To learn anything faster, just remember FAST!

The F in FAST stands for Forget.

If you want to speed up your brain, forget three things.

Forget what you already know about the subject. Your mind only works when it's open.

Forget about anything that's not urgent (紧急的) and important. If your brain is thinking about four different things, you're not fully present—so you won't learn quickly.

Forget your weakness in learning. Express your thoughts as if your memory isn't good, or you're a slow reader. Your memory isn't fixed (固定的), and it is possible to remember more.

The A in FAST stands for  ▲ .

In school, you learn by being active and creating information. Learning is not just watching and listening. You need to think hard, ask questions and take notes. The more active you are, the more you will learn.

The S in FAST stands for State.

Your state is the condition of your mind and body in that exact moment. All learning depends on your state. Many people don't remember well at school because they are in a state of being bored. So choose to learn with joy, interest, and curiosity (好奇心).

The T in FAST stands for Teach.

If you want to learn better, try teaching it to somebody else.

If you have to give a talk on what you're learning today, you would learn it differently. You would pay closer attention, take more careful notes and ask better questions. When you teach something, you get to learn it twice. If you can't do anything, you can't teach it, and then you can't do it.

阅读下列材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

If someone said they'd pay you $1,800 to stay off social media(社交媒体) for 6 years, would you do it? Could you? An American mom challenged her son to do just that, and he succeeded.

Sivert Klefsaas is the youngest of Lomna Gold-strand Klefsaas'four children, and his three older sisters all used social media growing up. It was influencing their feelings, as well as their friendships. So, Lorna thought, "If I could, I'd be willing to do whatever to keep Sivert off social media as long as I could, whatever that looks like." And that's where the idea for this challenge came from. 

It all started when Lora heard about a similar "16 for 16 challenge" on the radio, where a mother called Amanda Green gave her daughter Teresa $1,600 when she turned 16 if she stayed off social media. So, Lorna decided to create her own "18 for 18 challenge". Not only did Sivert finally complete this challenge, but he would do it again, too.

"It wasn't too difficult to live without social media, and I didn't think about it much during the 6 years," Sivert said. "As time went on, it was more of a pride thing."

He had his friends keep him up to date on the latest information. Sivert added, "I got to avoid all the unnecessary things that were on there. It also meant I had more time to focus on my grades and sports instead."

Now that he's done with the challenge, Sivert joined Instagram(照片墙), but has no plans to let social media define (定义) him. 

"Social media is great. We certainly need to use it," Sivert said. "But also make sure you spend time in other areas of your life, especially those personal relationships."

Still, Lorna is proud of her son's success. "We are certainly not against social media, but it's the healthy using of it," Lorna told CNN.

The Nile River is the longest river in the world. It's known for being the lifeblood of Ancient Egypt and is still very important to Egypt today. This river is famous because it was a useful body of water in Ancient Egypt. Also, the Nile River is important for farming, transportation and drinking water.

You may not have ever heard of the Finke River in Australia. It's not very long and it doesn't even flow all the time. However, geologists (地质学家) have considered it as the oldest river in the world. That's the reason why this river is well-known!

 根据语篇内容, 判断正误。

Once or twice, there was crying and sighing (叹息) from a little leaf, as leaves often do when the wind is blowing. The tree said, "What's the matter, little leaf ?"

"The wind, " said the leaf, "just told me that one day it would pull me off and throw me on the ground. "

" Don't be afraid, " the tree said. "Hold on , and you shall not go off until you are ready. "

So the leaf stopped sighing and went on singing. It grew all summer long until October. When the bright days of autumn came, the leaf saw all the leaves around growing very beautiful. Some were yellow, some were brown, and many were colorful. Then the leaf asked the tree what this meant (意味着).

The tree said, " All these leaves are getting ready to fly away, and they have put on these colors because of their joy (快乐). "

The little leaf started to want to go and grew colorful thinking of it. Then it saw that the branches (树枝) of the tree had no bright colors on them and asked why.

"We must keep on our working clothes because we don't finish our work, " said the tree, "but your clothes are for holidays because your work is now over. "

Just then, the wind came, and the leaf let go (放手) without thinking. The wind took it up and turned it over and over. Then it fell slowly down on the ground, among hundreds of leaves.
