大学英语4综合教程Cloze原文绝美完整版1-6汇编
大学英语4综合教程Cloze原文绝美完整版1-6汇编Man has a blood tie with nature and nobody can live outside nature. Nature provides us with everything we need: the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat.For quite a long time after man began to live in the realm _ of nature, he lived in fear of its destructive forces. He used to regard nature with its elemental forces as something hostile to him. And even the forest was something wild and frightening to him. Very often, he was unable to obtain the merest daily necessities though he worked together with others stubbornly and collectively with his imperfect tools. Through his interaction with nature, man changed it gradually. He cut down forest, cultivated land, transferred various species of plants and animals to different climatic conditions, changed the shape and climate of his environment and transformed plants and animals. He subdued and disciplined electricity and compelled it to serve the interests of society.Nonetheless, with the constant expansion) of agriculture and industry, man has robbed nature too much of its irreplaceable resources, polluted his own living environment and caused about 95% of the species that have existed over the past 600 million years to become extinct and still many others to be endangered. The previous dynamic balance between man and nature is on the verge of breaking down. Man is now faced with the problem of how to stop, or at least to moderate the destructive effect of technology on nature.-------The crisis of the ecological situation has become a global problem. The solution to the problem depends on rational and wise organization both of production itself and care for Mother Nature. This can only be done by allhumanity, rather than by individuals, enterprises or separate countriesUnit2、Technology is a "hot" issue nowadays. The defenders of technology stress its advantages while the opponents emphasize) its disadvantages. Neither side has ever taken the time to look at the opposite point of view.The defenders of technology hold that with technology, people's living conditions have been greatly improved. For example, the boom in productivity has made goods better and cheaper. Therefore, things that were once luxuries, such as jet travel and long-distance phone calls, have become necessities. Medical technology, in particular, has benefited us a lot, especially in prolonging life expectancy.On the other hand, the opponents of technology argue that technology makes life obviously worse. Telemarketing, traffic jams, and identity theft are all phenomena that make people consciously) unhappy. In addition, many people believe technology disrupts relationships and fractures community.Ever since the Industrial Revolution, the relationship between happiness and technology has been an eternal subject for social critics and philosophers, though economists and social scientists have seldom touched on the topic. However, in 1974 the economist Richard Easterlin did groundbreaking work on the relationship between prosperity and well-being. In his famous paper entitled "Does Economic Growth Improve the Human Lot?", Easterlin showed that there was no real correlation between a nation's income level and its citizens' happiness in the developed countries.In fact, technology is neither good nor bad. It depends onwhat we want to do with it. Therefore, the responsibility belongs exclusively to humans who have to acquire a social conscience, to respect human beings, nature and its balances.Unit 3According to Craig Russell, when we make an initial effort in our personal quests for knowledge, we may not even know that a certain field of learning exists. But, after we have done some reading, we will get to know more about the topic (1). At the same time, we may feel that all the reading creates (2) more questions rather than answers them. We then realize how little we really (3) know and how much more we need to read and think and write. Russell suggests that we write after reading each time. His experience tells him that it is his writing that has led him to acquire a better grasp _(4) of the topic he studies. People may think that only those who know and who are sure (5) of themselves write. For Russell, however, it's just the opposite (6), for writing doesn't close things off – it opens things up. To say that the more we know, the more we know we don't know seems contradictory (7). According to Russell, modern physics tells us that reality _(8) itself is contradictory. The more closely scientists look into our physical _(9) reality, the more it slips away from them. In a way, the more they learn, the less they know. Craig Russell believes that a proper understanding will inevitably lead us away from the force and rigidity (10) of dogmatism and toward the flexibility and freedom of the individual(11). Therefore, we must temper our pride in knowing with the humility(12) of not knowing. The truth always exists there, but, it is like the rainbow(13) because we can never really grasp it, never hold it in our hands and truly know it. We can only, as William James said, "live today by what truth we can get today and be ready to call itfalsehood (14) tomorrow".Most people have work to do. With work, they can enjoy (1) their lives. However, people who did physical (2) labor were looked down upon in the past. Many people were compelled _(3) to take manual labor because it was an absolute necessity (4) for them to earn a living and to support (5) their families. By contrast, people who did mental (6) work were highly respected. Under the influence of this idea, even today some people