The first guideline is “Take it easy”. Don’t overdo it. When learning complex things, such as a foreign language or a science, it is advisable to take breathing spells (一段时间) between learning periods. Most beginners push themselves too long at a time. Instead of practicing for two solid hours, practice only one hour. Then take a breather before doing the second hour of practice of study. Such spaced practice or study is better for learning than continuous practice of the same total length. Motivation (动机) is an important factor. People learn much faster when they really want to learn. Learning is more efficient when it is fun, less efficient when it is drudgery (辛苦烦人的工作). The learner needs to be able to measure the progress made. This can be done by testing or by comparing present performance with past performances. Don’t expect your learning skills to increase at the same rate. As you progress, the rate of increase slows down. You mustn’t be discouraged by this. The gains may be smaller, but they are still gains, small steps closer to perfection. The best explanation of “solid” in Para. 2 is “________”. A) hard B) continuous C) strong D) long Which of the following statements is NOT true? A) Studying for two continuous hours will always make one feel tired. B) A learner will study a subject more efficiently if he has interest in it. C) It’s good to compare your present performance with those in the past. D) Spaced study is important for beginners. It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A) if you are not interested in study, you can not learn well B) most beginners study too long at a time C) beginners generally make more obvious progress D) you can only make small progress in the course of study Ac
