Everyone is born with the ability to learn. There are normally two types of learning in our daily life and study — active learning and passive (被动的) learning. 1. This will help you develop a habit of active learning gradually.

2. I bet that no one sits down to read with the purpose of not getting the contents. But I’m sure that some of you have been in a situation, probably more than once, where you read an assignment, closed the book and thought “what the word was about”. 3. Active readers, on the other hand, set goals and check their understanding as they read. When they finish, they can explain the main points and know that they’ve seen what they have read.

Active learners think about information deeply and critically. Being thoughtful is an important part of active learning, because it means that you are analyzing and absorbing the information. 4. For instance, you may make connections between the new information and what you already know, identify concepts that you may not understand very well, or evaluate the importance of what you are reading. An active learner considers constantly in this way. In contrast, passive learners may read the text and listen to lectures and even understand most of what is read and heard. 5.

All in all, behavior of an active learner and a passive one varies greatly. Equipping yourself with study strategies (策略) of active learners may eventually help you become one of them

A.Passive learners won’t be strict with themselves.

B.You need to know some differences between them.

C.In other words, you are processing what you read.

D.However, that important step of reflecting on it is not taken.

E.Active learners accept much of the responsibility for learning.

F.When interacting with the text in this way, you are doing passively.

G.Active learners study with the purpose of grasping and memorizing information.

There is probably no field of human activity in which our values and lifestyles are shown more clearly and strongly than they are in the clothes that we choose to wear．The dress of an individual is a kind of “sign language” that communicates a set of information and is usually the basis on which immediate impressions are formed．Traditionally, a concern for clothes was considered to be an affair of females，while men took pride in the fact that they were completely lacking clothes consciousness．

This type of American culture is gradually changing as man’s dress takes on greater variety  and color．Even as early as 1955，a research in Michigan said that men considered that the value of clothing in daily life was very important．White—collar workers in particular viewed dress as a symbol of ability，which could be used to impress or influence others，especially in the work situation．The white-collar worker was described as extremely concerned about the impression his clothing made on his boss．Although blue-collar workers were less aware that they might be judged on the basis of their clothing，they recognized that any difference from the accepted pattern of  dress would be made fun of by fellow workers．

Since that time，of course，the patterns have changed，the typical white-collar worker may now be wearing the blue shirt，while the blue-collar may be wearing a white shirt，but the importance of dress has not become less. Other researchers in recent years have helped to prove its importance in the lives of individuals at various age levels and in different social and economic status groups.

1.The passage tells us that ________.

A．our values and lifestyles are in no field of human activity

B．the clothes that we choose to wear have something to do with our values and lifestyles

C．our values and lifestyles are from the sign language

D．the clothes we choose to wear depend on a set of information and immediate impression

2.Traditionally，people usually thought that ________.

A．men cared very much for clothes

B．neither men nor women showed interest in clothes

C．both men and women paid great attention to their clothes

D．women concerned greatly about what they wore while men didn’t

3.White-collar workers pay great attention to their clothes because ________．

A．they extremely concern about the impression their clothes make on their bosses

B．they know that people might judge them on the basis of their clothes

C．they want to impress and influence others

D．they don’t want to be laughed at

4.What does the underlined word“status”in the last paragraph mean？

A．雕塑        B.身份        C.状况         D.资格
