Other problems are emotional disorders and difficulty __58__ thinking. The treatments for __59__ were discussed at a recent meeting of the Association of Professional Sleep Societies. The group's sleep experts say there are three kinds of insomnia. One __60__ is called transient insomnia. It __61__ just a few days. It is a result of moderate tension. The tension can be caused by a long airplane flight or a brief stay in a hospital. __62__ kind is called short-term insomnia. It lasts several weeks and results from more __63__ tension.

In the spring of 1720, when all of London was clamoring for shares in the South Sea company, Sir Isaac Newton was asked what he though about the market. “I can calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of the market,” the scientist and master of the mint is reputed to have replied.?
71. Newton should have considered seriously his own wise words. Having sold his ￡7,000 of stock in the company, he later bought back in at the top of the boom and went down for ￡20,000. Like all the other mug punters in every bout of speculative fever, Newton was cleaned out when the crash came.?
Little has changed in the intervening 280 years.?
72. Common to every bubble is the deeply-rooted belief that this time it will be different, that the rise in the price of an asset is rooted in the sound common sense rather than in recklessness, stupiity and greed.?
Take the crash of 1929, for example. In his excellent book charting the sad history of bubbles, John Moody, the founder of the credit agency intoned in 1927 that “no one can examine the panorama (全貌) of business and finance in America during the past half-dozen years without realizing that we are living in a new era.”?
The Yale economist Irving Fisher declared a few weeks before the October crash that stock prices had reached a “permanently high plateau”. Why was this? Simple. The creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 had abolished the business cycle, while technological breakthroughs had created a “new economy” that was much more profitable than the old.?
73. As share prices continued their heady rise, traditional methods of stock market valuations were abandoned. It did not matter that many of the start-up companies of the late 1920s were not making any money: what counted was that some day they surely would. So share prices were justified by discounted future earnings.?

According to the feedback from many employing units, in recruiting college graduates, what they attach more importance to is graduates' qualities rather than their professional knowledge. With in-depth educational reform and stricter requirements of every discipline, graduates have mastered some professional knowledge fairly solidly. The problem is that some graduates consider is not how to bring their potential into full play but to seek merely for a high level of salary and excellent treatment and conditions. So a pressing task for colleges and universities is to cultivate students' responsibility for the society.?

Should All College Course Be Specifically Related to a Future Occupation??
Recently there has been a heated discussion in a newspaper as to whether all college courses should be specifically related to a future occupation. As this is a controversial issue, opinions vary from person to person. Some college students are of the opinion that all the college courses should be closely associated with their future occupation because the professional knowledge they have acquired will directly be used in the work after their graduation.?
On the contrary, some other college students take quite a different attitude to this question. In their views, not all college courses should be specifically related to their future occupation. Some professional courses should be so because they would not be a layman if they had the chance of using their specialties after their graduation. It is unnecessary for optional courses to be related to their future career. Maybe such courses won't apply to their future jobs.?
In my opinion, even if none of your college courses are related to your future profession, it doesn't matter. What really counts is to master some basic knowledge and operate some skills proficiently when they are at college. A college graduate from Peking University has no chance to use his professional knowledge. But he can still make a living by selling pork in the street. In fact, this example indicates that it is difficult for all college courses to be specifically related to a future occupation.
