Sheena Southall, a 22-year-old student, was keen to test her limit when she agreed to appear on a TV show. It has
been described as one of the most fascinating shows in the world.
She saw an advert which said: “Do you want to make some quick cash and do you want to travel?” She talked to
herself: “Why don't I have a try? I'm always looking for an opportunity to test myself.” So, she applied for the job,
went for an interview, and got it. At the interview, she explained how she was prepared for any challenges. Then,
just as she was leaving for Singapore she found out that she was going to become a skyscraper window cleaner.
The job was challenging. She had to pull herself up and down carrying heavy water buckets. If she didn't clean the
windows properly, they would tell her to go back and do it again. But she admits the experience has changed her. As
soon as she got back, she finished her studies and graduated. She started hunting for a job that would be both
exciting and tough. Sheena says: “Nothing will ever be as exciting and scary as that first day of cleaning windows
up in the air. But if you don't face your fears and accept what life offers you, how will you know what you are
capable of? It has been the best experience ofmy life so far.”

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 questions from 36 to 42.
Do you find yourself yawning all day at school? You probably need more sleep. However, it is not just how much
sleep you get that is important. What you do before bedtime also has a huge effect on how you feel the next day. If
you spend time chatting to someone on social media, or reading a book on your e-reader, you are not alone.
All devices' screens give out a large amount of blue light, which affects the body's production of the sleep
hormone, melatonin, which can change your sleep patterns. So it is not just getting to sleep that becomes hard, but
the quality of your sleep also suffers. The result is that you can wake up several times during the night, and have
difficulty getting up in the morning.
Sleep is food for the brain, so not sleeping well can be a severe problem for anyone, especially for teenagers,
because their brains are still developing. When you do not sleep well, it can be difficult to concentrate at school,
which makes it harder to learn and get good grades. It can also affect your mood, making you feel sad or anxious.
So, it is clear you should not use your phone before you go to sleep. Why not leave it in another room? Nothing on
social media is so important that it cannot wait a few hours! You should rediscover paper books and enjoy feeling
tired and sleepy before bedtime rather than wondering why your best friend has not liked your photo! How will you
wake
up?
You
do
not
have
to
use
the
alarm
on
your
phone.
Go and buy yourself an old-fashioned alarm clock! The negative effects that screen time is having on sleep have
been in the news a lot recently, so manufacturers of smartphones and tablets have added a feature to the mobile
devices that can help reduce these. Most new phones have a night-time setting that changes the colour of the screen
so that it gives out less blue light. If you really cannot avoid going onto social media at bedtime, think about turning
on this setting on your phone.
