Read the following passage  and mark the letter (A, B, C or D) on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each for  the question  from 61 to 70.            The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where staff physicians practice a special integrated approach to patient care, is one of the lasgest medical facilities in the world. The clinic staff consists of a 12-member, committee-based of governors and 900 physicians and medical personnel whose records are updated by approximately 200 auxiliary personnel. About 800 resident doctors assist the full-time physicians as a phase of their training in medicine and surgery while they acquire their specializations. The Mayo approach to treatment has been hailed for its almost miraculous patient recovery rate.            William Worral Mayo was born in Manchester, England, immigrated to the United States in 1845, and immediately began his medical training. In 1860, he took an active part in organizing the Minnesota Territory and accepted the position of an Army surgeon during a Sioux Indian outbreak. This appointment became a stepping stone for his advancement to the post of provost surgeon for the southern portion of the state in 1863. His personal dedication and courage became legendary when a cyclone struck Rochester, and he was placed in charge of an emergency hospital.            William Worral Mayo provided crucial assistance to his sons in launching their team practice in 1889, while they were holding positions at St. Mary’s Hospital. William James became recognized for his surgical skill in gallstone, cancer, and abdominal operations. He and his brother, Charles Horace, founded the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine and donated $1.5 million to establish the foundation for contributions. Charles William, the son of Charles Horace Mayo, became a member of the board of governors at the Mayo Graduate School and an alternate delegate to the United Nations General Assembly before retiring from the clinic in 1963.            William James Mayo presided in the American Medical Association and served in the Army military corps as a brigadier general in the medical reserve.  Charles Horace was a professor of surgery and a health officer of Rochester subsequent to serving in the armed forces between 1914 and 1918. The Mayo practice became known far and wide for its success in surgical procedures. In 1914, the practice moved into its own medical center, and today the number of patients equals approximately 280,000 per annum. Since the clinic opened in 1907, 4.5 million patients have been treated there.

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 question s from 55 to 64 . Sleep is a natural process, and although a lot have been written about the subject, it is still surrounded by mystery. It is used by some as an escape from the world, and regarded by others as an irritating waste of time: some people get by on very little, others claim they cannot exist without at least ten hours, but nobody can do without sleep completely.Our night’s sleep does not just consist of a steady phase of gradually deepening sleep. It alternates between two stages: Non-dreaming or ordinary sleep, and REM (rapid eye movement) or dreaming sleep. As soon as we fall asleep, we go straight into non-dreaming sleep for an hour or so, then into REM sleep for about 15 minutes, then back into non-dreaming sleep. It alternates in this way for the rest of the night, with non-dreaming sleep tending to last longer at the beginning of the night. Non-dreaming sleep occupies three-quarters of our night’s sleep, about a quarter of it deep and the rest fairly light.It is widely believed that sleep repairs the body and makes good the damage caused by being awake. However, its main function is to refresh the brain. Experts believe that probably only about two-thirds of our sleep is necessary for repairing and refreshing the brain, with the most valuable sleep coming in the first few hours of the non-dreaming period, the last few hours of sleep are not so essential. The brain can manage quite well with reduced sleep as long as it is uninterrupted sleep. The quality of sleep is important. A study conducted in the USA looked at short sleepers, who slept for 5.5 hours on average, and long sleepers, who had 8.5 hours or more. It is discovered after a variety of tests that the long sleepers were poor sleepers, had twice as much REM sleep as the short sleepers, appeared to sleep longer to make up for poor sleep, and did not wake up in the morning refreshed. Similarly, people who sleep deeply do not necessarily get a better quality of sleep than shallow sleepers. Deep sleepers can feel tired the following day, so six hours of good sleep is worth more than eight hours of troubled sleep. From Awakening to Sleep – American Psychological Association
