44、sit down and remember a list of phone numbers or a series of facts, how would you go about it? Theres a fair chance that youd be doing it wrong.One of the interesting things about the mind is that even though we all have one, we dont have perfect insight(洞察力) into how to get the best from it. This i

45、s partly because of flaws (缺陷) in our ability to think about our own thinking. Studying this self-reflective thought process exposes human beings mental blind spots.One area where these blind spots are particularly large is learning. Were actually surprisingly bad at having insight into how we learn

46、 best. Researchers Jeffrey Karpicke and Henry Roediger III made an experiment, where they asked college students to learn pairs of Swahili and English words. So, for example, they had to learn that if they were given the Swahili word “mashua” the correct response was “boat”. They could have used the

47、 sort of facts you might get on a high-school quiz, but the use of Swahili meant that there was little chance their participants could use any background knowledge to help them learn. After the pairs had all been learnt, there would be a final test a week later.Now if many of us were revising this l

48、ist we might study the list, test ourselves and then repeat this cycle, dropping items we got right. This makes studying and testing quicker and allows us to focus our effort on the things we havent yet learnt. Its a plan that seems to make perfect sense, but its a plan that is disastrous if we real

49、ly want to learn properly.Karpicke and Roediger asked students to prepare for a test in various ways, and compared their success-for example, one group kept testing themselves on all items without dropping what they were getting right, while another group stopped testing themselves on their correct

50、answers. On the final exam differences between the groups were dramatic. While dropping items from study didnt have much of an effect, the people who dropped items from testing performed relatively poorly.It seems the effective way to learn is to practice getting items back from memory, not trying t

51、o consolidate (鞏固) them in there by further study. Moreover, dropping items entirely from your revision, which is the advice given by many study guides, is wrong. You can stop studying them, if youve learnt them, but you should keep testing what youve learnt if you want to remember them at the time

52、of the final exam.So the evidence has a moral for teachers: theres more to testing than finding out what students knowtests can also help us remember.63. According to the passage, we often fail to remember facts because _.A. we ignore our weakness in memorizing thingsB. we dont understand well what

A discovery of a mental blind spotDIn the remote corner of the country a meteorological(氣象的) station was set up. Next to the station was the managers house. Apar

56、t from looking after the instruments, his job consisted of writing accurate reports on the state of the weather so that, should questions be asked, the authorities would not be at a loss but have the necessary information at hand.The manager was a most conscientious young man. He wrote his reports i

57、n a neat hand and always truthfully. If it rained he would not rest until he had described the rain from every possible angle: when, how much, for how long.Towards the end of the summer, storms became frequent and they brought rain with them. He described them truthfully in detail, and sent his reports to the head offices. The storms contin
