We all know that the normal human daily cycle of activity is of some 7~ 8 hours sleep alternating with some 16 ~ 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 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 wakefulness, 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, 8a.m. to 4 p. m. the next, and 4p.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.
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 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. [br] It is possible to find out if a person has adapted to the changes of routine by measuring his body temperature because
选项
A、body temperature changes when the cycle of sleep and wakefulness alternates.
B、body temperature changes when he changes to night shift or back.
C、the temperature reverses when the routine is changed.
D、people have higher temperatures when they are working efficiently.
答案
A
解析
末段第三句提到,在白天正常工作的人醒着时体温高,夜间体温低。当他们改成夜班制时,体温模式只会逐渐调整以便适应新的工作方式;一般来讲,调整的速度与整个身体一一在工作表现方面——调整同步,由此可知答案为[A],而排除[B]和[C](是因为当工作时间改变时,体温只会慢慢调整,以适应新的工作方式,而不能随意调来调去)。虽然文中提到了工作时体温高,但并没有说高效率工作时体温更高,因此排除[D]。
