DOCTOR: Okay, well perhaps we can start with your questions then. STUDENT: Well, the first thing I'm not sure about is whether people in general are sleeping less than in the past. I've written reports on the internet which give conflicting information. DOCTOR: It's good to see you are checking your facts. The internet can be unreliable. As you know, today the average person gets about 7.5 hours sleep every night, which is a bit less than the recommended 8 hours. However, without the interference of electric light bulbs and alarm clocks, people usually sleep for 9 hours. And this was the case up to the early part of the 20th century. STUDENT: I thought so. And is it natural for people to just sleep at night, like most people do now? DOCTOR: The sleep patterns we have developed are for the convenience of the working day, not to suit our body clocks. Most people have a tendency to feel sleepy after lunch, but because of the way our days are structured, most of us just have a cup of coffee and carry on, when we should let ourselves have a short sleep. But a constant need to nap is a sign that people aren't getting enough sleep at night, which is a problem that seems to be getting worse. STUDENT: I've read that it's a problem that affects teenagers in particular. DOCTOR: Uh-huh, that's correct. A lot of teenagers are getting far too little sleep, and there are concerns that this could have a serious long-term impact on their health. But we don't know for sure yet. Researchers are also looking into how far a lack of sleep affects young people with depression. But one study is clearly demonstrated that high school students getting low grades also get on average one hour less sleep than students getting A's and B's. STUDENT: Really? Why do you think teenagers aren't getting enough sleep? DOCTOR: Well, it's an interesting question. It's a problem that seems to affect all teenagers, not just the ones who eat the wrong things and who don't take any exercise. So my feeling is that parents need to take more responsibility. Too many teenagers watch TV in their rooms or play computer games until very late, or they're allowed to go out on school nights. STUDENT: Hmm. Some of my friends say they stay up late because they can't get to sleep if they go to bed earlier. DOCTOR: Well, there are things you can do to make yourself feel sleepy. Your brain needs to switch off and relax, so don't have any drinks that contain caffeine, which includes hot chocolate and a lot of soft drinks. Reading a book you know well, or listening to a story rather than music should help your brain to
relax. STUDENT: So you shouldn't do your homework just before going to sleep? DOCTOR: Oh, definitely not. School should be careful how much homework they set because working late in the evening doesn't help people to get a good night's sleep. It would be better for schools to stay open for longer so that pupils can do their homework before they get home to avoid this problem. Another thing that some schools have tried successfully is to begin the school day half an hour later, which seems like a good idea to me. STUDENT: Well, that's very interesting. Thank you, Dr. Reed. PART 2. For questions 6-10, listen to an extract from a radio programme about climber Annabelle Bond and decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F). Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. (0.5 pts) 6. It took Annabelle Bond about a year to climb the seven mountains. T 7. Only four people have climbed the peaks faster than Annabelle. F 8. Annabelle came to Europe to attend boarding school in 1977. T 9. She raised £8,500 for a cancer charity. F 10. She plans to do more climbing in the near future. F TRANSCRIPT In this week's edition of Amazing Feats we are reporting on the extraordinary achievement of the climber, Annabelle Bond. It took a huge physical effort, and a considerable amount of money, but Annabelle Bond has just flown back to her home in London after becoming the fastest woman ever to climb the highest mountain in each of the seven continents. The feat took her to Nepal and Tanzania, Argentina, Alaska and Antarctica, Australia and Russia, with the odd avalanche in between. She scaled the summits in 360 days. Not only is this the fastest time ever for a woman but it's also the fourth fastest for a climber of either sex. According to Annabelle, the best experience of all was seeing the top of Everest. Annabelle Bond is the daughter of Sir John Bond, the head of the bank HSBC. She was born in Singapore in 1969 and grew up in Jakarta and Hong Kong, coming to Europe at the age of eight to attend boarding school, first in England and then in Switzerland. Her grandmother, Christine, was a pioneering female climber in the 1920s. Returning to Hong Kong in 1991, Ms Bond spent the next eight years working as an estate agent. It was then that she started running mountain half-marathons and setting records, fitting her training in between her appointments with clients. Initially, she had been the kind of person who did not think that she could run for more than an hour. However, she finally decided that buying and selling houses was not what she really wanted to do and in 2000, she left the estate agent's where she'd been working and headed for Sun Valley, Idaho, to ski and climb.
A trip to Everest base camp, where she fell madly in love with the dramatic scenery, further whetted her appetite for climbing and she decided to attempt to climb the highest peak in each of the seven continents: Mount Everest in Asia, Mount Elbrus in Europe, Aconcagua in South America, Mount McKinley in North America, Kilimanjaro in Africa, Mount Kosciuszko in Australia and Vinson Massif in Antarctica. Ms Bond was twice admitted to hospital with frostbite and said she felt lucky to survive Everest after two climbers who joined their party died on the descent. In Ms Bond's view, however, the biggest problem had been keeping to the schedule, as each mountain had to be climbed in the right season. It was also a challenge to stay fit and healthy while living on little other than freeze-dried food. She said the ascents had raised £ 850,000 for the Eve Foundation, a charity that was set up in memory of a friend who died of cancer. With the money she raised she was also able to pay for the education of the children of her Sherpas in Nepal. She is swift to point out that it has all been something of a team achievement, the climbs being completed with guides from a New Zealand adventure company and filmed by a cameraman. However, fellow climbers agree that getting up Everest is a feat in itself. Tom Prentice, the author and former editor of Climber magazine, said that it was a fantastic achievement for anyone to have climbed the seven highest summits on all the continents. He added, however, that there were many much harder peaks than some of the summits on the list. Ms Bond is aware that she has had 'mixed reviews' in the climbing world but she's been impressed by the lack of chauvinism she has encountered and said everyone had been very supportive. When she returned to London, she said she was happy to be back but was feeling a bit jetlagged. The pleasures of life back in London for Ms Bond are those of home comforts like a shower and a loo, and seeing family and friends again after nearly a year living mainly in tents. So, what next for Annabelle Bond? She's in demand as a celebrity speaker, but says that she isn't sure quite what she will be doing in the future. Although she says she certainly isn't rushing off to climb any mountains, she nevertheless wants to do something that will push her to the limit again. PART 3.
