Productivity Hacks for Great Success
No matter who we are or where we are from, we only have 24 hours each day to get things done.
Some people seem to make the most of their time, using it to achieve their goals and dreams. Others feel
that life is passing them by and they aren’t accomplishing anything. If you are in the latter group, it is not
too late to turn things around. By implementing a few simple hacks, you can start getting better results
very quickly.
If you want to become more productive, it pays to learn about the Pareto principle (which is also
known as the 80-20 rule). It states that for most tasks, 80 percent of the results we get come from 20
percent of the work we do. For example, 80 percent of the company sales usually come from 20 percent of
customers. Therefore, the trick is to focus your efforts on the key 20 percent of actions that truly matter to
greatly improve your results.
In some cases, people may be busy from morning to night but still seem to get nothing done. In this
situation, the problem might be that clear goals haven’t been set. To fix this, set some time aside to list the
things you want to achieve in life. Then, select the top three or four that you want to focus on for the next
year. Look at your goals every night before bedtime and ask yourself what are the next actions to
accomplish each day. Then, promise yourself that you will finish these tasks no matter how busy you get.
If possible try completing the tasks first thing in the morning so you are assured of success.
Another common mistake regarding productivity is not considering our energy levels. If we try to
work around the clock, we will eventually get tired and quit. Everyone needs time to sleep, eat, socialize
with friends, and unwind from the stress of the day. To make sure you don’t burn out, be sure to schedule
some time for breaks and fun activities into your schedule every day. Finally, no matter how difficult your
goals may seem, remember the old saying that “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from
41 to 48.
Carbon dating can be used to estimate the age of any organic natural material; it has been used
successfully in archeology to determine the age of ancient artifacts or fossils as well as in a variety of other
fields. The principle underlying the use of carbon dating is that carbon is a part of all living things on
Earth. Since a radioactive substance such as carbon-14 has a known half-life, the amount of carbon-14
remaining in an object can be used to date that object.
Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,570 years, which means that after that number of years, half of the
carbon- 14 atoms have decayed into nitrogen-14. It is the ratio of carbon-14 in that substance that indicates
the age of the substance. If, for example, in a particular sample the amount of carbon-14
is roughly equivalent to the amount of nitrogen-14, this indicates that around half of the carbon-14 has
decayed into nitrogen-14, and the sample is approximately 5,570 years old.
Carbon dating cannot be used effectively in dating objects that are older than 80,000 years. When
objects are that old, much of the carbon-14 has already decayed into nitrogen-14, and the molecule amount
that is left doesn’t provide a reliable measurement of age. In the case of older objects, other age-dating
methods are available, methods which use radioactive atoms with longer half-lives than carbon has.
Câu 41: This passage is mainly about______.
A. the differences between carbon-14 and nitrogen-14 B. various uses for carbon
C. archeology and the study of ancient artifacts D. one method of dating old objects
Câu 42: Which of the following is NOT true about carbon-14?
A. It and nitrogen always exist in equal amounts in any substance.
B. Its half-life is more than 5,000 years.
C. It is radioactive.
D. It can decay into nitrogen-14.
Câu 43: The word “it” in paragraph 1 refers to______.
A. any organic natural material B. carbon dating C. archeology D. the age
Câu 44: The word “underlying” could best be replaced by______.
A. serving as a basis for B. requiring C. below D. being studied through
Câu 45: The word “roughly” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to______.
A. harshly B. precisely C. coarsely D. approximately
Câu 46: The paragraph following the passage most probably discusses______.
A. why carbon-14 has such a long half-life B. various other age-dating methods
C. what substances are part of all living things D. how carbon-14 decays into nitrogen-14
