At the beginning of this century, medical scientists made an interesting discovery: we are built not just of flesh (肌肉) and blood but also of time. They were able to show that we all have a ‘body clock’ 1 us, which controls the 2 and fall of our body energies. It can 3 us different from one day to the next.
The idea of a ‘body clock’ should not be too 4 because the lives of most living things are controlled by the 24-hour night-and-day cycle (循环). We feel 5 and fall asleep at night. We become 6 and energetic during the day. Most people will have a bad feeling if the 24-hour cycle is 7 . For example, people who are not used to working at night can find that lack (缺少) of sleep causes them to 8 badly at work.
9 the daily cycle of sleeping and waking, we also have other cycle which lasts longer than one day. Most of us would 10 that we feel good on some days and not so good on others; sometimes our ideas seem to be so active and at other times, they are not.

People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells. Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the church and have made up their minds to 15 the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest（抗议） against heavy trucks which run 16 through the narrow High Street.“They not only make it 17 to sleep at night, but they are doing damage（损害） to our houses and shops of historical 18 ,”
said John Norris, one of the protesters.
“ 19 we must have these noisy trucks on the roads,” said Jean Lacey, a biology student, “why don’t they build a new road that goes round the town? Burlington isn’t much more than a 20 village. Its streets were never meant for heavy traffic”.
Harry Fields also studying 21 said they wanted to make as much noise as possible to force the government officials to realize what everybody was having to stand. “Most of them don’t live here anyway,” he said, “they come in for meetings and the Town Hall is soundproof（隔音的）, so they probably don’t 22 . It’s high time they realized the problem.” The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were mostly on their side, and even if they weren’t they soon would be.
I asked if they were 23 that the police might come to stop them.
“Not really,” she said, “actually we are suitable bellringers. I mean we are assistant bellringers for the church. There is no 24 against practising.”
I left the church with the sound of the bells ringing in my ears.
