28、 Many students think about how to best spend their time while studying, But what comes before study sessions can be important too-especially if you want to improve your memory of what you have learned. There are some useful, no-cost things you can do before you study to improve your memory and learning.
Before you study, doing cardiovascular exercise (有氧运动) may help you better remember what you learn. In a 2018 study, published in the journal Physiology and Behavior, researchers found that a group of young people who did 15 minutes of cardiovascular exercise remembered more words. Some studies have also shown cardiovascular exercise can help improve the memories of older people.
Location is also important for improving your learning. Some research suggests that changing where you study could help you remember more of what you study. Our memories sometimes depend on things in our environment. Researchers found that environmental context played a big part in how well people remembered words. The researchers noted that subjects who learned from a list remembered an average of 15.9 words, while subjects who learned in two different contexts remembered an average of 24.4 words.
Another way you can improve your study session is taking a pre-study test. Students often consider the test the final step to show how much they have learned. But, students need to test themselves often. Testing is one of the best ways to make yourself remember new information. In 2018, researchers found that students who took a test before learning new material did much better after studying the material. The students failed on the tests, but they were better able to remember the material than students who were only asked to read the information.

29、 Raised by grandparents, Nikki was 17 years old when she secretly went to the University of Kentucky under cover of darkness. It was 2009, and the advice of her late grandmother Sue echoed in her head as she drove: Leave. Go to college. And do not let anybody from the bigger, wider world think they’re better than you.
Sue died when Nikki was 9. The opioid (鸦片) addiction had already broken out in eastern Kentucky by then. And in Nikki’s mind the drug problem turned into a drug crisis (危机) shortly after Sue’s death, when her family went from sleeping with the screen door unlocked to buying new doors - without glasses, which could be broken by thieves. Around that time, Nikki went to a birthday party, only to find her friend’s mother passed out on the toilet, surrounded by vomit (呕吐物) and pill bottles.
In high school, her teacher asked her classmates what they wanted to be in future. Nikki knew by then that both her safety and her economic fortunes lay far from her hometown. But her grandfather, Curt, wanted her to stay home, thinking Nikki should become a nurse, and that the community college would be enough.
The night she ran away, Nikki stopped halfway because she was shaking too hard to drive. She’d been planning the move her entire senior year, secretly applying for scholarships and saving $800 by working at a comic-book store. But she hadn’t ever set foot on a university, and she worried about her grandfather, who had never lived alone. She’d waited for him to fall asleep, and when she imagined him waking to an empty house the next morning, her shaking turned to loud cry. Nikki cried so hard that she vomited. Then she wiped herself off and drove directly to college.
A decade later, Nikki, now 28,, has become one of the leading voices on the opioid crisis in rural America —where, about 20 years later, treatment remains scarce even as deaths caused by overuse of opioid increase. In many rural places, neighbors turn on one another rather than placing the blame on the pharmaceutical (制药的) companies creating such serious situations.
The crisis has killed over 800,000 Americans, but the government hasn’t provided effective solutions, let alone a level of funding that could stop the crisis. However, Nikki has figured out a way to offer treatment to people in need. While the program she’s developed is still small and new, its results are promising, and it appears to be copied in other states. Her aim is to help people with opioid addiction, rather than just locking them up.
【1】What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.The sudden death of Sue.
B.The terrible situation of the opioid crisis.
C.The danger caused by thieves.
D.The symptoms of the opioid addiction.
【2】What possibly contributed to Nikki’s further study in the university?
A.Her friend’s mom’s passing out.
B.Her experience in a comic-book store.
C.Her grandma’s thoughtful encouragement.
D.Her decision to make economic fortunes.
【3】Which of the following can describe Nikki’s characteristics according to Paragraph 4?
A.Kind and strong-willed. B.Sensitive and weak.
C.Selfish but optimistic. D.Diligent but cruel.
【4】The underlined phrase “turn on” in Paragraph 5 most probably means ________.
A.assist B.trust C.attack D.dismiss
【5】Why is the government’s failure to provide effective solutions mentioned?
A.To indicate the difficulties to treat the addiction.
B.To stress Nikki’s unusual achievements.
C.To support the practice of locking up addicted people.
D.To blame the government for killing 800,000 Americans.
