Sentence
Teaching is one of the easiest
jobs in the world...
...Teaching WELL is one of the most difficult!
In linguistics, a sentence is a grammatical unit of
one or more words, bearing minimal syntactic relation to the words that precede
or follow it, often preceded and followed in speech by pauses, having one of a
small number of characteristic intonation patterns, and typically expressing an
independent statement, question, request, command, etc. Sentences are generally
characterized in most languages by the presence of a finite verb, e.g. "The
quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".

The secrets of sleep
The secret of sleep were a mystery for centuries simply because there was
neither the means to explore them, nor the need. Only when candles gave away to
gaslight, and gas to electricity, when man became able to convert night into
day, and double his output by working shifts round the clock, did people
seriously start wondering if sleep could possibly be a waste of time. Our
ability to switch night into day is very recent, and it is questionable if we
will ever either want, or be able, to give up our habit of enjoying a good
night's sleep. However, a remarkable research project in London
A lot of recent work has shown
that too much sleep is bad for you, so that if you are fortunate enough to be
born with a body which needs only a small amount of sleep, you may well be
healthier and happier than someone who sleeps longer.
Every attempt to unravel the
secret of sleep, and be precise about its function, raises many problems. The
sleeper himself cannot tell what is going on and, even when he wakes, has only
a very lazy idea of how good or bad a night he has had. The research is
expensive and often unpopular, as it inevitably involves working at night. Only
in the last few years have experts come up with theories about the function of
sleep and the laws which may govern it
The real advance in sleep
research came in 1937 with the use of the electroencephalogram. This machine
showed small – 50 microvolt – changes in the brain, so, for the first time, we
could observe sleep from moment to moment. Before that time one could put the
person to bed, watch him mumble, toss, turn, bring back a few rough memories of
dreams and that was about all. In 1937 it was possible to read out these
changes, second by second. Then in 1959 two other things happened.
Kleitman and Aserinky, as they were looking at eye movements, trying to
understand the brainwaves, noticed that after about ninety minutes there would
be a burst of the EEG, as if the person is a wake, and the eyes would move
rapidly. It was not hard to guess that maybe that was a dream. And indeed it
was. Waking up people during that period, they found they were dreaming; waking
them up at other periods, they found no dreams.
The electroencephalograph shows
that when we fall asleep we pass through a cycle of sleep stages. At the onset
of sleep, the cycle lasts about ninety minutes during which you pass through
stages one, two and three to stage four. This is the deepest form of sleep, and
from it you retreat to stage two, and from there into REM, or rapid eye
movement sleep. Here, for ten minutes on the first cycle and then gradually
longer, it is thought that we do most of our dreaming.
Studies of people who
volunteered to be locked up for weeks in an observation chamber with no idea of
whether it is night or day, give remarkable results. We are not, in fact,
twenty- four – hour creatures. Put people in such circumstances and, even
though the patterns of sleep continue, the day is extended to about twenty
–five and a half hours. Without any clues to time, these people go to sleep the
first night about an hour later than usual, the next night an hour later, and
the next night. So that, after about ten days, the person is going to sleep at
three o'clock in the afternoon, thinking that he is still going to sleep at
midnight.
Today, jet – lag is a familiar
hazard for the seasoned traveler. Travel across time zones plays havoc with the
biological cock rhythms of human body. For the active pilot, who is rarely in
one place long enough to know if it is time for breakfast or dinner, the impact
of jet- lag on his sleep is critical.
Several air disasters have been partly caused by over tired pilot ignoring the
natural laws of sleep. Much research is directed to finding out what these laws
are and to what extent pilots and astronauts dare disobey them. But they are
laws which affect all of us, not just pilots.
