A Special Clock

It tells insects when to __________ the protective cocoon and fly away, and it tells animals and human beings when to eat, sleep and wake.

The fur becomes gray brown in _________ in the longer hours of daylight in summer.
Inner signals control other _________ clocks. German scientists found that some kind of internal clock seems to order birds to begin their long migration_________ twice each year. Birds _________ from flying become restless when it is time for the trip, _________ they become calm again when the time of the flight has ended.