still idealize (7) their future when making choices for their career. What they care most about is whether the job can give them enough social status (8) rather than whether they can realize their values (9) in it. In their eyes, those who do manual labor should still be classified (10) as inferior in social status. In fact, there is no essential (11) difference between those who work with their hands and those who work with their mind (12). Whether a job is labor or work does not depend on the job itself but on people's attitude (13) towards it. As long as you like your job, you will think you are fortunate (14) enough to take it and you will do it enthusiastically.Unit5What does success mean to you? Does it mean wealth, fame, power or something else? Different people have different pursuits in life so they understand success in different ways. Some people chase money their whole lives. To them, more money means more success. Some people run after fame. With fame and reputation, they can gain the admiration and love of many others. However, some people dedicate themselves to the well-being of society.Doubtlessly, money is something that can be used as a reward to those who have done valuable work. Those whoperform their work excellently should be paid sufficiently. But success cannot be measured in monetary terms, nor in terms of the amount of power one may exercise over others. After all, money and power can assure people neither of happiness nor of respect from others.Fame, too, is a flawed measure of success. Momentary fame can bring great joy to those who have it for a time. But they are very likely to become the slaves of their celebrity because of the public’s demands. In addition, they will easily become the target of everyone who disagrees with them and of the media as well. To be frank, if one is unable to fully enjoy life and liberty, the short-lived success is nothing but illusory.Therefore, to achieve the right kind of success is vitally important. As long as one can combine his own material needs and spiritual satisfaction with those of the well-being of society, Unit6、Truth is a fact accepted as true, for which proof exists. Truth is a great principle, without which beauty may fade and love may wither. Those who uphold truth have a strong sense of responsibility. Those who hold firmly to truth are faithful to their duty and the people they serve. They commit themselves to the well-being of others. With aspirations to make a contribution to society, they are ready to correct their own mistakes, if any. It can be said that they are men of moral integrity who never ask for gratitude in return.Truth dawns upon us slowly but surely. In the long quest for truth, people have accumulated precious knowledge and experience. However, truth also needs nourishment just as plants need water, because many people are too preoccupied with petty and sometimes even mean concerns to respond to the greatbeauty of truth when it flowers or they frequently fail to appreciate truth when it is tenderedIn short, truth is an invaluable asset to the whole of humanity. Stick to the truth and we will weave a timeless pattern, and earn the respect and esteem of others, elevate the world today above its present imperfections and place ourselves in the proud position of promoting the good of the humanity.。

When dad told us about the delivery work it sounded easy, just a piece of cake. The trouble was, we didn’t take care to inquire just how much material was involved. Before long trucks seemed to be pulling up outside our house all day long, leaving stacks of advertising. It seemed we should have no chance of meeting the deadline. The we had this marvelous idea. Hiring local kids to help would enable us to get the job done on time. True, it would cut into our profits, but there was no alternative. things seemed to be going well, but then we had trouble over a pay claim. Our workers demanded five dollars an hour, but fortunately for us they were ready to settle for less. As for us, when we finally settled our accounts we ended up earning less than the minimum wage for our efforts. I guess we should have know better than to believe that big bucks come easy.While it is often said that love makes the world go round, scientists take a less romantic view. To their minds, energy is the fundamental force at work. All animal life is dependent on obtaining sufficient energy from food. Deer, like other wild animals, do this through eating as much food as possible in the summer, when food resources are abundant. Any excess of energy over their current needs is deposited in the body in the form of fat. Then, when food becomes scarce in the winter, they can live off the fat. In addition, nature helps them to survive the winter by slowing down their metabolism, assisting them to pull through the cold weather. However, when the winter is particularly harsh, deer may have to draw on the fat they have built up more heavily. Under such conditions, only deer in good condition are able to survive to give birth to a new generation.In his essay George Orwell starts off by citing Bernard Shaw’s remark that people are more superstitious today than they were in the Middle Ages. They promptly accept the opinions of experts without asking any questions themselves. Obviously Shaw exaggerates just in order to prove his point that we should not always fall back on the theories of well-known authorities. Rather, we should aim at finding out some things for ourselves. By way of illustration, Orwell outlines arguments against the Flat Earth and the Oval Earth theories, thus throwing light on the fact that much