One of the weirdest jobs in the world is a "professional sleeper." A professional

sleeper is someone who gets paid to sleep. This job might sound like a dream come
true, but it has a serious purpose. Scientists and researchers hire people to sleep so
they can study their sleep patterns. They want to learn more about sleep disorders,
how different environments affect sleep, and how to help people sleep better.

In some cases, professional sleepers also test out beds and mattresses for
companies. They sleep on different mattresses and then tell the company which ones
are the most comfortable. It is important for them to be honest and pay attention to
how they feel when they wake up.

This job can be strange because sleeping is something most people do for free.
However, it is a demanding job because the information collected from these studies
helps scientists understand sleep better and improve products that many people use
every night. So, while it may seem odd, being a professional sleeper is actually quite
useful!

(Adapted from https://theundercoverrecruiter.com)

Question 29: What is the best title of the passage?

A. Sleeping disorders – ways to solve B. A bizarre work – professional

sleepers

C. Sleepers and ways they make money D. People who sleep for financial
reasons.
Question 30: According to the passage, a professional sleeper is someone who
__________.

A. receives money for sleeping B. gets paid to relax

C. receives money for relaxing D. gets paid to lay down

Question 31: The word "them" in the 2nd paragraph refers to _________.

A. mattresses B. companies C. sleepers D. beds

Question 32: The phrase "demanding" in the final paragraph is closest in meaning
to ________.

Question 33: According to the passage, which of these statements is NOT true
about the professional sleeper career?

B. It supports companies to enhance their products.

C. It can help people earn money for their life.

D. It is nonsense and has no specific aims.

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 34 to 40.

Working as a store assistant can be a flexible and rewarding job, especially for
students or those with other commitments. One of the main advantages of this job is
the flexible hours. You can choose to work in the morning, afternoon, or even late in
the evening. This flexibility is perfect if you have school, family responsibilities, or
other activities during the day. It allows you to balance work with other important
parts of your life.

The wage for a store assistant might not be very high when you first start.
However, many stores offer a bonus system. A bonus is extra money that you can
earn if you do your job well. For example, if you meet your sales targets or if the store
has a successful month, you might receive a bonus. This bonus is a great motivation
because it rewards your hard work and dedication. Knowing that you can earn a little
extra money by putting in effort makes the job more rewarding.

On the other hand, some parts of the job can be repetitive. You might have to do
the same tasks every day, like stocking shelves, helping customers, or cleaning the
store. At first, this might seem a bit boring, but repetition has its benefits. The more
you do a task, the better and faster you become at it. Soon, you’ll find that you can
complete your tasks with ease, which can make the workday go by quickly. Plus, this
routine can give you a sense of comfort because you know what to expect each day.

In addition to the flexible hours and the chance to earn a bonus, working as a
store assistant can also teach you valuable skills. You learn how to interact with
different kinds of people, handle money, and manage your time effectively. These
skills are useful in many other jobs and can help you in the future.

Question 35: According to the passage, what is one advantage of working as a store
assistant?
A. The opportunity to travel and go aboard. B. The chance to receive flexible
wages.
C. The ability to choose flexible work hours. D. The need to work repetitive tasks.

Question 36: The word "flexibility" in the 1st paragraph is opposite in meaning

Choosing the right career is one of the most important decisions you will make in
your life. A career is not just a job; it is something you do every day and can shape
your future. It is important to think carefully about what you want to do. First, you
should consider your interests. What do you enjoy doing? If you like helping people,
you might want to work in healthcare or education. If you enjoy working with
numbers, a career in finance or accounting might be a good choice.

Next, think about your skills. What are you good at? If you are good at writing,
you could consider a career in journalism or marketing. If you are good at fixing
things, a job in engineering or mechanics could be a great fit.

It is also important to think about job opportunities. Some careers have more job
openings than others. For example, technology jobs are growing fast, so they offer
many opportunities in that field. You should research to find out which careers are in
demand.

