共用题干Are You Getting Enough Sleep?What happens if you don't get enough sleep? Randy Gardner,a high school student in the United States,wanted to find out. He designed an experiment on the effects of sleeplessness for a school science project. With doctors watching him carefully,Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours and 12 minutes.That's eleven days and nights without sleep!What effect did sleeplessness have on Gardner? After 24 hours without sleep,Gardner started havingtrouble reading and watching television. The words and pictures were too blurry(模糊).By the third day,he was having trouble doing things withhis hands. By the fourth day, Gardner was hallucinating(产生幻觉).For example,when he saw a street sign,he thought it was a person.He also imagined he was a famousfootball player. Over the next few days, Gardner's speech became so slurred(不清楚)that people couldn't understand him.He also had trouble remembering things.By the eleventh day, Gardner couldn't pass acounting test.In the middle of the test he simply stopped counting.He couldn't remember what hewas doing.When Gardner finally went to bed,he slept for 14 hours and 45 minutes.The second night he slept for twelve hours,the third night he slept for ten and one-half hours,and by the fourth night,he had returned tohis normal sleep schedule.Even though Gardner recovered quickly,scientists believe that going without sleep can be dangerous.

共用题干SemcoAt 21,Ricardo Semler became boss of his father's business in Brazil,Semco,which sold parts for ships. Semler Junior worked like a madman,from 7:30 a. m.until midnight every day.One afternoon,while touring a factory in New York,he collapsed.The doctor who treated him said,"There's nothing wrong with you.But if you continue like this,you'll find a new home in our hospital." Semler got the message.He changed the way he worked.In fact,he changed the way his employees worked too.He let his workers take more responsibility so that they would be the ones worrying when things went wrong. He allowed them to set their own salaries,and he cut all the jobs he thought were unnecessary,like re-- ceptionists and secretaries._______________ (46)"Everyone at Semco,even top managers,meets guests in recep- tion,does the photocopying,sends faxes,types letters and dials the phone."He completely reorganized the office:instead of walls,they have plants at Semco,so bosses can't shut themselves away from everyone else._______________ (47)As for uniforms,some people wear suits and others wear T-shirts.Semler says,"We have a sales manager named Rubin Agater who sits there reading the newspaper hour after hour. He doesn't even pretend to be busy.But when a Semco pump on the other side of the world fails and millions of gallons of oil are about to spill into the sea,Rubin springs into action.______________(48) That's when he earns his salary. No one cares if he doesn't look busy the rest of the time."Semco has flexible working hours;the employees decide when they need to arrive at work.The employees also evaluate their bosses twice a year.______________ (49)It sounds perfect,but does it work?The answer is in the numbers:in the last six years,Semco's revenues have gone from$35 million to $212 million.The company has grown from eight hundred employees to 3,000.Why?Semler says it's because of"peer pressure".Peer pressure makes employees work hard for everyone else._______________ (50)In other words,Ricardo Semler treats his workers like adults and expects them to act like adults.And they do.__________(47)A:This saved money and brought more equality to the company.B:He knows everything there is to know about our pumps and how to fix them.C:And the workers are free to decorate their workspace as they want.D:Most managers spend their time making it difficult for workers to work.E:If someone isn't doing his job well,the other workers will not allow the situation to continue.F: Also,Semco lets its workers use the company's machines for their own projects,and makes them take holidays for at least thirty days a year.

Passage TwoThe thought of not sleeping for twenty-four hours or more is not a pleasant one for most people.The amount of sleep that each person needs varies.In general,each of us needs about eight hours of sleep each day to keep our bodies healthy and happy.Some people,however,can get by just a few hours of sleep at night.It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps.But everyone needs some rest to stay alive.Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception on this.Sleep is,after all,a very basic need.But a man named AI Herpin turned out to be a real exception,for supposedly,he never slept!A1 Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersey.They hoped to negate the claims that he never slept.But they were surprised.Though they watched him every hour of the day,they never saw Herpin sleeping.He did not even own a bed.He never needed one.The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a half dozen news-papers.His doctors were baffled by this strange case of permanent insomnia.Herpin offered the only clue to his condition.He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days be-fore he had been born.Herpin died at the age of 94,never having slept a wink.The most likely reason on Herpion's insomnia was______A.his mother's injury before he was bornB.that he never got tiredC.his magnificent physical conditionD.that he got enough rest rocking
