As I came near to the gates I turned off the headlamps of the car so as to prevent the beam (光荣) from swinging (摇摆) in through the window and waking Jack, who shared the house with me. But needn’t have done so, I noticed that his light was stillon, so he was awake anyway--- unless he had fallen asleep while reading. I put the car away and went up the steps, Then I opened the door quietly and went to Jack’s room. He was in bed awake but he didn’t even turn towards me.“What’s up, Jack” I said.“For God’s sake (看在上帝面上), don’t make a noise,” he said.The way he spoke reminded me of someone in pain who is afraid to talk in case he does himself a serious injury (伤害).“Take your shoes off, Neville,” Jack said.I thought that he must be ill and that I had better humour (迁就) him to keep him happy, “There’s a snake here” he explained, “It’s asleep between the sheets. I was lying on my back reading when I saw it. I knew that moving was o ut of the question. I couldn’t have moved even if I’d wanted to .” I realized that he was serious. “I was relying on you to call a doctor as soon as you came home.” Jack went on.” It hasn’t bitten me yet but I daren’t do anything to upset it. It might wake up. I’m sick of this,” he said, ：” I took it for granted that you would have come home an hour ago.”There was no time to argue or apologize for being late. I looks at him as encouragingly as I could and went out to telephone the doctor.36. When he got home, Neville found that _ C_____A. Jack had fallen asleep while readingB.

AI Herpin, it was said, never slept, Could this be true The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.AI Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey.

He never needed one.The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness.
