31、pm on the passenger ship California. The night was freezing cold and the water was filled with ice from the North Pole, making it difficult for the ship to sail on .In the radio room, operator Cyril Evans listened to the radio-talk between a nearby passenger ship and the telegraph station on the Can
32、adian island of Newfoundland. Evans interrupted it and said, “Were stopped and surrounded by ice. Be careful as you pass through these waters.” The radio operator on the nearby ship replied, “Im too busy to talk now. I have many messages to send to the telegraph station. ” Twenty minutes later, as h
33、e turned off his radio and went to bed, Evans could still hear the ship sending its passengers telegrams.Earlier in the evening the Californias captain, Stanley Lord, had seen another ship approaching. It looked about the size of his own, but attempts to contact the ship failed. It lay dark and myst
34、erious about 10 miles away. At 12:40 am there appeared a sudden flash of light just over the mystery ship.

35、p the mast of the mystery ship. Then at about 2:00 am it turned and slipped into the darkness.In the light of the sawn there was no mystery ship, but 20 miles away was the scene of a great disaster. Unfortunately, the mystery ship had stopped directly in front of the California, preventing people on
36、 board from seeing clearly. If this ship had not been there, Captain Lord would have recognized that the rockets were SOS rockets that came not from the mystery ship but from a more distant ship which the California could not see.

40、lier than usual that nightCthe Titanic started sinking at dawn the next dayDthe Titanic sent out many telegrams that nightEBaekeland and Hartmann report that the “short sleepers” had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men
41、voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.In general, these “short sleeps” appeared ambitious, active, ene
42、rgetic, cheerful, conformist(不动摇) in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or workers full-or part-time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “normal” or “acceptable” to their friends and associates.When asked to
43、 recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.The sleep pa
44、tterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic(疯人).The “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enj
45、oy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers.”Many of the “long sleepers” were shy, anxious, introverted (内向), inhibited (压抑), pass
46、ive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly states that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.21.
