Scientists used to believe that our 24-hour cycle of sleeping and walking was governed entirely by external factors. The most notable of these, they thought, was the rising and setting of the sun. they have now established that there is a daily rhythm to a wide range of biological functions - including temperature, digestion and mental activity - are regulated internally by a special time-keeping mechanism within the brain.
The main function of this “body clock” is to anticipate and for external changes so that, for example, our body temperature starts to rise around dawn, gearing us up for the day, and begin to fall in the early evening, winding us down for sleep.
Some people's body clocks keep poorer time than others, which can greatly disturb their lives and even their health. Insomnia, depression, fatigue, poor work and even accidents can all be caused or aggravated by inaccurate body clocks.
Read the following passage and mark the correct answer to each of the following questions.
There is growing evidence that urbanization has a sharp impact on climate, causing changes that can wreak havoc on precipitation patterns that supply the precious resource of water. The heavy amounts of heat and pollution rising from cities both delay and stimulate the fall of precipitation, depriving some areas of rain while drenching others.
Cities are on average one to ten degrees warmer than the surrounding undeveloped areas. Cities also produce large amounts of pollutants called aerosols, gaseous suspensions of dust particles or by products from the burning of fossil fuels, Both heat and pollutants change the dynamics of clouds. When hoisted up in the sky, the microscopic particles act as multiple surfaces on which the moisture in clouds can condense as tiny droplets. This can prevent or delay the formation of larger raindrops that fall more easily from the sky, or it can cause the rain to fall in another location.
In California, pollution blows eastward and causes a precipitation shortage of around one trillion gallons a year across the Sierra Nevada mountain range. By contrast, in very humid cities, such as Houston, heat and pollutants seem to invigorate summer storm activity by allowing clouds to build higher and fuller before releasing torrential rains.
The fact that urbanization plays a part in climate change can be ____.
One of the changes in climate by urbanization is _____ .
In cities, the rain patterns have been altered because of _____ .
What does the phrase “wreak havoc on" in paragraph 1 probably mean?
