form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

My

head

was

so

full

of

digital

noise

(21)________

it

felt

like

my

brain

Was

about

to

explode. I had no greater power of concentration than a goldfish and the lifeless stare of a goldfish

as well. As a writer, I was ashamed to admit that my love of books had been weakened by a brain

that simply could not sit still. So, at the start of this year I committed to restoring books to the

place

that

they

held

in

my

life

before

the

Internet

broke

my

brain.

My

goal

was

52

books:

It

seemed like an impossible task. A 400-page book will take the average person around eight hours

to read. Finding the time to read was a challenge but here's how I did it. Firstly,I decided to treat

my

mind

like

a

child

(22)________

(behave)

badly

and

lay

down

some

ground

I

decided

that

I

(23)________(read)

for

an

hour

or

two

at

a

time

distraction

each

was something I hadn't done in years and it was scary (25)________ difficult it was.

In his book, The Distracted Mind, Larry Rosen says that the more we practice spending

time

away

from

our

electronic

devices,

the(26)________

(calm)

and

more

focused

we

become.

And this is what I found. Again and again, I would gently bring myself back to the page, resisting

the

urge

(27)________(reach

)

for

that

screen.

I

took

inspiration

from

Nikki

Gemmell,

who

describes in On Quiet, how investing in a safe to lock away her family's devices for long periods

had opened up a space for deep reflection.

For me, finding that quiet time meant finding time in my day just to read. It was a date

between

me

and

my

book.

And

it

meant

actively

choosing

to

read

at

times

(28)________

I

ordinarily would reach for my phone. I read on the tram, at the park, in red at night and on lunch

breaks.

(29)________ (renew) my love affair with books, I created a sacred space where I pressed

pause and found inspiration, knowledge and reflection. In our modern world, reading for the sake

of reading is not selfish. It is a powerful and beneficial way to slow down and be(30)________.

Beauty contests, whether organized with noble (38)________ or just for fun, have attracted

criticism since they were first held. Some critics object to the focus on physical beauty, especially

emphasis on a certain stature and body shape. Further, they point out that some participants will

or

plastic

surgery

achieve

the

perfect

appearance.

Despite these complaints, beauty maybe only skin deep, but (39)________ it and competing for

the glory of being the fairest of them all holds a timeless and universal (40)________.
