Questions 79-84 are based on the following passage.

Not all snoring is sleep apnoea.But very loud snoring,because of the obstructed airway,is sometimes a sign of it.Other symtoms are as follows : daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, high blood presure, and abrupt awakenings or periods when someone else notices that you have stopped breathing.

Untreated sleep apnoea has been linked to problem with glucose control that can lead to diabetes and with cardiovascular problems, such as an increased risk of high blood preasure. in additions,there is another potentially deadly effect : traffic accidents caused by sleepy drivers. It is not clear exactly how many such crashes there are, but sleeps experts in Europe estimade around 20 per cent.

The concern about accident has led a working group for the European Commission on Sleep Apnoea and Driving to recommend that the EU require drivers with sleep apnoea to get it under control,or else risk losing their licenses.The good nesw? "it has been demonstrated clearly now that effective treatment of sleep apnoea removes any excess risk of an auto accident." says the chairmanof the working group Dr.Walter McNicholas ,director of the Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Unit at St Vincent's Univercity Hospital in Dublin.

Two decades ago,as few as four per cent of men and two per cent women had sleep apnoea,but those numbers are increasing,in part because more people have risk factors for it,such as obesity,McNicholas says.Genetic factor may also play a role. "Figure in the regions of five to ten per cent are now regularly talked about as prevalence figures for significant sleep apnoea," he says.That translate to between 35 and 70 millions Europeans.

With more cases,comes another concern. " When you consider that you diagnose such people by the monitoring if their breathing while they slleep,then the logistics of that are immense, " notes McNicholas. As a result,a good deal of a researc is focused on ways to easily and effectively find sleep apnoea,both in sleep labs and in the home,Devices that can detect sleep patterns,or portable monitor that can tracksleep while worn to bed at home,are two promissing solutions.

Treatment can be another story. Probably the most famiiar-and at the same time most common and most effective-treatment today is CPAP, which stands for continuous positive airway pressure.The system involves a small air pump tube,and mask that cover the nose (or nose and mouth) during sleep to direct air gently in to the upper airway.

The though of sleeping with a mask for the rest of one's life in certainly off-putting to some,Puertas says. After a while,some people even develop and attachment to their devices. Says McNicholas, "They actually go to bed and snuggle up with the CPAP mask." He believes it is the body's subconscious reactions to being able finally to relax and have a restful night's sleep after months or year of untreated sleep apnoea.

Questions 85-90 are based on the folowing passage.

The pursuit of true happines can lead people to lifestyles that will not only be satisfying but will be better for the environment,according to an overview of psychological research. "For decades,consumerism has been on a collision course with the environment.Thas is,consumer appetites drain the planet of natural resource and accelerate global warning.One view is that we need to change consumption in order to save the planet," said Miriam Tatzel. "But what if we approached it from the other way around? What if what is good for the consumer meets what is good for the environment? Positive psichology ,or the study of happines,well being,and quality of life ,providers the answer to what really brings happines to consumers,Tatzel said.Several studies have determined that people's basic psychological needs include competence,autonomy,positive relationship,self acceptance,and personal growth. Research has shown that rather than fulfilling these needs,the pursuit of money and possessions take time away from more personally fulfilling activities and social relationships.

Tatzel's research illustrated how many consumer traits have direct links to the environment for both good and bad.Materialism is not only bad for the environment;it is bad for consumer's well-being. "People's wants escalate as they tire of what they have and they want somthing else,which in turn leads to more consumption and more waste in landfills,more energy consumed and more carbon emmited into the atmosphere," she said. "The larger that gap between what one wants and what one has,the greater the dissatisfaction. Less materialism equals more happiness."

Tatzel noted that another path to well-being is thrift ,which means conserving resources as well as money.Careful people are happier with life in general,according to a 2014 study,That my be because avoiding the negative consequences of spending too much and going into debt is one way to avoid unhappiness,she said.

People enjoy doing things more than having things.Other studies find that people realize more lasting happiness by changing their activities than by changing their material circumstances. "Experiences existing in memory are incomparable, often shared with others and do not have to be resource intensive," said Tatzel.

Other research has found that people are more likely to be happy when they promote personal talens and relationships more than money and fame.They will also be likely to be happy when they have an independent sense of self that results in not caring muchwhat other think of their possessions.Tatzel said when it comes to having money,studies have shown a high income may buy life satisfaction,but not happines.Research has found that people's emotional happiness is effected differently by having money than people's life evaluation,which refers to thoughts about their life. Life evaluation steadily rises with income.Emotional happiness alsi rises with income .However, research has found that there is no further progress beyond an annual income of about $75,000.

"A society with some people beig idolized for being fabulously rich sets a standard of success that is unattainableand leads us to try to approach it by working more and spending more," Tatzel said "Cooling the consumption-driven economy,working less and consuming less are better for the environment and better for humans,too"

💦 Soal No. 85

(A) human activities based on the economic desire will tend to damage environment

(C) succes in terms of economic based force humans to destroy personal value
(D) the factors causing the damage of environments lie on the economic desires
(E) it is possible to save environments if economic standards are increased

Pembahasan:

Pertanyaan tersebut menanyakan dari pernyataan yang terakhir yang ada di paragrap 7 menjelasakan bahwa Tatzel percaya bahwa kita lebih cenderung untuk menghancurkan lingkungan kita sendiri karena banyak masyarakat yang memiliki hasrat dan hanya berorientasi pada faktor ekonomi atau uang saja. Terlebih juga dijelaskan dan dinyatakan sebelumnya oleh Tatzel yang ada di paragrap 3 yakni “Materialism is not only bad for the environment; it is bad for consumers’ well being. More energy consumed and more carbon emitted into the atmosphere.” Pernyataan itulah yang menambahkan pula bahwa masyarakat hanya beroreintasi pada faktor atau kepentingan ekonomi saja.