of our knowledge actually rests on authority rather than on reasoning or on experiment. Finally, Orwell draws his conclusion that ours is a credulous age partly because we have such an exceptionally heavy burden of knowledge.The last time Lyz saw her husband was as he waved goodbye to her from the steps of their house. He was due to fly off on business later that day. Unluckily for him his flight was cancelled and he found himself having to take United Flight 93 the following day. It was from on board that ill-fated flight that he telephoned with the news that hijackers had threatened to blow up the aircraft. Cursing his bad luck, he nonetheless realized that his fate was in his own hands. Hoping that the terrorists were bluffing when they claimed to have a bomb, he and some other passengers decided to act. Without hanging up, he set off with the others to attack the hijackers. From the telephone came the sound of screams. Then silence.Whether or not to tell the seriously ill about their true condition has long been a dilemma for medical professionals. Many doctors believe that concealing the facts from those patients will benefit them psychologically and may help them recover. But new studies show that contrary to this widespread belief, the overwhelming majority of patients want to be told the truth, even in the case of grave illnesses. If they are not, they feel betrayed and misled. As it is, lying makes it difficult for patients to make choices concerning their own health. And keeping a dying patient in the dark prevents him from making decisions about the end of his life. Lying can also cause doctors to lose their integrity and credibility and dose harm to colleagues who are honest with their patients. In the long run, lying hurts the entire medical profession. As a consequence of the current concerns, many hospitals have adopted patients’ bills of rights, but patients still need to be wary because the days if physicians deceiving patients are certainly not over yet and many never be.We all know that we need to “read between the lines” of a text, but some people find writing between them just as helpful. For making books can be a useful tool at times. This is not true of all books, of course. It would clearly be wrong to scribble notes in a magnificent leather-bound first edition that has been preserved unmarked. Nor would writing on works we just dip into for light entertainment be appropriate. But with one’s own textbooks, marking may have a place. For reading is not just a passive transfer of information from the page to the eye. Reading is a much more active process, in which we need to think through and question what we read in order to integrate it into our existing knowledge. Setting down our ideas on the page as we read and underlining those points we find particularly relevant can have a part to play here. So, next time you sit down to study, instead of letting your eyes just glide lazily over the page, reach for your pen!。

第一单元1、Nature had endowed the rest of the human race with a sixth sense and left me out.2、You could hear the wind, trapped in his chest and struggling with all the unnatural impediments. His body would reel with shock and his face go white at the unaccustomed visitation. He would stagger back to his desk and collapse there, useless for the rest of the morning.You could hear that the fresh air had to struggle with difficulty to find its way to his chest, because he was unaccustomed to this as his lungs had been harmed by drinking. His body would lose balance and his face would become pale as a result of the unexpected visit of the wind. He would go back to his desk unsteadily and fall into the chair, unable to do anything for the rest of the morning.3、In this instance, he seemed to me ruled not by thought but by an invisible and irresistible spring in his neck.Mr. Houghton‟s deeds told me that he was not ruled by thought; instead, he would feel a strong urge to turn his head and look at the girls.4、Technically, it is about as proficient as most businessmen‟s golf, as honest as most politicians‟intentions, or as coherent as most books that get written..Technically speaking, it is as skillful as most businessmen‟s golf playing, as honest as most politicians‟ purpose, and as consistent as most books‟ content.5、They have immense solidarity. We had better respect them, for we are outnumbered and surrounded.As they are everywhere and so daunting in number that we‟d better not offend them.6、Man enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the same way on the side of a hill.Humans enjoy following the crowd as it can bring them peace, security, comfort and harmony, which is like cows eating grass on the same side of a hill.7、To hear our Prime Minister talk about the great benefit we conferred on India by jailing people like Nehru and Gandhi. To hear American politicians talk about peace and refuse to join the League of Nations. Yes, there were moments of delight.Our Prime Minister was a hypocrite to say that the imprisonment of the two major leaders of Free-India Movement-Nehru and Gandhi-was good for India. The American politicians were dissimulators to talk about peace but refuse to join the League of Nations. Those moments made me feel happy.8、I slid my am around her waist and murmured that if we were counting heads, the Buddhists were the boys for my money. She fled. The combination of my arm and those countless Buddhists was too much for her.I slid my arm around her waist and whispered that if we were talking about the number of people who believed in a certain religion , I believed the Buddhists were greater in number.

