34、 normally 三、 PART IV GRAMMAR 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 tem

35、perature 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. 91 Why is the questi

36、on of “how easily people can get used to working at night“ no mere academic one? （ A） Because few people like to reverse the cycle of sleep and wakefulness. （ B） Because sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness. （ C） Because people are required to work at night in some fields of industry.

37、 （ D） Because shift work in industry requires people to change their sleeping habits. 92 The main problem of the round-the-clock working system lies in （ A） the inconveniences brought about to the workers by the introduction of automation. （ B） the disturbance of the daily cycle of workers who have

38、to change shifts too frequently. （ C） the fact that people working at night are often less effective. （ D） the fact that it is difficult to find a number of good night workers. 93 It is possible to find out if a person has adapted to the changes of routine by measuring his body temperature because （

39、 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. 94 Which of the fo

40、llowing statements is NOT true? （ A） Body temperature may serve as an indication of a workers performance. （ B） The selection of a number of permanent night shift workers has proved to be the best solution. （ C） Taking body temperature at regular intervals can show how a person adapts to the changes

41、 of routine. （ D） Disturbed sleep occurs less frequently among those on permanent night or day shifts. 95 It is implied in the last paragraph that a low body temperature indicates that a person （ A） has just been awake from sleep. （ B） can not work night shifts. （ C） should go to sleep at once. （ D）

42、 is less productive. 95 Marianne Montgomery was timid and unadventurous, her vitality consumed by physical activity and longing, her intelligence by indecisiveness, but this had less to do with the innate characteristics of her weaker sex (as her father, Creighton Montgomery, called it) than with th

43、e enfeebling circumstances of her upbringing. Creighion Montgomery had enough money to mould his daughters according to his misconceptions: girls were not meant to fend for themselves so he protected them from life. Which is to say that Marianne Montgomery grew up without making any vital choices fo

44、r herself. Prevented from acquiring the habits of freedom and strength of character which grow from decision-making, very rich girls, whose parents have the means to protect them in such a crippling fashion, are the last representatives of Victorian womanhood. Though they may have the boldest manner

45、s and most up-to-date ideas, they share their great-grandmothers humble dependence. Most parents these days have to rely on their force of personality and whatever love and respect they can inspire to exert any influence over their children at all, but there is still an awful lot of parental authori

46、ty that big money can buy. Multimillionaires have more of everything than ordinary mortals, including more parent power, and their sons and daughters have about as much opportunity to develop according to their own inclinations as they would have had in the age of absolute monarchy. The rich still h

47、ave families. The great divide between the generations, which is so much taken for granted that no one remarks on it any longer, is the plight of the lower and middle classes, whose children begin to drift away as soon as they are old enough to go to school. The parents cannot control the school, an

48、d have even less say as to what company and ideas the child will be exposed to; nor can they isolate him from the public mood, the spirit of the age. It is an often-heard complaint of the middle-class mother, for instance, that she must let her children watch television for hours on end every day if

49、 she is to steal any time for herself. The rich have no such problems; they can keep their offspring busy from morning to night without being near them for a minute more than they choose to be, and can exercise almost total control over their environment. As for schooling, they can hand-pick tutors with sound views to come to the children, who may never leave the grounds their parents own, in town, in the country, by the sea, unless f
