Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.
The world's population reached five billion on the day I was born. That was in Indonesia back in 1987, and my parents were amazed that there were so many people on the planet. However, since then the population has continued to increase.
The growth of our human population is extraordinary . For more than two million years, humans lived with no permanent home, finding plants to eat and hunting animals for meat. Then, just 10,000 years ago, we invented agriculture. At that time, there were only about five million humans, but this fgure quickly doubled. The population reached a billion in 1805, and since then it has multiplied seven times.
The human population has never been bigger, but in some ways the planet seems to be getting smaller. In the past, travellers from Europe to Indonesia spent months at sea. Now you just have to sit on a plane for a few hours. When you arrived in another country a hundred years ago, you saw unfamiliar styles of clothing and architecture and discovered a completely different culture. In many places today, clothing and new buildings are very similar, and people enjoy the same sports, music, flms and TV shows. We also buy the same products from huge, global companies. In our different continents, we are starting to live the same lives. Even the languages that we use are becoming more global. There are around seven thousand languages in use today, but the number is decreasing fast.
The same thing is happening around the world. Experts think that the number of different languages will halve to just 3,500 by the end of this century. Where will it stop? Will there be a time in the future when Earth's billions all speak just one language, and there are no cultural differences to divide us? Perhaps the planet would be more peaceful if this happened, but I must admit that the idea is quite depressing. I prefer to think that, as our population grows, we can celebrate not the similarity but the fascinating diversity of the human race.

Students who stay up all night to cram for an exam are doing themselves more harm than good, according to research into the link between sleep and memory published yesterday.
Scientists at Harvard Medical School discovered that people who deprive themselves of sleep so that they can study until the last minute are unlikely to remember anything that would improve their performance, while suffering the crippling effects of fatigue . The scientists found that the brain needs good-quality sleep immediately after practicing a task if it is to learn to improve at it. Those who substitute study for sleep, particularly those who miss deep or “slow-wave” sleep will get little benefit from their extra effort.
The findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, add to a growing body of evidence that sleep is vital to the learning process. The results, Professor Stickgold said, suggest that a good night’s sleep immediately after learning is “absolutely required” to embed new skills in the memory. “We think that the first night’s sleep starts the process of memory consolidation,” he said. “It seems that memories normally wash out of the brain unless some process nails them down. My suspicion is that sleep is one of those things that nails them down.”

HOW SAFE IS SOCIAL NETWORKING?

Social networking has changed the way we communicate with each other. We can now connect with people all over the world in an instant. But is it as good as so (43)......... people seem to think it is? Personally speaking, I've got nothing against social networking sites if people use them responsibly. (44)........., when people share too much information about themselves, you may end up with serious privacy issues. This is especially true for younger users, such as pre-teens, (45)......... may reveal more than they should. They may often do this without realizing that everyone can see what they've posted online - not just their friends. Then, there's the whole question of cyber bullying - where people use the sites to spread damaging (46) about someone. That of behaviour is completely unacceptable. Something should really be done about this. I know that sites allow you to block someone who behaves inappropriately, but is this enough? If I was a parent, I would do whatever it took to ensure my child's online (47) ..........
