语篇类型：说明文 主题：人与自我·英语思维的训练 难度： 词数：约300 用时：8 分钟
You may ever hear about training for your health. But do you know anything about training for your English thinking？
When you are learning English and living with English speakers， English may become part of your “inner speech（内部语言）”. In other words， you start thinking in English. Your mind gives up trying to translate（翻译） things from your mother language into English. If you can think in English and speak what you think， you will improve your English a lot.
However， most of English learners don't live in an English－speaking environment（环境）， so they have few chances to practise. You may have the same problem. To help with this problem， we will share some steps with you.
The first step is to think in words. Try to name the things around you in your mind. If you continue doing that， it will become a habit. The words are going to show in your mind at once when seeing the things.
The next step is thinking in easy sentences. For example， if you are sitting in a park， you can tell yourself something like “It's such a beautiful day.” As it becomes easy， you can turn to more difficult sentences. Try to say a sentence in your mind or try to put the words together without thinking too much.
Then, let's move to conversations. When you do this, you are imagining yourself speaking to someone else. You can ask some questions and think of the replies by yourself. This is an important way to practise what you might say in a real conversation.
The most important thing is that you need to do all of these exercises every day， over and over again. If you make it a habit， everything will come into your mind without thinking. That is， you're thinking in English.
( ) 1. What is the problem for most of English
learners
A．They can't make difficult sentences.
B．They have trouble in remembering words.
C．They don't live in English－speaking
countries.
D．They get few chances to make friends with
the British.
C
( ) 2.How does the writer develop Paragraph 5？
A．By giving examples.
B．By listing numbers.
C．By telling stories.
D．By asking questions.
A
( ) 3. What is true about English thinking training？
A．The key is to practise every day.
B．It is better to start with difficult sentences.
C．It is useless to train your English “inner
speech”．
D．The most important step of it is to think in
words.
A
( ) 4. What can be the best title of this passage？
A．The Good Habits for Body Training
B．The Great Ways to Learn English
C．The Problems about Speaking English
D．The Steps to Train Your English Thinking

Learning is the eye of the mind. In our lives, we work hard to improve ourselves. But the learning efficiency(效率) is different among people. For example, in a same period of time, some people just get a little knowledge while others get more. So we need to take scientific and effective methods to improve our learning, especially the middle school students.①
Here is some personal advice from Eileen Gu, a student from Stanford University. She is also known as a champion skier. According to her, to learn efficiently, it is vital for us to have enough sleep first.
Enough sleep can help us learn better during studying time.② Secondly, before we start learning, we should think carefully and choose the things we are interested in. Thirdly， if we decide to learn something, we should pay attention to it.③ ____▲____ Don't let other things disturb（打扰） us.③
Besides, it is important to improve our memory. We'd better practise the knowledge we have learned every day before going to bed.
In this way, we can remember the knowledge well.④ Finally, it is necessary for us to think actively when studying. That's because an active mind can help us change what we learn into practical things.
In a word, we should learn how to study. Try to learn in useful ways so that we can get good grades.

Some people have good memory， while others' memory is poor. How can we improve our memory？ That is what I want to discuss today. I hope the followings can help you learn all the subjects well.
Give yourself time to develop a memory. Memories are very weak in a short time， and you may quickly forget something. The key is to pay attention to（专注于） the things you want to remember.
Move your eyes from side to side. Moving your eyes from side to side for just 30 seconds once a day will exercise your brain. And it makes your memory work better.
Say things you want to remember aloud. If you're meeting a person and don't want to forget his name， just read the name aloud after you learn it. This also works when remembering an address or a meeting time.
Use chunking（分拆）.For example, you can chunk a shopping list. Chunk it by the first letter of each thing, such as eggs, bread, butter, coffee and cheese. So that’s E,B,B,C and C．As you remember these first letters, you can remember the things well.
