问题     The normal human daily cycle of activity is of some 7-8 hours’ sleep alternation with some 16-17 hours’ wakefulness and that the sleep normally coincides【C1】______the hours of darkness. Our present concern is with how easily and to what extent this【C2】______can be modified.
    The question is no mere academic one. The ease with which people can change from working in the day to working at night is a【C3】______of growing importance in industry where automation【C4】______round-the-clock working of machines. It normally【C5】______form five days to one week for a person to adapt to a【C6】______routine of sleep and wakefulness, sleeping during the day and working at night. 【C7】______, it is often the case in industry that shifts are changed every week. This means that no sooner has he got used to one routine【C8】______he has to change to another, 【C9】______much of his time is spent neither working nor sleeping every 【C10】______. One answer would seem to be【C11】______periods on each shift, a month, or even three months. 【C12】______recent research has shown that people on such systems will revert to go back to their【C13】______habits to sleep and wakefulness during the week-end and that this is quite enough to destroy any【C14】______to night work built up during the week. The only real solution appears to be to hand over the night shift to those permanent night workers whose【C15】______may persist through all weekends and holidays.  
【C11】
选项 A、shorter
B、better
C、longer
D、nicer
答案C
解析 此处应选择C。此句话的意思是：一个解决方案似乎是延长每个周期，一个月，甚至是三个月。period“时间，周期”；由后面的“a month，or even three months”可知此处指的是“换班持续的时间更长一些”。所以选择longer。
