Passage 1 nI6gd%C
The first navigational lights in the NewWorld were probably lanterns hung at harbor entrances. The fast lighthouse wasput tip by Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1716 on Little Brewster Island at theentrance to Boston Harbor. Paid forand maintained by "light dues"levied on ships, the original beacon was blown up in 1776. By then there wereonly a dozen or so true lighthouses in the colonic. Little over a century later,there were 700 lighthouses. h0<PQZJ
The first eight erected on the West Coast inthe 1850's featured the same basic New England design: a Cape Cod dwelling withthe tower rising from the center or standing close by. In New England andelsewhere, though., lighthouses reflected a Variety of architectural styles.Since most stations in the Northeast were built.on rocky eminences, enormoustowers were not the rule. Some were made of stone and brick, others "ofwood or metal. Some stood on pilings or stilts: some were fastened to rock withiron rods. "Farther south, from Marylandthreugh the Florida Keys, thecoastwas low and sandy. It was often necessary to戀甀椀氀搀 tall towers there -- massive structures like the majestic CapeHatteras. North Carolina. lighthouse, which was lit in 1870. At 190 feet it isthe tallest brick lighthouse in the country. #*bmwb*i
NOt withstanding differences in appearanceand construction, mostAmerican lighthouses shared several features: a light,living quarters, and sometimes a bell ( or, later; a foghorn). They alsohad something else in common: a keeperand, usually, the keeper's family. Thekeeper's essential task was trimming the lantern wick in order to maintain asteady, bright flame. The earliestkeepers came from every walk of life --- they were seamen, farmers, mechanics,rough mill hands -- and appoint ments were often handed out by local customscommissioners as political plums. After the administration of lighthouses wastaken over in 1852 by the United States Lighthouse Board, an agency of. theTreasury Department, the keeper corps gradually became highly professional.

Passage 2 vX:}tir[
Every living thing has an inner biologicalclock that controls behavior. The clock works all the time even when there areno outside signs to mark the passing of time. The biological dock m[}P
tells plants whento form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to /1EAj
leave theprotective cocoon and fly away. And it tells animals when to eat, sleep andwake. It IWE([<i}i[
controls bodytemperature, the release of some hormones and even dreams.these natural daily egu{}5
events arecircadian rhythms. b~zSsws.
Man has known about them for thousands ofyears. But the first scientific observation of jf3Zy:*K
Circadian rhythmswas not made until 1729. In that year French astronomer. Jean-Jacques == wX.y\.n
d'Ortous de Mairan,noted that one of his plants opened its leaves at the same time every r<0E[
~
morning, and closedthem at the same time every night. The plant did this even when he kept >SXSrXyYX
it in a dark placeall the time. Later scientists wondered about circadian rhythms .in humans. &>qUT]w
They learned thatman's biological clock actually keeps time with-a day of-a litde less than 25 hJM&rM7
hours instead ofthe 24 hours On a man-made clock. About four years ago an American doctor, 6La[( )
Eliot. Weitzman,established a laboratory to study how our biological clock works. The people in g}%ODa !H
his experiments areshut off from the outside world. They are free to listen to and live by their ZSu.0|0#
circadian rhythms.Dr. Weitzman hopes his research will lead to effective treatments for qe.QF."y
common sleepproblems and sleep disorders caused by aging and mental illness. The laboratoryis e_b,{l#
in the MontefloreHospital in New York City. It has two living areas with three small rooms in Bj7*2}
each. The windowsare covered, so no sunlight or moonlight comes in. There are no radios or jV2H61d
televisionreceivers. There is a control room between the living areas. It contains computers, nZioFE}
one-way cameras andother electronic devices for observing the person in the living area; The Onx6Fy]L
instruments measureheartbeat, body temperature, hormones in the blood, other substances in 2E40&
the urine and brainwaves during sleep. A doctor or medical technician is on duty in the control d~8U1}dP
room 24 hours a dayduring an experiment They do not work the same time each day and are not ~m=GS[=
permitted to wearwatches, so the person in the laboratory has no idea what time it is. In the CzV;{[?~;
first four years ofresearch, Dr Weitzman and his assistant have observed 16 men between the 437Wy+Q|e
ages of 21 and 80.The men remained in the laboratory for as long as six months. Last month, =OK#5r[UV
a science reporterfor The New York Times newspaper, Dava Sobol, became the first woman to -o+t

No very satisfactory account of themechanism that caused the formation of the ocean basins has yet been given. Thetraditional view supposes that the upper mantle of the earth behaves as aliquid when it is subjected to small forces f0r long periods and thatdifferences in temperature under oceans and continents are sufficient toproduce convection inthe mantle of the earth with rising convection currentsunder the mid-ocean ridges and sinking currents under the continents.Theoretically this convection would carry the continental plates along asthough they were on a .conveyor belt and would provide the forces needed toproduce the split that occurs along the ridge. This view may be correct; it has the advantage that the currents aredriven by ~`E4E
temperaturedifferences that themselvesdepend on the position of the moving'plate has animpact <Y2!c,"
on the forces thatmove it, could produce complicated and varying motions. z0[ZO1Fo(
On the other hand, the theory isimplausible because convection does not normally occur wS0bk<(
愀氀漀渀最 lines, and it certainly does not occuralong lines broken by frequent offsets or changes in U9 *2< c
搀椀爀攀挀琀椀漀渀, as the ridge is. Also it isdifficult to see how the theory applies to the plate between )x &@j4,
琀栀攀 Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the ridge in theIndian Ocean. This plate iS growing on both sides 2QRn
c"
and since there isno intermediate trench, the two ridges must be moving apart; It would be odd }z+"3A|
if the risingconvection currents kept exact pace with ~them: An alternative theory is thatthe yo,!u\^x
sinking part of theplate, which is denser than the hotter surrounding mantle, pulls the rest of U.'@S8
the plate after it.Again it is difficult to see how this applies to the ridge in the SouthAtlantic, PZJ
4:h
where neither theAfrican nor the American plate has a sinking part. MjC%6%HI
Another possibility is that the sinkingplate Cools the neighboring mantle and produces convection currents that movethe plates. This last theory is attractive because it gives some hope ofexplaining the enclosed seas, such as the Sea of Japan. These seas have atypical oceanic floor except that the floor is overlaid by several kilometersof sediment. Their floors have probably been Sinking for.long periods. It seemspossible that a sinking current of cooled mantle material onthe upper side ofthe plate might be the cause of such deep basins. The enclosed seas are animportant feature of the earth's surface and seriously require 'explanationbecause, in addition to the enclosed seas flint are devdoping at present behindisland ares, there are a number of older ones of possibly similar origin, suchas the Gluf of Mexico, the Black Sea, and perhaps the North Sea. 1<`7MN
