people communicatewith each other.Because of these devices,ideas and news of events spreadquickly all over the world.For example,within seconds,people can knowthe results of an election in another country.An international football matchcomes into the homes of everyone with a television set.News of a disaster,such as a flood,can bring help from distant countries.Within hours,help ison the way.This is because modern technology information travels fast.How has this speed of communication changed the world?To manypeople,the world has become smaller.Of course,this does not mean thatthe

to cross theoceans.In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,it took,six weeks fornews from Europe to reach the Americas.This time difference influencedpeoples actions.For example,a few battles in the War of 1812 betweenEngland and the United States could have been avoided.A peace agreementhad already been signed.Peace was made in England,but the news of peacetook six weeks to reach America.During these six weeks,the large andserious Battle of New Orleans was fought.Many people lost their lives aftera peace treaty had been signed.They would not have died if news had comein time.In the past,communication took much more time than it does now.There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it doestoday.6.Thanks t o,we can gain brand-new ideas and news of

复）begins.The tired mind gathers new energy.Once awake,the memoryimproves,and annoyance and problems are seen in a better perspective.Some adults require little sleep;others need eight to ten hours in everytwenty-four.Infants sleep sixteen to eighteen hours daily and,as they growolder,the amount gradually diminishes.Young students may need twelve hours;university students may need ten.A worker with a physically demanding jobmay also need ten,whereas an executive worker under great pressure maymanage on six to eight.Many famous people are reputed to have required littlesleep.Napoleon,Thomas Edison and Charles Darwin apparently averaged onlyfour to six hours a night.Whatever your individual need,you can be sure that by the age of thirtyyou will have slept for a total of more than twelve years.By that age you willalso have developed a sleep routine:a favorite hour,a favorite bed,a favoriteposition,and a fonnula you need to follow in order to rest comfortably.Investigators have tried to find out how long a person can go without sleep.Several people have reached more than 115 hours?nearly five days,whereasanimals kept awake for from five to eight days have died of
