Last Saturday morning, my mother and I were taking bus home I told her how much her English teacher Miss Smith loved me, saying I was the teacher’s favourite student. I didn’t know Miss Smith’s mother is sitting behind us. On Monday, Miss Smith kept chat with me after class. To my shames, she told me that what her mother had heard. I thought she would scold me for talking too proud on the bus, so she didn’t . She said, “The important thing is that you work for yourself, not as my approval. If you feel that doing well matter to you, you will become your own fan.”

A new study suggests that the timing of a wound affects the speed at which it heals (治愈). Wounds suffered during the day heal around 60 percent faster than those at night.
The study showed how the bodies’ circadian rhythm (昼夜节奏) controlled the healing of wounds. 1. It tells our bodies when to wake up, eat and sleep in a circle — a series of activities that repeat themselves day after day. 2.
In the study, researchers found that skin cells moved faster to repair wounds suffered during the day. Their findings were published in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
The researchers examined cells, mice, and burn injury databases. 3.
Night-time burns — burns suffered between 8 o’clock at night and 8 o’clock the next morning — were 95 percent healed after an average of 28 days.
But after on average of 17 days, daytime burns — burns suffered between 8 o’clock in the morning and 8 at night — were 95 percent healed. 4.
Wounds are very costly to treat. 5. In Britain’s National Health Services, for example, such services cost around $6.56 billion per year. Experts say the high cost result, in part, from a lack of drugs that speed up the closure of wounds.
A.Each cycle lasts about 24 hours.
B.The circadian rhythm is like a clock or timer.
C.Specifically, their investigation found the following information.
D.The new study’s findings could help scientists develop better drugs.
E.In other words, night-time injuries took an average of 11 days longer to heal.
F.Worldwide, billions of dollars are spent every year on wound-treatment services.
G.That’s what a group of researchers from a university in Canada recently published.
