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 of my life so far."

Sheena Southall, sinh viên 22 tuổi, rất muốn thử giới hạn của mình khi đồng ý xuất hiện trên một
chương trình truyền hình. Nó được mô tả là một trong những chương trình hấp dẫn nhất trên thế
giới.
Cô nhìn thấy một quảng cáo có nội dung: “Bạn có muốn kiếm tiền nhanh chóng và bạn có muốn
đi du lịch không?” Cô tự nhủ: “Sao mình không thử nhỉ? Tôi luôn tìm kiếm cơ hội để thử thách bản
thân.” Vì vậy, cô đã nộp đơn xin việc, đi phỏng vấn và được nhận. Tại cuộc phỏng vấn, cô giải thích

cách cô chuẩn bị cho mọi thử thách. Sau đó, ngay khi chuẩn bị đến Singapore, cô phát hiện ra rằng
mình sắp trở thành người lau cửa sổ của một tòa nhà chọc trời.
Công việc đầy thử thách. Cô phải lê mình lên xuống mang theo những xô nước nặng. Nếu cô
không lau cửa sổ đúng cách, họ sẽ bảo cô quay lại và làm lại. Nhưng cô thừa nhận trải nghiệm đó đã
thay đổi cô. Ngay khi trở về, cô đã hoàn thành việc học và tốt nghiệp. Cô bắt đầu tìm kiếm một công
việc vừa thú vị vừa khó khăn. Sheena nói: “Sẽ không có gì thú vị và đáng sợ bằng ngày đầu tiên lau
cửa sổ trên không. Nhưng nếu bạn không đối mặt với nỗi sợ hãi và chấp nhận những gì cuộc sống
mang lại cho mình, làm sao bạn biết mình có khả năng gì? Đó là trải nghiệm tuyệt vời nhất trong
cuộc đời tôi cho đến nay.”
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.

Bạn có thấy mình ngáp cả ngày ở trường không? Có lẽ bạn cần ngủ nhiều hơn. Tuy nhiên, điều
quan trọng không chỉ là bạn ngủ bao nhiêu. Những gì bạn làm trước khi đi ngủ cũng có ảnh hưởng
rất lớn đến cảm giác của bạn vào ngày hôm sau. Nếu bạn dành thời gian trò chuyện với ai đó trên
mạng xã hội hoặc đọc sách trên máy đọc sách điện tử, bạn không đơn độc.
Màn hình của tất cả các thiết bị đều phát ra một lượng lớn ánh sáng xanh, ảnh hưởng đến việc cơ
thể sản xuất hormone ngủ, melatonin, có thể thay đổi kiểu ngủ của bạn. Vì vậy, không chỉ khó ngủ
mà chất lượng giấc ngủ của bạn cũng bị ảnh hưởng. Kết quả là bạn có thể thức dậy nhiều lần trong
đêm và khó thức dậy vào buổi sáng.

Giấc ngủ là thức ăn cho não nên ngủ không ngon có thể là một vấn đề nghiêm trọng đối với bất
kỳ ai, đặc biệt là đối với thanh thiếu niên, vì não của các em vẫn đang trong quá trình phát triển. Khi
bạn ngủ không ngon giấc, bạn có thể khó tập trung ở trường, khiến việc học và đạt điểm cao khó
hơn. Nó cũng có thể ảnh hưởng đến tâm trạng của bạn, khiến bạn cảm thấy buồn bã hoặc lo lắng
Vì vậy, rõ ràng là bạn không nên sử dụng điện thoại trước khi đi ngủ. Tại sao không để nó ở
phòng khác? Không có gì trên mạng xã hội quan trọng đến mức không thể đợi được vài giờ! Bạn
nên tìm lại những cuốn sách giấy và tận hưởng cảm giác mệt mỏi, buồn ngủ trước khi đi ngủ thay vì
thắc mắc tại sao người bạn thân nhất của bạn lại không thích ảnh của bạn! Bạn sẽ thức dậy như thế
nào? Bạn không cần phải sử dụng báo thức trên điện thoại. Hãy đi mua cho mình một chiếc đồng hồ
báo thức kiểu cũ! Gần đây, những tác động tiêu cực của thời gian sử dụng thiết bị đối với giấc ngủ
đã được đưa tin nhiều, vì vậy các nhà sản xuất điện thoại thông minh và máy tính bảng đã thêm một
tính năng vào thiết bị di động có thể giúp giảm bớt những tác động này. Hầu hết các điện thoại mới
đều có cài đặt ban đêm thay đổi màu sắc của màn hình để phát ra ít ánh sáng xanh hơn. Nếu bạn
thực sự không thể tránh việc truy cập mạng xã hội vào giờ đi ngủ, hãy nghĩ đến việc bật cài đặt này
trên điện thoại của mình.
