How to Create a Mind Map
Most of us think visually but we write textually. 1. It also makes the information we list more difficult to process, remember, and share.
2. It combines the brain’s visual nature with our tendency to write down words. We end up with a diagram that combines logic and order in a less structured manner. This promotes clearer thinking and better comprehension. 3.
So, how do you create a mind map? The most basic method is to just use a pen and paper, or a marker and whiteboard. It begins with a central topic or idea, then flows outward. 4. The next level of topics is represented by branches extending from it.
There aren’t really any rules for creating mind maps. While most flow outwardly from the central topic, some users prefer to build mind maps in one direction. 5. This can make groups of ideas easier to identify and remember. It also makes a mind map more enjoyable to create and use.
Mind maps are extremely effective for taking notes, planning a project, brainstorming an idea, presenting information to others, and many other uses. Take out your pen and have a try.
A. They help to clarify thinking.
B. This goes against how our minds actually work.
C. They help us save time by focusing on key issues.
D. A mind map is the perfect answer to this dilemma.
E. Think of it as a tree, where the central point is the trunk.
F. It’s also a lot more enjoyable than simply writing down lists.
G. Others like to add colors, pictures, or symbols in their mind maps.

In the sea there are many islands. In its warm waters there are some little ones. We call them “Coral Islands”.
A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring of land with tress, grass, and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake inside the island.
If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful coral. You may think they are flowers.
If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. In each of these holes a very small sea animal has lived . These sea animals make the coral.
They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher.
At last it grew out of the water.
Then the sea brought to it small trees and something else. After some years, these things changed into earth. Sometimes the wind brought seeds to this earth. Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island.
The little seeds grew. In a few years there were plants all over the island. In a few more years there were trees growing there.
So you see, these islands were built little by little. The workers were very small. Do they not teach us a lesson? Can you think what the lesson is?

The ninth week of SEAL training is referred to as Hell Week. It is on Wednesday of Hell Week that you paddle down to the mud flats (泥滩）and spend the next 15 hours trying to survive the freezing-cold mud, the howling wind and the increasing pressure from the instructors to quit. As the sun began to set that Wednesday evening, my training class, having broken the rules, was ordered into the mud. The mud consumed each man till there was nothing visible but our heads. The instructors told us we could leave the mud if only five men would quit—just five men and we could get out of the extreme cold.
Looking around the mud flat, it was apparent that some students were about to give up. It was still over eight hours till the sun came up--eight more hours of freezing cold. The chattering teeth and shivering moans (呻吟）of the trainees were so loud it was hard to hear anything. And then, one voice began to echo (回荡）through the night--one voice raised in song. The song was terribly out of tune, but sung with great enthusiasm. One voice became two, and two became three, and before long everyone in the class was singing. We knew that if one man could rise above the great suffering then others could as well. The instructors threatened us with more time in the mud if we kept up the singing—but the singing went on. And somehow, the mud seemed a little warmer, the wind a little less bitter and the dawn not so far away.
If I have learned anything in my time traveling the world it is the power of hope. The power of one person, Washington, Lincoln, King, Mandela and even a young girl from Pakistan, Malala, can change the world by giving people hope.
So, if you want to change the world, start singing when you're up to your neck in mud.
1.From the passage, we can see that being ordered into the mud was _____ .
A. the last part of the training
B. the most useful part of the training
C. the real test of the trainees' intelligence
D. the punishment for the training class
2.The training class' singing together ______ .
A. helped them to kill the time
B. encouraged them to fight their difficulty
C. inspired the instructors
D. kept them from falling into the mud
3.The writer described his SEAL training experience mainly to tell the readers _____ .
A. the power of a large crowd of people
B. the advantage of the training
C. the way to bring about changes
D. the reason to promote singing
4.In the last paragraph, the phrase "up to your neck in mud" most probably means ______ .
A. in an extremely difficult situation
B. in a hard training class
C. in terribly cold weather
D. in a lower social position

I took the Harvard Summer School program in my vacation. During my stay there, I spend a lot of time studying in the main library Widener. I enjoyed myself in the ocean of knowledges, either doing research for my papers or read special edition books. The library, which it is named after its donor Harry Widener, stands right next to the Emerson building of philosophy. Opening a pair of heavy yet elegant metal doors, I was immediate bathed in warm light. I wandered around the library, fascinating to find one treasure after other.
The library is a amazing place. One can fully experience the academic atmosphere only he visits the library. For me, the library as well as the courses explain Harvard’s place as the home of devoted scholars.
