Biological Clock
When the sun rises on a warm and sunny day, you can see some flowers open up. When they close late in the afternoon, other flowers open.
Biological rhythms(生物节律), like the opening and closing of flowers, happen all over nature. But not all of them are daily rhythms. Some, like the beating of our heart, happen every second. (1)Scientists use the term biological clock to describe the timing that controls biological rhythms. (2) In some animals it is probably controlled by the brain. In plants and other living things that have no brain, it must be something else.
The migration of animals happens when a signal is sent out. For example, when days become shorter, birds leave the northern parts of the world and fly south where it is warm. (3)Humans also have biological clocks that control their daily rhythms. When people travel by plane from one continent to another, they often cross many time zones. Their internal clocks don’t seem to work correctly. We call this jet lag(时差). (4)People who work night shifts also have problems with their biological clocks. They may not be as active as people who work during the daytime.
Biological clocks control many rhythms of life. (5) Doctors are looking for new ways to make travelling more comfortable and medical treatment more effective.
A. But where can you find it?
B. This makes them feel tired.
C. In the summer they fly back to have babies.
D. We are learning more and more about them.
E. Biological clocks can be adjusted.
F. Other rhythms are based on months, seasons or years.

Dear Sirs,
We thank you for your new order, but we find your price for 10 pcs/box table cloth of USD12.50 per box is too low. Our calculation points to USD12.80 per box. But in order to start, we think we can accept USD12.70/box. If you agree, we will fax you our Sales Contract for your signature.
Shipping marks are at our option.
Payment: by a confirmed, irrevocable Letter of Credit in our favor, payable by draft at sight.
Insurance is to be covered by us for 110% of the invoice value against All Risks.
Delivery: within 30 days after receiving the relative L/C.
For your information, according to our calculation, a 20-foot container can hold 600 cartons of 10-pc boxes or 300 cartons of 20-pc boxes.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sirs,
Thanks for your E-mail. We regret we are unable to accept USD12.70 for 10–pc boxes. The best we can do is USD12.60/box, for the start of our cooperation.
As we indicated earlier, you should accept the above price, taking into consideration the higher cost of freight at our expense.
Payment and date of shipment are acceptable. Please entertain our bid, so that we can proceed with the opening of the relevant L/C.
Yours sincerely,
