It is very common that many students complain they lack concentration. For example ,“I can’t concentrate.” “My mind wanders when I try to study.”

We all have the ability to concentrate. Think of the times when you were attracted to a super novel or the times when you were playing your guitar or piano. But at other times your mind races from one thing to another. Here are some tips.

Rest from time to time. Remember to take short breaks. Lectures are usually 50 minutes long, and that’s about the length of time most people can direct their attention to one task. But that’s just an average. Your concentration time might be shorter (20-35 minutes) or longer (perhaps 90 minutes). When you take a break, you get more oxygen to your brain! When we sit for long periods, blood tends to be pooled in our lower body and legs. Get up and walk around the room for a couple of minutes. As a result, more oxygen is carried to the brain and you can concentrate better.

If you study one subject for a long time, you may find it hard to concentrate. Many students improve their concentration by changing one subject to another every one to two hours. In this way you can pay more attention to something that’s different.

Reward yourself. Give yourself a reward when you’ve completed a task. The task might be small, such as staying with a difficult paper until you’ve finished. But giving yourself a reward can help you be more interested in doing other tasks.

Increase your activity level. Your concentration wanders more easily if you just read an article straight through. Instead, take the heading for each part and turn it into a question. For this part, that would be, “How can I increase my activity level while studying?” Then study that part to answer that question. Do this routinely. The questions give us a focus for each part and increase our involvement (参与).

1.According to Paragraph 3, what’s the purpose of walking around?

A.To help us stay fit.

B.To provide the brain with more oxygen

C.To benefit our lower body.

D.To increase our concentration time to 90 minutes.

2.What’s the best title for Paragraph 4?

A.Study for one hour each time.

B.Do something difficult.

D.Study in different ways.

3.In the last paragraph, the writer suggests that______.

A.we just read the heading of some articles

B.we do our best to read an article straight through

C.we ask other people questions about the article we are reading

D.we ask ourselves questions about what we are reading

4.The writer wrote the passage to______.

A.encourage us to try to concentrate

B.give us the reasons for a lack of concentration

C.teach us how to concentrate while studying

Why is it that many people who have suffered a major shock, such as divorce or death of a family member, seem to be weaker against a variety of major and minor illness? One common idea among psychologists has been that people could deal with suffering more effectively if they were able to understand and accept it. Indeed, many experts stress the value of expressing thoughts and feelings connected with upsetting events.

Recently, a team of medical researchers studied the links between describing psychologically painful events and long-term health. In one experiment healthy college students were asked to write about either personally disturbing experiences or ordinary topics over a period of four days. In the months afterwards, students who had chosen to show their inner thoughts and feelings in their writing visited the health center for illness much less often than those who had written about everyday topics.

In an experiment that followed, another group of healthy students were given the four-day writing exercises. Some chose to write about highly personal and upsetting experiences (including loneliness, problems with family and friends, and health). When questioned immediately afterwards, they said that they did not feel any better. However, their blood samples(样本) taken before and after the experiment showed evidence of an improved resistance to illness. The white cells that fight off bacteria and viruses had increased their reaction and sensitivity to these “invaders”. This trend continued over the following six weeks, when another blood sample was taken. Individuals who showed the best results were those who wrote about topics that they had actively kept from telling others about.

The researchers suggested that failure to face up to painful experience can be a form of stress itself, and can increase the possibility of illness. It follows, then, that actively dealing with a major shock makes possible its understanding and acceptance. The answer is not to suffer in silence. It may not always be possible to talk about personal problems, but writing them down will help the body to fight disease in the long run.

1.In the first experiment, the students who wrote about painful events ________.

A.started to suffer psychological problems

B.enjoyed sharing their inner thought and feelings

C.were less likely to seek treatment for sickness

D.couldn’t deal with suffering effectively

2.People who wrote about personal problems in the second experiment ________.

A.had more bacteria and viruses in their blood

B.had decreased feelings of loneliness

C.showed an improved white cell reaction

D.did better in their writing tasks

3.What does the underlined word "invaders" refer to?

A.The white cells.

B.Bacteria and viruses.

C.Resistance to illness.

D.The reaction and sensitivity of the cells.

4.What is the best title of the passage?

A.Suffering and Health

B.Inner Thoughts and Feelings

C.Illness and Health

D.Mental Illness and Social Acceptance
