People who are prevented from sleeping begin to suffer obvious effect after a few days —they think less clearly,and they fall asleep during the working hours. Some may have hallucinations（幻觉）.There are no rules about sleep. Generally speaking, grown-ups sleep about seven and a half hours each night and probably more than 60 percent get between seven and eight hours. But perhaps eight percent are quite happy with five hours or less, and four percent or sofind that they want ten hours or more. If you feel all right, you're probably gettingenough sleep. The important thing is not to worry how much other people get —their needs may be different. Exercise doesn't seem to increase the need for sleep, office workers,for example, sleep for about as long as people doing physically active work.Children sleep more than grown-ups —perhaps fourteen to eighteen hours soon after birth, going down to grown-up levels by early teenage. Sleep patterns also tend to bedifferent in the elderly, who may sleep less at night than they did when younger. Theyfind sleep getting more broken, and often make it a rule to sleep during the daytime.36.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburg set themselves the opposite problem —how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which utilizes not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no conventional fuel is needed to make the campus's six buildings comfortable.Some parts of most modern buildings —theaters and offices as well as classrooms —are more than amply heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called "heat recovery". A few modern buildings recover heat, but the university's system is the first to recover heat from some buildings and reuse it in others.Along the way, Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers. The harder a student studies the more heat his body gives off. Male students emit more heat than female students. And the larger a student, the more heat he produces. It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hardworking, overweight male genius.41. Which of the following is true of the heating system of the designers of theJohnstown campus?A) The heat is supplied by human bodies.B) The heat is supplied by both human bodies and other heat-emitting objects.C) The heat is supplied by both human bodies and conventional fuel.D) The heat is supplied by conventional fuel and heat-emitting objects.42. The technique of heat recovery is used to ____________.A) find out the source of heatB) produce a special form of air conditioningC) provide heat for the hot water systemD) collect and reuse heat43. Which of the following persons would produce the least amount of heat?A) A fat female who studies hard.B) A thin female who does not study hard.C) A fat male who does not study hard.D) A thin male who studies hard.44. In the last sentence, the "hottest prospect" refers to ____________.A) the person who produces most heatB) the person who suffers most from heatC) the person who takes in most heatD) the person who withstands most heat45. A good title for this passage would be ____________.A) Modern Building's Heat System.B) A Heat Recovery system.C) A New idea about Heating.D) Recovery of Body's Heat.Task 3Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions (No. 46through No. 50) to it.
