New research has indicated that students who sacrifice sleep in order to cram for exams may be doing
more harm than good. The study, which explores the link between sleep and memory, was recently
published by scientists at Harvard Medical School.
According to their findings, people who deprive themselves of sleep so that they can study until the
last minute are unlikely to remember anything that would improve their performance, while suffering the
crippling effects of fatigue. The research indicates that the brain requires good-quality sleep after
practicing a task to effectively learn and improve at it. Those who substitute study for sleep, particularly
those who miss deep or "slow-wave" sleep will get little benefit from their extra effort.
The results, which have been published in the scientific journal Nature Neuroscience, support the
growing body of evidence suggesting that sleep is crucial to the learning process. Professor Stick gold,
who led the study, suggests that a good night's sleep immediately after learning is essential for embedding
new skills in the memory. He explains that the first night's sleep is crucial in the process of memory
consolidation, adding that memories may not be retained unless they are "nailed down" by certain
processes. Based on the findings, it seems that sleep is one such process that plays a crucial role in
solidifying new information in the memory.

A. How to Have a Good Sleep on Eve of Exams

A. happiness B. boredom C. tiredness D. sadness
Question 34. According to paragraph 2, what did the Harvard Medical School discover?
A. 'Deep sleep' is not essential for studying and memory recollection.
B. People will have a better memory if they sleep only 3 hours a day.
C. Exhaustion is the biggest reason why students fail their exams.
D. Those who study instead of sleeping have little chance of passing their exams.
Question 35. Which of the following is NOT mentioned, according to the passage?
A. Sleep kickstarts a process of memory retention.
B. Sleep is the only thing that can help a learner process new information.
C. It's not a good idea for students to stay up late to study for their exams instead of sleeping.
D. A good night's sleep is vital if a person wants to improve their memory.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions from 36 to 42.
The world of work has been undergoing dramatic changes. Step by step, robots are taking over
manual jobs that used to be done by semi-skilled workers. AI assistants in the forms of holograms have
been on trial at Changi Airport and Boston Airport. Their performance as perfectly efficient check-in staff
has amazed users. Certain restaurants in South Korea have introduced tablets for self-order and have even
made use of maid robots in place of waiters and waitresses. Getting a secure job or a career can't have
been more challenging.
On leaving school, 18-year-olds are faced with one of the toughest decisions of their life: career
choice. Which to pursue requires sensible decision basing on their in-depth self-understanding. Guidance
from school counsellors and parents together with insights into their potentials from character tests will
empower them to make informed decisions. It is also worth noticing that, in this ever-advancing world
school-leavers need to be well-prepared for changes and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
However bewildering career choice may be, it is no more than the beginning of a person's career. To
further it, they have no alternative but to become better day by day. In essence, career development is a
continual and lifelong process in which they need to specify their goals, boost their own confidence,
improve communication skills, and expand personal networking. Actually, university graduation simply
celebrates the completion of adults' mainstream education, signifying their non-stop self-improvement. Of
all the qualities, a person's flexibility will work in this full-of-changes world. Flexibility manifests itself

in professional agility, problem-solving skills, change management and innovative thinking. As long as
they are not set in their way of thinking, they can easily get a task done.
AI has been replacing certain blue-collar workers, but it can never establish a role in a field that has
something to do with emotional intelligence (EQ). Automated learning machines can repeatedly lecture a
subject, but they can never become an inspiring story for students. Robots in hospitals can accurately
perform operations, but at no time can they comfort the lonely and suffering patients like a gentle nurse.
Technology has taken mankind to a world of constant change. School-leavers are expected to
improve themselves and own the right skills to meet the social demands.
