Every living thing has an inner
biological clock that controls behavior. The clock works all the time even when
there are no outside signs to mark the passing of time. The biological clock
tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells
insects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away. And it tells animals
when to eat, sleep and wake. It controls body temperature, the release of
some hormones and even dreams. These natural daily events are circadian
rhythms. Man has known about them for thousands of years. But
the first scientific observation of circadian rhythms was not made until 1729.
In that year French astronomer, Jean-Jacques d’Ortous de Mairan, noted that one

A Biological Clock
Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. The biological clock tells (1) when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells (2) when to leave the protective cocoons and fly away, and it tells animals and human beings when to eat, sleep and wake.
Events outside the plant and animal (3) the actions of some biological clocks. Scientists recently found, for example, that a tiny animal changes the color of its fur (4) the number of hours of daylight. In the short (5) of winter, its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray brown in color in the longer hours of daylight in summer.
Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some kind of internal clock seems to order birds to begin their long migration (6) twice each year. Birds (7) flying become res A. prevented from B. helped by C. intruded on
