Question

Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it？Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power？Start writing.
By putting thoughts into words，you are telling yourself the logic behind what you think，feel，or only partly understand. Often，explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words，you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power”.
Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many，if not most，highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head，but if you keep a journal(日志)of your ideas the next time you’re working on a big project，you’ll probably have more success.
Want to understand a topic？Write a book about it. That’s an extreme example，but if you are learning something new，write a letter to a friend about it，and you will understand it better. Want to invent something？Write an explanation of the problem—why you want to solve it，and why it is worth solving，and you’re half­way there.
Writers don’t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often，they write about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to an understanding. Give it a try.

小題1:標(biāo)題確定題。本文主要是講了通過(guò)寫作，可以把你自己的一些想法理解得更加清晰，更加透徹，從而進(jìn)一步提高你的大腦思維能力。選項(xiàng)B概括了本文的主旨。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第二段In other words，you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power”.說(shuō)明A是對(duì)的，第三段的Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember.可知寫作能增加記憶力，B是對(duì)的，第四段的Want to understand a topic？Write a book about it.說(shuō)明寫作能幫助你理解一個(gè)話題，D是對(duì)的，而對(duì)于選項(xiàng)C，文章則沒(méi)有涉及。
小題3:推理判斷題。文章第四段but if you are learning something new，write a letter to a friend about it，and you will understand it better.主要是說(shuō)寫作能夠幫助你去理解一個(gè)話題，幫助你解決一些問(wèn)題，選B。
小題4:猜詞題：從第四段的句子：Write an explanation of the problem—why you want to solve it，and why it is worth solving，如果寫出對(duì)于問(wèn)題的解釋，那么就等于解決了問(wèn)題的一半，解決問(wèn)題的一半就是說(shuō)你就快要成功了，所以選D。
