The Colosseum, or the Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum
Flavium, Italian Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo), is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the
city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire. It is considered one of the
greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering.
Occupying a site just east of the Roman Forum, its construction started in 72 AD under
the emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD under Titus with further modifications
being made during Domitian's reign (81-96). The name "Amphitheatrum Flavium" derives from
both Vespasian's and Titus's family name (Flavius, from the gens Flavia).
Capable of seating 50,000 spectators, the Colosseum was used for gladiatorial contests
and public spectacles such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of
famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for
entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing,
workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry and a Christian shrine.

Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life. Getting
enough quality sleep at the right times can help protect your mental health, physical
health, quality of life, and safety. Why is sleep important?

Sleep helps your brain work properly. While you're sleeping, your brain is preparing for
the next day. It's forming new pathways to help you learn and remember information.
Studies show that a good night's sleep improves learning. Whether you're learning math,
how to play the piano, how to perfect your golf swing, or how to drive a car, sleep helps
enhance your learning and problem-solving skills. Sleep also helps you pay attention,
make decisions, and be creative.

Physical Health often relates to sleep quality. It plays an important role in your physical
health. For example, sleep is involved in healing and repair of your heart and blood
vessels. On going sleep deficiency is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, kidney
disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and stroke.

Besides that, sleep also helps maintain a healthy balance of the hormones that make you
feel hungry (ghrelin) or full (leptin). When you don't get enough sleep, your level of
ghrelin goes up and your level of leptin goes down. This makes you feel hungrier than
when you're well-rested.

Fata Morgana is a rare form of mirage that usually plays with our eyes. It makes us see
in unusual ways. This optical phenomenon usually occurs in oases in the middles of the
deserts, in cars that pass over the water puddles on the dry roads, and when ships seem to float
in the sky over the ocean. This reflection is often blurry, extremely big, and even upside down.
In some cases, it can also be twin reflections. The name Fata Morgana itself comes from Italy,
La Fanta Morgana, which means The Fairy Morgana . The name refers to the influential fairy
sorceress in the Arthurian legends. She was a famous opponent of King Arthur and Queen
Quinevere. It was believed that this phenomenon was the work of the enchantress to lure
seamen to their death.
This optical illusion happens when the direction and the speed of the light that reflects
an object is changed by the circumstances in the atmosphere. In normal cases, the reflection of
an object makes its way through the atmosphere without distraction. Consequently, people see
the things as they are. However, in the case of this particular mirage, the atmosphere can act as
the lens that deflect the light and creates a different form of reflection of an object. This
happens due to the significant difference of air’s density and the temperature between the
layers of air in the atmosphere. When the temperature is too high, like that of a desert, the
object can appears as if it is floating above the ground. When the temperature is too low, such
as in that frozen sea or lake, the object would appears as if there are more than one similar
objects. The phenomenon is also related to some supernatural legends, such as the Flying
Dutchman.

38. What is the impact of Fata Morgana?

A. People see things which are different from what they have ever seen.
B. People can see things in ways that are not normal.
C. It can make us see ships as they are.
D. Its reflection is often clear.
E. It can harm our eyes.

39. How is a fata morgana formed ?

A. The direction and the speed of the light that reflects an object is changed by
circumstances in the atmosphere.
B. The direction and the speed of the light that reflects an object is moved by the
atmosphere.
C. When the reflection of an object that makes its way through atmosphere without
distraction.
D. When the temperature is not too high in the desert.
E. When the object is directly exposed to sunshine.

40. The name of fata morgana ………….. from Italy, La Fanta Morgana , which means The
Fairy of Morgana.
