Question 2. Mistake correction
There are 10 mistakes in the following passage. Find them and correct
them
Many different kinds of insurance are available to deaf people today but
weren’t in past. It was the year 1898 that an insurance company for deaf people
was born. A small group of young deaf man had a meeting in this year. They were
all worried. At that time, only deaf people were not allowed to buy insurance. The
group worked hard during the three years making research. They were ready for
action at the second meeting. That meeting was historic because the men found
the Fraternal Society of the Deaf. The first few years on the Fraternal Society of
the Deaf were difficult. There was no money for an office, so they worked in their
home. Since the company was very young, there was no money to pay for deadly
benefits. If a member passed away, each of the other members gave one dollar
to help pay for burial costs. As time passed by, the company grew. As it grew, the
benefits improved. Health insurance has added. In 1905, the first office opened in
Chicago, Illinois. In 1907, the name of the company changed. The new name, still is
used today, was the National Fraternal Society of the Deaf, NFSD.

Question 2. You are going to read a newspaper article about sleep. Five
paragraphs have been removed from the article. Choose from the
paragraphs A – F the one which fits each gap (1 – 5). There is one extra
paragraph which you do not need to use.
Enough Sleep?
Tiredness, it is often claimed, has become the modern conditions. As the richer,
busier countries have grown, so sleeplessness and anxiety have also grown in the
popular psyche. Research in the USA has found 40 million Americans to be
chronically affected, and some recent best-selling novels in Britain have featured
insomniacs as protagonists, or sleep-research laboratories as their settings.
For guinea pigs, they advertise in the student newspapers. Subjects are picked
up by taxi, paid $ 5 an hour, and asked to adjust their sleeping patterns according
to instructions. Dr. Louise Reyner provides reassurance: “Some people are quite
worried, because you’re putting electrodes on their heads, and they think you can
see what they’re dreaming or thinking.”
The young men all deny they are going to fall asleep. Dr. Reyner has a video
recording of one trying not to. At first the person at the wheel is very upright, wet
and bleary eyes determinedly fixed on the windscreen. Then he begins to blink
briefly, every now and again; then for longer, and more often, with a slight drop
of the head. Each nod grows heavier than the last. The blinks become a 10-
second blackout. Every time, he jerks awake as if nothing has happened. But the
car, by the second or third occasion, has shot off the carriageway.
But apart from these findings, what else do we know about human sleep with
any kind of certainty? It is known that humans sleep, like other mammals,
according to a daily cycle. Once asleep, they switch between four different stages
of unconsciousness, from stage one sleep, the shallowest, to the stage four, the
deepest. When dreams occur, which is usually during the lightest sleep, the brain
paralyses the body except for the hands and eyelids, thus preventing injuries.
A. Beyond this, certainties blur into theories. It is often suggested, for example,
that sleep repairs body tissue, or restores muscles, or rests the frontal section of
the brain that controls speech and creativity. But all of this may happen more
quickly during relaxed wakefulness, so no one is really sure.
B. Part of this interest is in sleep in general: in its rhythms, its uses and in
problems with sleeping. But a central preoccupation remains. “People need more
sleep,” says one leading sleep researcher. “People cut back on sleep when
they’re busy. They get up too early to avoid rush hour.”
C. The sleep researchers seem interested in this theory. But the laboratory is not
funded to investigate such matters. Its sponsors what its research to lead to
practical solutions such as deciding where Take a break signs should be placed
on motorways, and how different kinds of food and drink can affect driving and
sleeplessness.
D. A coffee might have helped. Two cups, Dr. Reyner says, even after no sleep at
all, can make you a safe driver for half an hour or more. She recommends a
whole basket of alertness products: tablets, energy drinks, caffeinated chewing
gum. Shift workers, she is quite sure, could probably use them.
