Sleep is very important for the brain. While we are asleep, the brain repairs itself. It also stores
information that it learned during the day. If we do not get enough sleep, the brain cannot do these things.
We become tired and we cannot remember things so well. Our body's 'immune system', which is its self-
defence system, becomes weaker, so we are more likely to get ill.
Most people find sleep difficult because they are not relaxed. They do not exercise enough during the
day, and in the evening, they are still thinking about their work or studies. In addition, they make phone calls
or look at email messages until late at night. They also have too many drinks which contain caffeine, such as
coffee, and eat dinner just before they go to bed. All of this is bad for sleeping.
So, what can we do? Of course, it is important to be relaxed. However, there are other things we can do
to help us get a good night's sleep. First of all, we should make sure that the bed is comfortable, with a good
mattress and pillows. The bedroom should be dark and quiet, so that we are not disturbed by light or noise.
We should also have the same routine every evening before we go to bed. For example, we should read a
book, have a hot bath, or listen to relaxing music. Finally, we should try to go to bed at the same time every
night. In this way, we will start to sleep better and feel more active the next day.
(Adapted from New Headway Academic Skills by Richard Harrison)

Sport and sport events provide a significant source of volunteering opportunities for a wide range of

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 questions from 44 to 50.
Many celebrities have a hard time managing their life in the public eye. While people view celebrities as
role-models, they may forget that film stars and musicians can be flawed and, like the rest of us, they, too,
can be dealing with their own personal struggles. Meeting one's favourite celebrity can be inspirational or
frustrating, depending on the circumstances.
A celebrity's personality is often carefully managed so that the public eye sees them as very friendly, or
even humble. But when you meet a celebrity in their daily life, you may find them arrogant or distant.
Stories of meeting artists in restaurants or airports who are dismissive of fans' requests for pictures abound.
This turns some fans off, whereas others are unsurprised and just see it as a trait shared by the rich and
famous.
While some suggest that celebrities have the right to some privacy, others argue that being a celebrity
means becoming accustomed to fans approaching you wherever you are, or whatever you are doing. They
claim being a celebrity is partially about giving up some of your private life to your adoring fans. Being able
to adapt to constant recognition is a necessary attribute needed for dealing with a life of fame.
Today, technology has certainly changed the relationship between celebrities and their public. With the
abundance of smartphones, people may be requesting photos, or an autograph would have been asked in the
past. The spread of photos over social media may worry celebrities whose locations become quicker to
identify and who fear a crowd gathering while they try to simply take a walk or enjoy a meal.
The question of privacy for world-famous celebrities today is a difficult but important one to address.
Fans need to be aware that celebrities lead personal lives separate from their public personas and they need
to remember that celebrities value their privacy as much as anyone else. Likewise, celebrities should take
into account the taxing nature of fame. They should perhaps work on strategies that are compatible with
their personalities to deal with it.
Question 44: Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. Celebrities in the public eye B. Privacy and celebrity life
C. Technology and celebrities' private life D. How celebrities deal with privacy matters
Question 45: According to paragraph 2, fans who meet their favourite celebrities in daily life______.

Question 46: The underlined word “trait” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to________.
A. characteristic B. appearance C. prediction D. difference
Question 47: The word "they" in the passage 4 refers to_______.
A. photos B. celebrities C. locations D. fans
Question 48: The underlined word “compatible” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to________.
A. disagreeable B. contradictory C. unsuited D. suitable
Question 49: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Celebrities don't have any problems balancing between fame and privacy.
B. It is not easy to address the privacy matters for celebrities.
C. With the abundance of smartphones, the rate of fans' requesting for pictures becomes higher.
D. Celebrities may have weakness in their character like normal people.
Question 50: Which of the following can be inferred in the passage?
A. Fans should never ask celebrities for taking pictures.
B. Celebrities' private life has become more secure thanks to the development of technology.
