45、ess average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens.

46、me interruptions in their daily routines. In general, these short sleepers appeared ambitious, active, energetic and cheerful. They stuck to their opinions, and were very sure about their job choices.They often held several jobs at once, or worked full-or part-time while going to school. And many of

47、 them had a strong urge to appear normal or acceptable to their friends and colleagues. When asked to remember their dreams, the short sleepers did poorly.

The sleep patterns of the short sleepers were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic (躁狂者). The long sleepers were quite different indeed. Baekeland and

49、 Hanmann report that these young men have been lengthy sleepers since childhood.

When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to the Comoros Islands in the Indian Ocean on June 30, 2009, the black box is the best method for identifying what went wrong.

56、e(潜水艇) discovered its homing signal five days later, it marked a huge step toward determining the cause of the disaster in which 152 passengers were killed. In 1958.
