At the beginning of this century, medical scientists made an interesting discovery; we are built not just of flesh and blood but also of time. They were   1   to show that we all have “a body clock”   2    us, which controls the   3   and fall of our body energies,   4   us different from one day one to the next.

The   5   of “a body clock” should not be too   6   since the lives of most living things are controlled   7   the 24 hour night-and-day cycle. We feel   8   and fall asleep at night and become   9   and energetic during the day. If the 24 hour-cycle is   10   , most people experience unpleasant   11   . For example, people who are not   12   to working at night can find that   13   of sleep causes them to   14   badly at work.

Mars is not, it seems, the dry old planet we once believed    （1）    ．Astronauts who are     （2）    to go there in the next decade may find plenty    （3）   water to slake （消除） their thirst．And with water present the    （4）    of finding some sort of life of Mars are    （5）    brighter．

       This is the view of forty geologists who have been analyzing    （6）    of pictures and other scientific    （7）    obtained by robot explorers in the sixties and seventies．

       To begin with, scientists thought the Red planet was as    （8）    as the Moon    （9）    dust storms swirling over vast sandy    （10）    ．But now the picture is very different    （11）    mountains and valleys carved by    （12）    glaciers and rivers rushing and rumbling deep underground．

       In a report on the analysis of the Martian pictures Dr．Michael Car of the U．S．Geological Survey comments: “I am convinced    （13）    lots of water on Mars．” Any surface water will be in the    （14）    of ice．But it could save explorers from    （15）    to take so much    （16）    with them．

       The report says    （17）   Mars probably had a warmer climate in ages    （18）    due to its axis （轴） having been more tilted （倾斜） towards the sun．

       （19）     signs of plant or animal life have been detected by instruments landed on Mars,    （20）    the landing vehicles have been sent there for a few years．

I had a very special teacher many years ago whose husband died suddenly of a heart attack. About a week after his  41 , she shared her insights(顿悟) with the students. When the class was nearly over, she 42   and said, “I would like to  43  with all of you a thought that has  44  to do with class, but which I feel is very _45 .

“Each of us is put here on the _46  to learn, share, love and appreciate ourselves. None of us knows when this _47  will end. At any moment it can be _48 . Perhaps this is life’s way of telling us that we must make good _49 of every day.” Her eyes beginning to _50 ,she went on saying, “So I would like you all to  51  me. From now on, on your way home, find something _52 to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see——it could be scent(香味) of fresh bread, or it could be the  53  of the wind slightly rustling(发出沙沙声) the leaves.”

“Please look for these things, and  54  them. The little things are put here on the earth for us to enjoy. They are _55 observing, for at any time they can all be taken away.”

The class was totally quiet. We all picked up our books and went out of the room_56 . That afternoon, on my way home I noticed_57  things than before. Every time I think of that teacher and remember what a(n) 58 she made on all of us, I try to  59  all of those things that sometimes we all ignore. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often regret, 60 the things we didn’t do.
