When Sarah was 16, she joined a local community service club. One summer afternoon, the club organized a visit to a nursing home. Sarah expected a quiet, perhaps boring afternoon. Instead, she met Mr Thompson, an 80-year-old former teacher. Mr Thompson shared stories about his teaching days and the pleasure he found in seeing students develop. Sarah was deeply touched by his passion. Over the following months, she regularly visited Mr Thompson, reading books and playing chess with him.

Sleep is as important to our health as food and exercise. Research shows that teenagers need about 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night. However, many students sleep far less due to schoolwork, social activities and screen time. Lack of sleep can lead to poor memory, difficulty in concentrating, and even mood disorders. Scientists recommend setting a regular sleep schedule, avoiding screens one hour before bedtime, and creating a comfortable sleep environment. A good night's rest can improve learning efficiency, creativity and physical health. It is a simple but powerful way to enhance daily performance.

A. Schoolwork. B. Part-time jobs. C. Social activities. D. Screen time.

8. What might result from not getting enough sleep?

A. Better concentration. B. Poor memory. C. Increased creativity. D. Higher physical strength.

9. Which is a suggested way to improve sleep?

A. Using screens before bed. B. Changing the sleep schedule every night. C. Avoiding screens one hour before sleep. D. Drinking coffee in the evening.

10. What is the main idea of the text?

A. The cause of sleeplessness. B. The relationship between sleep and health. C. The effect of exercise on sleep. D. The importance of screen time.

C

Memory is a skill that can be improved with practice. One effective method is to organize information into meaningful groups. For example, instead of trying to remember a long list of numbers, you can break them into smaller parts, such as phone numbers. Another useful technique is to connect new information with something you already know. When you learn a new word, try creating a sentence that relates to your personal experience. Additionally, regular review helps move information from short-term memory into long-term memory. Spacing out review sessions over several days is more effective than cramming all at once. Finally, getting enough sleep and exercise can positively affect your memory.

11. What is an effective way to remember a long list of numbers?

A. Repeating them loudly. B. Writing them down several times. C. Breaking them into smaller groups. D. Ignoring them.

12. According to the text, how can we remember new words better?

A. By looking them up in the dictionary. B. By making sentences related to our own life. C. By reading them aloud. D. By copying them.

13. Why is regular review important?

A. It helps store information in long-term memory. B. It makes learning more tiring. C. It costs less time. D. It removes old memories.

14. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Connecting new information with old knowledge helps memory. B. Cramming is better than spaced review. C. Sleep and exercise benefit memory. D. Grouping information aids memory.

15. Where can you probably find this passage?

A. In a travel guide. B. In a health magazine. C. In an educational article. D. In a sports report.
