24、 Is It Better to Read Books or Listen to Them?
We often think how fast we learn something depends on how smart we are. If your brain is taking in material quickly, you’re clever; if not, well, that doesn’t say great things about your IQ. But science shows context (上下文) and technique (技术) actually play a big role in how fast we learn, and even small changes – like the way you use to read – can make a big difference.
Audio (音频的) books have plenty of advantages: you can enjoy them anywhere, even in the car, and not printing books saves trees. Poor readers also often find them more interesting. But according to the latest research, if your goal isn’t to pass the time in traffic, but instead to learn something difficult, you should choose a physical book.
In a recent opinion piece in the New York Times, psychology (心理学) professor Daniel T.Willingham mentioned a 2010 study where 48 students either read or listened to an article about child psychology. Although the students spent the same amount of time with their material and did about the same number of distracting (分散注意力) activities while they absorbed the information, they scored very differently on a 10-item quiz later. Generally, the readers scored 81 percent but while the listeners scored 59 percent. Why does listening vs reading material have such a great effect on learning?
Willingham explains that first, most of us read more slowly than we listen (especially when pausing and rereading), and when you’re trying to absorb new information, slower seems to be better. “About 10 to 15 percent of eye movements during reading are actually regressive – meaning the eyes are going back and re-checking,” he explains to TIME. “This happens very quickly…”
Second, books offer visual cues (可视线索) that help our brains organize and understand new information. Things like chapter breaks, subheadings, and lists help us in making sense of the material and understanding how it fits together. You lose all that when you go the audio way.
The bottom line is simple: Don’t feel shame about passing your time in traffic with an audio book. However, be aware of audio’s limitations when it comes to studying, and seriously consider choosing good old-fashioned reading instead.
【1】According to the writer, you should choose to read a book to ______.
A.take in the information B.pass the time in traffic
C.learn something difficult D.organize new information
【2】A “physical book” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.
A.an audio book B.a book about physics
C.a book about computer D.a book made of paper or cloth
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A.To read a book is better than to listen to it.
B.Readers are cleverer than listeners.
C.Reading books is a good way to pass time.
D.How fast we learn depends on how smart we are.
25、
These days, adults are worried about the growing number of kids who are overweight, and guess what? Kids realize it’s a problem, too. Most kids who are overweight have too much body fat, no matter how old they are and how tall they are.
The number of the overweight kids has increased a lot over the last 30 years. In the United States, about 20% of the kids aged 2 to 19 are overweight. That’s bad news because being overweight can lead to health problems.
Overweight kids also may be laughed at by other kids, or feel sad about the way they look. Most kids said it was harder for overweight kids to make friends. So lots of kids said they had tried to lose weight. Here are the ways they tried.
Eating healthy is usually the best ways to lose weight, and 70% of the kids knew that. If kids are worried about weight, experts suggest they think about where they should go for answers. They can talk to a nurse or a doctor as the best help.
Doing sports is another right way to lose weight. There are many ways to stay active: dancing, yard work, running, swimming or even walking around the mall or playing outside. Make exercise fun by choosing activities you like.

26、 Good study habits will help you make full use of your time and learn better. Here is some advice from US scientists.
Study the same thing in different places. You may have a regular place to study-a quiet room or a corner of the school library. But scientists say it helps you to remember if you study the same thing in two different places. For example, you can read your Chinese textbooks in your classroom and in the school garden. See if you remember what you learned better than if you had read the same thing twice in the classroom.
Don't just learn one skill at a time. Have you ever seen athletes training? They usually do strength, speed and skill training together. Our brain works like that, too. It is better at learning different skills than just one at a time. For example, if you are studying English, you may want to study vocabulary, grammar and reading all at the same time.
Space out(间隔开) your studying. Most of you may have had the experience of studying for a long time the night before a test. That may get you a good grade on an exam, but you will soon forget the things you learned. Scientists found that spacing improves your ability to remember things. You can study for an hour tonight, an hour on the weekend, another hour a week from now. Then you won't need to stay up all night for a test.
【1】US scientists gave us ________ pieces of advice to study better.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE?

B. You should learn one skill at a time.

D. You should study only the night before a test.

27、 How can you change negative ( 极其负面的) thoughts? Many people suggest thinking of something bright and happy. However, scientists from Queen’s University in Canada said that there might be another way: by walking like a happy person.
“It is not surprising that our feeling affects how we walk, but we want to see whether the way we move also affects how we feel,” explained Nikolaus Troje, the lead scientist, to The Independent.
Scientists believe that the way we remember emotional ( 情绪的) messages is affected by our mood. Those who feel sad remember negative information far more easily than positive messages, especially when the information is about them.
In order to prove(证明)this, Troje and his team watched 47 people walking on the treadmill (跑步机) by cameras. Half of the people were encouraged to follow a depressive walking style, while the other half moved like a happy person. Walking speed was kept the same for both groups.
Meanwhile, the scientists read out a list of positive and negative words, asking people to decide whether or not each word described them well. Afterwards, people were asked to recall as many words as they could remember.
As expected, those who followed a depressed walk recalled more negative words than those that walk in a happy manner.
This shows that our walk influences the way we deal with information. And the scientists believe that using a happy walking style could help with treatment for depression.
【1】Scientists from Queen’s University think that we can change negative thoughts by .
A.remembering emotional messages B.thinking about a happy person
C.walking like a happy person D.hanging out with friends
【2】What does the underlined word “depressive” mean in Paragraph 4?
A.快乐的 B.快速的 C.慢的 D.抑郁的
【3】What do we know about Troje’s test?
A.Scientists took photos of the walking styles of 47 people.
B.47 people recalled all the words after walking.
C.47 people were asked to walk at different speeds.
D.Those who walked like a happy man recalled more positive words than those that followed a depressed walk.
【4】According to the story, the scientists’ findings can help .
A.treat depressed patients B.improve one’s acting skills
C.deal with memory loss D.encourage people to exercise

At night the man planned to go out to steal. Before home, he said to , ‘If tomorrow the prophet asks me I have been, shall I say that I went out stealing? No, I say that. But neither can I lie. If I tell the truth, everyone will call me a .’ So the man not to steal that night.
Next day, when he was going to wine, he thought, ‘ shall I say to the prophet if he asks me what I did during the day? I cannot tell a lie, and if I tell the truth, people will me, because a Muslim(伊斯兰教信徒)is not to drink wine.’ So he gave up the idea of drinking wine.