Bella was the boarding-house lovely, but no one had taken advantage of the fact.Bella was young and pretty and was seen as the beauty of the boarding-house, but no one had shown any particular interest in her.2. He possessed a brain, and since no one understood it when he used it, it was resented.Mr. Penbury was intelligent, but no one in the boarding-house liked him for that. He was too smart for them, and everybody felt annoyed.3. But Mrs. Mayton never allowed more than three minutes to go by without a word and so when the silence had reached its allotted span, she turned to Penbury and asked.But Mrs. Mayton would not tolerate any silence for more than three minutes. So when no one broke the silence within three minutes she lost her patience and, turning to Penbury and asked.4. “Now,then,don‟t take too long thinking of an answer!”glared Mr. Calthrop.Mr. Calthrop was urging Mr. Penbury to give an answer immediately so that he would not have the time to make up a story.5. If found the spot all right. The weapon went through Mr. Wainwright‟s heart.6. We all know you walk in your sleep.We all know you are a sleep walker, so you may commit the murder in your sleep.7. “but let me suggest that you give the statement to the police with slightly less emphasis.”Mr. Penbury advises Mr. Calthrop not to put so much emphasis on his statement when talking to the police if he does not want to arouse their suspicion about his story.8.”No,”I answered.”I‟ve come to cure it.”“No,” Miss Wicks answered, “I have come to put an end to your cough.”Unit31. Most students are usually introduced to the study of history by way of a fat textbook and become quickly immersed in a vast sea of names, dates, events and statistics.Most students usually come to have their first experience of the study of history through the reading of a thick history textbook and soon are overwhelmed by a large number of names, dates, events and statistics.2.History, which seemed to be a cut-and-dried matter od memorizing “facts,”now becomes a matter of personal preference.People used to believe history study was just an effort of memorizing “facts.”Now history means different things to different people,because they choose the best description andiinterpretation according to their own preferences among those given by historians.3.They cannot help but feel that two diametrically opposed points of view about an event cannot both be right;yet they lack the ability to decide between them.They cannot help feeling that two absolutely opposite ideas about an event cannot both be correct,but they do not have the ability to judge which one is right.4.They will read of the interception of the “Zimmerman Note,”in which the German foreign secretary order German minister in Mexico,in the event of war,to suggest an alliance between German and Mexico whereby Mexico,with German support,could win back territory taken from Mexico by the United States in the Mexican War.They will come across the historical interception of the “Zimmerman Note.”In that telegraph,the German foreign secretary gave order to German minister in Mexico and asked him to propose an alliance with Mexico Government in case there would be war and to promise that Mexico Government would like to help Mexico win back the land that was taken away from Mexico by the US in the Mexico war.5.Can we eliminate all disagreement?If the state of our knowledge were such that it provided us with a model of unquestioned validity that completely explained human behavior,we can.We can get rid of all disagreements if our knowledge could give us a perfect model that completely explained human behavior.Unfortunately,such model doed not exist.Unit41.”My parents,and my wife‟s parents,and our priest,decided that I wasn‟t feeling up to it.And finally I decided so too.”“My parents, my wife‟s parents and our priest all thought that I‟d pretend to be not feeling well enough as an excuse to be absent from the awarding ceremony.So I decided not to attend the ceremony.”2.”…I‟m a sculptor,not a demonstrator.”“I‟m a sculptor,and I don‟t want to show any antagonistic feeling towards the white world by receiving an award.”3.In Orlando you develop a throat of ironIn Orlando you (the blacks) gradually develop a throat as strong as iron.4.… so I thought I‟d go and see the window, and indulge certain pleasurable human feelings.So I thought I‟d go and see my sculpture in the window and have some pleasant feelings of pride by enjoying my own work,which is natural to human beings.5.”You know it‟s by one of your own boys,don‟t you?”“What is extraordinary about the wonderful sculpture is that it is made by a black man like you.Do you know?”6.”She knows it won‟t be an easy life.”“She knows that her child will live a hard life in South Africa because they are black people.”7.I didn‟t feel like a drink at that time of night..I didn‟t want to drink because if the police caught me drinking late at night I would be in great trouble.8.He wasn‟t lookin g round to see if anyone might be watching.He wasn‟t afraid of being seen walking with a black man.9.I said unwillingly,”Yes.”I answered “Yes”,but actually I didn‟t want to tell him the truth.10.Now I certainly had not expected that I would have my drink in the passaage.I wasn‟t onlyfeeling what you may be thinking …Drinking in the passage was certainly beyond my expectation.What was in my mind was not what you may be thinking…11.