Drink more milk. A new study showed that adults 4. ate or drank milk products at least five times a week did far better in memory tests than those who rarely ate or drank milk products.
5. more exercise. Several studies have shown that proper exercise is particularly good at strengthening memory.

Not all teenagers do well at school but why is that? There are plenty of theories—poverty, IQ., family background. 1.
A recent study in the U．S. found that over half of all high school students do not study hard. 2. A report from the U．K. shows that nearly a third of students do not complete their education because they don’t think their schooling is collected to the kind of work they will do in the future.
How can teenage students study harder? 3. His research suggested that a new model of schooling was needed—a model that connects what students are learning to their own plans for their future.
4. About 80 percent of the courses in the Studio School are done not through sitting in classrooms but through reallife.
Studio schools are smaller than traditional schools. Each student has a “personal coach” who helps him or her make a plan to achieve their learning goals. By having more practical goals, students become more determined to do well at school.
Mulgan says Studio Schools are based on a simple idea. 5. This simple idea is spreading. From just one school in 2010, Studio Schools had grown to more than 40 by 2014.
A.Mulgan helped create the Studio School.
B.Researchers also discovered some other reasons.
C.Researchers think some students are not active in schools.
D.They put teamwork and practical projects at the heart of learning.
E.Geoff Mulgan believes the solution lies in making learning more practical.
