B What do you do after studying?In fact,it is important for you to learn well and remember new information.Here are two ways that can help you improve your learning-good rest and sleep. Many students often continue another activity after studying.Perhaps they use their phones or computers.They might even play a video game or watch TV.But research suggests that rest after you study may help you remember what you have studied.With less activities after the study,your brain gets a chance to rest.Rest is difficult when you have too much exciting game and so on. A study found that both young and older adults were able to better recollect information from passages after doing wakeful rest.This study included 45 younger people and 40 elderly adults.If you want to give "wakeful rest"a try,here are a few simple things to do.Rest quietly for five to ten minutes.Do not watch your phone,read stories or play games.It is really that easy! Sleep also helps a lot.Sleep helps people to learn in two ways.A report explains that people without enough sleep cannot pay attention well,so he cannot learn efficiently ()It also says that sleep itself plays a role in improving memory,which is important for learning new information. Now you have two suggestions for how to learn new information.Try to get some wakeful rest after a study.Then try to get a good night's sleep.That's it-a simple,no-cost way to help you remember what you learn. ()5.What should students do to improve their learning after studying? A.Spend time watching TV. B.Start to play a video game at once.

Having a good memory means making lots of connections and keeping them in your long-term memory.To do this,you need to keep your brain in good shape.Eat plenty of brain food such as fish oil,fruit and vegetables.Laughing also makes your brain more active.Also,don't forget to exercise. So do some sports or just move around a lot in the house.Finally,get plenty of sleep.This will make your memories grow stronger. When you want to remember new information,you must use your senses and learn the information again and again.To remember something special,imagine something unusual to create connections.For example,you need to take a pencil,an eraser,your ID card and chips to your exam.Imagine the ID card as the body of an animal,the pencil its long neck,and the eraser its head.Your animal is hungry, so now imagine it eating a bag of chips.It may sound crazy,but it's fun and it works.

When people ask Al a question,it answers the question in a very short time.So people may feel that AI can think and answer questions as human beings do.Before Alex read this book,he believed this,too.However,this book says it will never happen.Actually,AI only uses a lot of information to get the best answer.So when it has more information,the answer will be much closer to the perfect one. AI technologies will be clever tools for human beings to use.This book also says almost half of our jobs will be done by AI technologies in the near future.People will soon find more AI technologies in our lives,such as checking the tickets,the price,people's faces and fingers. So,we believe that we will have much happier lives with these AI technologies around us. (）l3.What is the short form for“artificial intelligence'？ A.PC. B.AI. C.NBA. D.UFO.
