Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2. A late surge in university applications is putting extra pressure on sixth-formers to achieve top grades in their exams. Figures out today show almost an 8 per cent increase-about 42,000-in applications for full-time study at university, the biggest in eight years, with many of the applications received in December and January. The recession and rising unemployment have been blamed for the increase. The high number of applications will mean that pupils who are offered places on popular courses, or at prestigious universities, who do not attain their predicted grades will have less room for tactic. Adults hoping to retrain are also fuelling the boom: the number of applications from candidates aged over 24 rose by 12.6 per cent. This is despite a withdrawal of funding for people wanting to retrain in a different sphere, by studying an equivalent or lower qualification than one they already held. Universities and higher education groups welcomed the increase in applications but criticised the Government for restricting places and funding. Wes Streeting, president of the National Union of Students, said: "It is hugely encouraging to see a record-breaking number of applications to Britain’s universities, but we remain concerned about the number of places available as a result of the cap on numbers imposed by the Government. While Some had speculated that demand would fall, applicants of all ages are clearly making the correct assessment that it is better to invest now in their education and training." "We understand the pressures on public finances, but the Government must also make the right long-term decisions. It is surely better to bear the cost of additional university places now than to shoulder the burden of long-term unemployment later." Diana Warwick, chief executive of Universities UK, which represents vice-chancellors, said: "Applicants are making informed choices and thinking carefully about the value of higher education." "With the increase in mature applicants, it is encouraging that people are looking to upskill during a difficult time for the jobs market." "We call on government to ensure that this growth is matched with continued financial support," she added. Due to the surge in university applications, the six-formers have to face______than previous years.

Passage OneEconomists say confidence in the U.S. economy has improved since the financial crisis began, but it is still at a very low level. This week, the New York-based Conference board said its consumer confidence is about half of what it was this time last year. As people struggle to deal with job losses and dwindling retirement funds, their outlook of the country’s economic situation remains pessimistic during the biggest consumer spending time of the year. Claire Rusk, a shopper in Alexandria, Virginia, says she is changing her holiday spending habits this year because of the economic crisis, even though her nine-year-old son expects Christmas as usual. "His list is longer than ever, so l was listening to how you tell him that his list better be shorter this year," she said. Rusk says the crisis is forcing her to think hard about her purchases. "I’m just going to be more careful. I’m going to make a list. I’m not going to randomly shop," she noted. "I usually just go out and shop, but I’m going to have a plan before I go out this year." And Rusk is not alone. Kilmer Caban, a shopper at the Pentagon City Mall outside Washington, D.C., says he is going to try to spend the same amount for gifts as last year, but he knows some of his family members are cutting back. "My sister and her husband say they will not be spending as much, due to the cost of gas and the economy and everything," he explained. Some retail store owners, who normally make the bulk of their profits this time of year, are hopeful that the holiday shopping season will still be able to pull them out of the recent slump. Victoria Birkett, the owner of’ Embellishments, a gift store in Alexandria, Virginia, says she’s a little worried, but she is looking forward to the holiday rush. "In this retail business I have cut my order down a little bit from prior years, but I can see people are being a little more cautious in their spending," she said. "I’m a little concerned, but it is just before Thanksgiving, so I’m hopeful that things will pick up just after Thanksgiving." Birkett says her gift shop has not felt the effects of the economic crisis as much as other store owners she knows because it is close to Washington D.C. and benefits from tourism. Alexander McCall, a manager at Game Stop, in the Pentagon City Mall remains optimistic as well. "People are a little bit more careful with their money now, the spending has gone down a little, but I think all in all its going to be a good business holiday for everybody," he said. Despite the slump in consumer confidence McCall still expects demand for some items to rise next month. Kilmer Caban is mentioned in order to stress that______.

A. few shoppers can keep their spending habits
B. Claire Rusk faces the same situation
Christmas is the biggest spending time
D. the economic crisis has a sweeping influence

To assess the (78) of sleep deficit, researchers have put subjects (79) a set of psychological and performance tests requiring them, for instance, to add columns of numbers or recall a passage read to them only minutes earlier.
