The Myth of the Eight-hour Sleep<\/p>
We often worry about lying wake in the middle of the night – but it can be good for you. Indications from both science and history suggest that the eight-hours sleep may not be natural or inborn for humans. In the early 1990s, psychiatrist Thomas Wehr conducted a research in which Wehr kept a group of people in a darkened room for 14 hours a day for a month. It took some time for their sleep regulate, but by the fourth week the subjects had settled into a very distinct sleep pattern. Firstly, they slept four hours, then woke for one or two hours before falling into a third four-hour sleep. Sleep scientists were impressed by the implications of the study.<\/p>
Sleep psychologist, Gregg Jacobs, says that the idea that we must sleep for an extended period of time can change. \u2018It makes people who wake up in the night anxious, as this anxiety can itself discourage sleep and is likely to affect waking life, too,\u2019 Jacobs says. Russell Foster, a professor of circadian (body clock) neuroscience at Oxford University in the UK, shares this point of view. \u2018Over 30% of the medical problems that doctors face with stem directly or indirectly from sleep,\u2019 Foster says.<\/p>

PART THREE: READING (35 POINTS)<\/p>
I. Read the text below and fill in each gap with ONE suitable word. (5 pts.)<\/p>
Recent research has revealed that a third of people in Britain have not met their next-door neighbors, and those who know each other barely speak. \u2018The sight of neighbors gossiping over garden fences and in the street (1) __________ common in the 1950s\u2019, said Dr. Carl Chinn, an expert on local communities. Now, however, longer hours spent working at the office, together with the Internet and satellite television, are eroding neighborhood ties. \u2018Poor neighborhoods (2) __________ had strong kinship, but now prosperity buys privacy,\u2019 said Dr. Carl.<\/p>
Professor John Locke, a social scientist at Cambridge University, has analyzed a large number of surveys. He found that in America and Britain, the amount of time spent in (3) __________ activity is decreasing. A third of people said they never spoke to their neighbors at all. Andrew Mayer, a strategy consultant, rents a large apartment in West London, with two flatmates. \u2018We have a family of teachers upstairs and lawyers below, but our contact comes via letters relating to the communal facilities or complaints (4) __________ we\u2019ve not put out our bin bags properly,\u2019 said Mayer.<\/p>
The breakdown of communities can have serious effects. Concerned at the rise in burglaries and acts of vandalism, the police have relaunched crime (5) __________ schemes such as Neighborhood Watch, calling on people who live in the same neighborhood to keep an eye on each other\u2019s houses and report everything they see which is unusual.<\/p>
(Adapted from https:\/\/moodle.phgr.ch)<\/p>
II. Read the following passage and write the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks. (10 pts.)<\/p>
Academic success is frequently considered as the combination of academic performance, persistence, and satisfaction. Of these, performance is often treated as the (1) __________ indicator, primarily due to its obvious objectivity and gaining of quantification through grades and standardized assessments. However, such reliance may risk privileging (2) __________ outcomes over less visible, yet equally consequential, dimensions. While performance can signal attainment, it does not necessarily capture the conditions (3) __________ which that attainment is produced.<\/p>
Increasingly, (4) __________ has shifted toward the underlying factors that shape academic achievements. Although strong performance may appear to reflect competence or effective learning strategies, it can also coexist with less (5) __________ challenges, including chronic stress or disengagement. These factors, while not immediately observable, may exert a delayed influence on persistence and satisfaction. For instance, students who initially achieve high results may nonetheless experience (6) __________ motivation over time, suggesting that performance alone is an insufficient substitute for long-term academic stability. Importantly, the absence of visible difficulty should not be interpreted as the absence of strain.<\/p>
In response, institutions have implemented a range of interventions (7) __________ to mitigate the adverse effects associated with these hidden pressures. Such measures often include psychological support services, structured academic guidance, and initiatives aimed at (8) __________ social integration. Evidence suggests that these strategies can enhance student engagement, their effectiveness is, (9) __________, not uniform across contexts. In some cases, improvements in retention are evident, yet the extent to which these gains can be (10) __________ solely to institutional support remains open to interpretation. This raises questions about whether such interventions address root causes or merely alleviate symptoms.<\/p>
