How long should you study for a test? The answer to this question is differentfor everyone because it’s not just about how long you study—it’s also how effectively1you study. To study effectively, you should study at a proper2 time.
你應(yīng)該為一次考試學(xué)習(xí)多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間呢?這個(gè)問(wèn)題的答案因人而異,因?yàn)樗粌H關(guān)乎你學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)間,還關(guān)乎你學(xué)習(xí)的效率。為了有效學(xué)習(xí),你應(yīng)該在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)。
Study Session3 Timing
學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間安排
Most good study sessions are at least one hour long. A one-hour session givesyou enough time to focus4 on the material5, but it isn’t so long and makes you feeltired. Take time off between one-hour or two-hour sessions. This is how your brain6works best. At last, the key to determining7 how long you need to study is yourbrain type.
大多數(shù)合適的學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間至少持續(xù)一個(gè)小時(shí)。一個(gè)小時(shí)給了你足夠的時(shí)間專注于學(xué)習(xí)內(nèi)容,但也不會(huì)太長(zhǎng)讓你感到疲勞。在一小時(shí)或兩個(gè)小時(shí)的學(xué)習(xí)之間休息一下,是大腦運(yùn)行的最佳方式。最后,決定你需要學(xué)習(xí)多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的關(guān)鍵是你大腦的思考類型。
Students Who Are Global Thinkers8
具有全局型思維的學(xué)生
Some students are global thinkers, which means their brains work hard be鄄hind the scenes9 as they read. As they read, learners at first may feel they’re takingin too much information, but then find that things start to make sense. If youare a global thinker, you should try to read in parts and take breaks to relax as youlike. Your brain needs time to deal with the information.
有些學(xué)生是全局型思考者,這意味著他們?cè)陂喿x時(shí)大腦在后臺(tái)努力運(yùn)行。當(dāng)他們閱讀時(shí),學(xué)習(xí)者起初可能會(huì)覺得他們接受了太多的信息,但隨后會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這些內(nèi)容開始變得可以理解了。如果你是一個(gè)全局型思考者,你應(yīng)該試著分部分來(lái)閱讀,并按自己的意愿去休息放松。你的大腦需要時(shí)間來(lái)處理信息。
Students Who Are Analytic10 Thinkers
善于分析思考的學(xué)生
Some students are analytic thinkers, which means that they love to make thingsclear. These thinkers often can’t go on right away if they find some information thatdoesn’t make sense.
有些學(xué)生是分析型思考者,這意味著他們喜歡把事情搞得一清二楚。這些思考者如果發(fā)現(xiàn)一些信息不能理解,通常立即就不會(huì)繼續(xù)閱讀下去了。
If you’re an analytic thinker, you might find yourself getting stuck with something.It keeps you from getting through your reading in a right time. Do not read itover and over again, put a note or a pencil mark on every page where you getstuck. Then, move on to the next part—you can go back and look up words orideas the second time around.
如果你是一個(gè)分析型的思考者,你可能會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己被某些內(nèi)容卡住了,這讓你無(wú)法在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)間內(nèi)完成閱讀。不要一遍又一遍地讀,在每一頁(yè)你卡住的地方貼個(gè)紙條或用鉛筆作記號(hào)。然后,繼續(xù)閱讀下一部分———第二次讀的時(shí)候你可以回頭再來(lái)查單詞或查找想法。
