Passage Two
There must be few questions on which responsible opinion is so utterly divided as on that of how much sleep we ought to have.There are some who think we can leave the body to regulate these matters for itself.“The answer is easy,”says Dr.A.Burton.“With the right amount of sleep you should wake up fresh and alert fve minutes before the alarm rings.”If he is right many people must be undersleeping, including myself.But we must remember that some people have a greater inertia than others.This is not meant rudely.They switch on slowly,and they are reluctant to switch off.They are alert at bedtime and sleepy when it is time to get up,and this may have nothing to do with how fatigued their bodies are,or how much sleep they must take to lose their fatigue.
Other people feel sure that the present trend is towards too little sleep.To quote one medical opinion,“Thousands of people drift through life suffering from the effects of too little sleep”;the reason is not that they can’t sleep.This in itself,of course,need not be a bad thing,what could be disastrous, however,is that we should press too quickly towards this goal,sacrifcing sleep only to gain more time in which to jeopardize our civilization by actions and decisions made weak by fatigue.
Then,to complete the picture,there are those who believe that most people are persuaded to sleep too much.One can see the point of this also.It would be a pity to retard our development by holding back those people who are gifted enough to work and play well with less than the average amount of sleep,if indeed it does them no harm.If one of the trends of evolution is that more of the life span is to be spent in gainful waking activity,then surely these people are in the van of this advance.

Passage Three
The breasts are a profound source of female self-image.Cancer of the breast may seriously affect a woman’s perception of her identity,and breast loss can be very psychologically damaging.Therefore, most breast cancer centers employ counselors.The role of the counselor is to help people adjust to the physical and psychological blow of breast cancer.About 30%of women with the disease suffer from prolonged anxiety and depression,which are natural responses to the loss of a breast or fear of the disease.Women who fail to adjust often have other life crises such as divorce or unemployment.These psychological problems can be helped by referral to a psychiatrist(specialist in mental illness),who may recommend psychotherapy or medications to aid recovery.Physical and sexual rehabilitation can be helped by providing the woman with an adequate prosthetic device(breast form)and by encouraging the woman and her partner to discuss sexual problems in an open way.
The decision to use prosthesis or to undergo breast reconstruction usually is based on the woman’s own body image.Other key factors include her level of physical activity,style of clothing,and her willingness to reveal the diagnosis of breast cancer to others.
The majority of women can return to normal employment after any type of breast cancer surgery.In addition,most are able to enjoy all types of physical recreation,including swimming and golf.
