Try to study in a place without television, music, or games. Remember, set aside (留出) a period of time to be alone. 1
Remember important information.
Have you ever noticed how it is sometimes easier to remember the information at the beginning or end of a passage? 1 Researchers have found that the order of information can play a role in memory. You can solve this problem by spending more time remembering this information.

Second, use the power of your senses. When you memorize poems or rules, you can draw simple graphs or listen to recorded reading. 3 Pictures and sounds leave deeper marks in your brain.

In high school, Zhan Tianyou became fascinated by modern science and the American railroad system. At the Philadelphia World Fair (费城世界博览会), he felt sad seeing China exhibit only traditional items like tea and silk, while other nations displayed advanced technology. 1
Driven by this contrast and encouragement from his friend Mrs Northrop, Zhan decided to major in civil engineering. He believed railways were key to China’s growth, just as they were for America. 2
At 17, Zhan entered Yale University. His hard work earned him a scholarship and a maths medal. He graduated with top grades in 1881. When the Qing government recalled Chinese students that summer, only Zhan and one other had completed their degrees. 3
Returning home with great ambition, Zhan began working on railway projects in 1888. He achieved fame by building the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway through extremely difficult terrain. 4 This success proved Chinese engineers could solve complex problems independently.
Known as the “Father of China’s Railways”, Zhan served his country for 31 years, improving millions of lives. 5

3 Early stories were often printed a chapter at a time in a newspaper. People would have to get the newspaper every week to read the whole story. One of the most famous stories, Oliver Twist, was written by Charles Dickens at that time.
4 Maybe you have heard of some of them. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote the adventure novel Treasure Island. J. M. Barrie wrote Peter Pan, and Lewis Carroll wrote Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Do you know a teddy bear called Winnie the Pooh?
