Ways to Make Studying More Fun
The "S" word draws various responses from teenagers. Some students are eager to dive in and tackle the books. Regardless of your attitude to studying, one thing is for sure — it has to be done. So why not look at how you can make the process more enjoyable?
·Try hands-on learning. Consider going on a field trip to experience the topic first-hand. For example, if you're studying marine biology, you can take a trip to the aquarium (水族馆). If it's math you're trying to make sense of, talk with a structural engineer about how they figure out the load of a structure.
· Getting together with a friend or a group of classmates can help you learn new study techniques while still getting a few laughs. Try having a debate about a topic you're trying to learn. With a larger group, you can test each other's knowledge by making quizzes and creating true or false mini-tests.
·Break it up. Plan scheduled study breaks every hour and take part in an activity you enjoy. Before you take a break, write down what you have learned during your study time and add to this list each time you take a break.
·Leave the house. Study at your favorite coffee shop or bookstore. If the weather is nice, head to a park or the beach. If you're a mover, hit the pavement for a run and listen to a podcast (播客) that covers the topic you're studying, or grab a friend and quiz each other while you run. .
A. Assess study skills.
B. Study with a partner.
C. Others have perfected the art of avoidance.
D. Go for a quick walk, talk with a friend or eat a snack.
E. Some of your best thoughts come when you're moving your body.

4、 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Last summer, two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana, to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco. The houses were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they hold Twitter engineers.
The cottages could be an example of the industry's odd love for "low technology", a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual — so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by hand in the late eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example, but Twitter's designs lie on the extreme end. Other companies are using a broader interpretation of low technology that focuses on nature.
Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can "work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting." At Google's office, an entire floor is carpeted in grass. Facebook's second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking path.
Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over the years. "We have lost the connections to the maker in our lives, and our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的), because they're surrounded by the digital world," he says. "They're looking for a way to regain their individual identity, and we've found that introducing real crafts is one way to do that."
This craft-based theory is rooted in history. William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. "Without creative human occupation, people became disconnected from life," Morris said.
Research has shown that natural environments can restore our mental abilities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to "forest-bathe", taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.
These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environments. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office — even simple views of trees and flowers — felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying. If low-tech offices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.
(1)、Why did the writer mention the two nineteenth-century cottages?A、To show that Twitter is having a hard time. B、To show that old cottages are in need of protection. C、To show that early settlers once suffered from a dry climate in Montana. D、To show that Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology.(2)、Low technology is regarded as something that ____.A、is related to nature B、is out of date today C、consumes too much energy D、exists in the virtual world(3)、What's the main idea of Paragraph 5?A、Human beings have destroyed many pre-industrial arts. B、Human beings have a tradition of valuing arts and crafts. C、Human beings can become intelligent by learning history. D、Human beings can regain their individual identity by using machines.(4)、What can be the best title for the passage?A、Past Glories, Future Dreams B、The Virtual World, the Real Challenge C、High-tech Companies, Low-tech Offices D、The More Craftsmanship, the Less Creativity -
5、 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)."
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
(1)、Why does the passage begin with two questions?A、To introduce the main topic. B、To show the author's attitude. C、To describe how to use the Internet. D、To explain how to store information.(2)、What can we learn about the first experiment?A、Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer. B、The two groups remembered the information equally well. C、The first group did not try to remember the information. D、The second group did not understand the information.(3)、In transactive memory, people ____.A、keep the information in mind B、change the quantity of information C、organize information like a computer D、remember how to find the information(4)、What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?A、We are using memory differently. B、We are becoming more intelligent. C、We have poorer memories than before. D、We need a better way to access information. -
6、 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
My first newsroom was in a grand building with tall arched windows that dominated a street corner in the small Midwestern city where I worked. Inside, there was a high ceiling. "Did this used to be a bank?" many visitors would ask. But it had in fact, always been a newsroom.
I was young and shy when I first went to work there, and it probably took me a month before I talked to any of the other reporters. But eventually, they became my best friends, the core of my social life.
My second newsroom was the airy top floor of a historic building in the state capital of Maryland. It was smaller and less grand but far more energizing. My colleagues were older. I learned so much about how to be a reporter from overhearing their phone interviews.
This past summer, several American newspapers announced they would be closing their newsrooms. Many local newspapers have gone out of business in recent years, victims of declining circulation and shrinking advertising dollars. Then along came the coronavirus pandemic, and so many of us were sent home to work from there. The pleasant surprise is that we have all succeeded brilliantly in working remotely. But some managers have looked at this success and thought: "Why would we need to return to the newsroom?"
I worry that they are making a big mistake. A physical newsroom sends a powerful message to a community: "We are here for you." At my first job, strangers could walk right through the door and straight up to my desk. We treasured that visibility.
But I also think about the collaboration (合作) — of the times I would overhear colleagues talking about a story and realize that I had some useful information for them. Sometimes a colleague would see me in the hall and give me a story idea. I can't wait to get back to my newsroom.
(1)、How was the author's first newsroom different from the second one?A、It sat in a big city. B、It used to be a bank C、It was in a historic building. D、It was in a grand building(2)、How did the author benefit from her second newsroom?A、She overcame her shyness. B、She made her best friends there. C、She could overhear others' argument. D、She gained experience from her colleagues.(3)、What does the underlined part "this success" in paragraph 4 refer to?A、Journalists worked effectively at home. B、Newspaper circulation was increasing. C、Newspaper advertising was profitable. D、Journalism survived the pandemic.(4)、Why is the author against closing newsrooms?A、Newsrooms serve as a close tie. B、She will be out of work as a result. C、Newspapers will disappear due to it. D、It is against the will of communities. -

With the rise of language apps, learning a new language is perhaps more popular than ever. There is no doubt that language learning apps have benefits as a supplement (补充) to formal education. Here are some underrated ways to learn a new language.
One of the most common advice for language learners is to consume films and shows in the language they are learning. In fact, they don't help a new learner to follow. The cartoons are often made up of basic phrases and words that one would learn at a primary level. Plus, cartoons usually come with clearer and slower pronunciation, which will help learners adapt to understanding without subtitles.
There is another choice: listening to podcasts and songs in the language you are trying to master. Not only can you pick up idioms, but you can also explore various topics to enlarge your vocabulary and understand differences within various contexts. Being exposed to the rhythm of native speakers will also help your learning, and you can achieve all of this while developing a fondness for the culture.
When practising speaking, one runs the risk of making mistakes or embarrassing oneself when attempting to practise in public or with a native speaker. So, instead, start small. Speak to your pet or an inanimate object around the house. The goal is to get used to sounding the letters. producing the accent and getting the words out.
Another creative method to put your writing skills to test is to keep a pen pal. Ideally, find someone who is not only fluent in the language you are learning, but who is also learning a language you are fluent in. Through the exchange of letters, you not only get to practise your writing skills but can also provide feedback to each other. .
A.Tell them about your day or describe how you feel.
B.If watching cartoons is not your cup of tea, fear not.
C.Plus, everyone gets a friend through a foreign stamp.
D.So can foreign speakers gain fluency within weeks or months?
E.Understanding of the films and shows depends heavily on subtitles.
F.Instead, a step down the ladder would be to watch children's cartoons.
G.But it is unrealistic to expect master y of a new tongue simply through their use.
