问题     It doesn’t matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That’s what all doctors thought, until they heard about AI Herpin. AI Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.
    AI Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.
    The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure.
    Herpin died at the age of 94.
After watching him closely, the doctors came to believe that AI Herpin______.

选项 A、was too old to need any sleep
B、often slept in a chair
C、needed no sleep at all
D、needed some kind of sleep

答案C

解析 事实细节题。医生们仔细观察Herpin几天之后,他们从未没有看见他睡觉。实际上他也没有一张床,所以他们认为Herpin根本不需要睡觉。故选C。
