Questions 1/1

Paragraph  2
      What makes the problem thornier is that the usual time-management techniques don’t seem sufficient. The web’s full of articles offering tips on making time to read: “Give up TV” or “Carry a book with you at all times”. But in my experience, using such methods to free up the odd 30 minutes doesn’t work. Sit down to read and the flywheel of work-related thoughts keeps spinning—or else you’re so exhausted that a challenging book’s the last thing you need. “The modern mind”, Tim Parks, a novelist and critic, writes, “is overwhelmingly inclined toward communication…It is not simply that one is interrupted; it is that one is actually inclined to interruption”. Deep reading requires not just time, but a special kind of time which can’t be obtained merely by becoming more efficient.
1. The usual time-management techniques don’t work because ___________.

  • Awhat they can offer does not ease the modern mind
  • Bwhat challenging books demand is repetitive reading
  • Cwhat people often forget is carrying a book with them
  • Dwhat deep reading requires cannot be guaranteed
