听力原文: Students want to find the best way to put information into their long-term memories. They want to keep the information later when they take a test. What is the best way to learn inform0tion so they can remember it when they want to?
When studying, you should read the whole lesson first. This gives you the whole picture in which to put the ideas. New information that fits into the whole picture is easier to remember than separate facts. Yon also learn fester if you look at headings, introductions, important words, summaries, conclusions, and anything else that helps to organize the material, which is easier to understand.
Than the second step is to study the parts. Think about how they fit into the whole picture.
If you have a lot to study, don't try to do the whole job at once. Learning should be spread out and spaced. This gives the information time to "sink in." You should study grammar three times, a half hour each time. That is better than studying for an hour and a half at one time. Even shorter study periods are better for vocabulary lists and other difficult material. To learn the most in a two-hour study session, study different kinds of material; a half hour on grammar, 15 minutes on vocabulary, 20 minutes on writing, and so on. The change will help to keep you interested.
You forget most quickly right after you read or hear something new. You should review right away so you won't forget, and if possible, explain it to someone else. When you review and test yourself on the material, you are being active; active learning is better than just reading or listening.

A.Overall 10 publications with clinical trials could be identified Their clinical outcome was compared with that laboratory bond strength studies.

C.As simple and clinically reliable bonding methods to oxide ceramics exist, the rationale for development of alternative bonding methods might be reconsidered especially when these methods are more time consuming or require rather complicated and/or technique sensitive procedures.
D.Conducting a PubMed database search in May 2014 for articles dealing with the resin bond to dental zirconia ceramic reveals an astonishing increase of research being published in the last two decades years.

None of it ever happens, of course, or very little; but the fantasies give you the idea that there is something to grow up for. Indeed one of the saddest things about golden youth is the feeling that from eighteen on, it is all downhill; a determination to be better adults than the present job-takers is fine, but to refuse to grow up at all is just plain unrealism.
Right, so then you get some of what you want, or something like it, or something that will do all right, and for years you are too busy to do more than live in the present and put one foot in front of the other; your goals stretching little beyond the day when the boss has a stroke or the moment when the children can bring you tea in bed and the later moment when they actually bring you hot tea, not mostly slopped in the saucer. However, I have now discovered an even sweeter category of ambition. When my children are grown up...
When my children are grown up, I'll learn to fly a plane. I will career round the sky, knowing that if I do "go pop" there will be at least no little ones to suffer shock and grief; that even if the worst does come, I'll at least escape a long stay in hospital and all that looking for your glasses in order to see where you've left your teeth. When the children are grown up I'll actually be able to do a day's work in a day, instead of spreading over three, and go away for a weekend without planning as if for a trip to the moon. When I'm grown up--when they're grown up--I'll be free.
Of course. I know it is not to get worse before it gets better. Twelve-year-old, I'm told, don't go to bed at seven, so you don't ever get your evenings; once they're past ten you have to start worrying about their friends instead of simply shooting the intruders off the doorstep. Of course, you've got even more to worry about.
What interests the writer about the young is that they ______.
A.have so many unselfish ambitions
B.have such long-term ambitions
C.don't all want to be spacemen
D.all long for adult pleasures

听力原文: There are two kinds of memory: short-term and longterm. Information in long-term memory can be recalled at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days and weeks. In contrast, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.
Henning studied how students who are learning English as second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, advanced, and native-speaking students. To begin with, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sounded alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wether are four words sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.
Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning's results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and the advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.

Last year, researchers published new findings from the Women"s Health Initiative, a long-term study of more than 160000midlife women. The data showed that multivitamin-takers are no(26)than those who don"t take the pills, at least when it comes to the big diseases——cancer, heart disease, and(27) "Even women with poor diets weren"t helped by taking amultivitamin," says the study author Marian Neuhouser, PhD, in the cancer(28)program at the Fred Hutchinson CancerResearch Center, in Seattle. Vitamin(29)came into fashion in the early 1900s, when it was difficult or impossible for most people to get a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Back then, vitamin-deficiency diseases weren"t unheard-of: the bowed legs and(30)ribs caused by a severe shortage of vitamin D, or the skin problems and mental confusion caused by a lack of vitamin B, But these days, you"re(31)unlikely to be seriously deficient if you eat an average diet, if only because many packaged foods are vitamin-enriched. Sure, most of us could do with a couple more daily(32)of produce, but a multivitamin doesn"t do a good job at(33)those. "Multivitamins have maybe two dozen(34)but plans,s have hundreds of other useful compounds,"Neuhouser says. "If you just take a multivitamin, you"re missing lots of compounds that may be providing benefits. " There is onegroup that probably ought to keep taking a multivitamin: women of reproductive age. The supplement is insurance(35)pregnancy.
