■写作项目——Write a Learning Reflection
本单元的写作项目是写一篇学习反思，主要总结归纳自己学习的收获和感想，属于议论文。一般会用简洁、生动的语言把对所学知识的反思准确、完整地表达出来，以使自己能有所提高。学习反思主要包括对过去知识的反思，反思从中学到了什么、如何提高自己等。
由教材学写作
一、学文体架构
阅读课文，总结该文体的框架结构如下：
二、学要点构思
学习反思是议论性较强的读书笔记，用切身体会、实践经验和生动的事例来阐明从“读”中悟出的道理。因此，文章既要叙述，又要说理。叙述是议论的基础，议论又是叙述的深化，二者相互结合。第一段主要反思自己过去对记忆的认识，引出话题。先点明《记忆的秘密》一文对自己的帮助，并提出自己在读这篇文章之前对记忆的认识不够充分，点题明确，过渡自然。第二段主要叙述了作者从《记忆的秘密》一文中学到的关于记忆的一些信息。在陈述自己的感悟时，引用了原文中的一些句子来进一步表明自己对记忆的理解。最后一段主要讲述为了提高自己的记忆作者要采取的措施，紧密结合自身实际，言之有物。
三、学行文逻辑
此类文章的行文通常按照从对所学文章的理解到自我反思的逻辑顺序推进，分析部分要条理清晰，反思内容要与文章紧密结合且具有一定深度和合理性。对自己过去的认识进行反思时常使用before ...I didn't know...；反思现在的认识时常使用at the moment I understand ...; now I have learnt ...；介绍以后的计划或措施时常使用also; what's more/moreover; not only ...but also ...; in addition等使行文更连贯；在反思时常运用例证法来证明自己的观点，如for example等。
[提能训练] (完成句子)
①________________________， I didn't know so many celebrities would be present.
在参加这个晚会之前，我不知道有那么多的名人会出席。
②Moving out of this city means losing _______________________________________
________________________________________________________________________.
搬离这座城市意味着你不仅会失去一些朋友，还会失去很多机会。

How to Study Effectively
Efficient learning means using the shortest time to understand
what you do not know and fulfill what you cannot do, constantly
improving
yourself.There are some suggestions we can use for maximum efficiency.
First, a good attitude is an indispensable factor.However smart you
are, as long as you have a bad attitude, there is surely no good
result.What we need to do next is to set a specific goal.Just as
importantly, we should identify everyday work and make a sensible plan.
All in all, only when we have a clear plan and stick to the well-made
plan, can we see our hard work pay off.

Eleven-year-old Kristina shouted on the phone.Vera, her mother, packing lunches for her two children, heard the shouting and dashed to Kristina.Kristina gave her the phone.Kristina was talking to her father at his doctor's office in Moscow, Russia.
“Vlad, why is Kristina shouting？” began Vera in Russian.
“Vera, this afternoon I must attend a conference at her school.But I cannot be there.I have an important meeting.Why don't you attend it？” Vlad replied.
“How can I go？”
“You are not going to a forest.You'll be fine！”
“I know, but I can't speak English properly.It's a rule at her school.”
“You can manage.GO！”
Vera turned to Kristina, “Kristina, your father is busy.I will come instead of him.”
Kristina shouted, “Mother, you can't speak English.How can you come to the conference NO！” She plowed through her mother and ran sobbing.But Vera convinced Kristina.As there was no option, she agreed and left for school.
Vera was depressed.She felt that if only she knew English, she could avoid such situations.But “how is it possible for me to learn English while balancing so many tasks？” Suddenly, she realized that Andrei was getting late, so she got him ready and walked him to school.
In the afternoon, Vera attended the conference at the school.All the teachers and staff gave a warm welcome to Vera.Kristina kept quieting her mother.All she said were phrases like, “You are embarrassing！” “Stop talking！” and “You do not know English！” Ignoring her daughter's comments, Vera managed to keep her cool and finished the meeting.
After delivering a cake to a customer, Vera went home to start dinner.At home, she asked her mother-in-law where Kristina was.She said that Kristina had gone to study with her friends.While they were talking, Kristina walked in.
Vera asked, “Why did you go out You can study at home, you know！”
“I have doubts about English Literature.Can YOU clarify them？” Kristina said in an arrogant (傲慢的) tone.
At dinner, Vera complained about Kristina's behavior to Vlad.But he laughed and said, “Well, if you knew English, Kristina would not have to suffer like this.” Then he added, “This food is delicious.At least you are good at something！” That night, Vera was tossing and turning as she thought about her hurt feelings.“Like father, like
daughter.If my husband doesn't respect me, then how can my children respect me I must learn English.No matter how hard it may be, I must master English，” she thought.
注意：1.续写词数应为80左右；

