the best answer to each of the questions from 2 to 7.
Sleep is an essential part of life, playing a crucial role in maintaining overall health and well-being.
Experts recommend that adults get at least seven to eight hours of sleep per night. During sleep,
the body undergoes various processes to repair tissues, consolidate memories, and regulate
hormones. Poor sleep can lead to health problems such as obesity, heart disease, and a weakened
immune system. It also affects mental health, increasing the risk of depression and anxiety.
One key element of good sleep is maintaining a consistent sleep schedule. Going to bed and waking
up at the same time every day helps regulate the body's internal clock, known as the circadian
rhythm. Disrupting this rhythm, such as through irregular sleep patterns, can lead to sleep
disorders and decreased daytime alertness. Additionally, environmental factors like light, noise,
and temperature play a role in sleep quality.
Some people struggle with insomnia, a condition that makes it difficult to fall or stay asleep.
Common causes include stress, poor sleep habits, and medical conditions. Treatment options for
insomnia include lifestyle changes, cognitive behavioral therapy, and, in some cases, medication.
Experts often recommend limiting screen time before bed, as blue light from devices can
interfere with the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep.
In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of sleep in improving
productivity and overall quality of life. Employers and schools are beginning to consider sleep-
friendly policies, such as flexible hours and later start times, to help people get the rest they need.
With these changes, society is slowly recognizing that sleep is not a luxury, but a necessity.
Question 2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of sleep?
A. Memory consolidation B. Heart health
C. Increased immune strength D. Increased calorie intake
Question 3. The word "consolidate" in the passage is CLOSEST in meaning to ________
A. differentiate B strengthen C. interrupt D. neglect
Question 4. The word "disrupting" in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ________
A regulating B. creating C. interrupting D. observing
Question 5. The word "it" in paragraph 1 refers to ________
A. Poor sleep B. heart disease
