Be selective.

You should not write down every piece of information in the book.Finding the right balance of writing enough but not too much can be a challenge, but it is the key to taking effective notes.

Paraphrase (释义) information from the text.

Paraphrasing information usually shows that you really understood what you read. It will likely be more meaningful to you later when you are reviewing your notes if you have written them in your own words.

Your notes may take on the form of a chart. You might draw yourself a timeline of events so that you can see the order that things happened and not just a list of events. The notes are your study aid, so it's best to write them in a way that makes sense to you.

Organize your notes in a meaningful way.

Depending on the subject, you may want to organize your notes in a particular way. History notes maybe most logically taken in time order. Science notes, however, may need to be taken in a particular order that shows mastery of one concept before moving on to the next.

Add visual elements if it helps you.

Visual learners are often helped by visual representations in their own notes.You may want to draw a simple comics series (连环画) to show a specific event or relationships between people. Don't let adding visual elements distract you from the task at hand, but add visuals if it will help you remember the material more effectively.

A. Use tools to aid your understanding.

B. Use a format (格式) that works for you.

C. You should write your notes in your own words.

D. Before you begin reading or taking notes, preview the chapter.

E. Nor should you write down one fact per page, or you might end up wasting precious time.

F. You might want to write down a copy of a graph (图表) instead of writing information about it.

G. It's also a good idea to separate your notes in different folders (文件夹) for each class, so they don't get mixed up.

The team, led by Zachary Knight, a professor of UCSF physiology discovered that our tastebuds (味蕾) are the first line of defense against eating too fast. The study, published in the journal Nature, provides scientists with a novel perspective on how we control our appetite and could make clear the efficacy of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic.

Truong Ly, PhD, a graduate student in Knight's lab, developed new techniques allowing for the imaging and recording of a brainstem structure critical for feeling full in an awake, active mouse. The team found that when they put food directly into the mouse's stomach, brain cells called PRLH which influences appetite were activated by nutrient signals sent from the stomach, in line with traditional thinking and the results of prior studies. However, when they allowed the mice to eat the food as they normally would, those signals from the stomach didn't show up. Instead, the PRLH brain cells switched to a new activity pattern that was entirely controlled by signals from the mouth.

"It was a total surprise that these cells were provoked by sense of taste," said Ly. "It shows that there are other components of the appetite-control system that we should be thinking about." The research indicates that when we're hungry, our brain uses taste in two different ways at the same time—one telling us to eat more because it tastes good, and another part is watching how fast you're eating and saying, "Slow down or you're going to be sick."

The research indicates that our brain integrates taste, rather than only relying on stomach signaling, to control eating behavior. The team plans to investigate how taste signals interact with feedback from the stomach to suppress (抑制) our appetite during a meal.

One popular theory (理论) is that if a person practises for at least 10,000 hours, they will reach "perfection"—or, in other words, become an expert in their field. This theory was made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008 best-selling book, Outliers: The Story of Success. He gave the examples of the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates, who clearly put in over 10,000 hours of practice before they became successful.

However, Gladwell's book has been said by many to be too simplistic and generalising. Although Gladwell's work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson, Ericsson argued that 10,000 hours was just an average figure. Some people, for example, needed far fewer than 10,000 hours, and others many more. More importantly, Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough; the type and quality of practice were also significant. He went on to explain the importance of "deliberate practice", which is when a person practises a specific part of a skill in depth rather than practising a skill as a whole. Deliberate practice is said to be much more effective, though more tiring.

Many other studies argue that practice alone is far from enough. In fact, a more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for up to 26% of reaching an expert level. Many other factors contribute to people becoming experts. Natural talent is an important factor, which is especially evident in sports. For instance, many baseball players in America have amazing vision that allows them to see the ball much sooner than others do. Besides, IQ, personality, attitude, and starting age are decisive factors, too. It is also important to note that becoming an expert doesn't equal instant success. Success also relies on social factors, environmental factors, and even just being in the right place at the right time!

In conclusion, practice may not make perfect, but deliberate practice has been shown to lead to significant improvement.

When he was young, Kadur was fascinated by Jim Corbett's tales of big cats. Inspired, he once cycled into the jungle with a friend to observe big cats at a watering hole. At night, they really saw a big cat. Bathed in moonlight, he realized his life's goal: to capture and share nature's wonders.

At 12, he borrowed his father's camera — a "magic box" that froze time. His father, an entomologist(昆虫学家), got him looking at the small things. So he began intentionally focusing his lens on small insects, trying to understand what he was looking at. He would develop the camera film weeks later, annotating(注释)the settings and reattempting the shots. As he grew older, his love for nature, however, conflicted with academics. Failing high school, he moved to Brownsville, Texas to study hotel management — a choice that unexpectedly refueled his love for storytelling.

In Brownsville, Kadur explored Mexico's cloud forests and landed a job as a jungle tour guide. There, he met filmmaker John Bax, who introduced him to documentary work. When they embarked on a documentary project together, Bax withdrew from it. Kadur, then 19 and untrained in film, pursued the project on his own. He spent three years filming India's Western Ghats, capturing species like the "smoke cat" for the first time. His debut film, Sahyadris: Mountains of the Monsoon, brought the Western Ghats' biodiversity into attention, aiding its 2012 UNESCO World Heritage status.

Through visual storytelling, Kadur offers his audiences glimpses into a rarely-seen natural world, urging them to protect its delicate inhabitants. "Visual art has conveyed stories for millennia. Now we're doing that with technology, and it will continue to advance." said Kadur, "I think the impact of storytelling can last a lifetime. It can last generations."
