warn doodling students, sure that they must be daydreaming.
However, according to a recent study, doodling while listening to a boring lecture helps concentrate(集中)the attention:
Andrade, a psychology professor in England asked participants to listen to a boring lecture. Half the
participants were told to color in squares and circles freely on a piece of paper while listening to the
lecture. The other half weren’t given a task. After it was over, the participants were asked to retell the
lecture.
Those given the doodling task (color in squares and circles) remembered 29 percent more information
than the non-doodlers. Andrade said.
"If someone is doing a boring task, like listening to a dull conversation, they may start daydream,"
said Professor Andrade.
"Daydreaming distracts(使分心)them from the task, resulting in poorer performance. A simple task,
like doodling, can stop them from daydreaming without affecting their performance at the task," he said.
So the next time you"re doodling during a class, and you hear "pay attention", you can tell the teacher
with confidence that you"ve been paying attention to every word.

teacher, she works hard. 1 Both my brother and I love her dearly as she loves us.
My mother has been teaching math at a middle school in my hometown. She goes to work
early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon. 2 She treats
them with patience and teaches them well. For her excellent quality and very good teaching
results, she has been elected as a model teacher several times.
3 . Every day, when she comes back home from work, she sets about doing housework,
sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in
good order. She seems to be busy all the time. As she has been very busy working every day,
she looks older than her age. But she looks as cheerful and happy as ever. Mother never buys
expensive dresses for herself, but she often buys some inexpensive but high quality clothes for
us. 4 She just eats a plain meal outside when she is too busy to cook herself. She lives a
busy yet simple life, without any complaints.
Often she says to us, "work while you work, and play while you play. That is the way to be
happy and gay. If you do not work, you will become lazy and be of no use to society". What a
piece of good advice this is! 5 . This advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my behavior.
My mother is great indeed, and I always feel proud of her.
B. As a mother, she takes good care of us and gives us every comfort.
C. She loves her students and cares for them.
D. She never goes to expensive restaurants to enjoy meals.
E. My mother is hard-working and never wastes money.
F. I never forget it and always bear it in my mind.
G. Can you tell us something about your mother?

to learn about diseases and their effects.His natural curiosity led him to observe and study
the lives of wild animals in the countryside and he had strong and skillful hands,so essential
to a surgeon.In fact he became in a short time so famous that he was asked to lecture,but
John preferred the practical work of the surgeon.
Soon after becoming a surgeon Hunter joined the army.He learnt a great deal from his
experience of dealing with soldiers" wounds.In particular,he studied how to prevent a wounded
man from bleeding too much,learning thereby how the nerve system functioned in the bodies
of animals and humans.But there were many things he did not know about and which could
only be learnt by dissection.And this posed a problem.
The Christian church whose authority was complete on many matters opposed on dissection.
Cutting up dead animals to find out about their organs,and how these functioned was thought a
disgusting thing to do,and to cut up a human body,even though dead,was thought to be evil.
Surgeons had to pay grave diggers to steal bodies for dissection.Hunter once paid $7000 for
the body of an eight-foot Irishman whose skeleton can still be seen in the Royal College of
surgeon"s museum.To be a surgeon was thought so inferior an occupation that many operations
were carried out by barbers.
But Hunter continued with his experiments,at the time learning more about how our bodies
worked,and he found new ways of operating on people so as to save both their limbs and their
lives.If a man was brought to him with a bad tumor (肿瘤)on his leg,Hunter did not,as most
surgeons would have done,cut off his leg,but tried first to remove the tumor and treat the leg so
that the leg might be saved.

Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives.Not long ago,I had one that I
would like to__1__.I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team.The team was racing
down the highway at 85 mph__2__,we realized we were__3__.Luckily,we saw a rest area
ahead.I had a brand-new (崭新的)$20 bill.I was so__4__ because I had never had that
kind of cash before.But spending it on__5__seemed like throwing it away.We all rushed into
the pizza line.__6__I got a pizza and a drink,and walked to my table.About halfway through
the meal,I__7__I had not actually handed any money to the cashier.I had just__8__out,and
nobody had noticed.I felt terrible.
My conscience(良心)opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite.I couldn’t__9__
over it.I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and__10__for my stolen pizza.I was so upset
that I __11__ to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream for __12__that someone would
say,“Hey,Jeff,why don’t yo u use the change __13__ the pizza instead of that nice,new $20
bill?” I was not __14__of my cash now.
For the next two years,whenever I was __15__of the “pizza incident”,I would say to
myself,“Don’t think about it...”
I have learned two things from this __16__.Maybe I was a fool for __17__in to my
conscience,and being too stupid to appreciate a __18__pizza.But the real lesson is that even
if you get away from what you have done your conscience will __19__ up with you.
This reflects the saying,“A coward (懦夫)dies a thousand deaths,a hero dies one.” I was
a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times.If I had been a
“__20__” and gone back to pay for the pizza,I would have felt a little uncomfortable about
it only once,or maybe twice.
