For Better Grades—▲!
Like most students, you probably started this term with a resolution to study harder. Now, science can help you keep your resolution. Recent discoveries point to better ways to learn.
How does the brain save new information? Think of the last time you looked up a number in the telephone book and dialed it. Could you remember that number five minutes later? Probably not! That's because it's in your short-term memory.
Our memory actually has three parts. Sensory memory(感官记忆) takes in information from our five senses, but these memories last for a few seconds. The short-term memory works like a “holding area” for new information—that is where you keep the phone number while you dial it. But if you can put the phone number into your long-term memory, you'll remember that same phone number next week.
When you study, you transfer new information into the long-term memory. Every time we learn something new, the structure(结构) of the brain actually changes, because we build new connections to the old information.
Brain researchers have discovered four key points for better study.
①Make an effort. The brain remembers better when we are interested in the subject, already know a little about it, and know we will need the information in the future.
②Find the most important information and organize it. Your brain can process only a little information at one time, so don't try to remember every detail. When studying a textbook, look for titles, headings, and pictures to show you the main ideas.
③Make the new brain connections stronger. One skill is to recite(背诵) the ideas out loud in your own words. This is the most powerful way to transfer information from short-term to long-term memory. Another method is drawing a picture of the information.
④Give the new material enough time to soak in—your brain has to build new physical connections. For this reason, it's better to study for several short periods than one long one. And staying up late before a big test doesn't help.

答案： 1. A 【解析】文章出处题。根据文章第一段中“Now，science can help you keep your resolution. Recent discoveries point to better ways to learn.”以及下文专业性的描述可知，本文应该来源于科学报纸。
2. D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中“Every time we learn something new，the structure of the brain actually changes，because we build new connections to the old information.”可知，我们在学习新的知识的时候，我们的大脑结构实际上是会发生变化的。
3. C 【解析】词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“...your brain has to build new physical connections. For this reason，it's better to study for several short periods than one long one.”可知，大脑需要建立新的关联，新知识需要几次短时期的慢慢吸收才能消化。
4. B 【解析】标题概括题。根据文章内容可知，全文都是讲述如何用好大脑取得更好的成绩。
