Have you grasped the information taught by your teacher in class?
20
Have you understood what you saw on the screen? Maybe everyone has their 21
own learning style.
22
Generally speaking, we gather information with our minds and bodies 23
in different ways, such as seeing, hearing and doing. Then our brains 24
deals with that information, organizing it and connecting it to things 25
we are already aware of. In other words, our brains will deal with the 26
information in different ways. Sometimes we think in pictures or words.
27
Sometimes we remember details or the big pictures.
28
For different people, their learning styles are different too. One 29
person may find it hard to mke out the information in written forms but 30
easy to know it immediately in an oral description. However, another 31
person might find difficulties with the picture but the written message.
32
Now scientists say there exist seven basic learning styles.
2
33
•Linguistic: These people learn through listening, reading, speaking 34
and writing.
35
•Logical: These p eople learn with formula (公式) and principles (原36
理).
37
•Visual: These people learn by seeing what they are studying.
38
•Musical: These people learn well when information is presented 39
through music.
40
•Kinesthetic: These people learn from movement and physical
41
activities.
42
•Intrapersonal: These people learn best by linking new information 43
directly with their own experiences.
44
•Interpersonal: These people learn well by working with others. 45
Therefore, if you know what learning style is your strength, you can 46
balance your weakness, and get a more successful learning experience.
47
25. From the passage, we know that our brains __________.
48
A. deal with the information in different ways
49
B. send out the information in the same way

C. organize information with our bodies

Zheng He had over 300 ships, some of which were over 150 meters long, 71

light was probably electricity from the thunderstorm (雷雨), but the 80

he led them.
