We have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day.
This is so familiar that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it. Yet no one really understands why
flowers open and close like this at particular times. The process (过程) is not as simple as we might think, as
recent experiments have shown. In one study, flowers were kept in constant (连续的) darkness. We might
expect that the flowers, without any information about the time of day, did not open as they normally do. In
fact, they continued to open at their usual time. This suggests that they have some mysterious (神秘的) way
of knowing the time. Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world; it is, so to
speak, inside them, a kind of "inner clock".
This discovery (发现) may not seem to be very important. However, it was later found that not just
plants but also animals -including man -have this "inner clock" which controls the working of their bodies and
influences (影响) their activities. Men, then, are also influenced by this mysterious power. 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 matter very much because people lived in natural condition. In the modern
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 would be very useful, then, to know more about the "inner clock". Such ordinary
things as flowers might help us understand more about ourselves.

You wouldn't steal a car. You would never rob (抢劫) a bank or pick someone's pocket. But you may be another kind of thief.
If you have ever bought a disc for 15 yuan or less, then you have helped to rob artists or musicians of their intellectual properly rights (知识产权).
Last Thursday was World Intellectual Property Day. Activities to tell people about intellectual property rights were held around the country.
Intellectual property includes inventions, literary (文学的) and artistic works, names, and pictures. They are of little value (价值) if they are not read, seen and used.
While the cost of copying discs is very small, authors, singers and actors have to spend a lot of money and time making a new product. That's why they have the right to make money from their work.
So buying pirated (盗版的) music of Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai is like stealing from them, paying them no respect for their hard work.
If Jay Chou cannot make money from his work, he may not make anything else. But those who make pirated goods are becoming rich without doing any hard work.
The authors should ask for a fair price for their work. Earlier this year there was much talk about how much KTV clubs should pay the music companies for using their songs.
The copyright fee (版权费) also should be fair to the users. That's good for the music's popularity and society as well.
【小题1】What is the author's attitude towards protecting (保护) intellectual property rights7
【小题2】Which of the following do intellectual property rights not cover?
【小题3】According to the article, which of the following is true?
A. Authors should ask for a high price for their work,
B, The copyright fee should ha fair to users.
C. Authors, singers and actors have no right to make money from their work,
D. Buying pirated music by Jay Chou is very good.
【小题4】What is the best title for the article?
