THE BIG SLEEP.
Since the time immemorial we have put our trust in a good nights
sleep to help us look and feel better. And with good reason: sleep
restores the body, builds out muscles, strengthens bones and the
immune system and helps skin cell to regenerate. But just how much
sleep we really need is a matter of debating. Back in the 19th century
King Alfred the Great was the first to decide that a third of the day-

eight hours- should be spent in asleep. Though we still use Alfreds
idea like a yardstick, we all find the sleep patterns which suit us best.
While its true that too much or too little of sleep can cause headaches,
drowsiness, lack of energy and irritability, its the quality of sleep
rather than the quaintity, which matters. Since mans earliest days, all
sorts of medicines and drugs has been tried to achieve deep,
untroubled sleep. However, to get away from artificial methods,
exercising during the day and avoiding such indigestible food, caffeine-
filled drinks and alcohol just before bedtime can help you to sleep
better. And the right kind environment is very important. You need to
be in darkness, warm-but not too warm- and comfortable.

Section 3. Read the passage then choose the best answer to each question that follows.
Subversive Art
Subversive political and social messages are a mainstay of the art community. In most modern
democratic nations, where free speech is considered an inalienable right, such subversive art is
easily found. American film is a fine example of this. Many American films are openly critical of
American society and its values. Apocalypse Now, a film about the Vietnam War, is a withering
attack on America's involvement and conduct in that conflict. In a more modern setting, African-
American film director Spike Lee makes films which depict America as a racist and unjust
society. Other arts are filled with examples of subversive art as well. There are countless
paintings and sculptures which openly attack Christianity and other values which are
considered to be core aspects of America's identity. Punk Rock, which originated in England,
derided many of England's most sacred of social values. Most famously, the 1970s punk band
The Sex Pistols frequently sang songs about overthrowing the government, even going so far as
to describe the Queen of England as subhuman.
Not all subversive art is as upfront in its social criticism. Much of subversive art is quietly
subversive. There are a number of reasons for this. The first is, of course, economics. An artist
who is too open or too vehement in his or her criticism of society may find it hard to find an
audience willing to pay for such art. In some societies there may be a fear of retribution, either
by the government or by individual society members offended by the artist's message. Nor are
such fears unfounded. Author Salman Rushdie was forced to go into hiding after he wrote a book
that Muslims took to be critical of their religion. Therefore, the subversive messages in art are
often hidden.
One common method of hiding subversive messages in ones art is through the use of an
unreliable or untenable viewpoint. In this method, the artist actually presents a viewpoint that
is in opposition to his or her own, but does so in such a way as to render that viewpoint
unbelievable in the eyes of the audience. American author Mark Twain was a master at this. The
narrator in his most famous novel is a young boy named Huck Finn. Huck supports the values of
his society. For example, one of the justifications used by Americans to keep Africans enslaved
was that they were somehow less human than whites. There is a scene in which Huck finds his
friend Jim, a runaway slave, crying to himself because he misses his children whom he has left
behind in slavery. Huck is surprised by this, and comments that it seems remarkable that Jim, a
slave, could feel sadness for the loss of his children in the same way a white person would. This
observation is so absurd that it discredits the entire notion of slaves somehow being less human
than their masters.
Mark Twain was not the only artist to hide the subversive nature of his work. In earlier times,
prior to the printing press and the mass production of posters, artists depended on the support
of wealthy individuals to make their living. A rich noble who appreciated the work of an artist
would become his or her patron and support the artist. In return the artist was generally
expected to create art that the patron approved of, and herein was the problem.
These wealthy nobles represented the social elite, which in most cases was exactly the element
of society which artists wished to criticize. One could hardly expect a patron to pay for art that
was openly critical of his social class, so artists became experts in concealing the subversive
message in their art. A close look at any of the great artists of history, da Vinci, Shakespeare,
Milton, etc. will reveal many hidden elements of social subversion.
