21、Getting Motivated to Learn

Feeling a little unmotivated to do your schoolwork. That’s natural. It’s hard to stay focused, even when life is fairly normal. When the distractions of life tend to keep you sidetracked (拖延), get moving again with some of the following suggestions.

Don’t let others be a bad influence. “Live for the moment.” “【1】” “Don’t you want to have some fun?” “School’s a joke!” Don’t let them tell you what you want. You know what you want.

Keep your curiosity alive. 【2】 What inspires your curiosity? What do you question or doubt? Getting an education isn’t just about test scores and grades. Occasionally go beyond what your teachers require or what your textbook tells you.

Change your situation. When you find yourself completely unmotivated, you may need to change your situation. When you have a choice, seek out instructors who will inspire and encourage you; avoid those with whom you don’t seem to connect. If you find yourself with a teacher you feel isn’t the best for you, try changing your class schedule. 【3】

Use your talents and abilities. Do you have an essay to write or a speech to make? 【4】 Is music your passion? Be creative and use your talent to make your next class presentation.

Remember your dreams. What are your dreams for the future? Perhaps, you dream of writing the great American novel one day. You love writing fiction, but you feel stifled (窒息) with the writing assignments you’re given in school. 【5】 When you’re writing that essay, though, remember that those writing skills you’re learning and perfecting — even those boring grammar rules — can be applied to all of your fiction writing.

A．That’s understandable!

B．Forget that stupid class.

C．That’s impossible.

D．What are you interested in?

E．Pick a topic in which you are talented.

F．How can you keep away from boring lessons?

G．Don’t be afraid to drop a class and add another.

23、If you’ve ever learned a new language, you know how difficult it can be. Learning a new language, especially after early childhood, can be a huge task, burdened by long vocabulary lists to memorize, and troublesome tenses to master. However, it’s worth the effort. In today’s interconnected world, learning a new language can change your life. It will certainly change your brain.

John Grundy, a neuroscientist in bilingualism and the brain at Iowa State University, explains when you learn a new language, your brain gets rearranged, new connections are made and new pathways are formed. Grundy offers a useful analogy (类比): Imagine that you always take the same route to work. Then one day, the road is washed out. Now what? If you’d varied your route over the years, you’d have options already in mind. You could hop on another road. “It’s really just a remodeling of the brain that allows it to become more efficient,” Grundy says.

A 2012 study found that this remodeling can be significant. After three months of intense language study, recruits at the Swedish Armed Forces Interpreter Academy had increases in cortical (脑皮层的) thickness in areas associated with language processing.

And the remodeling doesn’t help with only language functions. Ashley Chung-Fat-Yim, who researches bilingualism at Northwestern University, says knowing a second language can help prevent cognitive decline. “There is a consistent finding that bilinguals are able to stave off symptoms of dementia (失智症) for about four to six years compared to monolinguals,” says Grundy.

If you’re thinking it’s too late, you’re probably wrong. When it comes to adding on a new one, adults aren’t at as much of a disadvantage as you might think. Chung-Fat-Yim says it’s not so much the age at which you learn a new language as the way you learn it. If you practice a lot and immerse yourself in the language, you can see the benefits at any age, especially when you get older.

【1】What can we know about learning a new language from the text?

A．It is risky.

B．It is effortless.

C．It is rewarding.

D．It is enjoyable.

【2】What happens to your brain when you learn a new language?

A．It becomes messy.

B．It becomes stable.

C．It gets more efficient.

D．It gets less creative.

【3】What do the underlined words “stave off” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Extend.

B．Delay.

C．Show.

D．Worsen.

【4】What message does Chung-Fat-Yim try to convey in the last paragraph?

A．It’s never too late to learn.

B．He who laughs last laughs best.

C．The early bird catches the worm.

D．Slow and steady wins the race.

24、  Having experienced a shocking electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, James Franco’s world became completely dark and quiet for almost ten years.
