  That everyone's too busy these days is a cliché. But one specific complaint is made especially mournfully: There's never any time to read.
 
  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.
 
  In fact, "becoming more efficient" is part of the problem. Thinking of time as a resource to be maximised means you approach it instrumentally, judging any given moment as well spent only in so far as it advances progress toward some goal. Immersive reading, by contrast, depends on being willing to risk inefficiency, goallessness, even time-wasting. Try to slot it as a to-do list item and you'll manage only goal-focused reading-useful, sometimes, but not the most fulfilling kind. "The future comes at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and nearly infinite conveyor belt," writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time, and "we feel a pressure to fill these different-sized bottles (days, hours, minutes) as they pass, for if they get by without being filled, we will have wasted them." No mind-set could be worse for losing yourself in a book.
 
  So what does work? Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times for reading. You'd think this might fuel the efficiency mind-set, but in fact, Eberle notes, such ritualistic behaviour helps us "step outside time's flow" into "soul time." You could limit distractions by reading only physical books, or on single-purpose e-readers. "Carry a book with you at all times" can actually work, too-providing you dip in often enough, so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business, before dropping back down. On a really good day, it no longer feels as if you're "making time to read," but just reading, and making time for everything else.
 
  31. The usual time-management techniques don't work because .
 
  [A] what they can offer does not ease the modern mind
 
  [B] what challenging books demand is repetitive reading
 
  [C] what people often forget is carrying a book with them
 
  [D] what deep reading requires cannot be guaranteed
 
  【答案】[D] what deep reading requires cannot be guaranteed
 
  【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干回文定位到第二段第一句"what makes…management techniques don't seem sufficient",,但是這句并沒有提及原因。真正的原因是第二段最后一句"Deep reading requires not just time, but a special kind of time which can't be obtained merely by becoming more efficient"。(深度閱讀需要的不僅僅是時(shí)間,而且僅僅通過高效率所獲得的那種時(shí)間也不夠),因此選項(xiàng)D what deep reading requires cannot be guaranteed為正確答案。
 
  32. The "empty bottles" metaphor illustrates that people feel a pressure to .
 
  [A] update their to-do lists
 
  [B] make passing time fulfilling
 
  [C] carry their plans through
 
  [D] pursue carefree reading
 
  【答案】B
 
  【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干回文定位到第三段第五句:we feel a pressure to fill these different-sized bottles(days, hours, minutes) as they pass。故正確答案應(yīng)該與to fill…相一致。這句話中將時(shí)間單位天,小時(shí)和分鐘比喻成了不同大小的瓶子。而壓力來自于我們填充這些大小不一的瓶子時(shí),即把自己的時(shí)間充實(shí)起來時(shí)。故正確答案為選項(xiàng)B。
 
  33. Eberle would agree that scheduling regular times for reading helps .
 
  [A] encourage the efficiency mind-set
 
  [B] develop online reading habits
 
  [C] promote ritualistic reading
 
  [D] achieve immersive reading
