CORRECT ANSWERS:

1. B
2. A

Note: In question 1, answer 'A' was a trick. It doesn't say that deep work is "quick to master", it says that deep work allows you to master complicated information quickly. @mockTashkent

'Not having enough time' is the biggest problem for most people taking the reading test. Here are some tips for dealing with this problem:


- Go straight to the first question. Don't waste time reading the full passage or the first sentence of each paragraph, and don't read any of the other questions.

- Do 'paragraph' questions last. Questions that ask you to match headings or statements with paragraphs are much easier if you are already familiar with the passage.

- Don't get stuck on one question. As soon as you realise that you are having difficulties with a question, leave it and move to the next one. Return to difficult questions later if you have time.

- Remember that the answers to most question sections are in order in the passage. You don't need to go back to the beginning of the passage to search for each answer.

- Only skim or scan for numbers and names. Otherwise, read at normal speed.

- Work with an alarm. You can't do this in an exam, but at home you could set the alarm (on your phone) for 2 minutes and try to do each question within this time.

Note: When preparing for the reading test at home, try not to worry about time at first. Your first concern should be to get the score you need, even if it takes you 3 hours instead of 1 hour to do a full test. @mockTashkent

CORRECT ANSWER:

A

This was the actual title of the article.

a weed = an invasive plant

busts bacteria = potential in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, able to disarm a virulent type of Staphylococcus bacterium, it prevents bacterial cells from communicating.

The other three answers are too general. Answer A is the only one that mentions the real topic of the article, which is the Brazilian pepper tree. @mockTashkent

Read the following summary of a book called Deep Work.

“Deep work” is the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. It's a skill that allows you to quickly master complicated information and produce better results in less time. Deep work will make you better at what you do and provide the sense of true fulfilment that comes from craftsmanship. In short, deep work is like a super power in our increasingly competitive twenty-first century economy. And yet, most people have lost the ability to go deep, spending their days instead in a frantic blur of e-mail and social media, not even realising there's a better way.

In Deep Work, author and professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. Dividing this book into two parts, he first makes the case that in almost any profession, cultivating a deep work ethic will produce massive benefits. He then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of four "rules," for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill. A mix of cultural criticism and actionable advice, Deep Work is an indispensable guide to anyone seeking focused success in a distracted world.
