a. lack of sleep raises your risk of stroke or heart disease.b. it raises the levels of ghrelin, thus making us feel hungrier. c. sleeping for longer than nine hours a night may be an early warning sign. d. the scientists believe that our work hard, play hard society encourages us to sacrifice sleep and ignore our health.51. which word do you think can take the place of “disrupts” in the second paragraph? a. increases b. destroys c. affects d. reduces52. according to the passage, why dont we feel as satisfied after eating? a. because not having enough sleep disrupts the balance of two key hormones, ghrelin and leptin, which control the appetite.b. because not having enough sleep decreases the levels of leptin in our blood.c. because not having enough sleep raises the levels of ghrelin, thus making us feel hungrier. d. all above add up. 53. which of the sentences is true according to the text? a. researchers found that those who slept for less than six hours were almost 50 per cent more likely to suffer strokes and 15 per cent more at risk of a heart attack. b. those who have too much sleep arent likely to suffer a heart attack.c. but as many as 60 per cent of us do not think we are sleeping enough, with a third suffering from sleeplessness.d. trying to push too much into one day by going to bed early and getting up late could lead to serious illnesses in life54. what does the writer suggest people should do in the passage?
