**Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.

Some words may be highlighted read carefully.** 

When it comes to your health, sleep plays an important role. While more sleep won’t necessarily prevent you from getting sick, skimping on it could adversely affect your immune system, leaving you susceptible to a bad cold or case of the flu. To keep yourself sniffle-free this season, here’s what you need to know. Sleep and cytokines, without sufficient sleep, your body makes fewer cytokines, a type of protein that targets infection and inflammation, effectively creating an immune response. cytokines are both produced and released during sleep, causing a double whammy if you skimp on shut-eye. Despite numerous studies proving the negative health impacts of poor sleep, experts say many people still don’t prioritize getting enough sleep. Chronic sleep loss even makes the flu vaccine less effective by reducing your body’s ability to respond. Stock up on naps to stay healthy, especially during the influenza season, get the recommended seven to eight hours of sleep a night. This will help keep your immune system in fighting shape which protects you from other health issues including heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.  If your sleep schedule is interrupted by a busy workweek or other factors, try to make up for the lost rest with naps. Taking two naps that are no longer than 30 minutes each —one in the morning and one in the afternoon—has been shown to help decrease stress and offset the negative effects that sleep deprivation has on the immune system.  If you can’t swing a half-hour nap during the workday, try grabbing a 20-minute siesta on your lunch hour, and another right before dinner. Other healthy tactics, of course, there’s more to boosting your immunity and guarding against illness than getting ample sleep. It’s also important to practice smart stay-healthy strategies such as washing your hands with soap regularly, avoiding close contact with people who are obviously under the weather and talking with your doctor about getting an annual flu shot.  And remember: Even if you do come down with a case of seasonal sniffles, you’ll be able to bounce back faster if your body is well-rested. Sleep experts say there is ample evidence that shows that when people get the sleep they need, they will not only feel better but will also increase their odds of living healthier, more productive lives.

**Read the passage given below and answer the following questions.

Some words have been highlighted in the passage for your attention.**

The future is about access, anywhere learning and collaboration, both locally and globally. Teaching and learning are going to be social and interactive. Schools of the future could have a traditional cohort of students, as well as online-only students who live across the country or even the world. Things are already starting to move this way with the emergence of massive open online courses (MOOCs).

The future of technology in education is the cloud.

Schools will only need one major thing to be prepared for the future. They will not need software installed, servers or local file storage. Schools will need a fast-robust internet connection. Infrastructure is paramount to the future of technology in education.

Teachers can use the cloud to set, collect and grade work online. Students will have instant access to grades, comments and work via a computer, smartphone or tablet. This is where devices come in.

All devices no matter which ones we will use in the future will need to access the cloud.

Each student will have their own. Either a device specified by the school or one they have chosen to bring in themselves.

School classrooms are going to change. With the cloud, the world will be our classroom. E-learning will change teaching and learning. Students can learn from anywhere and teachers can teach from anywhere.

The cloud can also encourage independent learning. Teachers could adopt a flipped classroom approach more often. Students will take ownership of their own learning. Teachers can put resources online for students to use. These could be videos, documents, audio podcasts or interactive images.

All these resources can be accessed via a student's computer, smartphone or tablet. As long as they have an internet connection either via Wi-Fi, 3G, or 4G they are good to go.

Rather than being 'taught' students can learn independently and in their own way. There is also a massive amount of resources online that students can find and use themselves, without the help of the teacher.

This, of course, means the role of the teacher will change.

What we must remember is that when schools adopt new technology and services, they must be evaluated. This way, as a school, you know if they are successful and what improvements are needed. Staff will also need training; you can't expect staff to use new technology if they are not confident users or creators. Any initiative is doomed to failure without well trained, confident staff who can see how technology can support and benefit teaching and learning.

Plenty of schools have already embraced this, but there's still a long way to go to ensure all schools are ready for the future of technology. It is time for all schools to embrace the cloud.
