We all know that the normal human daily cycle of activity is of some 748 hours’ sleep alternating with some 16,417 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 no mere 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 industry 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 wakeful-ness, sleeping during the day and working at night. Unfortunately, it is often the case in industry that 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 an- other, 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 some- thing 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 day- time 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 adjust gradually 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" no mere academic one?
选项
A、Because few people like to reverse the cycle of sleep and wakefulness.
B、Because sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness.
C、Because people are required to work at night in some fields of industry.
D、Because shift work in industry requires people to change their sleeping habits.
答案
C
解析
根据第二段,在某些自动化要求机器全天候运转的企业中,人们要实行轮班,人们从白天工作转入夜晚工作的难易程度越来越成为人们关注的问题。换言之,如何安排好轮班、使工人适应新班——尤其是上夜班来提高工作效率,对这些企业来说不只是一个学术(academic)问题,而是一个很实际的问题,直接影响到工作和生活。B表达的内容虽然在第一段中提到了,但并不是用来说明处理好上夜班的问题为什么是个很实际的问题。
