As we all know, it is very difficult to remember all the contents of a long passage. For that reason, it is wise to make notes of information that is necessary for the students when they read a passage. The result is a short of the passage, and it contains all aspects of the passage.1.I ask the students to follow these steps.

●Familiarize with (通晓) the material. After students have read the passage or a section of it, they can start summarizing.2.

●Select important information. I ask the students to go through each paragraph, sentence by sentence, asking themselves which information is necessary to the argument. They should point out complete sentences as much as possible.3.Pay attention to these important points: author, title, reason why the passage was written, purpose, theme, key words, link words, all major aspects, explanations and author’s opinion.

●Paraphrase (释义) the information. I ask the students to point out the information of the previous step in their own words.4.They should try to shorten long and complex sentences into much shorter ones.

●5.Let students make sure that the connection between sentences is clear and reasonable and that each group of sentences smoothly fit in one paragraph.

A.Adjust the length of the summary.

B.Insert links (连接词) between sentences and paragraphs.

C.A choice is to underline important sentences or phrases.

D.In this way students can grasp the main ideas of the passage.

E.But we know reading is a practice of long period and we must have a lot of practice.

F.The length of the section read through depends on the structure and the complexity (复杂) of the passage.

G.And writing down information in their own words forces them to completely understand what they are writing down.

Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata (奏鸣曲) by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.

Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.

Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised. "I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me—I hear the notes and can bear them in mind—each and every note," says Samuel.

Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it. Samuel says confidently, "It's all about super memory—I guess I have that gift."

However, Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.

Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.

1.What is special about Samuel Osmond?

A.He has a gift for writing music.

3.Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he ________.

Dear Sir,

I am writing in reply to your article about homelessness in Ledchester as it raises questions about whether or how we should give money to charity.

There are now so many chances to give to charity in the UK these days that it can be difficult to know what is best to do. As your article said, if you go shopping in Ledchester city centre, there will be many chances to give money to charity, or to homeless people who look poor, tired and cold, but the solution is not as easy as you seem to think. Can I be sure that the person won’t spend the money on alcohol(酒) or drugs? You seem to have forgotten the research which showed that 9 out of 10 people begging on the street spend the money they are given on alcohol and drugs. Also, can I be sure that the person isn’t one of those “professional beggars” who simply pretend to be homeless and poor?

I think a more effective way to give money is to buy things in one of the many charity shops in Ledchester such as the Oxfam shop. This isn’t really charity as you are buying something, but you know the money is going to a good cause.

In recent years, as we all know, there have been a lot of big events organized to raise money for charity. Many will remember “Live Aid”. Lots of famous bands got together to hold a concert and make a record with all the money going to Ethiopia because of the food shortages there. The BBC also has a “Children in Need” day every year. In one sense you could say that these events are very successful as they raise a lot of money. However, I don’t believe that these events solve the real problems. In my view, these events just allow people to feel good about themselves for a day and then forget about charity and problems in the developing world for the rest of the year. My wife and I decided to support a child. We give a certain amount of money every month and this goes to pay for the education of a girl in Ethiopia. I would encourage your readers to support a child too. We don’t know if it is the best way to help, but at least it is something.

Yours faithfully,

Tom Blinson

1.From Paragraph 2, we know that __________.

A.big charity events can solve many problems

B.there are so many homeless people in the UK

C.beggars are pretending to be homeless and poor

D.money given to beggars may not be spent wisely

2.According to the writer, which can be a good choice to help?

A.To help organize charity events. B.To buy things in a charity shop.

C.To give money to homeless people. D.To cover the full cost of a poor kid.

3.According to the passage, what’s the writer’s attitude to money-raising charity events?

A.Positive. B.Objective.

C.Unconcerned. D.Negative.

4.The author wrote the letter mainly to _________.

A.present facts B.give advice

As we all know, sleep is very important and necessary. I would love everyone to develop the following four habits to have better sleep without needing the alarm（闹钟）wake-up call.

1.If you eat much food an hour before you go to bed, your body will hate you, because your body needs time to digest while you are still awake.

2.When I hear on TV that people just need 30-minute exercise a week, I think that’s wrong. Every person should get 30-minute exercise every day. When you exercise, your body uses energy and feels tired. You have to recover from the tiredness. 3. The harder you exercise your body, the faster it falls to sleep and the better it sleeps.

Turn the TV off. There are a few shows I still watch, but they will never get in my way of (妨碍) sleep. The bedroom is only for sleeping and rest. 4..

5.A question to ask yourself: If I didn’t have an alarm, what time would I get up? If that time is the time you need to get up, you should probably throw away the alarm. If the time you actually get up is much later than the time you need to get up, make great changes to your way of life and the time you go to sleep. No one should need an alarm.

A. Exercise for at least 30 minutes every day.

B. Don’t eat any food 4 hours before you sleep.

C. Throw away the alarm.

D. Sleep is one of the most important things in our lives.

We all use different ways to remember ideas, facts and things we need to store. Remembering is an extremely important part of our learning experience. Information process, storage and recall（回顾）encourage purposeful learning.

But the brain doesn’t store everything we want or need for future use. It makes choices and tends to remember information that forms a memorable pattern. Things you learned recently can be particularly difficult to remember because they haven’t taken root in your mind.

“Forgetting allows us to remember what is really important to our survival. We forget much of what we read, watch, and think directly every day.” writes John Medina in his book, Brain Rules.

How do you avoid losing 90%of what you’ve learned? An inspiring writer and speaker Zig Ziglar once said：“Repetition is the mother of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment.”

Repetition has been a remembering skill for ages. When you hear or read something once，you don’t really learn it-at least not well enough to store the new information for long. The right kind of repetition can do wonders for your memory. People learn or remember better by repeating things or getting exposed to information many times. Others repeat particular steps or processes deliberately a number of times or even years to become better at certain skills.

Daniel Coyle explains in his book, The Little Book of Talent：“...closing the book and writing a summary, even short ones, forces you to figure out the key points, process and organize those ideas so they make sense, and write them on the page. When you pick it back up weeks later, reread all of your notes or highlights to strengthen the ideas even further.”

People learn by repeating things. Better learning is a repetition process. Every time we repetitively access something we already know, we increase the memory’s stored value.

1.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A.The brain tends to store 90% of the things we learn.

B.The fresher the information is, the easier to remember.

C.Thinking is more important than remembering in study.

D.The brain tends to choose and keep what it thinks important.

2.How does the writer prove his opinion?

A.By giving examples. B.By listing numbers.

C.By borrowing words of experts. D.By providing scientific finding.

3.What does Daniel Coyle want to say in his book？

A.You can’t pay too much attention to repetition.

B.Summarizing is a very effective learning tool.

C.Forgetting forces human brain to make choices.

D.Regular repetition helps to form good habits.

4.What may be the purpose of the last paragraph？

A.To summarize and stress his opinion. B.To ask the readers to use the skills to learn.

C.To introduce his opinion and attract readers. D.To tell readers to increase the value of memory.

5.Which do you think is the best title of the passage？

A.How the Brain Works B.Reading for More

C.Fighting Against Forgetting D.Repeat to Remember
