　　Passage 1

　　All living things live according to rules or patterns affecting when and how they do things. These rules are called biological rhythms. They affect every living thing in some way. Some scientists think that biological rhythms are related to the cycle of day and night and to the motion of the moon.

　　For example, flying squirrels are nocturnal animals. Nocturnal animals are active mostly at night. The flying squirrel becomes active at dusk and return to its nest at dawn. Even if the flying squirrel were kept in a dark room, it would sill be active mostly during the nigh-time hours. The squirrel would not be active during daylight hours, even though the squirrel could not see daylight. This inner control system is sometimes called a biological clock. A biological clock refers to inner controls that seem to be timed by outside or environmental events that happen in regular pattern. Some examples of these patterns are day and night, seasons, and tides.
