The idea of a ‘body clock’ should not be too       because the lives of most living things are controlled by the 24-hour night-and-day cycle (循环). We feel       and fall asleep at night. We become       and energetic during the day. Most people will have a bad feeling if the 24-hour cycle is      . For example, people who are not used to working at night can find that lack (缺少) of sleep causes them to      badly at work.

       the daily cycle of sleeping and waking, we also have other cycle which lasts longer than one day. Most of us would       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.