“Our land is beautiful. But it breaks my heart.”“Our country is beautiful.But the apartheid made me very sad.”12….as though they wanted..to touch me somewhere and didn‟t know how….as though they wanted to communicate with me emotionally but didn‟t know the way to do it 13.And I thought it was a pity he was blind, for if men never touch each other, they‟ll hurt each other one day.And I thought it was a sad thing, because if you don‟t understand each other and don‟t care for each other, they will hurt each other some day.14.What he was thinking,God knows, but I was thinking he was like a man trying to run a race iniron shoes, and not understanding why he cannot move.Nobody knows what he was thinking.But I was thinking that he was much like a man trying to run but couldn‟t because he was still not completely free fro m racist prejudices which were dragging his feet like iron shoes.第五单元1.He treated Nerys like—well, there were times when—not just me, you understand…We allcould have done.The man Nerys was engaged to left her after she had become disfigured. But before the bank raid, he behaved like a lover. Many man, not just me, could have done the same if we had engaged with her.2.This man… treated her as only a handsome man can treat a beautiful woman.This man loved her only because she was beautiful. So he left her when she was no longer beautiful.3.We used to…When we were…We used to love this music when we were in love.4.I‟m sorry.I‟m sorry about what hapended to Netys.5.Sorry. I didn‟t mean to…I didin‟t mean to hurt you by offering money, because I know it‟s impossible for us to compensate in any way for the distress and suffering that Nerys and you have gone through.6.Or is it because it‟s us who are offering?You don‟t accept our help only because Vic was responsible for her suffering.7.You stick with him. You stick with Vic. If you …re looking for heros .You are with a hero if you are looking for a hero and that‟s Vic rather than me, so don‟t leave him.8….and I love him so much, Mrs Parks, and I‟m ever so sorry…I love Vic very much. I feel guilty about this because Vic is your husband.9. Sharon, it‟s a passing thing, I promise.Sharon, I can assure you that this experience is transient and won‟t last long. We all have the feeling when we are young.10.You never hear good about yourself, do you?You never hear people speak ill of you, do you? People gossip about you.11.You know bloody well what you‟ve done to her…You know clearly that you have been hurting her.12.I am not being shouted at.Beware of your manners. Stop shouting at me!13.If she dies, vic, if that girl dies…If Sharon gets drowned, you will be held responsible.14.Right. There is about to be some serious damage done, I can tell you…I will make you pay what you have done to me. You will be punished for what you have done to me.15.No, Sharon, I‟d rather you…Sharon，you‟d better not do anything. You have done enough to him.第六单元1.They rest upon mere tradition, or on somebody‟s bare assertion unsupported by even a shadow of proof…They are merely based on tradition, or on someone‟s statement that cannot be supported even by the least amount of proof…2.But if the staunchest Roman Catholic and the staunchest Presbyterian had been exchanged when infants, and if they had been brought up with home and all other influences reversed, we can have very little doubt what the result would have been.But the staunchest Roman Catholic would be the staunchest Presbyterian, and vice verse ifthey were exchanged when they were infants and brought up in opposite homes and under different influences.3.It is consistent with all our knowledge of psychology to conclude that…We can get the conclusion that each would have grown up with just the opposite beliefs to what they have now, and this is in agreement with our knowledge of psychology…4…we should remember that the whole history of the development of human thought has been full of cases of such “obvious truths”breaking down when examined in the light of increasing knowledge and reason.When we tend to say that any general truth is obvious and to doubt it is foolish, then we should remember that in the history of the development of human thought there have been many obvious truths which break down as knowledge and reason increase.5.The age-long struggle of the greatest intellects in the world to shake off that assumption is one of the marvels of history.The great learners spent hundreds of years struggling against the assumption that the planets moved in circles. The success of getting rid of that assumption is one of the miracles in human history.6.Many modern persons find it very difficult to credit the fact that men can ever have supposed otherwise.In modern time, it is difficult for many people used to believe that human beings think not with mind but with heart.7.We adopt and cling to some beliefs because—or partly because—it “pays” us to do so. But, as a rule, the person concerned is about the last person in the world to be able to recognize this in himself.We accept and continue to hold some beliefs because—or partly because—it brings us benefits. But generally the person involved maybe the least competent in recognizing thia himself.8.There is many a man who is unconsciously compelled to cling to a belief because he is a “somebody” in some circle--There are a lot of men who unconsciously are forced to hold a belief because he is very important in a circle. If he gives up that belief, he would not be important any more.