Test 2 Reading comprehension 1 Sleep deprivation If you lay awake late at night worrying about your finances you re not alone. The credit crunch is taking its toll on sleep habits, with people losing valuable shut-eye every night, according to a new research. Nearly half of people interviewed claim they are getting a worse night s sleep than before, mostly thanks to the economic downturn. Conducted in March in the US, the survey of more than 1,000 people reveals the extent of sleep lost each night across the country as men and women toss and turn worrying about the economic crisis. Twenty-eight percent of people are suffering from at least one hour of less sleep each night than in previous years, with men more badly affected than women. And one in eight people are losing at least two hours more sleep per night than before the credit crunch kicked in. Not surprisingly, the research reveals that money worries are the No. 1 sleep-depriver, cited by 38 percent of those surveyed. Furthermore, Americans are also having restless nights worrying about their families. High up the list of things stopping people from nodding off at night are worries relating to: * Job security (21 percent) * Food bills (16 percent) * Paying mortgage or rent (15 percent) * Cost of heating bills (13 percent) Sleep deprivation has a negative effect on productivity and stress levels. At a time when people are worrying about financial security, most people said that lack of sleep made it hard for them to concentrate, while 31 percent said it was more difficult to focus at work. Worryingly, the effects of sleep loss have been cited as being similar or worse than the effects of drinking alcohol to excess. Twenty percent of people say they are more likely to argue with their partners when they are sleep-deprived, while a few have even admitted to snapping at strangers. 9
Fill in the gaps with figures from the article. The research revealed that 1. of people slept at least one hour more before than they do now. 2. of those interviewed said they could not sleep well because they were worried about being laid off. 3. One in people said they had more arguments at home. Find words in the text that correspond with the meanings given below. 4. Very important because there is not much of it 5. Decline; a tendency downward, especially in business or economic activity. 6. The degree to which something happens 7. The money you borrow from a bank to buy a house 8.

Reading comprehension 2 Union strike ends Machinists union members ratified a new contract with The Boeing Co. on Saturday, ending an eightweek strike that cut the airplane maker's profits and stalled jetliner deliveries. The vote by members of the union, which represents about 27,000 workers at plants in Washington state, Oregon and Kansas, was about 74 percent in favor of the proposal five days after the two sides tentatively agreed to the deal and union leaders recommended its approval. The workers are expected to return to Boeing's commercial airplane factories, which have been closed since the Sept. 6 walkout, starting Sunday night. "This contract gives the workers at Boeing an opportunity to share in the extraordinary success this company has achieved over the past several years," Mark Blondin, the union's aerospace coordinator and chief negotiator, said in a union news release. The union has said the contract protects more than 5,000 factory jobs, prevents the outsourcing of certain positions and preserves health care benefits. It also promises pay increases over four years rather than three, as outlined in earlier offers. The union members, including electricians, painters, mechanics and other production workers, have lost an average of about $7,000 in base pay since the strike began. They had rejected earlier proposals by the company, headquartered in Chicago. "We're looking forward to having our team back together to resume the work of building airplanes for our customers," Scott Carson, Boeing Commercial Airplanes president and CEO, said in a statement. "This new contract addresses the union's job security issues while enabling Boeing to retain the flexibility needed to run the business... and allows us to remain competitive." The work stoppage was costing the company an estimated $100 million per day in deferred revenue and postponing delivery of its long-awaited 787 jetliner, which has already been delayed three times, and other commercial planes. The strike came amid surging demand for Boeing's commercial jetliners, which include 737s, 747s, 767s and 777s. Boeing has said its order backlog has swollen to a record $349 billion in value. It remains unclear how long it would take Boeing's commercial aircraft business to return to pre-strike production levels, but the company's chief financial officer, James Bell, has said Boeing hopes it would take less than two months. 11
Decide if the following statements are true or false according to the article. 10. The strike that began on Sept. 6 lasted for about two months. 11. 27,000 workers at Boeing Co. in 3 US states agreed to make an end to the strike. 12. The Machinists Union s strike resulted in a $100 million loss for Boeing. 13. The new contract that has been ratified promises a pay rise for four years for all Boeing workers. 14. Machinists Union leaders were in favour of the proposals concerning the new contract. Give short answers to the following questions. 15. 16. Mention 2 negative effects the Machinists Union s strike had on Boeing Co. (a, b) 17. 19. Mention 3 things the union managed to achieve in the new contract ratified with Boeing. (a, b, c) 20.
