From diary entries and other personal【C2】______ from the 18th and 19th centuries, sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9.5 hours a night.

Whenever pressures from work, family, friends and community mount, many people consider sleep the least【C7】______ item on the agenda.

选项
答案

解析
