I. Read the passage.


We all need sufficient sleep. According to sleep experts, young school aged children are
recommended to sleep 9 to 11 hours a night, teenagers 8 to 10 hours, young adults 7 to 9 hours, and older
adults 7 to 8 hours. However, some people sleep less than they need to. Some suffer from insomnia, a
condition of not being able to sleep. This idea to sleep deprivation, a condition of not having enough
sleep. Irregular sleep deprivation is not a serious problem, but regular and continuous sleep deprivation
can pose serious problems for many people, young and old in today’s fast paced society.
A number of factors contribute to sleep deprivation. Going to bed late, waking up repeatedly
during the night time, or waking up early for no apparent reason can lead to sleep deprivation and the
accumulation of sleep debt. Medical problems such as depression, sleep apnea, hormone imbalance, and
other chronic illnesses can be causes of sleep deprivation too. Moreover, shift work, family obligations or
demanding jobs can be reasons for sleep deprivation. Another factor is that some regard sleep as wasted
time and they purposely deprive themselves of sleep in their pursuits of wealth, fame and success. The
one that is considered the most serious today is the online game addiction that poses risks of sleep
deprivation to children and youths.

II. Read the passage.


According to the American writer Jack Kerouac, “All human beings are also dream beings.
Dreaming ties all mankind together.” this observation is indeed true, for we all dream at one time or
another. Very often, we dream in our sleep; and quite often, we dream in the daytime. Yet, do we truly
know what a dream is or why we dream?
Psychologists say that dreaming is a mental activity that occurs during sleep. They also point out
that dreams are more perceptual than conceptual, meaning that things are seen and heard rather than
thought. Studies carried out by psychologists have revealed that in most dreams we see more than we
hear, smell, taste or touch. Furthermore, most dreams are i the form of interrupted stories made up largely
of memories and scenes shit suddenly with hardly any connection between them.
Sometimes, we wake up suddenly from a frightful dream in a cold sweat, our heart thumping
wild. These fearsome dreams are called nightmares. Here again, to ate, psychologists have not been able
to explain satisfactorily why we have nightmares.
Some say that dreaming is nothing but a process of our brain trying to clear up the clutter that has
accumulated in our head, somewhat like housewives sweeping and tidying up the house. Some others
claim that dreams are prophetic, that is, they foretell the future. Pharaohs of ancient Egypt thought so and
Joseph, a biblical character in the Old Testament, interpreted not only his dreams but also of the
Pharaohs. Even today there are people who believe that dreams are meaningful and tell something.
