Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions
Sleep is food for the brain. During sleep, important body functions and brain activity occur. Skipping
sleep can be harmful, even deadly, particularly if you are behind the wheel. You can look bad, you may feel
moody, and you perform poorly. Sleepiness can make it hard to get along with your family and friends that hurt
your scores on school exams. Sleepiness can lead to aggressive or inappropriate behavior such as yelling at your
friends or being impatient with your teachers or family members. Sleep is vital to your well-being, as important
as the air you breathe, the water you drink and the food you eat. It can even help you to eat better and manage
the stress of being a teenager. Teenagers need about 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night to function best. Most
teens do not get enough sleep: one study found that only 15% reported sleeping 8 hours and a half on school
nights. Not getting enough sleep or having sleep difficulties can limit your ability to learn, listen, concentrate
and solve problems.
Teens tend to have irregular sleep patterns across the week- they typically stay up late and sleep in late
on the weekends, which can affect their biological clocks and hurt the quality of their sleep. Consuming
caffeine close to bedtime can hurt your sleep, so avoid coffee, tea, soda and chocolate late in the day, and you
can get to sleep at night. Nicotine and alcohol will also interfere with your sleep. A consistent sleep schedule
will help you feel less tired since it allows your body to get in synchronization with its natural problems. You
will find that it’s easier to fall asleep at bedtime with this type of routine.

A. Your scores can be low at school exams B. brain activity occurs during sleep
C. you look bad behind the wheel C. you don’t perform poorly#
32. To function best, teens should sleep _____.
A. 8 to 10 hours per night B. over 10 hours of sleep each night
C. at least 10 hours of sleep per night D. 8 hours and half on school nights

A. drinking tea close to bedtime B. staying up late across the week
C. having the same sleep pattern D. having coffee right before bedtime
34. The word “vital” in the first paragraph means _____.
A. advantaged B. necessary C. good D. beneficial

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions
Music influences people in different ways or the same person differently at different times. Music may
seem to influence people differently. That is because people can react differently to the music. We are able to
apply a choosing process to the music we hear. If someone hates jazz, then a jazz piece with a positive effect
will probably not make him feel good. A happy song might appear to make an angry person angrier, yet it is not
the music itself that is creating the anger; rather it is the positive effect of the music. The angry person does not
want to accept the song’s happy feeling: it points out his already existing anger, and makes that anger come to
the surface. When a piece of music is played and we are listening to it, our body, mind, and feelings are being
affected. The musicians of ancient cultures such as China, India, Turkey and Greece understood the effects of
music. In fact, Pathagoras, in ancient Greece, introduced a whole science that concerned them. Because the
