【篇章大意】

現(xiàn)代社會，人們?yōu)榱烁玫剡m應(yīng)不斷變化的生活環(huán)境，真正做到與時俱進(jìn)，應(yīng)該不斷地學(xué)習(xí)。而要想達(dá)到高效的學(xué)習(xí)效果，除了方法與毅力之外，還要注意安排好日常的飲食起居，并養(yǎng)成科學(xué)用腦的良好習(xí)慣。

【疑難點睛】

Go to bed early,...so that you can study more on a clear brain.早點上床睡覺，……這樣你就可以在頭腦清醒的時候多學(xué)一些。

這是一個復(fù)合句，主句為幾個并列的祈使句。so that是連詞，意為“以便”，引導(dǎo)的是目的狀語從句；with a clear brain是介詞短語，意為“頭腦清醒的狀態(tài)”。

【理解檢測】

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷下列句子的正（T）誤（F）。

1.You should have plenty of sleep for getting enough information.

2.You mustn't eat snacks while you are studying.

3.You will be upset if you are thirsty.

4.Healthy people can go on studying for a long time.

5.You must work to retrain your brain for good habits.

【答案解析】

1.T 根據(jù)句子“You'll want to be sure to get plenty of sleep if you want your brain to get enough information.”可知，只有睡眠足夠，大腦才有可能獲取一定的信息。

2.F 根據(jù)句子“You might even want to choose some healthy snacks while you are studying.”可知，在學(xué)習(xí)過程中是可以適當(dāng)吃些健康的零食的。

3.T 根據(jù)句子“You can easily become upset by your thirst.”可知，人在口渴時容易心煩意亂，注意力自然難以集中。

4.F 根據(jù)句子“For people who are very physical and active,...to stay focused.”可知，即使健康的人久坐也是不利于學(xué)習(xí)的。因此，本句話是錯誤的。

5.T 根據(jù)句子“You might need to work to retrain your brain for good habits.”可知，人在學(xué)習(xí)過程中必須要不斷訓(xùn)練大腦，促使它想要做更多的事情。
