29、eriment that shows a good nightsleep can improve insight( 洞 察力 ) andproblem- solving.“ If you have some newly acquired memories in your brain, sleep acts on thesememories, restructures( 重构 ) them, so that after sleep the insight into a problem which you couldnot solve before increases,” said Dr. Jan

30、 Born, a neuroscientist, at the university.

No Evidence, But Well FoundedD.Born s DiscoveryOnSleepCThree passions（激情） , simple but extraordinarilystrong, have governed my life: thelonging for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering o

37、f mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me here and there, in a wayward( 随意的 ) course, over a great ocean of suffering, reaching to the very edge of despair.I have sought love, first, because it brings great joy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a f

38、ew hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness，in which one trembling consciousness looks over the edge of the world into the cold lifeless abyss(深渊 ). I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen the prefiguring vision of the heavens that saints（

39、圣人） and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what at last I have found.With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to understand

40、 the Pythagorean(毕达哥拉斯的 ) power by which number holds control of flexibility. A little of this,but not much, I have achieved.Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Cries of pain resound in my heart. Children in famin

41、e, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a ridiculous image of what human life should be.

45、ne family and its chief. The old father was weighed down by his deep sorrow,but whatever his feelings of guilt and regret for the past, the stern （ stubborn and strict ） old mannever mentioned his son s name.About three weeks later a letter was sent on to him by Dobbin, now promoted to major. Itwas

46、George s farewell to his father, written at dawn on the day of the battle.The poor boy lettersdid not say much. He was too proud to show his feelings. He onlywished his father goodbye, and begged for his help for his wife, and it might be the child, whomhe left behind. He spoke regretfully of his fo

47、rmer waste of money, thanked his father forhisgenerosity in the past, and promised that whether he fell on the field, or lived through the battle,he would act in a manner worthy of his family name.Mr. Osborne dropped the letter with the bitterest feeling of disappointed love and revenge(报复). His son

48、 was still beloved and unforgiven.Towards the end of the autumn, the old man told his daughters that he was going abroad. Hedid not say where, but they knew at once that his steps would be turned towards Belgium, and thatGeorge s widow wastills in Brussels.Many of the wounded were still there, recov
