Yet no one 2 understands why flowers open and close like this at particular times. The process is not as 3 as we might think, as recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were kept in constant 4 . We might expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they 5 do. As a matter of fact, they 6 to open at their usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious(神秘的) way of knowing the 7 . Their sense of time does not 8 information from the outside world; it is, so to speak, inside them, a kind of “inner clock”.This 9 may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just plants but also 10 , including man, have this “inner clock” which 11 the working of their bodies and influences their activities. Men, then, are also influenced by this mysterious 12 . Whether we wish it or not, it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep, our need for food.In the past, this did not really 13 because people lived in natural condition. In the 14 world, things are different; now there are spacemen, airplane pilots and, in ordinary life, a lot of people who have to work at night.

It should state 1 the job you want，and should tell what your abilities are and what you have 2 . It should be simple，human，personal and brief without 3 out any necessary fact. In writing a letter of application，bear in mind that the things a possible employer is most 4 to want to know about are your qualifications，your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. If the first few sentences fail to 5 the readers attention，the rest of the letter may not be 6 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not to your own need or desires. For example，instead of beginning with “I saw your 7 in todays paper.” You might say, “I have made a careful study of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives 8 your product and why they like it.”Try to 9 generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 10 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I 11 in a letter？Employers want experience，which，naturally，no 12 has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is 13 . It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 14 a specific request for an interview of giving the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent 15 is to enclose a stamped，selfaddressed envelope with your letter. That makes it easier for a possible employer to get in touch with you.1A. clearly Bcarefully Cobviously Deasily2A. found Bdone Cknown Dheard3A. sending Btaking Cleaving Dpicking4A. probable Bpossible Clikely Dable5A. pay Bwin Cshow Dfix6A. kept Bcontinued Cwritten Dread7A. advertisement Breport Carticle Dintroduction8A. change Bmake Csell Duse9A. avoid Bremember Cprotect Dgain10A. losing Bapplying Cpreparing Dfitting11A. inform Bsupply Cmean Dprovide12A. worker Bbeginner Cowner Dmanager13A. success Bdevelopment Cpractice Dexperience14A.

Without reconciliation (和解), we cannot deepen our understanding and only cause more suffering. Beginning Anew is a(n) 1 of reconciliation. It involves three steps sharing appreciation, expressing 2 , and expressing hurt and difficulties. In the first step, we share appreciation. We acknowledge the 3 qualities of the other person. The second stepexpressing regret, is to 4 with the other person our regrets for the things we have done or said that might have caused him or her 5 . This requires humility (谦逊), and the 6 to let go of our own pride. In the third step, we express our own hurt with mindful and loving 7 without blaming or criticizing. We speak in such a way that the other person can listen and 8 our words. If we blame the other person, his heart will 9 and he will not be able to hear us. We ask the other person to help us to understand why he has spoken and acted as he has, causing us so much pain. Perhaps, later, he can share his feelings so that we can understand him more deeply. If a strong 10 arises in us while we are expressing our suffering, we should simply 11 and come back to our breathing until the emotion becomes 12 .
