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.
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.

23
 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!

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.
