Recently a new study has been carried out. It shows students who write notes by hand during
lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops.
Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility (清
晰度). But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.
Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased
the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.
In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened
to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.
The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand.
However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came 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 that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate
learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future. 48. More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can . A. get higher scores C. write more notes

To err is human. To blame the other guy is even more human.
mon sense is not all that mon.
Why tell the truth when you can e up with a good excuse?
These three popular misquotes (戏谑的引语) are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature. To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don’t want to accept the responsibility for having made a mistake. They naturally look for someone else who could be responsible for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human nature went like this: “To err is human, to forgive, divine (神圣的).” This saying mirrors an ideal: people should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite —— find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity. mon sense is what we call clear thought. Having mon sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. mon sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine. mon sense does not seem to be mon for large organizations, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large pany, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.” And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the mon problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary (直接推论) to that: if a good excuse is “good” even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth?
52. According to the passage, which of the following seems the most human?
A. To search for truth.
B. To criticize others for one’s own error. C. To make fun of others’ mistakes. D. To achieve one’s ideal.
53. Which of the following is NOT based on mon sense?
A. A lawyer acts on fine judgments.
B. A student goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather. C. A pany’s next move follows a good plan.
D. A man tries to take charge of everything in a large pany.
54. What is the author’s opinion about a good excuse?
A. Making a good excuse is sometimes a better policy. B. Bitter truth is better than a good excuse. C. A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty. D. Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.
55. What would be the best title for his passage?

well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided. 56 ◆Try physical activity
57 Running, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the
activities you might try. ◆Make time for yourself
Schedule time for both work and entertainment. Don’t forget, play can be just as important
to your overall well-being as work. 58 Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy. ◆Take care of yourself
59 If you get angry easily and can’t sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor. ◆ 60
Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do, and not
enough time”. Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and, as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one
thing at a time, checking off each task as it is pleted. Set out to do the most important task first.
A. You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. B. Make a list of things to do.
C. The following are suggestions for ways to deal with stress. D. You could smile to yourself in front of a mirror every day.
E. When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through
exercise or physical activity.
