How to Study Smarter，Not Harder

Here are some of our favorite study tips that will help any student study smarter，not harder：

Recite As You Study

Reciting—saying things out loud should first take place as you read through each paragraph or section. Test yourself. This will help you to understand as well as learn faster because it is more active than reading or listening. It will also help you to notice your mistakes and the topics you have trouble understanding.

Take Fuller Notes

Notes should be in your own words，brief and clear. They should be tidy and easy to read. Writing notes will help you better than just underlining as you read，since it forces you to rewrite ideas in your own words.

Study the Middle

The best time to review is soon after you’ve learned something. You are more likely to remember the material at the beginning and the end of the lesson，so make sure you focus on the middle when you review.

Sleep On It

Study before going to bed，unless you are very tired. It’s easier to remember material you’ve just learned after sleeping than after an equal period of daytime activity，because your brain continues to think even after you’ve fallen asleep.

Combine Memory and Understanding

There are two ways to remember：by memorizing and by understanding. Multiplication tables(乘法表)，telephone numbers，and math formulas(公式)are better learned by memorizing(记忆).Ideas are best learned by understanding.

The more ways you have to think about an idea，the more meaning it will have；the more meaningful the learning，the better you can remember it. Pay attention to similarities in ideas and concepts，and then try to understand how they fit in with things you already know. Never be satisfied with anything less than a completely clear understanding of what you are reading. If you are not able to follow the thought，go back to the place where you first got confused and try again.

21. You can notice your mistakes by .

A. taking notes B. studying the middle

C. saying things out aloud D. sleeping on it

22. When taking notes，you should to better help you with reading.

A. underline important notes B. take down every detail

C. write as quickly as possible D. write notes in your own words

23. Which of the following is NOT helpful for your understanding?

A. Reading from the beginning to the end without stop.

B. Thinking about an idea in different ways.

C. Relating ideas and concepts with what you already know.

D. Going back to what first made you confused and start again.

My late(已故的) father was a great believer in reading newspapers the first thing in the morning，a habit he passed down to me.

Every day，I need news，features and comics，along with the smell of printing ink，with breakfast，even if I have searched the Internet earlier in the morning. When I sit down to eat my bread，the newspaper has to be there. When it is late，my wife says I look lost.

Some need coffee in the morning. I need the newspaper，except when I’m on vacation. Then，I trade the routine for coffee，unless the hotel hangs a newspaper on my door.

However，the sword of Damocles(达摩克利斯之剑) hangs over my routine—a day may come when there won’t even be a newspaper. My younger friends insist this is the way newspapers will go. Maybe not in five or ten years，maybe it will take 20 years but the future of newspapers is unsure.

My younger friends rarely read the print media these days. They want their news either on-screen or in a cool，small package they can take anywhere and read at any time. The iPad and other similar gadgets(小玩意儿) will change our lives，I’m told. Even e-book readers，after a bad start，appear to be back on track because of the iPad.

They insist we’re now in the twilight(衰退期) of the newspaper business and the iPad may help to end it. Such a future is not something I like. Sure，there’s the Internet but it’s just not the same.

So here’s a little exercise for those who don’t want to read the newspapers any more. Buy one，find a quiet corner at home and spare an hour without distractions. Turn off your mobile phone，TV and PC，and lock up your wife，kids and pets. Start reading，from the first page to the last，and all the different sections and advertisements. When you reach the last page，you would have an experience that modern gadgets cannot offer.

D. he hasn’t searched the Internet in the morning

A. reading the newspaper B. surfing the Internet

26. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. It is unnecessary to read every part of a newspaper.

B. Reading newspapers is a great experience.

C. Reading newspapers is a good way to kill time.

D. A quiet place is important for reading newspapers.

27. Which of the following is TRUE about the author?

A. He used to read newspapers in the morning.

B. He never searches the Internet in the morning before breakfast.

C. He thinks the Internet is the same as print media because both can give him information.

D. He was influenced by his father to form the habit of reading the newspaper.

Experts have put forward detailed plans for a tunnel to join Taiwan with the Chinese mainland.

The shortest proposed route would be 126 kilometers more than twice the length of the English Channel Tunnel. And the longest proposed route would be 207 kilometers.

A recent conference in Xiamen，Fujian Province brought together more than 70 experts. The event was co-sponsored(共同赞助) by universities from Taiwan and the Chinese mainland.

Fujian is the province where both proposed routes would begin.

There is direct passenger access between the mainland and Taiwan by air or sea at the moment.

Experts say that it is better to start research sooner rather than later，although there is a lack of government funding. There are no technical problems to build a Taiwan tunnel. But it will require an improved political relationship across the Straits(海峡).

A professor of Tsinghua University said，“A special feature of huge projects is that the period of preparation is longer than the period of construction.”

“For example，” he said，“the English Channel Tunnel took 14 years of planning and had been discussed for two centuries. And preparations for the huge Three Gorges(三峡) dam on the Yangtze River began in the 1950s.”

The Xiamen conference focused on the longest southern route，which would pass Jinmen and Penghu.

The first stage of the new project could be a bridge to cross the five kilometres between Xiamen and Jinmen. This would mean that traveling from Xiamen to Jinmen by car would only take five minutes.

The longest tunnel now being planned anywhere in the world is the 54-kilometre land tunnel
