Passage 1 DZ|*hQU>K
The first navigational lights in the NewWorld were probably lanterns hung at harbor entrances. The fast lighthouse wasput tip by Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1716 on Little Brewster Island at theentrance to Boston Harbor. Paid forand maintained by "light dues"levied on ships, the original beacon was blown up in 1776. By then there wereonly a dozen or so true lighthouses in the colonic. Little over a century later,there were 700 lighthouses. $!O@Z8B
The first eight erected on the West Coast inthe 1850's featured the same basic New England design: a Cape Cod dwelling withthe tower rising from the center or standing close by. In New England andelsewhere, though., lighthouses reflected a Variety of architectural styles.Since most stations in the Northeast were built.on rocky eminences, enormoustowers were not the rule. Some were made of stone and brick, others "ofwood or metal. Some stood on pilings or stilts: some were fastened to rock withiron rods. "Farther south, from Marylandthreugh the Florida Keys, thecoastwas low and sandy. It was often necessary to戀甀椀氀搀 tall towers there -- massive structures like the majestic CapeHatteras. North Carolina. lighthouse, which was lit in 1870. At 190 feet it isthe tallest brick lighthouse in the country. v +4v
NOt withstanding differences in appearanceand construction, mostAmerican lighthouses shared several features: a light,living quarters, and sometimes a bell ( or, later; a foghorn). They alsohad something else in common: a keeperand, usually, the keeper's family. Thekeeper's essential task was trimming the lantern wick in order to maintain asteady, bright flame. The earliestkeepers came from every walk of life --- they were seamen, farmers, mechanics,rough mill hands -- and appoint ments were often handed out by local customscommissioners as political plums. After the administration of lighthouses wastaken over in 1852 by the United States Lighthouse Board, an agency of. theTreasury Department, the keeper corps gradually became highly professional. mI8EeMa{

Passage 2 k1,k 9BK
Every living thing has an inner biologicalclock that controls behavior. The clock works all the time even when there areno outside signs to mark the passing of time. The biological dock yu6~:$%H
tells plants whento form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to cB,^?djJ3
leave theprotective cocoon and fly away. And it tells animals when to eat, sleep andwake. It ) k/&,J3
controls bodytemperature, the release of some hormones and even dreams.these natural daily bkJ bnW=
events arecircadian rhythms. ,t 2CQ
Man has known about them for thousands ofyears. But the first scientific observation of s{dm,|?Jl,
Circadian rhythmswas not made until 1729. In that year French astronomer. Jean-Jacques "[ LUv5
d'Ortous de Mairan,noted that one of his plants opened its leaves at the same time every ~ n<|f
morning, and closedthem at the same time every night. The plant did this even when he kept Vu(NP\Wm
it in a dark placeall the time. Later scientists wondered about circadian rhythms .in humans. jN+`V)p
They learned thatman's biological clock actually keeps time with-a day of-a litde less than 25 U,2OofLM
hours instead ofthe 24 hours On a man-made clock. About four years ago an American doctor, vGyQ306
