Passage 1 App9um3:
The first navigational lights in the New World were probably lanterns hung at harbor entrances. The fast lighthouse was put tip by Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1716 on Little Brewster Island at the entrance to Boston Harbor. Paid forand maintained by "light dues" levied on ships, the original beacon was blown up in 1776. By then there were only a dozen or so true lighthouses in the colonic. Little over a century later, there were 700 lighthouses. *k (|r>
The first eight erected on the West Coast in the 1850's featured the same basic New England design: a Cape Cod dwelling with the tower rising from the center or standing close by. In New England and elsewhere, though., lighthouses reflected a Variety of architectural styles. Since most stations in the Northeast were built.on rocky eminences, enormous towers were not the rule. Some were made of stone and brick, others "of wood or metal. Some stood on pilings or stilts: some were fastened to rock with iron rods. "Farther south, from Marylandthreugh the Florida Keys, thecoast was low and sandy. It was often necessary to build tall towers there -- massive structures like the majestic Cape Hatteras. North Carolina. lighthouse, which was lit in 1870. At 190 feet it is the tallest brick lighthouse in the country. IKm_YQ$XOy
NOt withstanding differences in appearance and construction, mostAmerican lighthouses shared several features: a light, living quarters, and sometimes a bell ( or, later; a foghorn). They also had something else in common: a keeper and, usually, the keeper's family. The keeper's essential task was trimming the lantern (freekaobo.com)wick in order to maintain a steady, bright flame. The earliest keepers came from every walk of life --- they were seamen, farmers, mechanics, rough mill hands -- and appoint ments were often handed out by local customs commissioners as political plums. After the administration of lighthouses was taken over in 1852 by the United States Lighthouse Board, an agency of. the Treasury Department, the keeper corps gradually became highly professional. ]csfK${

Passage 2 \LI 2=J*
Every living thing has an inner biological clock that controls behavior. The clock works all the time even when there are no outside signs to mark the passing of time. The biological dock ]-D&/88``
tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to 4P(ysTuM
leave the protective cocoon and fly away. And it tells animals when to eat, sleep and wake. It c'LDHh7b
controls body temperature, the release of some hormones and even dreams.these natural daily |rhCQ"H
events are circadian rhythms. YM(`E9{h
Man has known about them for thousands of years. But the first scientific observation of Naqz":%.
Circadian rhythms was not made until 1729. In that year French astronomer. Jean-Jacques '(4#He?Gd
d'Ortous de Mairan, noted that one of his plants opened its leaves at the same time every VZRM=;V
morning, and closed them at the same time every night. The plant did this even when he kept f5droys9
it in a dark place all the time. Later scientists wondered about circadian rhythms .in humans. >.fN@8[
They learned that man's biological clock actually keeps time with-a day of-a litde less than 25 mDJg-BQ
hours instead of the 24 hours On a man-made clock. About four years ago an American doctor, zq?Iwyo
Eliot. Weitzman, established a laboratory to study how our biological clock works. The people in 1,/L&_=_A
his experiments are shut off from the outside world. They are free to listen to and live by their ' >F_y t9
circadian rhythms. Dr. Weitzman hopes his research will lead to effective treatments for $:aKb#l)
common sleep problems and sleep disorders caused by aging and mental illness. The laboratory is vA(')"DDT
in the Monteflore Hospital in New York City. It has two living areas with three small rooms in jl:dKL@
each. The windows are covered, so no sunlight or moonlight comes in. There are no radios or |iJ+e -_R
television receivers. There is a control room between the living areas. It contains computers, CK{.Ic^
one-way cameras and other electronic devices for observing the person in the living area; The 2Y2J)5,
instruments measure heartbeat, body temperature, hormones in the blood, other substances in G3.MS7J
the urine and brain waves during sleep. A doctor or medical technician is on duty in the control bN',-[E
room 24 hours a day during an experiment They do not work the same time each day and are not m&h5u,
permitted to wear watches, so the person in the laboratory has no idea what time it is. In the -54
first four years of research, Dr Weitzman and his assistant have observed 16 men between the z3lMD'uU3
ages of 21 and 80. The men remained in the laboratory for as long as six months. Last month, j1LL[+G-"_
a science reporter for The New York Times newspaper, Dava Sobol, became the first woman to S(5aJ[7Zm
tare part in the experiment. She entered the laboratory on June 13th and stayed for 25 days. GsG9;6c+u
Miss Sobol wrote reports about the experiment during that time, which were published in the j+p=ik
Newspaper. lk5}bnd5
