Passage One

A recent study indicates that the “short sleepers”had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 0r so, the men voluntarily began cutting clown their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.

In general, these“short sleepers”appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful,conformist in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often heldseveral jobs at once, or work full-or part-time while going to school. And many of them hada strong urge to appear “normal”or “acceptable” to their friends and associates , When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers”did poorly. More than this,they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble woula go away.

The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic.

The“long sleepers”were quite different indeed. According to the study, these young men had lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers”。

Many of the“long sleepers” were shy, anxious, introverted, inhibited, passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly state that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.

According to the study, ( ).

A. many short sleepers need less sleep by nature

B. many short sleepers are obliged to reduce their nightly sleep time because they are busy with their work

C. long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the day

D. many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during their childhood

C. Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleep.

D. Short sleepers would be better off with more rest.

During sleep, the fatigue (疲劳) of the body disappears and recuperation ( 恢复) begins. The tired mind gathers new energy. Once awake, the memory improves, and annoyance and problems are seen in a better perspective.

Some adults require little sleep; others need eight to ten hours in every twenty-four. Infants sleep sixteen to eighteen hours daily and, as they grow older, the amount gradually diminishes. Young students may need twelve hours; university students may need ten. A worker with a physically demanding job may also need ten, whereas an executive worker under great pressure may manage on six to eight. Many famous people are reputed to have required little sleep. Napoleon, Thomas Edison and Charles Darwin apparently averaged only four to six hours a night.

Whatever your individual need, you can be sure that by the age of thirty you will have slept for a total of more than twelve years. By that age you will also have developed a sleep routine: a favorite hour, a favorite bed, a favorite position, and a formula you need to follow in order to rest comfortably. Investigators have tried to find out how long a person can go without sleep. Several people have reached more than 115 hours ?nearly five days, whereas animals kept awake for from five to eight days have died of exhaustion. The limit for human beings is probably about a week.
