second exam in english

Part one : Reading and interpreting :


Read the text carefully then do the activities :


According to recent medical research , sleeping more than nine hours or less than six hours a night can shorten your life expectancy .those who are likely to live longuest are people who regularly get between seven and eight hours a night .


A new survey of 1000 adults conducted by the Better Sleep Council (BSC) found that few people understand the important role sleep plays in normal daily brain functions ,and many people actually decrease their brain power by getting too little sleep .One in three adults admit that they do not get enough sleep , and lack of sleep is leaving millions of people without the energy to work as hard as they should .Although a large number of people say that they need to be mentally alert in their work , over half of the people interviewed say that they sleep just under seven hours a night during the weekend .On the other hand most of the people interviewed say that they sleep more sven hours a night at the weekend .This suggests that a significant number of people try to catch up on their sleep at the weekend instead of getting enough sleep during the week when they most need it .


According to this survey , nearly half of the population believe that the brain rests when the body sleeps . In fact the opposite is true .Sleep allows the brain to go to work naturally , filling and storing the day's events .Most people incorrectly think the brain resting or re cuperating during sleep .Actually some parts of the brain are more active when you are asleep , confirms Dr Mark Mahowald , director of the Minnesota Regional Sleep Disorder Center ." your brain is like cluttered desktop at the end of the day .At night , when you are asleep and no more information can be put on the desk , or in your brain , your brain can then file away the information "

[السلام عليكم: كيف الأحوال؟ اليوم درنا اختبار في الفلسفة شعبة علوم تجريبية. أنا اخترت الموضوع الثاني,إليكم الاختبار:
ـ عالج موضوعا واحدا فقط :
الموضوع الأول:
هل الدراسة العلمية تقوم على عقلنة الظواهر فقط؟
الموضوع الثاني:
دافع عن الأطروحة التالية: " إنّ الرياضيات عقلية.وبالتالي فهي فطرية".
الموضوع الثالث:
حلل النص التالي:

هل يجوز لنا الحكم بصحة الاستدلال بحوادث الماضي على حوادث المستقبل دون الرجوع إلى أي مبدأ عقلي كمبدأ الاستقراء؟أعني هل يمكن أن نعتمد في أحكامنا الاستقرائية على التجربة الحسية وحدها دون الرجوع إلى أي مبدأ لا تكون التجريبية الحسية مصدره؟
أفرض مثلا أن رجلا قفز من نافذة على ارتفاع بعيد من الأرض فهل هناك مايبرر الحكم بأنه سيسقط حتما على الأرض وأنه لن يتجه اتجاها آخر. كأن يرتفع إلى السماء أو يتحرك في خط أفقي؟ سيجيب رجل العلم ورجل الشارع عن السؤال بالإيجاب استنادا إلى الخبرة السابقة في سقوط الأجسام.وقد يقول المعترضون هذا ترجيح لا يقين.
ونحن نجيب نعم والعلوم الطبيعية كلها قائمة على الترجيح لا اليقين.لأن اليقين لا يكون إلا في القضايا التكرارية التي تقول جديدا كالقضايا الرياضية أما القضايا الاخبارية التي تنبئ بجديد دائما معرضة لشيء من الخطأ.ولذا فصدقها احتمالي.
زكي نجيب محمود.

شو رأيكم فيه,أرجوا أن تحاولوا حله
