Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Kazuhiko Moriyama is betting that well-rested workers are good for business. In fact, he’s placing
real money on that bet. Employees who sleep at least six hours a night, for at least five days a week, are
rewarded points by Crazy Inc., a wedding organizer in Japan. The points can be exchanged for food in the
company cafeteria worth as much as 64,000 yen ($570) per year. Nightly rest will be tracked using an
app made by Airweave Inc., a mattress manufacturer.
More than 92 percent of Japanese over the age of 20 say that they aren’t getting enough sleep,
according to a survey by Fuji Ryoki, a health-products maker. Because of a labor shortage and long-held
cultural belief of noble sacrifice for the corporate good, Japan has become notorious for a phenomenon
called death-from-overwork, which claimed the life of an ad agency employee in 2015.
“You have to protect workers’ rights, otherwise the country itself will weaken,” Moriyama said. In
addition to encouraging sleep, the company also promotes better nutrition, exercise and a more positive
office environment. It also provides employees with child support, as well the opportunity to take company
vacations on regular business days.
There’s some evidence that more sleep will lead to improved business performance and higher
economic growth. Insufficient sleep costs the U.S. economy as much as $411 billion a year, or 2.28 percent
of GDP, according to a 2009 study by Rand Corp. For Japan, the loss is estimated to be $138 billion, or 2.92
percent of GDP. “I eventually want to reach a million employees,” Moriyama said. “I want to do something
that other people will think is crazy.”

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the
best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] India’s combination of abundant sunshine and a large, energy-hungry population makes it ideal
for developing solar energy. [II] But the main challenge in building a large number of solar farms is finding
the right place to do it, considering the shortage of land due to high population. [III] The region of Gujarat,
however, has found an answer to this problem: covering its water canals with solar panels. [IV]
Overall, Gujarat has more than 80,000km of canals flowing through the state. According to Gujarat
State Electricity Corporation, if 30% of this were converted to solar, 18,000MW of power could be
produced, saving 90,000 acres of land. The electricity generated from a “solar canal” can be provided to
farmers during the irrigation season when energy demand is usually high, and out of season it can be fed
into the state grid, sold to distribution companies so that the state can earn some profit, or used by those in
charge of the canals for specific purposes.
Building solar plants atop canals obviously helps produce clean energy and save land, but there are
also other benefits. Firstly, these special plants can be built much faster than large coal or gas power
stations. In addition, when solar panels cover the canal, they help prevent evaporation, leaving more water
for crops and people. Another plus of the panels’ shade is that it can curb algal blooms, which can have
negative effects like clogging water pumps and causing toxicity, in the canals. And the panels benefit from
the water below as well. The running water helps the panels to remain cool, which increases their efficiency
by at least 2.5 to 5%.
There are some drawbacks, however. Canal-top solar plants are more costly to construct than normal
solar plants since the panels must be built with protective materials to prevent corrosion caused by water.
Finding the right location is also difficult, as the width of the canal has to be suitable. Too wide, and the
construction becomes difficult and expensive. Too narrow, and the number of panels constructed are too few
to absorb enough sunshine. The twisting nature of the canals also leads to restrictions. To maximise the
absorption of energy, the solar panels should face south, but the canal’s direction cannot be dictated by
humans.
Nevertheless, eight Indian states have commissioned canal solar projects so far. “These innovative
projects can provide cheap and consistent electricity to millions of farmers and improve their profits,” says
Manik Jolly, who was involved in the 2015 canal-top solar plant project. And there is also potential to
maximise renewable power from India’s canals if solar farms above were combined with hydro-power from
below.
With their water-cooled efficiency, and mutual benefits for the canals that run beneath, it looks likely
that these innovative solar canals is going to become a much more common sight in India in the near future.
