5- Read the passage then answer the questions: (August, 2004)
Sleep is a powerful influence on our lives. The traditional theory about sleep is that our brain needs to rest for several hours to refresh itself and to ‘file’ in our memory everything that happened to us during the day. If we are not allowed to sleep, we eventually die.
However, Ray Meddis, a scientist at University, has a fascinating new theory. He suggests that we don’t really have to sleep at all. We sleep only because our brain is ‘programmed’ to make us do so. According to Dr Meddis, the ‘tiredness’ we feel at the end of the day is produced by a chemical mechanism in the brain which makes us sleep. We are ‘programmed’ to feel ‘sleepy’ at midnight, even if we have spent the day relaxing or doing nothing. He believes that the unpleasant symptoms we suffer when we don’t sleep enough are not because we have not rested, but because we have disobeyed our brain’s programming. But he believes that if scientists could “turn off” the sleep mechanism in our brain, we could live completely normal lives without sleeping.
So is sleeping a waste of time? Even Dr Meddis does not deny the great psychological value of sleep, and he asks us, “if scientists invented a pill which keeps you awake for ever, would you take it?”

1- What happens if people don’t sleep?
2- According to Dr Meddis, could we live without sleeping? Why?

a) we have not rested. b) we feel sick.
c) our brain is turned off d) we did not follow our normal routine fixed by our mind.
6- Read the passage then answer the questions:
Everyone's personality is as different and unique as everyone's fingerprints. We can usually see people's personality in the clothes they wear, or how they look after their things, or how they behave with other people. When we say that we know someone well, what we really mean is that we can make accurate guesses about what that person will do or think. We know the different features of their personality. These features are called "personality traits".
Psychologists think that we have "central personality traits". These affect how we behave, and how we react to people and situations. Examples of central personality traits are friendliness, neatness, competitiveness, shyness and optimism. Some psychologists think that we inherit these central traits from our family and that they usually stay with us all our life.
Psychologists say that we also have "secondary traits", connected with the things we prefer, such as our favourite food, music, films or colours. These can change as we get older, but very often many of them stay the same all our lives.

1- How are people different from each other?