Finally, consider your long-term goals. Do you want to travel, work with people,
or make a lot of money?

Different careers offer different opportunities, so it is important to choose one that

matches your goals. Choosing a career is a big step, but by thinking about your
interests, skills, job opportunities, and long-term goals, you can make a decision
that will lead to a happy and successful future.

answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
from 29 to 33.

One of the weirdest jobs in the world is a "professional sleeper." A

professional sleeper is someone who gets paid to sleep. This job might sound
like a dream come true, but it has a serious purpose. Scientists and
researchers hire people to sleep so they can study their sleep patterns. They
want to learn more about sleep disorders, how different environments affect
sleep, and how to help people sleep better.

In some cases, professional sleepers also test out beds and mattresses for
companies. They sleep on different mattresses and then tell the company
which ones are the most comfortable. It is important for them to be honest
and pay attention to how they feel when they wake up.

This job can be strange because sleeping is something most people do for
free. However, it is a demanding job because the information collected from
these studies helps scientists understand sleep better and improve products
that many people use every night. So, while it may seem odd, being a
professional sleeper is actually quite useful!

trường hợp, những người ngủ chuyên nghiệp cũng thử giường và nệm cho
các công ty. Họ ngủ trên những chiếc nệm khác nhau và sau đó nói với công ty

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 34 to 40.

Working as a store assistant can be a flexible and rewarding job,

especially for students or those with other commitments. One of the main
advantages of this job is the flexible hours. You can choose to work in the
morning, afternoon, or even late in the evening. This flexibility is perfect if
you have school, family responsibilities, or other activities during the day. It
allows you to balance work with other important parts of your life.

The wage for a store assistant might not be very high when you first start.
However, many stores offer a bonus system. A bonus is extra money that you
can earn if you do your job well. For example, if you meet your sales targets or
if the store has a successful month, you might receive a bonus. This bonus is a
great motivation because it rewards your hard work and dedication. Knowing
that you can earn a little extra money by putting in effort makes the job more
rewarding.

On the other hand, some parts of the job can be repetitive. You might
have to do the same tasks every day, like stocking shelves, helping customers,
or cleaning the store. At first, this might seem a bit boring, but repetition has
its benefits. The more you do a task, the better and faster you become at it.
Soon, you’ll find that you can complete your tasks with ease, which can make
the workday go by quickly. Plus, this routine can give you a sense of comfort
because you know what to expect each day.

In addition to the flexible hours and the chance to earn a bonus, working
as a store assistant can also teach you valuable skills. You learn how to interact
with different kinds of people, handle money, and manage your time
effectively. These skills are useful in many other jobs and can help you in the
future.

lặp lại. Bạn có thể phải làm cùng một công việc mỗi ngày, như sắp xếp
kệ, giúp đỡ khách hàng hoặc dọn dẹp cửa hàng. Lúc đầu, điều này có vẻ hơi

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 29 to 33.

Choosing the right career is one of the most important decisions you will
make in your life. A career is not just a job; it is something you do every day
and can shape your future. It is important to think carefully about what you
want to do. First, you should consider your interests. What do you enjoy doing?
If you like helping people, you might want to work in healthcare or education. If
you enjoy working with numbers, a career in finance or accounting might be a
good choice.

Next, think about your skills. What are you good at? If you are good at
writing, you could consider a career in journalism or marketing. If you are good
at fixing things, a job in engineering or mechanics could be a great fit.

It is also important to think about job opportunities. Some careers have

more job openings than others. For example, technology jobs are growing fast,
so they offer many opportunities in that field. You should research to find out
which careers are in demand.

Finally, consider your long-term goals. Do you want to travel, work with
people, or make a lot of money?

Different careers offer different opportunities, so it is important to choose one

that matches your goals. Choosing a career is a big step, but by thinking about
your interests, skills, job opportunities, and long-term goals, you can make a
decision that will lead to a happy and successful future.
