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?

八年级英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析
Being busy can become a way of life. Our lives are always filled with emails and text messages. They make us feel wanted and important, but in a tiring and empty way. Being busy has a dangerous allure（诱惑）. If you are busy all the time, it’s hard to sit quietly with your thoughts or to really feel what you’re feeling. Why not let everything become a choice — how we spend time, who we reply to and how much or little we write?
Many of us are busy because our self-worth goes up when people make demands（需求）on our time. Why don’t we free ourselves from needing, or even wanting? Why don’t we make the best use of the time and space to be productive in a way that it best serves us? That may be consciously（主动地）keeping ourselves not busy. In fact many great discoveries were made by people who built white space into their day.
Imagine asking “How are you?” to one of the most successful people you know like Warren Buffet. I’ve never heard anyone at that level answer “busy” though most people believe they are.
What are they doing differently?
First, they aim to project an image that things are under control. Second, they actually have things under control. They’ve had excellent staff, implemented（实施）thoughtful processes and they spend time only on critical tasks that require their attention. They make high-level strategic decisions with a large effect.
It’s time to end the glory of being busy and spend time setting up processes that make sense, rather than simply working more hours. To do this, you need to change your way of thinking. It’s cool to say you’re busy, but it’s better to be busy helping someone carry a stroller up the subway stairs or busy finishing a book．
How to free us from the trend of being busy? Start with small steps. For one day, be mindful of every daily activity. Consider each thing a choice and decide proactively（预先）if it’s necessary or simply a habit you can get rid of or do in half the time. Next, stop saying how busy you are. Then, figure out what you want to achieve with your day and begin doing it. Put your time and energy where you want it to be．
1.What are many of us busy doing every day?
A.Sitting quietly and think actively．
B.Meeting people’s demands on our time．
C.Making great discoveries．
D.Takinghigh-level decisions．
2.Why don’t successful people like Warren Buffet answer “busy”?
A.Because they value working abilities and attitude．
B.Because they focus on attracting excellent workers．
C.Because they pay more attention to learning management．
D.Because they think well and spend more time on critical tasks．
3.The writer probably agrees that we should ______．
A.stop considering each thing a choice
B.work more hours to achieve our goals
C.answer emails and messages as soon as possible
D.be mindful where we want our time and energy to be
4.What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To advise us to be freed from the trend of being busy．
B.To warn us about the danger of leading a busy life．
C.To show us ways to feel good about being busy．
D.To tell us how to fit into the busy modern life．
