Focus

One of the best ways to organize your study session is to use the Pomodoro Technique. 【1】 The idea is to use a timer. Let's say, you set the timer for 20 minutes, and focus only on your studies during that time. You cannot check email, or do anything aside from your task. When the timer goes off, you can reward yourself by listening to some music or having a drink of tea.

Test yourself

When you are studying, you should test yourself often. 【2】 You can also find all kinds of online tests for many subjects.

Interleaving

【3】 For example, in one study period you might spend time testing yourself on vocabulary words and then test yourself on grammar. Or, if studying math, you could mix multiplication(乘法) and division(除法）problems. It may be better for long-term learning.

Teaching

Teaching is also a powerful way to learn. 【4】 Some did not expect to have to teach information, while others did. When they actually teach a lesson, they develop a deeper understanding of the material.

Closing thoughts

You can create your own plan based on what you need to learn. You might organize your study periods with the Pomodoro technique. Then, you can test yourself and interleave different topics. There are many choices. 【5】

A.Researchers compared different groups of students.

B.In other words, they only study one topic at a time.

C.This method is a technique that means you mix different topics.

D.All of these techniques can be put together to make a powerful study plan.

E.It is a powerful, but simple method that helps people focus on a task.

F.When you focus and do tasks that are at the right difficulty level, your brain will become tired.

G.If you are using a textbook, then you can do practice questions from the end of each chapter.

Cathy Martin is a hurricane hunter with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). For six months each year, she is part of a team that collects 【1】 she describes as “vital data, to save life and property.”

When winds pick up, 【2】(spin) toward the Caribbean and U. S. coastline, Martin and 【3】(she) flight team spring into action.

They use instruments called dropsondes, which 【4】(set) free from a tube at the back of the plane. As a dropsonde makes its 10,000-foot landing into the sea, it sends out information about air temperature, pressure, humidity, and the speed and 【5】(direct) of the wind.

On an eight-hour flight, Martin’s team 【6】(typical) drops 15 to 20 dropsondes while flying from one side of the storm 【7】 the other, trying to cover as much ground as possible. They head for the center (or eye) of the storm, 【8】 there’s no wind, and also search for the strongest winds, to help people on the coast prepare for what’s coming. Sometimes, they will use an unmanned aircraft 【9】 (gather) data closer to the ocean's surface.

Though these flights can be long, 【10】(tire) and often last several days in a row, Martin likes her job and wishes she could fly every day.

John Snow was a well-known physician in London in the 19th century. So famous 【1】(be)he that he even attended Queen Victoria to ease the birth of her 【2】(baby).

In 1854 when cholera broke out，he began to gather information and marked on a map where all 【6】 dead people had lived. He found many people 【7】had drunk the dirty water from the pump died. So he decided that the 【8】(pollute) water carried cholera.

He found a woman and her daughter who had the water delivered from the pump every day died of cholera after 【9】( drink) the water. With this extra evidence John Snow announced that the polluted water was to blame. He suggested the source of all water supplies should【10】(examine) and new methods of dealing with water be found. Finally，“King Cholera” was defeated.

The whales had become desensitised to the noise of approaching boats and were being struck by them, often seriously. “We never thought that this could be something that could kill,” recalls (回忆) Andre, who is the director of the Laboratory of Applied Bioacoustics at the Technical University of Catalonia, Barcelona.

Andre has spent 20 years developing an advanced system to better understand why incidents like this happen. His underwater microphones have exposed a world of deafening sound and animal communication never observed with such clarity(清晰) before.

It was not an easy task. Sound waves don't travel through water in the uniform, predictable way they do through the air. Instead, the temperature, salinity (盐度) and, flow of water have great effects on their path.

What can be done? One solution is to change shipping routes to courses where ships are statistically less likely to meet animals. It’s also possible to slow ships down to 18km/h or less, which is less likely to seriously injure a whale.

As for dealing with the root cause of the problem, the UN’s International Maritime Organisation has already published guidelines on how to quieten ships, but it will be a while before the effects of such changes might be observed.

“The ocean is not our world,” comments Andre. But it is ours to look after. And thanks to his work, we can better understand the effects of subsea sound pollution.
