You’re actually creating a pattern (方式) and sound that will make the information easier to remember in the future. 7 Turn the TV off while you study and put down the phone while you’re driving. When you do different activities at the same time, your attention is divided, which will make it hard to process (处理) the information necessary to remember what you’re doing.

Research shows that it’s hard to achieve the same result by writing on your phone. So you’d better use pens and paper if you really want to remember your friend’s birthday or an important meeting.

We hear this question a lot these days. In fact, these are two personality types based on the MBTI test. “I” refers to “introverted (内向的)” and “E” refers to “extroverted (外向的)”. 41 So what is the MBTI test? It’s a personality test that helps us better understand our personality, preferences and tells us how we connect to the world around us. It was developed in the 1940s by Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers. When you take the MBTI test, you are presented with several sets of questions. 42 For each question, you need to choose the answer that best matches your feelings, attitudes (态度) and behavior, Then you’ll know what your personality type is. 43 Let’s take a closer look at just a few. Firstly, people want to understand themselves. Human personality is very complex (复杂的), and this test provides a simple way for people to learn about themselves. Next, taking the MBTI test is relaxing and enjoyable, because its questions are interesting. 44 The MBTI test offers a way to go beyond small talk and connect with others on a deeper level. Lastly, while there are many kinds of personality tests on the market. The MBTI test is the most widely recognized. The MBTI test may show something we don’t know about ourselves and can be a fun way to help us make new friends. But knowing someone’s MBTI results doesn’t mean we really know that person.

D．They cover all parts of your behavior, preferences and thought processes. E．Generally speaking, an “I” person is shy and quiet, while an “E” person is outgoing.

Green can give you energy, as it is the color of nature and represents new life. Strong colors If you require strength in either body or mind, red may be of some help to you. Red is the color of heat. It represents power and strong feelings. Wearing red can also make it easier to take action. 46 Calm colors Have you ever walked into a room and felt relaxed? It could be because the walls were painted blue. Blue is a calm color. 47 Blue can also represent sadness, so you may say “I’m feeling blue” when feeling sad. Warm colors Some colors, such as orange and yellow, can make you feel warm. People in cold areas prefer warm colors in their homes to create a warm and comfortable feeling. Orange represents joy. It can cheer you up when you are feeling sad. Yellow is the color of the sun, so it can remind you of a warm sunny day.

This thought must be changed. 49 Housework builds children’s responsibility (责任). Children are a part of the family, so it is clear that they also have responsibility for doing housework. 50 The adults who did housework at age 3 or 4 are likely to be successful in their mid-20s because they have more responsibility for other areas of their lives. 51 It is very bad when the children can do housework, but they just stand and see their parents do chores. Sharing housework helps make everyone be in good moods (心情). So, start doing housework with children! Housework makes children independent. Parents cannot always be children’s side. 52 Teaching them how to do housework is an important way to make them become independent adults in the future. Do not wait to tell kids to do housework! This is because not only you want them to share with you, but also housework plays a part in children’s development. A．Housework makes children happy.

They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. 35 Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then swim back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery (谜). Scientists have no good answer yet. 36 For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night.
