BA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops. Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibilit

16、y（清晰度）. But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught. Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professor sa

17、id. In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts. Th

18、e researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts. The researchers report said, “While more notes are beneficial, if t

19、he notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.”In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly bett

20、er on the exam. These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future. 24. More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can _. A. write more notes B. digest co

21、ncepts better. C. get higher scores D. understand lectures better 25. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be _. A. skillful. B. mindless. C. thoughtful. D. tireless.26.

22、and C. explain the process of taking notes D. promote the use of laptops.27. The passage is likely to appear in _. A. a newspaper advertisement B. a computer textbook. C. a science magazine D. a finance reportC Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive（欺骗）？When someone tells you something

23、that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture. For example, someone might say, “ I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery（彩票）. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!” This gu

24、ys a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. Hes really a big loser! He didnt say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. Thats called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but

25、 they are just as dishonest. Some politicians often use this trick. Lets say that during Governor Smiths last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents says, “During Governor Smiths term, the state lost one million jobs!” T

26、hats true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smiths term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.” Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. Its against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine

27、out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company. This kind of deception happens too often. Its a sad fact of life: lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well

Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache. D. Governor Smith did a good job during her last term. 31. Which of the following b

30、est expresses the main idea of the passage? A. Hes really a big loser! B. Sometimes the truth can lie as well.C. Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths.D. Its against the law to make false statements. DAll across California, honeybees are flying away from their hives（蜂箱） and dying.
