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.

On most space shuttle flights everyone sleeps at the same time. No one has to stay awake to watch over the spaceplane; the shuttle’s computers and the engineers at Mission Control do that. If anything goes wrong, the computers ring an alarm and the engineers call us on the radio.
On the space shuttle, sleep-time doesn’t mean nighttime. During each ninety-minute orbit the sun “rises ” and shines through our windows for about fifty minutes; then it “ sets ” as our path takes us around the dark side of the earth. To keep the sun out of our eyes, we wear black sleep masks.
It is surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space. Every astronaut sleeps differently. Some sleep upside down, some right side up. When it’s time to sleep, I take my bag, my sleep mask, and my tape player with earphones and float up to the flight deck. Then I crawl into the bag, and float in a sitting position just above a seat, right next to a window. Before I pull the mask down over my eyes, I relax for a while, listening to music and watching the Earth go by beneath me.
36、When it’s bedtime, astronauts pull their sleeping bags ________ .
A.near the windows
B.in the flight deck
C.above the seats
D.in any place they like

A.wear a sleep mask
B.listen to music
C.sleep upside down
D.sleep sideways
40、The best title for this passage is ________ .
A.bedtime doesn’t mean nighttime
B.sleeping in space

her first job with a large supermarket chain. She knows there is a growing market for distinctive, quality cakes in the
bakery sections of the supermarket chains, as well as in supplying independent individual premium cake shops, and
also for catering wholesalers supplying restaurants and hotels.
Helen is very determined to set up her own business under the brand name of ‘Helen’s cakes’, and has bought some
equipment – industrial food mixers, ovens, cake moulds – and also rented a small industrial unit to make the cakes.
Helen has created three sets of recipes – one for the premium cake shop market, one for the supermarkets and one
for the catering wholesalers but is uncertain which market to enter first. Each channel of distribution offers a different
set of challenges. The premium cake shop market consists of a large number of independent cake shops spread
through the region, each looking for daily deliveries, a wide product range and low volumes. The supermarkets are
demanding good quality, competitive prices and early development of a product range under their own brand name.
The catering wholesalers require large volumes, medium quality and low prices.
Helen has learnt that you are a consultant specialising in start-up enterprises and is looking to you for advice.
Required:
(a) Acting as a consultant, prepare a short report for Helen advising her on the advantages and disadvantages
each channel offers and the implications for a successful start-up. (12 marks)
