Why People Who Take Notes All the Time Are More Likely to Be SuccessfulNote-taking is an essential skill in many areas of work and study. But is note-taking really useful in helping us to understand, remember, and retrieve (重新获得）essential points when we most need them? 16 Here are four reasons note-takers are on the fast track to success:17 The action of writing information down is a great way to get fully involved in the learning process. Note-takers are much more actively involved because they are processing the information and getting the essential facts down.They understand the importance of remembering the information. Students need to remember all relevant information when faced with an exam question. A speaker may not have their notes at hand but will still have a better chance of actually remembering the facts if they have spared the time to prepare notes. 18 Howe in 1970 found that students who had taken notes were seven times more likely to remember facts a week later than those who had not.They do not rely on getting others’ notes. Lots of students love asking the lecturers for a copy of their notes and with PowerPoint and other software, this can be easily done. 19 These students are not going to be very successful in school if they do this all the time.They know that taking notes helps them achieve their goals. 20 There are quite a few studies now showing that the actual process of taking notes helps people to boost (推进）their learning and also achieve their goals. Researchers at the Dominican University of California have discovered that writing down goals and sharing them are crucial (至关重要的）in helping people to achieve their aims.A. Research backs this up.B. They are actively learning.C. This is no accident or coincidence.D. They know how to prepare for note-taking.E. But the results for the students are not very good.F. Naturally, it does depend a lot on the subject matter.G. The answer is yes, although individual styles and methods may vary.16.______ 17.______ 18.______ 19._______ 20._______II.阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
