QUESTION 4

Read about 5 tips on a good night’s sleep below. Then, answer questions (a) – (e).

How To Get A Good Night’s Sleep.

Tip 1: Most adults need an average between seven to nine hours a night, while others need less hours of
sleep.

Tip 2: Rather than the clock striking 12, we should look to our internal biological clock’s idea of midnight.
This ‘biological midnight’ happens not at 12am, but somewhere between 3am and 4am. This ensures that a
greater proportion of the night’s deep-sleep phases – where our recovery processes are especially effective
– happen before this low point.

Tip 3: To ensure a good night’s sleep, keep your bedroom temperature at around 18°C. However, use
blankets or a hot water bottle as being too cold can prevent you from getting a good night’s sleep. That
doesn’t mean you should shut the windows tight, though, as stale air with lower levels of oxygen will tend to
disturb the restorative effect of sleep.

Tip 4: Being physically tired helps you to sleep well. Yet exercise serves to stimulate the body and increase
body temperature, so exercising just before you go to bed is not a good idea. Allow your body to rest for at
least two hours after exercise before going to bed.

Tip 5 : Despite the fact that many people nod off while watching TV, the truth is that the sound and
flickering light reach the brain even after we have fallen asleep, preventing us from achieving healthy deep
sleep. Devices such as laptops, tablets and phones are even worse. They make noises and give off light
and you’re tempted to check them.
[Adapted from Asia Reader’s Digest]

Questions (a) – (b): Based on the information about sleep above, state whether the following statements
are TRUE or FALSE.

(a) People need different hours of sleep. ………………… (1 mark)

(b) Exercising can help us to fall asleep immediately. ………………… (1 mark)

(c) Fill in the table with an appropriate word from the information about sleep.

Read the poem below carefully. Then, answer questions (a) – (d).

NEWSBREAK
By Max Fatchen

Now why so loving darling

And why the sudden kiss?
You’d help me with some little jobs?
For goodness sake, what’s this?

Your face is clean for once, dear

Your clothes without crease.
You saved your luncheon money?
Will wonders never cease?

No dropping of your school books.

No shrieking, childish treble.
Today you are a lamb, love.
Where yesterday a rebel.

But surely you’re some stranger

No rage or hullabaloo
Come closer, let me look, dear.
Can this be REALLY you?

Now were you struck by lightning

Or were you stunned at sports?
Ah…..now I see the reason.
You’ve brought your school report.

(a) Who is the persona in this poem?

______________________________________________________________________________ (1 mark)

(b) In stanza 2, write the line which shows the persona is surprised in the sudden changes in the child’s
behaviour.

______________________________________________________________________________ (1mark)

(c) In stanza 3, state one word to show that the child is obedient and not naughty.

_____________________________________________________________________________ (1 mark)