第八单元1. As the edge of a new century, globalization is a double-edged sword: a powerful vehicle…, but an immensely controversial process that assaults national sovereignty; erodes local culture and tradition and threatens economic and social instability.As the new century is coming, globalization is like a sword which has two edges: it can have both negative and positive effects. On one hand, it can increase economic production, spread newtechnology and improve the living standards of the rich and poor countries; on the other hand, it is also a very controversial process because it threatens national independency, destroys local culture and tradition, and it may cause economic and social instability.2. In 1990, private flows (bank loans, bond financing, equity investment in local stock markets and direct investment by multinational companies ) total an estimated $136 billion to these 29 countries.In 1990, the private capital (bank loans, bond financing, equity investment in local stock markets and direct investment by multinational companies ) flowing into these 29 countries is estimated to have reached a total of $136 billion.3.Behind the merger boom lies the growing corporate conviction that many markets have become truly global. By trying to maximize their presence in as many nations as possible, companies seek to achieve of scale…The reason for the merger boom is that more and more companies have a strong belief that many markets have become truly global. Trying their best to enter other countries‟markets, companies are eager to realize economies of scale…4….as a result of “crony capitalism,”inept government investment policies and excess optimism……because of the corruption in those countries where political and financial resources are in the hands of a few privileged people along with their dishonest friends, their foolish government policies and unreasonable optimism…5.The street protesters… may have lacked a common agenda or even a coherent case against trade. But they… reflected the anxiety and anger that globalization often inspires.The street protesters at the Seattle meeting of the World Trade Organization in early December may not have a common program or a good reason against free trade. But they showed clearly their worries and anger about globalization. European fears of GM food or opposition to cross-border mergers also showed their worries and anger.。

大学英语4课后cloze及翻译原题带答案Cloze1In the 21st century, clouds and stormy weather no longer automatically bring operations to a halt or force a change in targets（目标）. Technologies such as the Global Positioning System now allow cruise missiles（巡航导弹）and other smart weapons to home in on（瞄准并飞速接近）their targets. But the weather still is a factor that must be reckoned with, especially with precision-guided weapons that must be highly accurate （高度精确）to be effective.Fortunately, the ability to obtain weather forecasts will get better. In the next few years, remote weather sensors（传感器）will grow rapidly on unmanned vehicles. This will create a network of observing platforms that will give commanders an instant overview of weather inthe battle zone（战场）. In some areas you’ll have direct delivery of weather information straight from the computes to black boxes in aircraft and other vehicles. That will be especially important for target-bound aircraft（瞄准目标的飞行器）.Such technology will give whoever possess it a tremendous edge（优势）over their enemy and enable them to use developing weather conditions to their advantage. As we get superior satellites into space, we’ll gain huge advantages in observing meteorological conditions in denied areas（盲区）, where we don’t have people on the ground. And our modeling ability will continue to improve as our computers get more powerful. The past 10 years have witnessed a revolution in our communications and computer abilities. It’s exciting to think of what the next 10 years will bring.在第二十一世纪，云层和暴风雨天气不再自动带来业务停顿或迫使目标的变化（目标）。

As a consequence of the current concerns, many hospitals have adopted patients’ bills of rights, but patients still need to be wary because the days if physicians deceiving patients are certainly not over yet and many never be.We all know that we need to “read between the lines” of a text, but some people find writing between them just as helpful. For making books can be a useful tool at times. This is not true of all books, of course. It would clearly be wrong to scribble notes in a magnificent leather-bound first edition that has been preserved unmarked. Nor would writing on works we just dip into for light entertainment be appropriate. But with one’s own textbooks, marking may have a place. For reading is not just a passive transfer of information from the page to the eye. Reading is a much more active process, in which we need to think through and question what we read in order to integrate it into our existing knowledge. Setting down our ideas on the page as we read and underlining those points we find particularly relevant can have a part to play here. So, next time you sit down to study, instead of letting your eyes just glide lazily over the page, reach for your pen!。
