It can stop anywhere, including the interval between 
sentence2 and sentence3. If you need to make
sure it only stops at pthread_wait_np, you need to use something like

while (1) do
{
  sentence1();
  sentence2();
  sentence3();
  if (need_stop) {
	pthread_suspend_np(pthread_self());
  }
  pthread_wait_np();
}

and set need_stop in another task.
