        Most adults sleep between seven and nine hours，but occasionally people turn up who need twelve hours or so，while some rare types can get by on three or four. Rarest of all are those legendary types who require almost no sleep at all; respected researchers have recently studied three such people. One of them—a healthy，happy woman in her seventies—sleeps about an hour every two or three days. The other two are men in early middle age，who get by on a few minutes a night. One of them complains about the daily fifteen minutes or so he’s forced to “waste” in sleeping.

        [E] Practically all people，and many other animals as well，exhibit a desire to predict their future circumstances.

        [F] We learn that getting an education will affect how much money we earn later in life and that swimming beyond the reef may bring an unhappy encounter with a shark.

        [G] That is，the effects occur more often when the causes occur than when the causes are absent—but not always.

        [H] Sharks，on the other hand—whether or not they reason the matter through—may learn that hanging around the reef often brings a happy encounter with unhappy swimmers.
