AA new study shows students whowrite notes by hand during lecturesperform better on exams than those whouse laptops.Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed andlegibility. But the research has found laptopusers are less able to remember and applythe concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptopincreased the tendency to makenotes ”mindlessly” by taking down word forword what the professors said.In the first experiment, students weregiven either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were examined on their ability and to remember facts and on how well they understood concept.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those wrote by hand. However, the type is performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it comes to memorizing facts.The researchers’ report said, “ While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest thathandwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.21.

Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through theirco-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.Nitrogen and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi networks, making sure that all tress in the forestecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young tress so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” of the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“ We didn’t take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly. “ Dying tree s move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestryindustry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.29. The underlined sentence “ the opposite is true” in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees___.A compete for survivalB protect their own wealthC depend on each otherD provide support for dying tress30. “Mother trees” are extremely important because they ___.A look the largest in size in the forestB pass on nutrition to young treesC seem more likely to be cut down by humansD know more about the complex “tree societies”31. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ___.A how “tree societies ” workB how trees grow oldC how forestry industry developsD how young trees survive32. What would be the best title for the passage?A Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC Trees Are More Awesome That You ThinkD Trees Contribute To Our SocietyDTravis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees and profits of over $2 million per year. He’s never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. “Your working uniform is your shelter,” he told her,“ Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be.”Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an educationprogram that began on his first day and continue throughout an employee’s occupation. The training has Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live. how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions. Most importantly, it taught him willpower.At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person’s success.And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. “sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren’t working hard—but that’s because they’ve made it automatic. ” Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said, “ Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it.”The company spent millions of dollarsdeveloping programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willp ower a habit in workers’ lives. Those courses are, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more $ 10 billion year.33.

Willpower will become a habit when employees can___.A focus on the profitsB benefit from the jobC protect themselves wellD control their feelings well35.
