Students who stay up all night to cram for an exam are doing themselves more harm than good, according to research into
the link between sleep and memory published yesterday.
Scientists at Harvard Medical School discovered that people who deprive themselves of sleep so that they can study until
the last minute are unlikely to remember anything that would improve their performance, while suffering the crippling effects of
fatigue. The scientists found that the brain needs good-quality sleep immediately after practicing a task if it is to learn to
improve at it. Those who substitute study for sleep, particularly those who miss deep or “slow-wave” sleep will get little benefit
from their extra effort.The findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, add to a growing body of evidence that sleep is vital to
the learning process. The results, Professor Stickgold said, suggest that a good night’s sleep immediately after learning is
“absolutely required” to embed new skills in the memory. “We think that the first night’s sleep starts the process of memory
consolidation,” he said. “It seems that memories normally wash out of the brain unless some process nails them down. My
suspicion is that sleep is one of those things that nails them down.”
Question 34. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Tips to Succeed on Exam Day B. Pressure among Students at School
C. Sleep Better than Midnight Oil on Eve of Exams D. How to Have a Good Sleep at Night?

Question 37. According to paragraph 2, what did the Harvard Medical School discover?
A. Exhaustion is the biggest reason why students fail their exams.
B. People will have a better memory if they sleep only 3 hours a day.
C. ‘Deep sleep’ is not essential for studying and memory recollection.
D. Those who study instead of sleeping have little chance of passing their exams.
Question 38. Which of the following is NOT mentioned, according to the passage?
A. Sleep is the only thing that can help a learner process new information.
B. It’s not a good idea for students to stay up late to study for their exams instead of sleeping.
C. Sleep kickstarts a process of memory retention.
D. A good night’s sleep is vital if a person wants to improve their memory.

A poll of more than 850 primary, secondary and further education staff by the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL)
found that while boys' behaviour at school remains more challenging than girls, both have got worse over the past five years,
according to more than half of respondents.
In the survey, a primary school teacher from Bedfordshire said: "Boys are generally more physical and their behaviour is more
noticeable. Girls are often sneakier about misbehaving, they often say nasty things which end up disrupting the lesson just as
much as the boys, as other children get upset and can’t focus on their work. They are usually the ones who refuse to comply with
instructions." In schools that have excluded pupils, 57 per cent of education staff said that more boys have been excluded for
challenging behaviour.
Among both sexes, low-level disruption such as talking and not paying attention was the most problematic behaviour for 70 per
cent of respondents. For girls, most staff said bullying such as spreading rumours was the biggest problem. Among boys the
most challenging behaviour was physical aggression. Staff thought the main reasons for challenging behaviour within their
schools and colleges were family breakdowns, followed by a lack of positive role models and poor emotional health. ATL
general secretary Dr Mary Bousted said: "The behaviour of both boys and girls can pose huge challenges for those working in
schools and colleges. Staff get ground down daily by the chatting and messing around, which disrupts lessons for other pupils
and takes the pleasure out of teaching. "Even more worrying is the physical aggression, most often among boys but also among
some girls, which puts other pupils and staff at risk.
Schools need to have firm and consistent discipline policies and work with parents to keep schools and colleges safe places for
pupils and staff alike."

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.
When he was nine years old, Felix Finkbeiner gave a class presentation on climate change. The young German spoke about
deforestation and its effect on the planet. At the end of his talk, he challenged the people of his country to help by planting one
million trees. Nobody thought much would come of a nine-year-old’s school project. Before he was 20, however, Finkbeiner’s
efforts had resulted in the planting of more than 14 billion trees around the world.
Finkbeiner and his classmates began the project - named “Plant-for-the-Planet” - by planting the first tree outside their
school. Other schools followed the example, and news of the one-million challenge spread. As a result, Finkbeiner was asked to
speak at the European Parliament. Other invitations soon followed, and when he was just 13, he spoke at a United Nations
conference in New York. “We cannot trust that adults alone will save our future,” he said in the speech. “We have to take our
future in our hands.”
Finkbeiner is now in his twenties, and Plant-for-the-Planet is an organization with around 70,000 members. It works to
teach people about climate change and to encourage the planting of more trees. Germany’s one millionth tree was planted long
ago. The goal now is one trillion - 150 for every person on Earth.

