21、        Stephen Hawking is one of the most famous scientists in this century. He was born in 1942. He’s a world well-known scientist and expert on space and time. Stephen is researching (研究) some very big questions, such as: How did the universe begin? How will it end?     

        Stephen was a student at Oxford University (大学). He studied Maths and Science. Then, at the age of twenty, he became sick. He was so young, but the doctors said to his family. “He has only two more years to live.” In fact, the doctors were wrong—he didn’t die. He can’t walk but he uses a wheelchair (轮椅). He can’t feed himself and get in or out of bed himself. But he refused to give in to the condition. He talks with the help of a computer. After Oxford, Stephen went to Cambridge University. Three years later, in 1965, he became a doctor of philosophy (哲学博士).

       Because of his health problems, it was difficult for him to draw diagrams (图表) or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he became one of the most famous scientists in the world. In 1981, he met the Pope (教皇) in Rome. They talked about his ideas. Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages. He was once invited to China.

22、   Many students think about how to best spend their time while studying. But what we can do before study can be important too—especially if you want to improve your memory of what you have learned.

Exercise

Before you study, doing cardiovascular exercise (有氧运动) may help you better remember what you learn. High-intensity exercise (高强运动) may be especially helpful. In a 2018 study, published in the journal Physiology and Behavior, researchers found that a group of young people who did 15 minutes of high-intensity training remembered more words.

Some studies suggest the importance of different kinds of exercise. It seems that both long, slow cardiovascular exercise and high-intensity exercise have different effects on memory. Researchers have suggested combining the two to get the best effects for your memory.

Location

Location is also important for improving your learning. While it is good to have a desk or a special study area, some research suggests that changing where you study could help you remember more of what you study.

Our memories sometimes depend on things in our environment. For example, a book might remind you of something interesting or strange you learned while reading it.

"Environmental Context and Human Memory," a famous study on memory, dealt with the question of memory and our surroundings. Researchers Smith, Glenberg and Bjork found that environmental context played a big part in how well people remembered words. The researchers noted that subjects who learned from a list remembered an average of 15.9 words, while subjects who learned in two different contexts remembered an average of 24.4 words.

Be sure to plan your location before you start to study.

Pre-study test

Students often study with a test in mind. They think the test is the final step to show how much they have learned. But taking a pre-study test is also important.

In 2018, researchers found that students who took a test before learning new material did much better after studying the material. The research was published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology.

So, try to take a pre-study test.

We have explored three things you can do before study to improve your learning. In the future, we will explore things you can do during and after your study sessions to improve your learning.

【1】According to the text, _____ before you study may help you remember better.

A.running 15 minutes

B.sleeping for a while

C.reading English words

D.drinking plenty of water

【2】What's the meaning of "combining the two" in Paragraph 3?

A.joining the two together to relax

B.doing the two things at the same time

C.doing the two things to work together

D.joining the two together to make a single one

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.Pre-study test is more important than the final test.

B.Researcher Smith suggests people remember words in a list.

C.The researchers have explored what to do after the study.

D.Environmental context can help improve human memory.

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Things to do before you study

B.How to spend your time while studying?

C.How to improve your memory?

D.Importance of studying your memory
