a math book.bit sounds almost too good to be true，but a new study on sleeping brains suggests that listening to languages while you sleep can actually help you to learn themfor the study，researchers played recordings of foreign words and their translations to subjects enjoying slow-wave sleep，a stage when a person has 1ittle consciousness of their environmentto ensure that the results were not compromised by foreign language words that subjects may have had some contact with at some point in their waking lives，researchers made up totally nonexistent foreign wordswhen the subjects woke up，they were presented with the made-up words again without their translationsthe subjects were then asked to imagine whether this made-up word indicated an object that was either smaller or largerthis vague(模糊的)way of testing their understanding of the words is an approach that is supposed to tap into the unconscious memoryunbelievably，the subjects were able to correctly classify the words in this way at an accuracy rate that was 10 percent higher than random chancethats not a rate high enough to have them suddenly communicating in a foreign tongue，but it is enough to suggest that the brain is still absorbing information on some level，even during sleepresearchers have long known that sleep is important for memory，but previously its role in memory was thought to relate only to the preservation and organization of memories acquired during wakefulnessthis is the first time that memory formation has been shown to be active during sleepin other words，our brains are listening to the world，and learning about it，even when our conscious selves are not presentthe next step for researchers will be to see if new information can be 1earned quicker during wakefulness if it was already presented during sleepif so，it could forever change how we train our brains to learn new thingssleep learning might become a widespread practice26why did researchers use some made-up words in the study?a. to guarantee the accuracy of the test resultb. to increase the difficulty of testing informationc. to avoid the subjects cheating in the experimentd. to test if our brain are good at learning something new27what were the subjects asked to do in the study?a. classify what they heard by sizeb. make up a word to represent “l(fā)arge” or “small”c. repeat the words they heard in the sleepd. imagine the meanings of the made-up words28what conclusion did researchers draw from this study?a. sleep is necessary for a good memoryb. memory formation goes on during sleepc. listening during sleep is good for our braind. learning languages in sleep has better effects cis there an important exam right around the corner? you might be starting to fear, thinking that theres no way for you to get a good grade because of the little time left to study. this is something all students may worry about. but you should accept the fact that you have to take the exam no matter how much you want to avoid it.thankfully, there are several ways to help you get at least a passing grade. you may have a try.get yourself together.this might sound like silly advice, but its actually the most important. when you fear, you may lose control over your thoughts and actions even if you try to study, perhaps you wont get anything in your head.enjoy enough sleep.its unbelievable many students have little sleep each night. thats not something to be proud of, especially if youre sleeping so little and still failing to do all the things. sleep isnt for the weak, but for the wise. your brain needs enough rest. after a good nights sleep, youll perform much better in the morning.dont fear.once the test paper is in front of you dont be afraid. take a deep breath and start the exam with confidence. just like when you were reviewing, put away the problems youre having difficulty in and come back to them later. if you have time left, go over everything to make sure you havent made any careless mistakes.29in the writers opinion, whenever theres an important exam, astudents might experience a period of fearbstudents will have little time to worrycstudents should try everything possible to avoid itdstudents have to ask teachers for more help30the writer describes “get yourself together” as silly advice because ait wont influence your thoughtsbit is one of the common sensescit is not the most important suggestiondit wont help you get anything in your head31when you meet with difficult problems in the exam, you can agive them up and take a deep breathbthink hard and review them once againcput them away first and come back laterdjust trust yourself and look through the paper32according to the passage, you may get at least the passing grade if ayou fear nothingbyou follow the writers advicecthe problems are not difficultdthe preparation time lasts longerdaccording to a recent study，there are about 70，000 blind children in indonesia. among them, 60 percent were not born blind.iyehezkiel parudani is one of them, who lost his eyesight by an accident at age six. he now teaches english to blind students at the pajajaran special school. iyehezkiel parudani says learning english can help blind people feel better about themselves.“by learning english，they can be an english teacher，a translator，and a tour guide.” students read using braille(盲文)to write，they use special tools too.iyehezkiel parudani says blind people should not let their physical disability influence their dreams. in 2008, he got a chance to study at university of texas. two years later, he got a masters degree in course development there.“in the us, if i go to the university to study, everything is availablelike ebooks, braille books.here in indonesia, you know, its difficult to find a reference book in ebook or in braille. we have to make it ourselves. in the us, i can move wherever i want because everything designed is really accessible for people with blindness.”eha lestari，one of his star students，says learning english has changed her life. she has already traveled to the us with the help of an indonesiaus programme. “i study english because i love english very much. i want to be a translator because i want to go to the other countries and then i want to meet some people from around the world.”like her classmates, eha loves to sing. here, music is part of daily life. even the students who do not study english can sing some american pop songs，such as stand by me，“stand by me. please stand, stand by me. stand by me.”iyehezkiel parudani says the song has a special meaning to the students.“in our life, we need other persons. you have to stand by me. without you standing by me，im meaningless.”33according to what iyehezkiel says，learning english can help blind students to . ahave more chances to get jobs bvisit englishspeaking countriescget a masters degree easily dread braille books quickly34from the last two paragraphs, we can infer(推斷) that the students . asang songs side by side bachieved their dreamschad a meaningless life dneeded help from others35the best title for the passage may be . ablind girl

however. anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. heres how:plan your time carefully. when planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. after making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. first your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying. 37 a weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.find a good place to study. look around the house for a good study area. keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. no games, radios, or television. when you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.make good use of your time in class. 38listening carefully in class means less work later. taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.study regularly. when you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 39if you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and youll remember it longer.develop a good attitude towards tests. the purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. they help you remember your new knowledge. the world wont end if you dont pass a test, so dont be over worried.40 you will
