[19]Psychological research shows we consistently underestimate our mental powers. If you think this does not apply to you, then here is a simple test to show you are wrong. Write down the names of all the American states you can remember. Put the list away and then set yourself the same task a week later. Provided you have not cheated by consulting an atlas, you will notice something rather surprising. [20]The two lists will contain roughly the same number of states, but they will not be identical. Some names will have slipped away, but others will have replaced them.
This suggests that somewhere in your mind you may well have a record of virtually every state. So it is not really your memory letting you down; just your ability to retrieve information from it.
We would remember a lot more if we had more confidence in our memories and knew how to use them properly. One useful tip is that things are more likely to be remembered if you are in exactly the same state and place as you were when you learned them.
So if you are a student who always reviews over black coffee, perhaps it would be sensible to prime yourself with a cup before the exam. [21]If possible, you should also try to learn information in the room where it is going to be tested. When you learn is also important. Lots of people swear they can absorb new information more efficiently at some times of a day than at others. Research shows this is not just imagination. There is a biological rhythm for learning, though it affects different people in different ways.
For most of us, the best plan is to take in, new information in the morning and then try to consolidate it into memory during the afternoon.
But this does not apply to everyone, so it is essential to establish your own rhythm. [22]You can do this by learning a set number of lines of poetry at different times of the day and seeing when most lines stick. When you have done this, try to organise your life so that the time set aside for learning coincides with the time when your memory is at its best.
Avoid learning marathons—they do not make the best use of your mind. Take plenty of breaks, because they offer a double bonus: the time off gives your mind a chance to do some preliminary consolidation and it also gives a memory boost to the learning.
19. What does the simple test suggest?
20. What do we learn about the two lists in the test?
21. What does the speaker suggest about preparing for and taking an exam?
22. What tip does the speaker give on learning?
选项
A、People tend to underestimate their mental powers.
B、Most people have a rather poor long-term memory.
C、People can enhance their memory with a few tricks.
D、Few people know how to retrieve information properly.
答案
A
解析
录音一开头演讲者便指出我们总是低估自己的精神力量,接下来演讲者以假设有人反对这个观点的方式,做简单的测验来证明反对的观点是错误的,即是演讲者用这个测验来证明自己在开头时说的观点,A项“人们往往低估他们的精神力量”为答案。
