第4题

We all know that the normal human daily cycle of activity is some 7—8 hours' sleep alterna

ting with some 16—17 hours' wakefulness and that, broadly speaking, the sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness. Our present concern is how easily and to what extent this cycle can be modified.

The question is no more academic one. The ease, for example, with which people can change from working in the day to working at night, is a question of growing importance in industries where automation calls for round-the-clock working of machines. It normally takes from five days to one week for a person to adapt to a reversed routine of sleep and wakefulness, sleeping during the day and working at night. Unfortunately, it is often the case in industries where shifts are changed every week; a person may work from 12 midnight to 8 a.m. one week, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. the next, and 4 p.m. to 12 midnight the third and soon. This means that no sooner has he got used to one routine than he has to change to another, so that much of his time is spent neither working nor sleeping very efficiently.

The only real solution appears to be to hand over the night shift to a number of permanent

night workers. An interesting study of the domestic life and health of night-shift workers was carried out by Brown in 1957. She found a high incidence of disturbed sleep and other disorders among those on alternating day and night shifts, but no abnormal occurrence of these phenomena among those on permanent night work.

This latter system then appears to be the best long-term policy, but meanwhile something may be done to relieve the strains of alternate day and night work by selecting those people who can adapt most quickly to the changes of routine. One way of knowing when a person has adapted is by measuring his body temperature. People engaged in normal daytime work will have a high temperature during the hours of wakefulness and a low one at night; when they change to night work, the pattern will only gradually go back to match the new routine and the speed with which it does so parallels, broadly speaking, the adaptation of the body as a whole, particularly in terms of performance. Therefore, by taking body temperature at intervals of two hours throughout the period of wakefulness it can be seen how quickly a person can adapt to a reversed routine, and this could be used as a basis for selection. So far, however, such a form. of selection does not seem to have been applied in practice.

Why is the question of "how easily people can get used to working at night" not a mere academic question？

A．Because few people like to reverse the cycle of sleep and wakefulness.

B．Because shift work in industries requires people to change their sleeping habits.

C．Because people are required to work at night.in some fields of industries.

D．Because sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness.

"As I stood in front of the grave (墓) of President Richard Nixon, I was thinking about the time 25 years ago when this president helped bring the United States and China closer together. Young people of our two countries should help this relationship grow."

This remark was made by a Shanghai student when speaking to his fellow students at the Nixon Library in California, U.S.@A@He' was one of 80 middle school students from China attending a month-long" Youth Summit".

Seventy-five American students were selected to visit China. They also visited the Nixon Library on July 21 before leaving for Beijing the next day. The head of the Library said he was pleased to see the American and Chinese students talking and laughing together.

One Chinese student said,"I didn' t find it particularly difficult to talk with Americans. We have our differences, but we have a lot in common. Dialogue is good for us."

Who made the remark？

A．A student.

B．A teacher.

D．A president.

We all know that the normal human daily cycle of activity is of some 7-8 hours' sleep alte

rnating with some 16 to 17 hours' wakefulness and that, broadly speaking, the sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness. Our present concern is with how easily and to what extent this cycle can be modified.

The question is not mere academic one. The case, for example, with which people can change from working in the day to working at night is a question of growing importance in industry where automation calls insistently for round-the-clock working of machines. It normally takes from five days to one week for a person to adapt to reversed routine of sleep and wakefulness, sleeping during the day and working at night. Unfortunately, it is often the ease in industry tint shifts are changed every week; a person may work from 12 midnight to 8 a.m. one week, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. the next, and 4 p.m. to 12 midnight the third and so on. This means that no sooner has he got used to one routine than he has to change to another, so that much of his time is spent neither working nor sleeping very efficiently.

One answer would seem to be longer periods on each shift, a month, or even three months. Recent research by Bonjer of the Netherlands, however, has shown that people on such systems will revert to their normal habits of sleep and wakefulness during the weekend and that this is quite enough to destroy any adaptation to night work built up during the week.

The only real solution appears to be to hand over the night shift to a corps of permanent night workers whose nocturnal wakefulness may persist through all weekends and holidays. An interesting study of the domestic life and health of night-shift workers was carried out by Brown. She found a high incidence of disturbed sleep, digestive discord and domestic disruption among those on alternating day and night shifts, but no abnormal occurrence of these symptoms among those on permanent night work.

The article is mainly about ______.

A．how the normal human daily cycle works

B．how to deal with the problem of shift work

C．a research on the normal human daily cycle

D．how to work better

We all know that the normal human daily cycle of some 7-8 hours sleep alternating(交替) with some 16-17 hours wakefulness and that, broadly speaking, the sleep normally happens in the same period with the hours of dark- ness. Our present concern is how easily and to what extent this cycle can be modified.

The question is no mere academic one. The case, for example, with which people can change from working in the day to working at night is a question of growing importance for industry which calls for round-the-clock working of machines. It normally takes from five days to one week for a person to adapt to a reverse of sleep and wakefulness, sleeping during the day and working at night.

An interesting study of the domestic life and health of night-shift workers was carried out by Brown. She found a high incidence of disturbed sleep, digestive disorder and domestic breakup among those on alternating day and night shifts, but no abnormal occurrence of these symptoms among those on permanent night work.

The question raised in Para. 1 is no mere academic one because______.

A．Bonjer's findings are different from Brown's.

B．sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness.

C．some people can change their sleeping habits easily.

D．shift work in industry requires people to change the sleeping habits.
