According to a recent survey of over 20,000 people
in the Netherlands, about 30 per cent of visits to
doctors involve complaints about being tired all the
time. Some 20 per cent of people in the US report
having experienced fatigue intense enough to
interfere with living a normal life. This hits them in
their pockets, too. Namely, workers who are
unproductive because of fatigue cost US employers
more than $100 billion a year. Until recently, daytime
tiredness was presumed to be nothing more
mysterious than simple physical exhaustion or feeling
the need to sleep .The US Center for Disease
Control and Prevention estimates that 35 per cent of
people are short on sleep. Combine that with the fact
that tiredness is subjective and therefore difficult to
measure; in addition, it is hard to measure as the
subject falls somewhere between studies of the body
and mind. And considering these, it is no wonder
fatigue has largely escaped scientific scrutiny. Since
tiredness accompanies so many common diseases,
not to mention ordinary ageing, a better
understanding of its causes could improve quality of
life for pretty much everybody. A handful of
researchers are now trying to figure out the causes,
and possible fixes.
39. According to the passage, it is difficult to
study fatigue scientifically because ----.
A) it is a novel area of research with limited
resources and staff
B) there are various factors to be considered

C) it is a natural result of the ageing process
and working life
D) the number of scholars in the field is not

E) it is nothing but just physical exhaustion or
the need to sleep

Humility. Empathy. Selflessness. These are qualities
most of us associate with being a “nice person”. But
being nice doesnot often help you in the fierce
competition to get that job, win a project or secure a
promotion. No one likes an egocentric big-head but if,
as they say, “you are your own brand”, perhaps in
this modern world it pays to be a bit narcissistic. In
other words, so long as you can show your unique
features, a little egoism inflicts no damage. The truth is
that although narcissists may be deluded, they can
benefit from their inflated self-image and desire for
others to recognise their superiority. We think we
dislike them, but research shows we actually tend to
judge them as more confident, intelligent and attractive
than other people. This means they are more
successful in job interviews, more likely to become
leaders, and preferred by the opposite sex. There’s
even evidence that narcissistic artists sell more and get
higher prices for their work. A new understanding of
narcissism suggests why, when and how it might be
beneficial. It reveals that when it comes to success in
life, there is a “right” and a “wrong” sort of narcissism.
So if you are struggling with work or a relationship,
perhaps you should become a bit more narcissistic.
42. We learn from the passage that ------.
A) humility, empathy and selflessness are
enough to be a good citizen
B) being nice is more important than winning a
project
C) it is not that easy to get promoted by being
nice alone
D) an egocentric person is always more
preferable than a normal one in art
