some people get off to sleep as soon as their head hits the pillow, but many others are not so lucky. in fact, the lack of quality sleep has become a public health issue around the world. according to me world association of sleep medicine, 45 percent of the worlds population suffer from sleep problems. one in eight people dont sleep well and are easily woken. 7.6 percent sleep less than 3 hours each night. some even cannot fall asleep for several days in a row.as a basic bodily and mental need, sleep is essential for our survival, it helps us to fight diseases, strengthen our memory, perform better in work and school and improve our quality of life. lack of sleep is known to have a significant negative influence on health, both in the short and long term. poor sleep has been associated with obesity, diabetes, weakened immune systems and even some cancers, as well as depression and anxiety.the world sleep day, held on the third friday of march, is an annual celebration of sleep to lighten the burden of sleep problems through better prevention and management of sleep disorders.to achieve this goal, we must figure out what causes sleepiness and sleeplessness.unhealthy lifestyle may be the first to blame. more and more people use cell phones and computers in bed, with many staying up until midnight. modern technology does make our life convenient, but abuse of it ruins our health. environmental conditions, such as temperature, noise, light, bed comfort also play an important pole in ones ability to get proper sleep. besides, improper evening diet, like a full or an empty stomach, coffee and alcohol all contribute to sleep problems. of course, when it comes to causing poor sleep, stress from finances, family or work should never be ignoredhowever, those who suffer from sleep disorders dont necessarily have to continue to do so -most sleep problems can be managed64what can be inferred from paragraph 1? anobody can stay awake for several daysbmost people are going through sleep problemscsleep problems have become a worldwide concerndthe majority of the worlds population cant sleep well65which of the following is not a direct cause of sleep problems?aunhealthy lifestyle bmodern technologycenvironmental conditions dwork stress66what will be discussed in the paragraph that follows?athe harm of sleep problemsbactivities on the world sleep daycinterviews of poor sleep sufferersdmeasures against sleep problems67which best describes the authors attitude to sleep problem in the text?adoubtful bdisapproving cconcerned denthusiasticdhumankind has tried to improve its standard of living since the very beginning of civilization. back then, as well as today, providing food and security was the basic task for a person. however, nowadays the range of required goods has expanded significantly. people feel the need for not only some primary things, such as a piece of bread and a roof over their heads, but also for various facilities and luxuries. providing humanity with these things is connected to the use of natural resources, which requires energy. in turn, the common sources of energy we use today cause pollution, so economic growth is almost unavoidably associated with environmental damage.economic growth is the increase in numbers of goods and services produced over time by an economy, and it is calculated in terms of real gross domestic product (gdp). before growth is calculated, inflation (通货膨胀)is adjusted in order to take into account its misleading effect on the price of goods and services. economic growth can also be explained as the increase in expected output, which results from an increase in actual output, or total demand.there are certain aspects of economic growth which affect the environment. the first of these is the fact that in order to produce more goods and products, at a faster rate, the construction of large industrial plants is required. these plants produce a lot of waste, leading to the pollution of water and the atmosphere, which may cause negative long term health effects to nearby populations of animals, or people. they also lead to global warming.industrial manufacturing leads to the constantly increasing energy consumption. the traditional energy sources, which are commonly used nowadays, are considered to be the greatest polluters to the environment. there also exist so-called eco-friendly sources of energy. they are sometimes preferred but replacing the traditional sources with them also requires time, during which people have to make some sacrifices to support these undertakings.in order to produce economically practical energy, a sometimes significant transformation of the natural site is often inevitable. this is expensive and, has harmful effect
