The following text is for questions 24 to 26.

Falling asleep with the TV on or a dim night-light in your room may seem soothing. But
these seemingly innocent light sources could also form barriers between you and healthy sleep.
A study suggests that exposure to light stimulates a nerve pathway from the eye to parts
of the brain that control hormones, body temperature and other functions that play a role in
making us feel sleepy or wide-awake. Therefore, too much light right before bedtime may
prevent you from getting a good night’s sleep. In fact, one study recently found that exposure to
unnatural light cycles may have real consequences for our health including increased risk for
depression.
 Not only depression, a breast cancer care organization says that light may contribute to
breast cancer. It is resulted from the melatonin, a hormone that is believed to help reduce the
development of cancer, which is really related with light. Melatonin production normally peaks
at night and is lower during the day when your eyes register light exposure. When people work at
night or if they’re exposed to external light at night, their melatonin levels tend to stay low.
Those are now some good reasons for those having dark phobia to turn off the lights
before sleeping. If overcoming your fear of the dark isn’t reason enough to turn out the lights,
consider the impact of sleep disorders and poor sleep on your health.

24. What is the function of melatonin?

A. It helps produce the good hormone for health.
B. It may help people who are afraid of the dark.
C. It adds up your energy to work overnight.
D. It can check cancer cell n human’s body.
E. It decreases the speed of cancer growth.

25. What can we conclude from the text?

A. The best way to have good sleep cycle is turning on the dim-light.
B. Good sleep cycle can prevent people from the risk of cancer.
C. People working at night has more risks of breast cancer.
D. Melatonin peaks in the body of depressed people.
E. Light can help people dealt with their phobia.

26. “If overcoming your fear of the dark isn’t reason enough …” (Paragraph 4)
The word ‘overcoming” has equal meaning to ….
A. over thinking
B. coping with
C. coming over
D. coming late
E. over acting

This following text is for questions 27 to 29.

Sponges or Porifera are a group of animals that includes about 10,000 living species.
Adult sponges are sessile animals that attach to hard rocky surfaces, shells or submerged objects.
The larvae are ciliated, free-swimming creatures. Most sponges inhabit marine environment, but
a few species live in freshwater habitats. There are three subgroups of sponges, the glass
sponges, the demosponges, and the calcarious sponges.
Sponges are primitive multicellular animals that have no digestive system, no circulatory
system and no nervous system. They do not have organs and their cells are not organized into
well-defined tissues. The body of a sponge is like a sac that is perforated with lots of small
openings or pores.
Sponges are filter feeders. They draw water in through the pores located throughout their
body wall into a central cavity. The central cavity is lined with collar cells which have a ring of
tentacles that surround a flagellum. Movement of the flagellum creates current that keeps water
flowing through the central cavity and out of a hole at the top of the sponge called the osculum.
As water passes over the collar cells, food is captured by the collar cell’s ring of tentacles. Once
absorbed, food is digested in food vacuoles or transferred to the amoeboid cells in the middle
layer of the body wall for digestion.
