Most people assume that the human brain is set on "automatic"—that means it learns all by itself.But this isn't always true.We need to train ourselves to be better learners—to actively take part in the learning process and to reflect on what we have learnt.These kinds of learning behaviours are called "active learning".I suggest doing four things to take an active role in your learning.Listen to the outer voice There are two kinds of voices：the inner voice and the outer voice.Your inner voice expresses your personal opinions，while the outer voice tells you about opinions from what you hear or read.Although your inner voice can be useful，it can also get in the way of learning.If you keep paying too much attention to it，you risk missing important information.Instead，active learners are open-minded and focus on what the speaker/ write is saying，not on what their brain is saying in the background.In this way，they are in a better position to make decisions.Ask questions Asking questions is the easiest way to promote active learning.When you get information from someone，from books or the Internet，ask two，three，even five question about the topic.The answers will lead you to further learning，and the very act of working out questions will help you to achieve a higher level of understanding about the topic.In short：Do not stop being curious.Get to the truth Active learners do not accept everything they learn.They attempt to find the truth at the heart of each idea.Even when an idea sounds entirely unlikely，there may be an aspect of it that is based on truth.So if someone says that dinosaurs still exist today，think about why they believe this.Where does the idea come from？Do they have enough data to support their views？If you try to find out the source of an idea，no matter how crazy it seems，you will increase your chance of learning something.Focus on the message Many people miss out on learning opportunities because they let their feelings get in the way.They refuse to learn or ignore what is said because of who the speaker/ writer is.It is true that we cannot help disliking some people —this is human nature，after all.But do not forget you can still learn from them.Active learners do not judge people based on firs impressions or personal feelings.Instead，they separate the message from the message.This goes the other way as well---do not just assume that some people are always right because of who they are or just because they are your friends.（1）Which of the following is TRUE about inner voice and outer voice？ ____ A.Your inner voice is useless，and always gets in the way of learning.B.Your inner voice is what you think.C.The outer voice usually is what your brain is saying.D.The outer voice expresses your personal opinions.（2）According to Paragraph 3 what do you know about asking questions？ ____ A.sking questions will lead you to further learning.B.Asking questions won't make you more motivated to learn.C.Asking questions facilitates active learning.D.Asking questions will stop you from being curious..（3）According to Paragraph 4，an active learner ____ .A.won't find out the source of an ideaB.is-willing to accept everything they learnC.believes that dinosaurs still exist todayD.always tries to find the truth at the core of every opinion（4）What do we learn about from Paragraph 5？ ____ A.We should try our best to like people we don't like.B.We often ignore what the author says.C.Active learners judge people based on personal feelings.D.The person we like may not always be right.（5）What is the author's purpose in writing this passage？ ____ A.To offer some tips on how to learn actively.B.To advise us to listen to the outer voice.C.To help us get to the truth.D.To share his learning experience.
