When you#39;ve read the same paragraph 10 times and you still make little of it as you are reading ancient Egyptian, and you#39;re not studying ancient Egyptian, it#39;s time for you to put the books down. Experts say good breaks are a critical part of exam preparation and actually make your brain work better. Debbie Bruckner, the director of the Student Union Wellness Centre at the University of Calgary, says an overburdened brain stops processing new information.quot;You#39;ve got to put it into your short-term memory and then move it into your long-term memory,quot; she says. To do that, you need to stop cramming new knowledge into your head. Psychologist Joanne Mills says most people can concentrate for 45 minutes to an hour at a time, but then need 15 minutes to rest. She suggests picking your break activity -- taking a walk, listening to music -- and setting a timer for 15 minutes. quot;It#39;s a cue to your mindquot; she says. Mills also suggests setting targets and stopping when you#39;ve reached them.quot; Some students will take that break even if they haven#39;t finished what they set out to do and then they don#39;t really relax or enjoy it because their mind is racing with #39; I must, I should, I have to.#39; “If you#39;re in the flow, ride the momentum until you come to a natural break in the material,then set the timer again and walk to the corner store. Alternating which books you#39;re hitting also helps. Work on English for an hour, then switch to math. It#39;s like exercising multiple muscles at the gym, as different parts of your brain work for different subjects. Bruckner says that to maintain a healthy mind-body-spirit temperament in the heat of exam season, sit down with your calendar. quot;Make a schedule for a month -- when your assignments are due, when your final exams are, what the weighting is for each,quot; she says.1.[单选题]By saying quot; what the weighting is for eachquot; the author means that you will know_____.A.which exam is the most importantB.what time each exam isC.how to balance your timeD.what is the most important task each time2.[单选题]According to Debbie Bruckner, to learn new knowledge well_____.A.you need to stop learning new informationB.you need to process it as quick as possibleC.you should put it into your long-term memoryD.you don#39;t need to put it into your short-term memory3.[单选题]The word quot;cramquot; in the second paragraph isclosest in meaning to_____.A.put something into a container, especially in a hurryB..put many things into a place at one time that makes itcompletely fullC.teach students as much as possible in a short time beforethe examinationD.put too much knowledge into the brain, although there ishardly enough room for it4.[单选题]The author uses quot;ancient Egyptianquot; to infer to that the reading is_____.A.very interestingB.hard to understandC.very boringD.of different culture5.[单选题] If you haven#39;t finished the target you set, youshould_____.A.still take the break in every 45 minutesB.wait until you come to a natural break in the materialC.set the timer again and walk to the corner storeD.stop thinking quot;I must, I should, I have toquot;
