For those with busy schedules, the demands of schoolwork can seem __61__. Luckily, there is help – in the form of

technique is easy. First, set a timer for 25 minutes. During that time, work steadily and avoid any __65__ like social
media. Then, when the 25 minutes are up, it’s time for a five-minute break. Each of these half-hour unites is called one
Pomodoro. Keep working, and after four Pomodoros, you’ll be ready for a more __66__ break of 15 to 20 minutes.

IV. READING COMPREHENSION: 14% (2% for each)
Which sounds tastier: a rat, a pig, or a cricket? Chances are one of those foods is something you eat often, and
another is something you wouldn’t swallow unless you absolutely had to.
All of the animals listed above are fine sources of nourishment. It’s only our cultures that insist one is a meal while
another is a crime. In Southeast Asia, insects often show up on people’s plates. Besides being tasty, they provide protein
and other nutrients, and they are a perfectly normal part of a meal. A ham sandwich is a common lunch in the West, but it
is absolutely taboo for ay Muslims and Jews. A juicy steak? Don’t serve that to guests in India. Chances are more than
5
one will be Hindu and would be horrified at eating beef. Dogs are man’s best friend in North America and Western
Europe. Most people living there would rather survive on shoe leather than eat their pals. In parts of Africa, Asia, and
the Pacific, however, eating dogs is no big deal.
Some taboos cover body parts rather than whole animals. Fish eyeballs are eaten with delight in Thailand, but
removed from most restaurants in the USA. Argentines are happy to barbecue and eat bulls’ testicles, but they would
make many Americans squeamish. Pigs’ and chicken’ feet are eaten in many parts of the world, but in almost as may, the
idea of eating the part of an animal that touched the ground is disgusting or even insulting.
Non-meat foods can also be taboo. In many cultures, fungi are an expensive delicacy. Because they grow at night,
thought, they are banned by some schools of Hinduism and Buddhism. Some Hindu and Buddhist secs also forbid garlic,
onions, peppers, and other strong spices, believing that strong flavors incite strong passions they want to avoid.
There are no universal laws when it comes to food. If it can be chewed, swallowed, and digested, somebody out
there is eating it and probably enjoying it.
66. What is the main topic of the article?
(A)Food taboos are the same across cultures.
(B)The most common food taboos.
(C)Why food taboos came to exist.
(D)Our cultures dictate what we eat.
67. Where is eating insects common?
(A)South America (B)Western Europe (C)Southeast Asia (D)North America
68. What don’t many Muslims and Jews eat?
(A)Pork (B)Sandwiches (C)Western food (D)Fungi
69. What fourth paragraph discusses taboos of certain religious sects. What is a sect?
(A)The main document used by a religious group, which holds their prayers.
(B)The regional leadership of a larger religious or cultural group.
(C)The overall leadership of a religious group.
(D)A smaller part of a larger religious group, which has different beliefs.
The Nobel Prizes were created by Swedish scientist and businessman Alfred Nobel, who used his fortune to fund the
awards after his death. He wanted his money to go to people from all over the world who made great achievements in
physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and peace. Later a sixth category was added for economics.
The 2018 prize for physics was given to Donna Strickland. A Canadian scientist and professor, Strickland was
honored for work she did with lasers in the 1980s. She discovered a way to compress laser beams to produce very bright
and very fast bursts of light. The technique she developed makes it possible to use lasers in delicate eye surgeries and
other medical procedures. Strickland’s award makes her only the third woman to have received a Nobel in physics since
the awards were first introduced in 1901. This is the lowest representation of women in the five original categories.
Marie Curie was honored in 1903 for the discovery of radioactivity. In 1963, Maria Goeppert Mayer won the prize for her
work on the atomic structure.
It has been noted that this lack of diversity can also be seen in academics. In the US, women make up only 20 % of
undergraduate and graduate students in physics. A gender gap can often be seen in other areas in science and math. If
you’re shocked that so few female physicists have received Nobel Prizes, you’re in good company. During her press
conference, Strickland said she was surprised there hadn’t been more women winners.
70. Why did Nobel want to set up the awards?
(A)To raise money for global charities.
(B)To highlight the best and brightest Swedish scientists.
(C)To praise people who made great discoveries.
(D)To have a big party every year.

71. What is now possible because of Strickland’s work with lasers?
(A)Surgeons can perform operations on the eye.
(B)Clubs can match pulsing light with music.
(C)Doctors can scan a person’s bones.
(D)Medicine is now heaper to make.
72. In what academic areas is there a large gender gap?
(A)Art and literature.
(B)Science and math.
(C)Psychology and psychotherapy
(D)Communication and marketing.
