浙江省嘉兴、舟山市2019年中考英语试卷
Mark Zuckerberg, who starts the social network Facebook, often wears jeans and a T-shirt to work, including to important business meetings. Not everyone agrees with him. Some people say he doesn't look serious this way.
Harvard Business School researcher, Francesca Gino, has a different idea. While most people seem to think that dressing differently from those around you generally has a bad influence, she believes it can actually have a positive (积极的) effect. And she's done experiments to support her idea. When her researchers, wearing sportswear, visited the expensive shops in Italy, they were usually viewed as wealthier and more important people than those who were well-dressed in designer clothes.
Do people always view less formal (正式的) clothing more positively? Researchers in France took their research out into the street, to the general public. The video they made shows an actor dressed in a well-cut suit and shiny shoes. While walking along the road, he begins to cough badly, stops to catch his breath and falls down. Before he even calls for help, people rush to help him. In another video, the actor appears at the same crowded place and repeats the actions in exactly the same way. But this time, no one comes to help. What's the difference? He's wearing untidy clothes and looks like a homeless person. In a situation like this, the clothes you're wearing could mean the difference between life and death.
It seems that our clothing doesn't only change the way others view us, but also the way we see ourselves. In an experiment testing students' ability to pay attention to details (细节), the group wearing white lab coats did the best. Why? Researchers told them that they were wearing the doctors' coats. The experiment didn't show whether such influences would last long. More experiments are needed in the future before we decide to make the doctors' coats a must of fashion.

When you study, the first thing to consider is whether you understand the information, and the second is how you will remember it. Some of you probably think you know all about that, right? After all, you have been studying for years. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}The advice is for all of you.
First of all, have a plan. You can make a plan for a week or for a longer time. If you' re studying for an important exam, you should make a long-term plan. And you need to check if it works from time to time. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Next, think about your environment. Make sure the place for studying is comfortable with enough light and fresh air, not too hot or too cold. If you think you do it better with music, you can put some music on and see if it's true. Some people work better with music playing. But for many people, it can make it harder to concentrate (集中注意力).
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}You can plan your study time in periods ( 时 间 段 ) with breaks in between. Some Experts recommend ( 推 荐 ) you to take a10-minute break after 30 minutes of studying. If you study for too long without a break, your mind won't work as well as before. During your short break, you can treat yourself to something like green tea, but I wouldn't suggest chocolate because sugar can make it harder to concentrate.
Finally, think about what you do when you' re studying. Some people just read through their books and mark important parts with a pencil. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} However, I suggest writing notes while studying because it helps your mind process(处理) the information better!
A. If that works for you, then great! B. Then, take breaks while studying. C. If it doesn't, adjust your plan in time. D. But there's always room for improvement. E. Third, look through your notes before exams. |
What other advice can you come up with to remember information better when studying? (15 词以内) {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
