单选题We all know that the normal human daily cycle of activity is of some 748 hours' sleep alternating with some 16,417 hours' wakefulness and that, broadly speaking, the sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness. Our present concern is with how easily and to what extent this cycle can be modified. The question is no mere academic one. The ease, for example, with which people can change from working in the day to working at night is a question of growing importance in industry where automation calls for round the-clock working of machines. It normally takes from five days to one week for a person to adapt to a reversed routine of sleep and wakeful-ness, sleeping during the day and working at night. Unfortunately, it is often the case in industry that shifts are changed every week: a person may work from 12 midnight to 8 a. m. one week, 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. the next, and 4 p. m. to 12 midnight the third and so on. This means that no sooner has he got used to one routine than he has to change to an- other, so that much of his time is spent neither working nor sleeping very efficiently. The only real solution appears to be to hand over the night shift to a number of permanent night workers. An interesting study of the domestic life and health of night shift workers was carried out by Brown in 1957. She found a high incidence of disturbed sleep and other disorders among those on alternating day and night shifts, but no abnormal occurrence of these phenomena among those on permanent night work. This latter system then appears to be the best long-term policy, but meanwhile some- thing may be done to relieve the strains of alternate day and night work by selecting those people who can adapt most quickly to the changes of routine. One way of knowing when a person has adapted is by measuring his body temperature. People engaged in normal day- time work will have a high temperature during the hours of wakefulness and a low one at night; when they change to night work the pattern will only adjust gradually back to match the new routine and the speed with which it does so parallels, broadly speaking, the adaptation of the body as a whole, particularly in terms of performance. Therefore, by taking body temperature at intervals of two hours throughout the period of wakefulness it can be seen how quickly a person can adapt to a reversed routine, and this could be used as a basis for Selection. So far, however, such a form of selection does not seem to have been applied in practice.

Never has a straitjacket seemed so
ill-fitting or so insecure. The Euro area's "stability and growth pact" was
supposed to stop irresponsible member states running excessive budget deficits,
defined as 3% of GDP or more. Chief among the restraints was the threat of large
fines if member governments breached the limit for three years in a row. For
some time now, no one has seriously believed those restraints would hold. In the
early hours of Tuesday November 25th, the Euro's fiscal straitjacket finally
came apart at the seams. The pact's fate was sealed over an
extended dinner meeting of the Euro area's 12 finance ministers. They chewed
over the sorry fiscal record of the Euro's two largest members, France and
Germany. Both governments ran deficits of more than 3% of GDP last year and will
do so again this year. Both expect to breach the limit for the third time in
2004. Earlier this year the European Commission, which polices the pact, agreed
to give both countries an extra year, until 2005, to bring their deficits back
into line. But it also instructed them to revisit their budget plans for 2004
and make extra cuts. France was asked to cut its underlying, cyclically adjusted
deficit by a full 1% of GDP, Germany by 1.8%. Both resisted.
Under the pact's hales, the commission's prescriptions have no force until
formally endorsed in a vote by the Euro area's finance ministers, known as the
"Eurogroup". And the votes were simply not there. Instead, the Eurogroup agreed
on a set of proposals of its own, drawn up by the Italian finance minister,
Giulio Tremonti. France will cut its structural deficit by 1.8% of GDP next
year, Germany by 0. 6%. In 2005, both will bring their deficits below 3%,
economic growth permitting. Nothing will enforce or guarantee this agreement
except France and Germany's word. The European Central Bank (ECB) was alarmed at
this outcome, the commission was dismayed, and the smaller Euro-area countries
who opposed the deal were apoplectic: treaty law was giving way to the
"Franco-German steamroller", as Le Figaro, a French newspaper, put it.
This anger will sour European politics and may spill over into
negotiations on a proposed EU constitution. Having thrown their weight around
this week, France and Germany may find other smaller members more reluctant than
ever to give ground in the negotiations on the document. The EU's midsized
countries also hope to capitalize on this ressentiment. Spain opposes the draft
constitution because it will give it substantially less voting weight than it
currently enjoys. It sided against France and Germany on Tuesday, and will point
to their fiscal transgressions to show that the EU's big countries do not
deserve the extra power the proposed constitution will give
them.
