There must be few questions on which responsible opinion is so utterly divided as on that of how much sleep we ought to have. There are some who think we can leave the body to regulate these matters for itself. "The answer is easy," says Dr. A. Burton. "With the right amount of sleep you should wake up fresh and alert five minutes before the alarm rings." If he is right, many people must be undersleeping, including myself. But we must remember that some people have a greater inertia than others. This is not meant rudely. They switch on slowly, and they are reluctant to switch off. They are alert at bedtime and sleepy when it is time to get up, and this may have nothing to do with how fatigued their bodies are, or how much sleep they must take to lose their fatigue.
Other people feel sure that the present trend is towards too little sleep. According to one medical opinion, thousands of people drift through life suffering from the effects of too little sleep; the reason is not that they can’t sleep. Like advancing colonists, we do seem to be grasping ever more of the land of sleep for our waking needs, pushing the boundary back and reaching, apparently, for a point in our evolution where we will sleep no more. This in itself, of course, need not be a bad thing. What could be disastrous, however, is that we should press too quickly towards this goal, sacrificing sleep only to gain more time in which to jeopardize our civilization by actions and decisions made weak by fatigue.
Then, to complete the picture, there are those who believe that most people are persuaded to sleep too much. Dr H. Roberts, writing in Every Man in Health, asserts. "It may safely be stated that, just as the majority eat too much, so the majority sleep too much." One can see the point of this also. It would be a pity to retard our development by holding back those people who are gifted enough to work and play well with less than the average amount of sleep, if indeed it does them no harm. If one of the trends of evolution is that more of the life span is to be spent in gainful waking activity, then surely these people are in the van of this advance.
The author disagrees with Dr. Burton because______
选项
A、few people can wake up feeling fresh and alert
B、some people still feel tired with enough sleep
C、some people still feel sleepy with enough sleep
D、some people go to bed very late at night
答案
C
解析
本题的相关信息为文章的第一段。Dr.Burton的观点是:人的身体会自我调节。衡 量睡眠时间是否适当的标准就是醒来时是否精力充沛并能在闹钟响起前5分钟自己醒来。作者紧接着用由 if 引导的条件句侧面否认了Dr.Burton的观点。这句话隐含的意思就是:大多数人醒来时还是有睡意的,难道说他们都睡眠不足吗?因此,只有C项正确理解了这句话的内在含义。
