Câu hỏi: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 48.
Do you know that sleep is more important than food? A person who does not sleep dies at a younger ag than a person who does not eat. Let's say you go to sleep 12 hours later than you usually do. It will take your body about three weeks to return to normal. We spend about one-third of our lives in sleep. That is about 121 days a year!
How much sleep do we need? We are all different. A baby needs 16 hours of sleep every day. Children 6 to 12 years old need an average of 10 to 12 hours to sleep. A teenager needs 9 to 10 hours of sleep. An adult needs an average of 7 to 8 hours a night. There are some people who need only 3 hours of sleep. Others need 10 hours of sleep. After the age of 50, the average sleep time goes down to 6.5 hours a night. We need less sleep as we get older.
Most people have some nights when they cannot sleep. About one in three Americans have problems with sleep. Many of them cannot fall asleep or stay asleep. The name of this problem is insomnia which means "no sleep". Some people say, "I didn't sleep all night". They may sleep lightly and wake up several times. In the morning, they only remember the times they were awake, so they think they were awake all night.
Many famous people in history had insomnia. Some of these people had special ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin, the famous American statesman, and inventor had four beds. He moved from one to the other to fall asleep. King Louis XIV of France had 413 beds and hoped to fall asleep in one of them. Mark Twain, the famous American writer, had a different way. He lay on his side across the end of the bed!
A. A third of Americans have difficulty with sleeping.
B. Benjamin Franklin had many beds as a method to deal with insomnia.
C. Some people need only three hours of sleep at night.
D. We spend over half of our life sleeping.
