Robby was 11 years old when his mother (a single mom) sent him to have his

C

Ever wonder why you can go over a book again and again and still be lost when tested on what you read? It may be because you haven't practiced remembering.

Remembering is a useful way to help us learn. Some of us remember best by listening, others by re-reading, and others learn best by using pictures and diagrams(图表).Schools try many of these different ways to help students “download” new information.

But a recent study from Purdue University, US, says that successful learning means being able to recall information at any moment.

“Our view is that learning is not about studying or getting knowledge in memory,”said Jeffrey Karpicke, the lead researcher “Learning is about retrieving (寻回).So it is important to make retrieval practice an important part of the learning process.”

The research studied two groups of students Both groups learned something from a text. One group made diagrams about the text. T his method is called concept mapping(概念映射).The other group put the text away after learning it and tried recalling the concepts from memory.

Then, both groups were tested on the information they had learned. Both groups scored well at recalling the learned information. However, when they were asked to return one week later, the group who made diagrams scored better than the group who did not use concept mapping. So by drawing concept maps, we are able to recall information far better, which will help us to study.

Our mind, just like our body, has to practice activities to become good at them.

( )21. Which of the following ways of remembering is NOT mentioned in paragraph 2?

A. Listening.

B. Re-reading.

C.Speaking.

D. Using pictures and diagrams.

( )22.According to Jeffery Karpicke, learning is about .

A. studying knowledge from memory

B. getting and recalling knowledge

C.practicing drawing photos and maps

5/ 11

D. getting knowledge from memory

( )23. What does the underlined part “concept mapping” in paragraph 5 mean in Chinese?

A.心电图

B. 概念图

C. 规划图

D. 线路图

( )24. When both groups were tested on the information after one week?

A.They both scored well

B.The group that didn’t use concept mapping scored better

C.Neither of the groups scored well

D.The group using concept mapping scored better

( )25. What can we tell from the story?

A. Our minds need to practice to remember things.

B. It’s impossible to remember everything we've learned.

C. How to get knowledge by concept mapping.

D. Concept mapping is the only way to learn
