Too much TVwatching can harm children's ability to learn
and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new
studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television
on children.
One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California thirdgraders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.

One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California thirdgraders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.
A second study, looking at nearly 1,000 grownups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26yearolds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results don't prove that TV is the cause and don't rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人) may watch lots of TV.
课后课时作业(三)
112
Their study measured the TV habits of 26yearolds between ages 5 and 15. Those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood, compared with an average of more than 2.5 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.
In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest, while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.
While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms.

If you are in a dilemma about being selftaught or getting formal education, you have come to the right webpage. In this article, we note the advantages of each of these to help you decide which one would be the best for you.

Perhaps the biggest advantage of being selftaught is that you are able to save a lot of money. With each passing year, the cost of getting a degree is on the rise. As a result, many students these days tend to graduate from college with a significant amount of debt. This makes it necessary for them to get a job as soon as possible, otherwise a number of serious issues may arise. Besides, it is possible to learn faster on your own, by focusing on only those areas that you are interested in. Finally, learning on your own can be a great confidence builder. You have to struggle to gain knowledge but once you clear the basics on your own, you will find yourself being much more confident about your abilities.

One of the biggest advantages of formal education is that you get a degree which is a mark of recognition that you have achieved a level of knowledge in that particular field. Many companies tend to prefer candidates who have a college degree. What's more, though formal education lacks the convenience and flexibility of selfeducation, it offers you much more in terms of the actual structure of the learning process. Last, being formally educated means that you will enter a college or other similar educational institutions. There you will get the benefit of being taught and guided by learned teachers and other subject experts. This will be a big benefit as you will be able to take advantage of their experience and gain indepth knowledge about the subject.

When preparing for a test, most students assume it's best to simply study the material and try to memorize as much of it as possible. Many tests seemingly reward rote (死记硬背) memorization. But what if students trained by testing themselves instead? Usually, studying is considered a safer bet; why risk producing wrong answers when you can just memorize the right one? Yet it turns out making errors early on can be more helpful for remembering information over time.

Cognitive psychologists Henry “Roddy” Roediger and Jeff Karpicke conducted a study where they had hundreds of students memorize passages from a testpreparation book for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). One group memorized these passages by reading them repeatedly, while another group read the passages several times and then completed three tests. The results were surprising: the students who repeatedly studied the material initially performed better, but when they were tested again a week later, the students who tested themselves recalled over 60% of what they had learned, compared to only 40% for the group who repeatedly studied.

The testing effect has since been confirmed in many studies under a range of conditions. Its value remains undoubted, but scientists are still debating why it has such a powerful effect on memory. The simplest explanation is that testing exposes our weaknesses. When we test our memories, we expose the weaknesses of existing neuronal (神经元的) connections in a way that ultimately strengthens what's useful and removes what's not, making the information we attempt to memorize more lasting and easier to recall.
课后课时作业(四)
175
To maximize the benefits of the testing effect, it‘s important to return to the same information in shorter sessions over several days instead of cramming (塞入) everything into a single night of intense studying. This allows your brain to consolidate the information and create stronger memories.
In conclusion, testing is not just a tool for assessing your knowledge but also a powerful learning tool. By embracing errors and actively testing yourself, you can improve your learning and memory. So, instead of avoiding mistakes, embrace them as opportunities for growth and mastery.

5.What do we know about Henry and Jeff's study?
A.Selftesting works only with other study methods.
B.Both groups of students performed the same at first.
C.Rote memorization doesn't work well in the long run.
D.The study focused on using a testpreparation book for TOFEL.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The results were surprising ... who repeatedly studied.(结果令人惊讶:那些反复学习材料的学生最初表现得更好,但当一周后再次测试时,自我测试的学生回忆起了他们所学内容的60%以上,而反复学习的学生仅能回忆起40%。)”可知,研究表明,死记硬背在短期内效果较好,但在长期记忆中不如自我测试有效。故选C。

6.What happens to the brain when people test their memories?
A.Additional neuronal connections in the brain are created.
B.The brain processes new pieces of information at a higher speed.
C.The weak connections between neurons in the brain are removed.
D.Weak but useful neuronal connections are exposed and strengthened.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When we test our memories ... easier to recall.(当我们测试自己的记忆时,我们揭示了现有神经元连接的弱点,这种方式最终会强化有用的部分并去除无用的部分,从而使我们试图记住的信息更加持久且更容易回忆。)”可知,测试记忆时,大脑会暴露并强化有用的神经元连接,同时去除无用的连接,由此可知,弱但有用的神经元连接被暴露并得到加强。故选D。
