14 A COMPARISON BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF SLEEP THAT PEOPLE TWO DIFFERENT
TYPES OF SLEEP
EXPERIENCE
ĐÁP ÁN ĐÚNG:E
Sleep research shows that we sleep in 90-minute cycles, and it's only towards the end of
each that we go into deep sleep.Each cycle comprises of NREM sleep (non-rapid eye
movementsleep),followedbyREM(rapideyemovement) sleep.'During NREM sleep ... your
body settles into this lovely low state of energy,' Walker explains. 'REM sleep, on the
other hand is ... an incredibly active brain state. Your heart and nervous system go
through spurts of activity.'
Đoạn E chứa thông tin về NREM và REM, chính là hai loại giấc ngủ ở con người. Đoạn này
cũng so sánh mức độ hoạt động cơ thể trong NREM là "low state of energy" (ít năng
lượng) với "incredibly active brain state" (trạng thái não hoạt động vô cùng tích cực)
trong REM.-> Paragraph E
16 EXAMPLES OF DIFFERENT BEHAVIOURS THAT HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT Not paying enough
ON MENTAL PERFORMANCE attention to the
details: behaviours
ĐÁP ÁN ĐÚNG:E -> negative
Because we need four or five of these cycles to stay healthy, it's important for people to impacts on
MENTAL
break bad sleep habits. For example, they should not be regularly working late into the performance
night as this affects cognitive functioning. Depending on sleeping pills is also not a good
idea, as it can have a damaging effect on memory.
Keyword cần chú ý:

behaviours that have a negative impact = bad [...] habits
mental performance ~ cognitive functioning, memory
Giải thích đáp án:

Cuối đoạn E tác giả nói đến các "bad sleeping habit" (thói quen ngủ không tốt) như làm
việc khuya và phụ thuộc vào thuốc ngủ. Những thói quen này ảnh hưởng đến "cognitive
functioning" và "memory", đều là "mental performance".
-> Paragraph E
17 A SUGGESTION THAT MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS ARE NOT TAKING THE

RIGHT APPROACH
ĐÁP ÁN ĐÚNG:A
No one is doing anything about it but things have to change. But when did you ever see a
national health service poster urging sleep on people? When did a doctor prescribe, not
sleeping pills, but sleep itself? It needs to be prioritised.'

medical professionals = doctors
Đoạn A, tác giả giới thiệu về Walker và quan điểm của người này. Trong đó có việc các
tài liệu và "doctors" (bác sĩ) không nhấn mạnh đủ tầm quan trọng hay "kê đơn" giấc ngủ.
-> họ chưa tiếp cận đúng vấn đề thiếu ngủ của bệnh nhân
-> Paragraph A
20
INSUFFICIENT SLEEP IS ONE OF THREE FACTORS WHICH EXPLAIN
THE ...............................
Đáp án đúng:OBESITY CRISIS
For example, adults aged 45 years or older who sleep less than six hours a night are
200% more likely to have a heart attack.as compared with those sleeping seven or
eight.This is because even one night of sleep reduction will affect a person's heart and
significantly increase their blood pressure as a result. Walker also points out that when
your sleep becomes short, you are susceptible to weight gain. Among the reasons for
this are the fact that inadequate sleep increases levels of the hunger-signalling hormone,
ghrelin.'I'm not going to say that the obesity crisis is caused by the sleep-loss epidemic
alone; says Walker.'However, processed food and sedentary lifestyles do not adequately
explain its rise.It's now clear that sleep is that third ingredient.'
Thiếu ngủ là "one in three factors" (một trong ba yếu tố), có thể hiểu nó là yếu tố thứ 3
dẫn đến một hiện tượng.
Thông tin này giống với ý về việc thiếu ngủ, cùng với việc dùng nhiều đồ ăn chế biến và
lối sống ít vận động, là nguyên nhân dẫn đến "obesity crisis" (khủng hoảng béo phì).
Vậy đáp án là "obesity crisis"
WHICH OF THESE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ARE TRUE OF MATTHEW

WALKER?
-> A. HE IS SOMETIMES RELUCTANT TO ADMIT WHAT HIS PROFESSION IS.
Matthew Walker dreads the question 'What do you do?' On an aeroplane it usually
means that while everyone else watches movies, he will find himself giving a talk for the
benefit of passengers and crew alike.To be specific.Walker is the director of the Center
for Human Sleep Science at the University of California. No wonder people long for his
advice.

Đoạn A có thông tin Matthew Walker "dreads" (ghét, ngại) câu hỏi "What do you do?" về
nghề nghiệp bởi khi biết Walker nghiên cứu về giấc ngủ, mọi người chờ đợi ông nói về
nghiên cứu của mình và cho lời khuyên - trong khi Walker mong được nghỉ ngơi hơn.
-> A. He is sometimes reluctant to admit what his profession is
35 WHAT IS THE WRITER DOING IN THE FIFTH PARAGRAPH?

A. EXPLAINING WHICH CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS ARE MOST SUSTAINABLE
B. EMPHASISING THE IMPORTANCE OF CLEVER DESIGN IN SMALL SPACES
C. COMPARING REASONS FOR CHOOSING TO LIVE IN AN UNUSUAL BUILDING
D. PROPOSING WHICH SPECIFIC URBAN LOCATIONS SHOULD BE DEVELOPED

ĐÁP ÁN ĐÚNG:B
An example of a project that truly meets the needs of residents is Container City - a
development in London's Docklands area. Constructed from metal containers once used
to transport cargo on ships, it is a fivestorey architectural masterpiece. The containers
have been turned into sunny work studios, and despite their limited size, some come
with a bed, shower and kitchen unit. Smart planning and skilful construction mean they
take up very little room. Furniture and fittings are made from recycled products. Other
countries have their own versions of Container City - Amsterdam and Copenhagen have
created container dormitories to house students - but the Docklands site shows how
work and living areas can effectively be combined. The units are ideal for young
entrepreneurs hoping to establish a business while keeping costs down.

small spaces = limited size
don't need much space = take up very little room
Trong đoạn 5, tác giả mô tả Container City là ví dụ một dự án thực sự "meets the needs of
residents" (đáp ứng các nhu cầu của người dân).
Tác giả nói về việc dự án tận dụng container cũ làm không gian sống, nhưng "smart planning and
skillful construction" đảm bảo đáp ứng nhu cầu sử dụng trong diện tích nhỏ, và giúp nơi này trở
thành nơi ở lý tưởng cho những doanh nhân trẻ.
-> B. emphasising the importance of clever design in small spaces

YES|NO|NOT GIVEN
Trích đoạn chứa đáp án:
Finally, planners and developers must be obliged to create, within the same
neighbourhood, different types of homes for wealthy professionals, for families, for the
elderly and for young people just starting out. This kind of mix is essential to ensure
people can buy a home in an area convenient for work, and for a community to stay
alive.

very important = essential
Tác giả nói planners and developers cần được yêu cầu tạo ra những kiểu nhà khác nhau
cho những nhóm người khác nhau về điều kiện kinh tế, tuổi tác, v.v.
-> Đảm bảo "mix" (tổ hợp) những nhóm người khác nhau
Câu hỏi: Các khu dân cư mới cần khuyến khích sự đa dạng xã hội.-> YES
