The usual problem is how to dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown c
19、ampus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves about the 51 problem -how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which utilizes not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well 52 no conventional
20、fuel is needed to make the campus six buildings comfortable. Some parts of the buildings - theatres and offices 53 classrooms - are more than amply heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned 54 in winter.

Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the acti
25、vities of the day before. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles (肌肉) relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain sl
26、ows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other. Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyes
27、are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement. If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting

30、hoursC.not stated in the passageD.about eight hoursPassage 2 Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it. Percei
31、ving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children
32、 in a row. For perception is the minds interpretation of what his senses in this case our eyes tell us. Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in whi
