       There are times when people are so tired that they fall asleep almost anywhere. We can see there is a lot of sleeping on the bus or train on the   36   home from work in the evenings. A man will be reading the newspaper, and seconds later it appears as if he is trying to  37  it. Or he will fall asleep on the shoulder of the stranger   38  next to him.  39   place where unplanned short sleep goes on is in the lecture hall where a student will start snoring（打鼾）so loudly that the professor has to ask another student to   40   the sleeper awake.
