When I crossed a small road on my first day in Kolkata, I was surprised because I heard a bell-not a horn (喇叭), It was a tiny man pulling a rickshaw, He stopped and picked up two children from the front door of their house and pulled them to school. For many people, the rickshaw in Kolkata has many advantages, When the traffic is bad, rickshaws find a way through the traffic. If your miss your bus and there aren't any taxis, you can always find a rickshaw in Kolkata. Rickshaws are from your house to the market and waits for you. Then he loads (装载)all your things, drops you off outside your home and helps you unload, No other type of public transport offers this kind of service.
From June to September, Kolkata gets heavy rain. Sometimes it rains for 48 hours without a break. In some parts of the city, the roads flood (水淹), and anything with an engine(发动机) is useless, But the rickshaw drivers never stop working, even with water all around them.
But not everyone thinks rickshaws are a good thing. The local government want to ban rickshaws. They believe it is wrong for one man to pull another person when there is modern transport in the city. However, there is a problem with this plan. Many of the rickshaw drivers come from the countryside. The only job they can find in Kolkata is pulling a rickshaw, If the city bans rickshaws, these men won't have a job. So for the mom

查看习题详情和答案>>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.

B. will not open any longer

D. Neither animals nor plants