The Globe
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre is a popular topic for people interested in theater and history. However, the Globe Theatre as
we know it today is not the same building that was used originally. In fact, the Globe was situated in many different places
during its long history.
When the rental agreement on the original location ended, one of the actors bought a theater called the Blackfriars, which
was located in another part of town. However, many complaints from neighbors and the town council led to the creation of a
petition that requested that the acting group move their company out of town. Upset with this news, the actors returned to the
original theater, took most of it apart, and then moved the materials across the Thames River to Bankside, where they proceeded
to construct the next version of the Globe.
This endeavor, though, did not go so smoothly. The owner of the original Globe Theatre, who had rented it to the actors,
took the acting group to court. He wanted the actors to pay for the damage they had done to his building. In the end, however,
the actors won the case and continued to construct their “newly-acquired” theater. Later, the actors split their plays between the
original theater and the new Globe.
In 1643, the original Globe Theatre burned to the ground. How did this happen? Historians believe that a cannon that was
shot during a performance of the play Henry Vill started a large fire. Yet, the Globe Theatre still survived. A new Globe was
later completed on the same site before Shakespeare's death. However, it was shut down by the Puritans in 1642 and later
destroyed during the English Civil War of 1643.
In May of 1997, Queen Elizabeth II officially opened a newly constructed version of the Globe with a production of Henry
V. This is the Globe Theatre that people visit today. The queen wanted the new theater to be much like the old one. The new
model is very similar to the original theater. For instance, it is also a three-story building. Also, it has seating for 1,500 people. It
also has an area called the “yard” on the lower level. In its first season, the theater attracted 210,000 people.

Is synchronized swimming really a sport? Despite the doubt of many people, synchronized swimming is one of the most
underrated but most difficult sports, and it certainly deserves to be in the Olympic Games.
Olympic synchronized swimmers train for as long as eight hours a day, for six days a week− much longer than most other
Olympic sports. The athletes are not just in the water the whole time, they spend hours stretching, doing Pilates, strength
conditioning, diligently training, lifting weights, performing ballet, and even dancing and doing gymnastics. Because of this,
synchronized swimmers are some of the strongest and skillful athletes to compete in the modern Olympic Games.
Synchronized swimmers must perform many movements and positions called figures while managing their breathing and
coordination with the swimmers around them. To increase their lung capacity, often times synchronized swimmers will do
exercises called “unders” during practices. They will swim a 25-meter lap underwater, repeating this exercise over and over until
they’re beyond exhausted. This exercise is completely necessary for synchronized swimmers to master, because more than half
of a routine is performed underwater.
Although synchronized swimming is a very graceful and beautiful sport, there can be some dangers. The synchronized
swimmers can’t touch the bottom of the pool in a routine, or they’ll be disqualified. They must continuously move their legs in
circular movements, like an egg-beater. Because synchronized swimming is a contact sport and the swimmer’s kicks are so
powerful, swimmers may get hit by other competitors’ legs, causing concussions or knocking off nose clips, which is an

8
essential piece of equipment. Since it’s fairly common for a nose clip to get knocked off, many times swimmers will swim with
a couple extras.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.
Members of the royal family have led an outpouring of tributes from around the world at the death of Prince Philip, the
husband of Queen Elizabeth. Buckingham Palace has spoken of the Queen’s “deep sorrow” after her husband of 73 years, who
had been by her side throughout her reign, died peacefully at Windsor Castle aged 99 on Friday night (Australian time).
Flags at Buckingham Palace and government buildings across the United Kingdom were lowered to half-mast, and within
an hour of the announcement the public began to lay flowers outside Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace. However,
mourners have been urged not to gather and leave tributes at royal residences, and the public has been asked to stay away from
funeral events because of the coronavirus pandemic. An online book of condolence has been launched on the Royal Family’s
official website for people to leave messages of sympathy.
The prince died two months short of his 100th birthday. He had recently spent four weeks in hospital with an infection
where he was treated for a heart condition before being discharged and returned to Windsor early in March. The Duke of
Edinburgh had been by his wife’s side throughout her 69-year reign, the longest in British history, and during that time earned a
reputation for a tough, no-nonsense attitude, and a propensity for occasional gaffes. A Greek prince, Philip married Elizabeth in
1947, and together they had four children, eight grandchildren, and nine great grandchildren. He played a key role helping the
monarchy adapt to a changing world in the post-World War II period, and behind the walls of Buckingham Palace was the one
key figure the Queen could trust and turn to, knowing he could tell her exactly what he thought.
The death of the Duke comes in the midst of the worst public health crisis for generations as Britain and countries around
the globe reel from the devastating impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Philip will not have a state funeral nor lie in state for the
public to pay their respects ahead of the funeral, the College of Arms said, with arrangements revised to meet coronavirus
restrictions.
