He moved(移动) from one to another to fall asleep.他是个著名的发明家，而不是作家，故C项错误。根据第一段提到Benjamin Franklin, the famous inventor, had four beds. He moved(移动) from one to another to fall asleep.50岁以后才会睡眠6.5小时故D项错误。

【3】A 细节推断题。根据最后一段提到King Louis XI V (国王路易十四) of France had four hundred and thirteen beds and hoped to fall asleep in one of them他有四百三十多张床，希望能在某张床上快速睡着。.故选A项。
