If your brain is taking in material quickly, youre clever; if not, well, that doesnt say great things about your IQ. But science shows context (上下文) and technique (技术) actually play a big role in how fast we learn, and even small changes like the way you use to read can make a big difference.Audio (音频的) books have plenty of advantages: you can enjoy them anywhere, even in the car, and not printing books saves trees. Poor readers also often find them more interesting. But according to the latest research, if your goal isnt to pass the time in traffic, but instead to learn something difficult, you should choose a physical book.In a recent opinion piece in the New York Times, psychology (心理学) professor Daniel T.Willingham mentioned a 2010 study where 48 students either read or listened to an article about child psychology. Although the students spent the same amount of time with their material and did about the same number of distracting (分散注意力) activities while they absorbed the information, they scored very differently on a 10-item quiz later. Generally, the readers scored 81 percent but while the listeners scored 59 percent. Why does listening vs reading material have such a great effect on learning?Willingham explains that first, most of us read more slowly than we listen (especially when pausing and rereading), and when youre trying to absorb new information, slower seems to be better. “About 10 to 15 percent of eye movements during reading are actually regressive meaning the eyes are going back and re-checking,” he explains to TIME. “This happens very quickly”Second, books offer visual cues (可视线索) that help our brains organize and understand new information. Things like chapter breaks, subheadings, and lists help us in making sense of the material and understanding how it fits together. You lose all that when you go the audio way.The bottom line is simple: Dont feel shame about passing your time in traffic with an audio book. However, be aware of audios limitations when it comes to studying, and seriously consider choosing good old-fashioned reading instead.16 . According to the writer, you should choose to read a book to _.Atake in the informationBpass the time in trafficClearn something difficultDorganize new information17 . A “physical book” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”.Aan audio bookBa book about physicsCa book about computerDa book made of paper or cloth18 . What can we learn from the passage?ATo read a book is better than to listen to it.BReaders are cleverer than listeners.CReading books is a good way to pass time.DHow fast we learn depends on how smart we are.One Sunday afternoon, Marion is sitting at his desk and looking at his bills when his young son rushes in and says happily, “Happy birthday, Daddy. Youre 40 years old today, and Im going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!” When the boy starts making good on his word, the father shouts, “Michael, dont do it now, Im too busy! Go to do your homework now.”The boy soon feels silent as tears falls from his big blue eyes slowly. Feeling sorry, the father says, “You can finish later. Daddy is busy with business now.” He hugs the boy hurriedly as well. The boy says nothing but quietly walks away. That evening the father says: “Michael, Come and finish your work now!” But the boy doesnt.Unfortunately, a few days later after the fathers birthday, the boy has a terrible accident and passes away. His sad father writes, “If only I could tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words, and how much my heart is hurting.” However, its too late.Do remember: Love is a two-way street. We must warmly accept any loving act, or others will take it as a “NO” and it can leave a scar. If we dont receive love, our life will lose its true meaning. Nothing is more important than accepting love from those who are near and dear to us.19 .
