　　Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is

how to dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus 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 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.

The technique of 55 heat and redistributing it is 56 “Heat recovery”. A few modern

buildings recover __57__, but the university’s system is the first to recover heat 58 some

buildings and reuse it in 59 . Along the way, Pitt has learned a great deal about some of

its heat producers. The 60 a student studies, the more heat his body 61 . Male students emit

more heat than 62 students. And the larger a student, the more heat he 63 . It is tempting

to 64 that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a 65 , overweight male

genius.

　　Passage 1

　　After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good

health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities 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 slows 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 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 sheep will put you to sleep!

　　A. Sleep B. Good Health

　　Passage 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.

　　Perceiving 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 in a row. For perception is the mind’s 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 which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the

results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people

perceive totally different things about the same scene.

　　A. the same action
