5-Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Sleep is a powerful influence on our lives. The traditional
theory about sleep is that our brain needs to rest for several hours to
refresh itself and to “file” in our memory everything that happened to
us during the day. If we are not allowed to sleep, we eventually die.
However, Ray Meddis, a scientist at university, has a
fascinating new theory. He suggests that we don’t really need to sleep
at all. We sleep only because our brain is programmed to make us do so.
According to Dr Meddis, the tiredness we feel at the end of the day is
produced by a chemical mechanism in the brain which makes us sleep. We
are programmed to feel sleepy at midnight, even if we have spent the
whole day relaxing or doing nothing. He believes that the unpleasant
symptoms we suffer when we don’t sleep enough are not because we have
not

rested but because we have disobeyed our brain’s
programming. But he believes that if scientists could turn off the sleep
mechanism in our brain, we could live completely normal lives without
sleeping.

6-Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Call me old-fashioned. Call me old. Call me what you want,
but I refuse to become part of this new Internet world. I don’t possess a
computer at home or at the office. Actually, I stopped going to an
office 35 years ago, when all communications were done in a relaxed
manner with a pen, a typewriter or over the telephone. Tell me what you
think of the following and that appeared the other day in the newspaper.
It was for a cure for cancer and that is what is said: “Awareness is
the key. Visit spfulford.com at the awareness site.” There was no
address or telephone number for the site. So what do unfortunate people
without a computer do if they are seeking a cure for their illness?
There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the
Internet. The internet users can pay bills, order groceries or discuss
illness with their doctor. In the future, the internet may develop
“consciousness”. In other words, the internet will be able to think,
have feelings and act on its own. If this is right, I may change my
attitude about computers. As I grow older each day, I would like a
gadget that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibility for
all my mistakes
