the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Today we hear more and more about the importance of getting enough sleep. Sleep can give
energy to both our bodies and our brains. It can also affect our feelings, behaviour, and memory.
Studies have shown that people in some countries spend less time sleeping and more time
working. But our bodies cannot work well without enough sleep. Losing just one or two hours of
sleep a night, over a long period of time, can badly affect our health. We cannot work for many
hours; we can get angry easily; and we can even lose our IQ points. That explains why, without
enough sleep, an intelligent person may have difficulty doing daily tasks.
Studies have also shown that the time of year seems to affect how much sleep we need.
People usually sleep longer in the winter, sometimes as much as 14 hours a night. However, in
the summer, they sometimes sleep as little as six hours, without having any problems.
Question 29. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The importance of sleep B. Causes of losing sleep
C. Ways to sleep better D. Benefits of getting up early
Question 30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 1 as something that can be
affected by sleep?

sleep?
A. People can finish their daily tasks. B. Our health becomes worse.
C. Our bodies can work better. D. People have less time to work.

A. people B. studies C. problems D. hours
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the following questions.
One way of training for your future occupation in Germany is by pursuing a dual
vocational training programme. Such programmes offer plenty of opportunities for on-the-job
training and work experience. Programmes usually last between two and three and a half years
and comprise theoretical as well as practical elements. You will spend one or two days a week,
or several weeks at once, at a vocational school where you will acquire the theoretical knowledge
that you will need in your future occupation. The rest of the time will be spent at a company.
There you get to apply your newly acquired knowledge in practice, for example by learning to
operate machinery. You will get to know what your company does, learn how it operates, and
find out if you can see yourself working there after completing your training.
This combination of theory and practice gives you a real head start into your job: by the
time you have completed your training, you will not only have the required technical knowledge,
but you will also have hands-on experience in your job. There are around 350 officially
recognised training programmes in Germany, so chances are good that one of them will suit your
interests and talents. You can find out which one that might be by visiting one of the jobs and
vocational training fairs which are organised in many German cities at different times in the year.
Employment prospects for students who have completed a dual vocational training
programme are very good. This is one of the reasons why this kind of training is very popular
with young Germans: around two thirds of all students leaving school go on to start a vocational
training programme.

A. Dual Vocational Training System in Germany
