Five Simple Ways to Increase Your Intelligence
Your brain needs exercise just like a muscle. If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and increase your ability to focus.
Here are 5 simple ways anyone can squeeze a bit more productivity out of the old gray matter.
【小题1】_________-This is a hard sell. People love vegetating in front of the television, myself included more often than I’d like. The problem is watching television doesn’t use your mental capacity OR allow it to recharge. It’s like having the energy sapped out of a muscle without the health benefits of exercise.
When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead. If you’re too tired, listen to some music. When you’re with your friends or family, leave the tube off and have a conversation. All of these things use your mind more than television and allow you to relax.
Exercise- I used to think that I'd learn more by not exercising and using the time to read a book instead. But I realized that time spent exercising always leads to greater learning because it improves productivity during the time afterwards. Using your body clears your head and creates a wave of energy. Afterwards, you feel invigorated(精力充沛)and can concentrate more easily.
【小题2】_________-Many people like to read popular suspense fiction, but generally these books aren't mentally stimulating. If you want to improve your thinking and writing ability you should read books that make you focus. Reading a classic novel can change your view of the world and will make you think in more precise, elegant English. Don’t be afraid to look up a word if you don’t know it, and don’t be afraid of dense passages. Take your time, re-read when necessary, and you’ll soon grow accustomed to the author’s style.
【小题3】_________-Nothing makes it harder to concentrate than sleep deprivation. You'll be most rejuvenated if you go to bed early and don’t sleep more than 8 hours. If you stay up late and compensate by sleeping late, you’ll wake up lethargic(无精打采)and have trouble focusing. In my experience the early morning hours are the most tranquil and productive. Waking up early gives you more productive hours and maximizes your mental acuity(敏锐)all day.
If you have the opportunity, take 10-20 minute naps when you are hit with a wave of drowsiness. Anything longer will make you lethargic, but a short nap will refresh you.
【小题4】_________-Often our lives get so hectic that we become overwhelmed without even realizing it. It becomes difficult to concentrate because nagging thoughts keep interrupting. Spending some time alone in reflection gives you a chance to organize your thoughts and prioritize your responsibilities. Afterwards, you’ll have a better understanding of what's important and what isn’t. The unimportant stuff won’t bother you anymore and your mind will feel less encumbered.
Conclusion-I hope you aren’t disappointed that none of the techniques I've proposed are revolutionary. But simple, unexciting answers are often the most valid. The challenge is having the will to adhere to them. If you succeed in following these 5 tips, you’ll be rewarded with increased mental acuity and retention of knowledge.

How would you like to learn more without having to study more?Here’s how:
1.Get to bed and go to sleep.Your performance,attention,and the ability to concentrate are damaged by lack of sleep.Teenagers need nine to ten hours of sleep a night for best performance.
2.Feed your head.The brain runs badly if it doesn’t get enough fuel.That means protein(蛋白质)and complex carbs (复合碳水化合物)-eggs and wheat bread for breakfast,say,rather than sugary cereal(含糖的麦片粥)and orange juice.The biggest mistake teens make is not to have breakfast or to go for sugar,which raises blood sugar levels.
3.Body exercise is brain exercise.Body exercise really improves brain performance,perhaps because it increases blood flow,or perhaps because it reduces stress and anxiety(焦虑).Twenty minutes of activity a day that raises your heart rate will do great good.
4.Learn now what you want to remember for the rest of your life.Teenage brains are much better at remembering things than the brains of young children or adults.Scientists aren’t sure why.Whatever the reason,the teenage years are the time to learn new languages and master other lifelong skills.
5.Learn the power of risk taking.Adults are always worried about the downside of teenage risk?taking,and it’s true that teenagers are more likely than adults to get themselves in trouble by drinking and driving.But the fact that the parts of the brain that drive people to try new,risky,and exciting things appear to be more developed in teenagers can be a huge advantage.Pick certain challenges-difficult sports,a hard job,mastering a performance art,traveling overseas-and the teenage brain is able to deal with them.They have this power they’re given to go out and do it without fear.
6.Learn what you love.Because emotional(情感的)systems develop fast in teenager brains,teenagers learn things they’re interested in quickly and well.Their brains give them tools like attention on the project.

Jealous of the kids at school who are smarter than you and seem to learn more quickly? Don’t worry. 71
72 However, according to a recent study, IQ can rise—not just by one or two points, but by as many as 21 points!
Scientists have found that IQ changes are linked to changes in part of the brain called gray matter, which was seen to grow and become denser (更加密集) in the brains of people whose IQs improved greatly.
73 One is to train your short-term memory. Previous research has proven that short-term memory is the basis for intelligence, so trying to recognize or retell something that you have seen or heard can help raise your overall brain power. 74
A good night’s sleep will also help improve your concentration. 75 It helps you stay focused for longer the next day.
Scientists have also found that exercise helps. Walking 30 minutes a day five times a week and doing exercise will help you become more knowledgeable—as well as healthier and fitter.
A. There are several ways of increasing your brain’s gray matter.
B. Your brain deals more efficiently with things you truly like.
C. With a bit of brain training, the chances are that you can be as smart as they are.
D. So maybe it’s a good idea to get your brain in training right away.
E. Getting enough sleep is like pushing the reset button in your brain.
F. The more you work on it, the better you will become.
G. People used to assume that a person’s IQ was unchangeable.
