The secrets of sleep were a mystery for centuries simply because there was neither the means (51) them, nor the need. Only when candles gave way (52) gaslight, and gas to electricity, when man became able to (53) night into day, and double his output by working shifts round the clock, did people seriously start wondering (54) sleep could possibly be a waste of time. Our ability to switch night into day is very recent, and it is (55) if we will ever (56) want, or be able to give up our habit of (57) a good night’s sleep. (58) , a remarkable research project in London has already discovered a few people who actually enjoy insomnia. Even chronic insomniacs often get hours more sleep. (59) they think. But, by placing electric contact (60) the eyes and on the head, it is possible to check their complaint by studying the tiny currents we generate which (61) the different brainwaves of sleep and (62) . This has shown that for some people seven or eight hours sleep a night are quite unnecessary.
(63) recent work has shown that (64) sleep is bad for you, so that if you are fortunate enough to be born with a body which needs only a small (65) of sleep, you may well be healthier and happier than someone who sleeps longer.

You can’t choose the name you are given at birth, but in many countries you can change it legally when you reach adulthood. Of course, most people never change their names (51) they feel unhappy about them. However, some people do (52) this course of action—particularly artists! What makes an artist want to change their name Sometimes it’s for purely (53) reasons, such as the Nobel Prize winning poet from Chile, Neflali Reyes. He didn’t want his father to (54) he was writing poetry, so he changed his name to Pablo Neruda when he was a young man. (55) other times the reason may appear eccentric; take the case of the Portuguese poet Femando Pessoa, (56) wrote under 75 different names. The reason is "When I use a different name, I always write in a different way," he explained. In most cases, (57) ,the reason is for social, historical, political, or cultural reasons. Here are some of most (58) .
The person’s real name is jus (59) long and difficult to remember. Let’s be honest, Madonna Louise Ciccone is not as (60) to remember as just plain "Madonna". And short names are much easier to remember: William Bradley became Brad Pitt and Edson Arantes do Nascimento became Pele.
Sometimes names are changed for marketing (61) .For example, if a name sounds too "foreign", it may be changed to something that is more recognizable in a (62) .

Artists sometimes (64) the name of someone they admire. Robert Zimmennan changed his name to Boo Dylan because of his admiration for the Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas.
Another reason may be practicality: in the past, women found it very difficult to get published. To (65) this situation the situation they sometimes gave themselves men’s names, so the English author Mary Ann Evans became George Eliot, and she did get her books published!

? ?Since about 1800, near the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, coal, petroleum, and gas have been used at a rapidly increasing rate. The supply of these {{U}}?(51) ?{{/U}} is limited, and electric power is very scarce in many places. Some scientists believe solar energy is the only {{U}}?(52) ?{{/U}} which can meet the world’s enormous {{U}}?(53) ?{{/U}} for power. Great progress had been made in harnessing the sun. Not {{U}}?(54) ?{{/U}} is the sun now used in cooking, but it also supplies power for {{U}}?(55) ?{{/U}} things as beacon lights for ships and airplanes.
