文章大意:本文主要介绍了一个新的学习方式——整体动作反应法。

【推荐1】According to a survey, many people think genes (基因) and intelligence (智力) have something to do with students’ success or failure. But there aren’t any researches to support this opinion. And in fact, it is not right at all. There is one thing that can finally decide students’ success or failure. That is how they learn. A few students are clever and lucky. They find good ways for themselves to study every subject well. But others aren’t so lucky like them. They don’t find correct ways of their own and fail in the end.

To students, what is the best way to learn languages? Dr. Asher found a way called “Total Physical Response”. This was helpful to students. Studies in San Jose State University showed that if students moved their bodies when learning English, they were able to learn a lot more new words and grammar in a very short time. But if they sat still and didn’t move, they could learn less. And after a year, the students who moved their bodies when learning remembered 80% or more things they learned. But others forgot more than 80%.

Now you may know how to learn English. Keep moving when you learn. So when you listen to a story or an article, do actions as soon as you hear it. And you can imagine you are the person in the story or the article. By doing this, you can learn more English and you can remember it longer. The most useful is that you can use it more easily. Stop your old method. Try this one at once!

【推荐2】The world is not only hungry but also thirsty for water. About 97% of water on the earth is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink or use the other 3% of the fresh water which comes from rivers, lakes and underground. On the other hand, because the number of people in the world is becoming larger and larger, more and more fresh water is needed. So water shortage(短缺) becomes a big problem .

How can we work out this problem? Scientists have found some ways to turn salt water into fresh water. One important way is to boil you sea water with high heat (高温), leaving the salt . In this way, a lot of fresh water can be made quickly.

文章大意:本文主要是在介绍一种应对多任务处理带来的压力的方法。
【推荐3】

David Strayer never texts or talks on a phone when he is driving. Strayer is a famous psychologist at the University of Utah. His research (研究) shows that, when driving using a phone can be as dangerous as drinking alcohol.

Strayer and other scientists warn against multitasking (多任务处理). When we do many things at the same time, Strayer says our brain becomes tired easily. So we may make mistakes and lose focus (专注). Dr. Gloria Mark, a digital media researcher, a teenager spends between 7 and 11 hours a day in front of a screen—doing homework, texting, watching videos—often all at the same time. However, when we spend hours on digital devices, our overall productivity decreases (下降).

Many digital activities require high levels of concentration (专注力). When we text or email someone, for example, we need to use even more energy. Too much multitasking reduces our ability to think clearly and creatively. This can result in stress.

What is the best way to help us lower too much stress? David Strayer says the answer is simple: Spend some time in nature.

Strayer and other scientists are studying nature’s effect (影响) on our brains and bodies. When we are in natural environment, the brain’s control center relaxes. Studies show that when people can see trees and grass, they do better on different tasks.

Other psychologists are also studying “nature therapy (疗法)”. In a study at Chiba University in Japan, a researcher named Yoshifumi Miyazaki found that forests walkers did better than the city walkers. He has an explanation for these results. “Our bodies relax in the natural environment,” he says, “Humans evolved (进化) in that environment, not in places with tall buildings and lots of traffic. This allows our brains to rest and recover from the stresses of city life. Imagine a therapy that could improve your cognitive ability at zero cost. Why not try it at once?”

A.Research shows that spending time in nature can reduce stress.
B.Long working hours is the main reason to rising levels of stress.
C.More people today are improving their natural environment.
D.For a better life, people should move away from cities.

A.watching a movie with a group of friendsB.taking a lot of photos during a visit to a park
