college students to learn pairs of Swahib and English words. So, for example, they had to learn that if they were given the Swahili word “mashua” the correct response was “boat”. They could have used the sort of facts you might get on a high-school quiz, but the use of Swahili meant that there was little chance their participants could use any background knowledge to help them learn. After the pairs had all been learnt, there would be a final test a week later.
Now if many of us were revising this list we might study the list, test ourselves and then repeat this cycle, dropping items we got right. This makes studying and testing quicker and allows us to focus our effort on the things we haven?t yet learnt. It?s a plan that seems to make perfect sense, but that is disastrous if we really want to learn properly.
Karpicke and Roediger asked students to prepare for a test in various ways, and compared their success ---for example, one group kept testing themselves on all items without dropping what they were getting right, while another group stopped testing themselves on their correct answers. On the final exam differences between the groups were dramatic. While dropping items from study didn?t have much of an effect, the people who dropped items from testing performed relatively poorly.
It seems the effective way to learn is to practice getting items back from memory, not trying to consolidate(巩固) them in there by further study. Moreover, dropping items entirely from you revision, which is the advice given by many study guides, is wrong. You can stop studying them if you?ve learnt them, but you should keep testing what you?ve learnt if you want to remember them at the time of the final exam.
So the evidence has a moral for teachers: there?s more to testing than finding out what students knows --tests can also help us remember.

（2015·江苏省南通市高三第一次调研测试）Attitude is a way that we think and feel about someone, or a way that we behave. We all have great potential and we all desire good results from our efforts. Each of us has the ability to put our unique human potential into action and to acquire a desired result. But the one thing that determines the level of our potential, and that predicts the quality of the result we receive is our attitude.
With a positive attitude, we experience pleasant and happy feelings. This brings brightness to the eyes, more energy, and happiness. Our whole being broadcasts good will and happiness. We believe we will have a bright future. Even our health is affected in a beneficial way.
A negative attitude creates unhappy feelings, moods and behavior. When the mind is negative, poisons are released into the blood, which cause more unhappiness and negativity. This is the way to failure, frustration and disappointment.
People can affect our attitude by teaching us poor thinking habits or unintentionally misinforming us or providing us with negative sources of influence, but no one can control our attitude unless we voluntarily give in to that control. No one else “makes us angry.” We make ourselves angry when we give in to control of our attitude. What someone else may have done is irrelevant. We choose, not they. They merely put our attitude to a test. If we select a changeable
attitude by becoming unfriendly, angry, jealous or suspicious, then we have failed the test. If we condemn ourselves by believing that we are unworthy, then again, we have failed the test. If we care at all about ourselves, then we must accept full responsibility for our own feelings. We must learn to guard against those feelings that have the possibility to lead our attitude down the wrong path and to strengthen those feelings that can lead us confidently into a better future. If we want to receive the rewards, the future holds in trust for us, then we must exercise the most important choice given to us as members of the human race by maintain(维持) full control over our attitude.
Having the right attitude is one of the basics that success requires. The combination of a sound personal philosophy and a positive attitude about ourselves and the world around us gives us an inner strength and firm motive(决心) that influences all the other areas of our existence. Attitude is everything
