The beginning of our sleep deficit crisis can be【C1】______ to the invention of the light bulb a century ago. 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. By the 1950s and 1960s, that sleep schedule had been reduced【C3】______ to between 7.5 and 8 hours, and most people had to wake to an alarm clock. "People cheat on their sleep, and they don’t even【C4】______ they’re doing it," says Dr. David.

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

I) slightly J) traced K) detaches L) vigorous
M) inspiration N) accounts O) drive [br] 【C7】
选项
答案
