How to Memorize Things Quicker Than Other People？
The following is my advice for you.
Step 1: Preparation
1. For most people, this means choosing an area with few distractions, though some people do advance greatly by learning in public areas. Figure out what is most conducive to your learning so that you can get started.
Step 2: Record what you’re memorizing
This is especially useful if you’re trying to memorize information from a lecture. Use a tape recorder to track all of the acquired facts being spoken and listen to it. 2. Obviously, this is most helpful for auditory(听觉的) learners, and it’s also useful because it ensures that you’re getting more context from a lecture that will help you learn the information faster.
Step 3: Write everything down
Before you start trying to recall everything from memory, write and re-write the information. This will help you become more familiar with what you’re trying to memorize. 3. This is most useful for experiential learners.
Step 4: 4.
Now that you have everything written down in one set of notes, separate them into sections. This is ideal for visual learners, especially if you use color coding to distinguish between subjects. 5.
A. Separate your notes.
B. If you’re trying to memorize a speech, record your reading of the speech and listen to the record.
C. Doing this while listening to your tape recorder can also help you keep a lot of the data.
D. To memorize, first you should choose an area.
E. Section your notes.
F. This will help you break everything down and start classing the information being recorded in your brain.
G. To improve your memorization, pay close attention to which environment you choose.
Attitude is an internal(内在的) state that influences the choices of personal action made by the individual. Some researchers consider that attitudes come from differences between beliefs and ideas; others believe that attitudes come from emotional states. Here, we focus on the effects of attitudes upon behavior, that is, upon the choices of action made by the individual.
The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously influenced greatly by attitudes. Whether one listens to classical music or rock, whether one obeys the speed limit while driving, whether one encourages one’s husband or wife to express his or her own ideas—all are influenced by attitudes. These internal states are acquired throughout life from situations one is faced with in the home, in the streets, and in the school.
Of course, the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation will be largely determined by the particulars of that situation. An individual who has a strong attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast when he is in a hurry and no police cars in sight. A child who has a strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny when she thinks no one will notice. But the internal state which remains unchanged over a period of time, and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations, is what is meant by an attitude.
Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single incidents, as when an attitude toward snakes is acquired by an experience in childhood at the sudden movement of a snake. They can result from the individual’s experiences of success and pleasure, as when someone acquires a positive attitude toward doing crossword puzzles by being able to complete some of them. And frequently, they are learned by copying other people’s behavior, as when a child learns how to behave toward foreigners by observing the actions of his parents. Regardless of these differences, there is something in common in the learning and modification(修正) of attitudes.

A. are largely affected by one’s behavior
B. come from different situations in one’s life

A. Attitudes are only learned through one’s success.

D. Attitudes learned in danger will last longer.
3.The author uses the examples in Paragraph 3 to show ________.
A. particulars of a situation may influence an individual’s action
B. people with good attitudes may sometimes do bad deeds
C. an individual may change his or her attitude fairly easily
D. people often make mistakes when they are not noticed
4.Which of the following can be learned from the passage?
A. Researchers believe that attitudes only come from emotional states.
B. Attitudes have a bad influence on actions.
C. An honest child won’t steal a penny.
D. Attitudes can be learned either by one’s experience or by observing the actions of others.
Cell phone feels like a part of your body? A global survey has found that most people can't live without their mobiles, never leave home without them and, if given a choice, would rather lose their wallet.
Calling mobile phones the "remote control" for life, market research firm Synovate's poll said cell phones are so ubiquitous that by last year more humans owned one than did not.
Three-quarters of the more than 8,000 respondents polled online in 11 countries said they take their phone with them everywhere, with Russians and Singaporeans the most attached.
More than a third also said they couldn't live without their phone, topped by Taiwanese and again Singaporeans, while one in four would find it harder to replace the mobile than their purse.
Some two-thirds of respondents go to bed with their phones nearby and can't switch them off, even though they want to, because they're afraid they'll miss something.
"Mobiles give us safety, security and instant access to information. They are the number one tool of communication for us, sometimes even surpassing face-to-face communication. They are our connections to our lives," Jenny Chang, Synovate's managing director in Taiwan, said in a statement.
Mobiles have also changed the nature of relationships, with the survey finding nearly half of all respondents use text messages to flirt, a fifth set up first-dates via text and almost the same number use the same method to end a love affair.
Apart from the obvious calling and texting, the top three features people use regularly on their mobile phones globally are the alarm clock, the camera and the games.
As for email and Internet access, 17 percent of respondents said they checked their inboxes or surfed the Web on their phones, led by those in the United States and Britain.
One in 10 respondents log onto social networking websites such as Facebook and MySpace regularly via mobile, again led by Britain and the United States.
"As the mobile becomes more and more an all-in-one device, many other businesses are facing challenging times. The opportunities for mobile manufacturers and networks however are enormous," said Synovate's global head of media, Steve Garton.
Not everyone is tech savvy, however: 37 percent of respondents said they don't know how to use all the functions on their phone.
1.According to the passage, the top two regular functions of mobile phones may be ________.
A. camera and game
B. calling and texting
C. email and calling
D. surfing and texting
2.According to Jenny Chang, why is cell phone important for people?
A. There are many functions on their phones.
B. About half of all respondents end a love affair via text.
C. Mobiles make people feel safe, secure and help them to get information.
D. Mobiles used as the tool of communication is not popular with people.
3.What can be inferred from paragraph 1?
A. Cell phone plays an important part in body.
B. As for most of people, wallet is less important than cell phone.
C. More humans would rather own their wallet than cell phones.
D. Poll considered mobile phones as the “remote control” for life.
4.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. rareB. specialC. interestingD. common