excitedly hugged her and said, “Congratulations, Mum! I am proud of you and sorry for what I said.” Vera smiled happily and felt, “With determination, anything is possible.”
[阅读拓展训练]
Schools across the world are trying to come up with solutions to keep students active.Some are replacing traditional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks.At Ward Elementary School in
Winston, North Carolina, students have adopted a new program that requires riding fixed bikes while reading.
“Read and Ride” is the creation of school counselor Scott Ertl, who came up with the idea while he was exercising and reading at the gym.Believing it would be a fun way to convince students to become more active, he placed one in the corner of his classroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading classes.
It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Ride program to the entire school.Today Ward Elementary School has a dedicated exercise room filled with bikes that can be used by students while completing their daily reading assignments.
Besides making reading more fun, the program also helps students exercise at a comfortable pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports-related activities.It is also a perfect way to release energy during days when the weather is not helpful to outdoor activities.
Most importantly, however, are the program's academic benefits.A year after Read and Ride was introduced into Ward Elementary School, students actively involved in the program demonstrated an astonishing 83% reading proficiency.Those who had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes tested at a much lower reading proficiency, which was 41%.
Though the substantial improvement in academic achievement cannot all be attributed to programs like Read and Ride, experts believe they are a significant contributor.That's because studies have shown that physical activity stimulates (刺激) brain cells and helps prepare it for learning.As word of the difference made by this easy to execute exercise program spreads, don't be surprised to find schools across the country adopt “Read and Ride” for their students.

Eleven year old Kristina shouted on the phone.Vera, her mother, packing lunches for her two children, heard the shouting and dashed to Kristina.Kristina gave her the phone.Kristina was talking to her father at his doctor's office in Moscow, Russia.
“Vlad, why is Kristina shouting？” began Vera in Russian.
“Vera, this afternoon I must attend a conference at her school.But I cannot be there.I have an important meeting.Why don't you attend it？” Vlad replied.
“How can I go？”
“You are not going to a forest.You'll be fine！”
“I know, but I can't speak English properly.It's a rule at her school.”
“You can manage.GO！”
Vera turned to Kristina, “Kristina, your father is busy.I will come instead of him.”
Kristina shouted, “Mother, you can't speak English.How can you come to the conference NO！” She plowed through her mother and ran sobbing.But Vera convinced Kristina.As there was no option, she agreed and left for school.
Vera was depressed.She felt that if only she knew English, she could avoid such situations.But “how is it possible for me to learn English while balancing so many tasks？” Suddenly, she realized that Andrei was getting late, so she got him ready and walked him to school.
In the afternoon, Vera attended the conference at the school.All the teachers and staff gave a warm welcome to Vera.Kristina kept quieting her mother.All she said were phrases like, “You are embarrassing！” “Stop talking！” and “You do not know English！” Ignoring her daughter's comments, Vera managed to keep her cool and finished the meeting.
After delivering a cake to a customer, Vera went home to start dinner.At home, she asked her mother in law where Kristina was.She said that Kristina had gone to study with her friends.While they were talking, Kristina walked in.
Vera asked, “Why did you go out You can study at home, you know！”
“I have doubts about English Literature.Can YOU clarify them？” Kristina said in an arrogant (傲慢的) tone.
At dinner, Vera complained about Kristina's behavior to Vlad.But he laughed and said, “Well, if you knew English, Kristina would not have to suffer like this.” Then he added, “This food is delicious.At least you are good at something！” That night, Vera was tossing and turning as she thought about her hurt feelings.“Like father, like daughter.If my husband doesn't respect me, then how can my children respect me I must learn English.No matter how hard it may be, I must master English，” she thought.

Schools across the world are trying to come up with solutions to keep students active.Some are replacing traditional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks.At Ward Elementary School in Winston, North Carolina, students have adopted a new program that requires riding fixed bikes while reading.
“Read and Ride” is the creation of school counselor Scott Ertl, who came up with the idea while he was exercising and reading at the gym.Believing it would be a fun way to convince students to become more active, he placed one in the corner of his classroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading classes.
It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Ride program to the entire school.Today Ward Elementary School has a dedicated exercise room filled with bikes that can be used by students while completing their daily reading assignments.
Besides making reading more fun, the program also helps students exercise at a comfortable pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports related activities.It is also a perfect way to release energy during days when the weather is not helpful to outdoor activities.
Most importantly, however, are the program's academic benefits.A year after Read and Ride was introduced into Ward Elementary School, students actively involved in the program demonstrated an astonishing 83% reading proficiency.Those who had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes tested at a much lower reading proficiency, which was 41%.
Though the substantial improvement in academic achievement cannot all be attributed to programs like Read and Ride, experts believe they are a significant contributor.That's because studies have shown that physical activity stimulates (刺激) brain cells and helps prepare it for learning.As word of the difference made by this easy to execute exercise program spreads, don't be surprised to find schools across the country adopt “Read and Ride” for their students.

How to Study Effectively
Efficient learning means using the shortest time to understand what you do not know and fulfill what you cannot do, constantly improving yourself.There are some suggestions we can use for maximum efficiency.
First, a good attitude is an indispensable factor.However smart you are, as long as you have a bad attitude, there is surely no good result.What we need to do next is to set a specific goal.Just as importantly, we should identify everyday work and make a sensible plan.
All in all, only when we have a clear plan and stick to the wellmade plan, can we see our hard work pay off.
