If your brain is taking in material quickly, youre clever; if not, well, that doesnt say great things about your IQ. But science shows context (上下文) and technique (技术) actually play a big role in how fast we learn, and even small changes like the way you use to read can make a big difference.Audio (音频的) books have plenty of advantages: you can enjoy them anywhere, even in the car, and not printing books saves trees. Poor readers also often find them more interesting. But according to the latest research, if your goal isnt to pass the time in traffic, but instead to learn something difficult, you should choose a physical book.In a recent opinion piece in the New York Times, psychology (心理学) professor Daniel T.Willingham mentioned a 2010 study where 48 students either read or listened to an article about child psychology. Although the students spent the same amount of time with their material and did about the same number of distracting (分散注意力) activities while they absorbed the information, they scored very differently on a 10-item quiz later. Generally, the readers scored 81 percent but while the listeners scored 59 percent. Why does listening vs reading material have such a great effect on learning?Willingham explains that first, most of us read more slowly than we listen (especially when pausing and rereading), and when youre trying to absorb new information, slower seems to be better. “About 10 to 15 percent of eye movements during reading are actually regressive meaning the eyes are going back and re-checking,” he explains to TIME. “This happens very quickly”Second, books offer visual cues (可视线索) that help our brains organize and understand new information. Things like chapter breaks, subheadings, and lists help us in making sense of the material and understanding how it fits together. You lose all that when you go the audio way.The bottom line is simple: Dont feel shame about passing your time in traffic with an audio book. However, be aware of audios limitations when it comes to studying, and seriously consider choosing good old-fashioned reading instead.31 . According to the writer, you should choose to read a book to _.Atake in the informationBpass the time in trafficClearn something difficultDorganize new information32 . A “physical book” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”.Aan audio bookBa book about physicsCa book about computerDa book made of paper or cloth33 . What can we learn from the passage?ATo read a book is better than to listen to it.BReaders are cleverer than listeners.CReading books is a good way to pass time.DHow fast we learn depends on how smart we are.Hello, everyone!

It influences health, intelligence and feelings.August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems in his month. In the northeast and the Middle West, It is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March.The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, the IQs of a group of students were very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQs were 10% lower. The wind can help people have higher intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August).Weather also has a strong influence on peoples feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold in these months. They might feel unhappy in cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18C, people become stronger.Low air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-air-pressure days.
