become calm again when the time of the flight has ended. A mix of outside and internal events controls some biological clocks; such things as heartbeat and the daily change from sleep to walking take place because of both external and internal signals.
    Scientists are beginning to learn【C12】______parts of the brain contain biological clocks. A researcher at Harvard University, Dr. Martin Moore Ede, said a small group of cells near the front of the brain seemed to control the【C13】______of some of our actions.

Most of us have great difficulty if we【C15】______often change to different work hours. It can【C16】______many days for a human body to【C17】______the major change in work hours. Industrial officials should have a better【C18】______of biological clocks and how they affect workers.
