Zadanie 4 (0–4)
Przeczytaj tekst, który został podzielony na trzy części A–C oraz zdania w tabeli. Do każdego zdania 4.1–4.4
dopasuj właściwą część tekstu. Wpisz rozwiązania do tabeli. Uwaga: jedna część tekstu pasuje do dwóch zdań.

In this paragraph the writer

4.1 mentions why some activities are not helpful before sleep. C
4.2 gives an important reason why teenagers need more sleep. B
4.3 compares the average amount of sleep for teenagers from two different generations. A
4.4 talks about organisations that are doing something to tackle the problem. 8

A Does your teenage child go up to their bedroom early only to spend

hours playing with their iPad or mobile phone? Do they find it hard to
switch off their television or stop playing computer games when it’s
bedtime? If so, you’re not alone; it’s a common problem and according
to a new report, today’s generation of children are in danger of getting
so little sleep that they are putting their mental and physical health at
risk. Adults can easily survive on seven to eight hours of sleep a night,
whereas teenagers require nine or ten hours. According to medical
experts, one in five youngsters gets anything between two and five
hours less sleep a night than their parents did at their age.

B This raises serious questions about whether a lack of sleep is affecting

children’s performance at school. The connection between lack of
sleep and an inability to remember things, poor reaction time and
concentration is well known. Research has shown that losing as little
as half an hour of sleep a night can have a big effect on how children
perform the next day. A good night’s sleep is also crucial for teenagers
because it is while they are asleep that they release a hormone that is
essential for their ‘growth spurt’ (the period during teenage years when
the body grows at a rapid rate). It’s true that, to some extent, they can
catch up on sleep at weekends, but that won’t help them when they are
falling asleep in class on a Friday afternoon.

C So why aren’t teenagers getting enough sleep? Some experts suggest

the presence of televisions, computers and mobile phones in children’s
bedrooms may be to blame. Instead of reading a book at bedtime,
children are going to their room and playing computer games, surfing
the web, texting and messaging, or watching television. As these new
pre-sleep activities have become more common, so more traditional
ones such as reading have declined. Dr Luci Wiggs, a research fellow
at Oxford University’s Section of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
said, ‘One of the problems with these pre-sleep activities is that they
are unstructured, i.e. they do not have clearly defined start and end
times.’ She went on, ‘This is the first generation of children to face
such a huge variety of alternatives to going to sleep and the long-term
consequences in terms of physical and mental health for both the child
and their family can only be guessed at.’ However, rather than relying
on students to go to bed earlier, some schools in the US have delayed
the start of their classes to give their teenagers some extra time in bed.
And many teachers have reported that students are more alert and less
moody. One school has even noticed a significant improvement in the
educational performance of its students.

HOLIDAYS
As Sara picked up the yellowing postcard and looked at the two
people sitting in deckchairs by the sea, she thought about how
times had changed. These days everyone expected a holiday, but
she knew that holidays were a relatively new invention. Her dad
had told her that it was the development of the railways in the
19th century, and the linking of big industrial cities like Leeds and
Manchester to seaside towns like Blackpool and Scarborough,
that opened up the way for holidays. The steam trains took normal
working people to the seaside in their hundreds, although for
most, it was rarely anything other than an occasional treat. And
while they were there, they made the most of it, playing on the
beach, swimming in the sea, eating fish and chips and watching
Punch and Judy shows.
The British seaside holiday became much less popular in the
60s and 70s when people started to go abroad to warmer countries
like Spain and Greece. Sara remembered her mum telling her
about how they went on their honeymoon to Yugoslavia and they
felt like they were going somewhere so exotic.
Then in the 1990s, budget airlines made air tickets affordable
to everyone and Sara herself had been to loads of places. Funny
how the whole thing seemed to have come full circle! These days
people were turning to holidays nearer to home. Not only to save
money, but also because of worries about the environmental
impact of flying. That was one reason why Sara found it difficult
to put the postcard down. It wasn’t the only reason though.

5.1 The writer says that when the railways opened,

ordinary people went to the seaside
A only on special occasions.
B for more opportunities to entertain their children.

:
C to experience something new.
D because they liked being with other people.
5.2 What does the writer find amusing about modern-
day holiday making?
A The amount of choice people have means they
can’t decide where to go.
B People are choosing not to spend money even
though they can afford to.
C It has actually become similar to what people
originally did.
D The fact that people are deciding not to go on
a plane.

So, Orton met Lady Tichborne in Paris. She was

lawyers to investigate him, and in 1874 there was a
famous trial that lasted 188 days. Over 100 witnesses
