When you've read the same paragraph 10 times and you still make little of it as you are reading ancient Egyptian, and you're not studying ancient Egyptian, it'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. "You've got to put it into your short-term memory and then move it into your long-term memory," 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. "It's a cue to your mind" she says.Mills also suggests setting targets and stopping when you've reached them. "Some students will take that break even if they haven't finished what they set out to do and then they don't really relax or enjoy it because their mind is racing with 'I must, I should, I have to.'"(单选题,4分) 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't need to put it into your short-term memory

我们来一步一步分析这道题目。 题目问的是：**根据Debbie Bruckner的说法，要学好新知识，你需要做什么？** 我们先来看原文中Debbie Bruckner说了什么： > "You've got to put it into your short-term memory and then move it into your long-term memory," she says. To do that, you need to stop cramming new knowledge into your head. 翻译过来就是： > “你必须先把信息放进短期记忆，然后再转移到长期记忆中去，”她说。“要做到这一点，你需要停止不断地往脑子里塞新知识。” 从这段话可以看出，Debbie Bruckner的核心观点是： - 学习新知识的过程是：先进入短期记忆，再转入长期记忆。 - 要完成这个“转移”过程，**必须停下来，不再一味地塞入新知识**。 - 也就是说，**适当的休息和停止学习，是为了让大脑更好地消化和储存知识**。 现在我们来看选项： **A. you need to stop learning new information** （你需要停止学习新信息） 这个选项看起来有点绝对，但结合原文：“To do that, you need to stop cramming new knowledge into your head”，这里的“stop cramming”指的是“停止填鸭式地塞入新知识”，是为了让大脑有时间处理已学的内容。所以这个“停止”是暂时的、必要的，是为了更好地学习。这个选项有一定道理。 **B. you need to process it as quick as possible** （你需要尽快处理它） 原文没有提到“快速处理”，反而强调的是要有时间让信息从短期记忆转为长期记忆，这需要时间，不是越快越好。所以这个选项错误。 **C. you should put it into your long-term memory** （你应该把它放进长期记忆） 这个说法本身没错，但问题是：这是学习的目标，而不是“怎么做才能学好”的方法。题目问的是“如何学好新知识”，而Debbie强调的是“为了实现从短期到长期记忆的转移，你需要停下来”。虽然她说到了长期记忆，但重点在于“停止填鸭”这个行为。所以这个选项虽然内容正确，但不是她提出的具体建议或关键步骤。 **D. you don't need to put it into your short-term memory** （你不需要把它放进短期记忆） 这明显错误。原文明确说：“You've got to put it into your short-term memory and then move it into your long-term memory”，说明短期记忆是必经阶段。 所以，四个选项中，最符合Debbie Bruckner观点的是： **A. you need to stop learning new information** —— 因为她明确指出，为了把知识从短期记忆转移到长期记忆，你必须停止不停地塞入新知识。 虽然A选项看起来有点绝对，但在上下文中，“stop learning”应理解为“停止持续不断地学习”，即需要休息，这正是她强调的关键。 ### 正确答案是：**A** \boxed{A}
