Tony Buzan’s grades were going down at university. Disappointed with his low marks, he went to the library to find a book on how to use his brain. He was directed to the medical section. Confused, he said to the librarian, “I don’t want to take my brain out, I just want to learn how to use it.” Her reply was simple: “There’s no book on that.”
“I thought to myself,” says Buzan, “if I buy a little radio, I get an instruction manual (說(shuō)明書(shū)). If I buy a microwave, I get an instruction manual. But for the most important machine in the world, no instruction manual?”
Fifty years later, Buzan has become the world’s leading speaker on the brain and learning. In the late 1960s, he invented the mind map, a visual representation of thought processes.
This kind of thinking has become a popular tool for planning, organizing, problem solving, and communicating across the world. He has since authored and co-authored over 100 books that have appeared in more than 30 languages.
“I think in most cases, people use less than 1 percent of their brains,” he says.
But how do you expand this 1 percent? How do you become the best student you can be?
According to Buzan, the answer is simple. You take a section of whatever it is that you are trying to learn, he says, and you read it for its essence (精髓、要素). Then you make a mind map of all the important details. For a truly effective mind map, you start with a colored image in the center of your page. Draw the first image that comes to mind on the topic you are mind mapping. Branch off from your central image and create one of your main ideas. From your main branches draw some sub-branches and from those sub-branches you can draw even more branches. He emphasizes that you should use plenty of images and colors as these help with memory recall and encourage creativity.
By using this visual format (形式), according to Buzan, your mind will begin to make associations that will help you remember more information for longer periods of time.
Buzan believes that traditional note-taking methods, such as lists and summaries, do not stimulate the brain’s recall capacity or ability in the same way. Because of this, students will often find themselves locked away in their rooms for hours, trying hard to memorize separate details. Buzan believes that for a more effective and lasting way of studying, you must first understand how your brain works.
“Everyone is born smart,” he says. “You just have to learn how to learn.”
56. What is the main purpose of the first two paragraphs?
A. To show that Tony Buzan was worried about his study.
B. To invite us to think about the importance of manuals.
C. To prove that the mind map is a useful tool for the brain.
D. To show why Tony Buzan studies the brain and learning.
57. What does the word “stimulate” mean in the passage?
A. Excite. B. Improve. C. Encourage. D. Affect.

A. If we learn the mind map, we will become the best student.
B. The mind map will help your brain connect separate details.
C. The mind map will be more effective if we put more details in it.
D. We will solve the problem if we make connections between ideas.

A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow(烏鴉) was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain(鄙視).
“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.
Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments(評(píng)價(jià)) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan pretended(假裝) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick?”
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life…”

All live poultry(家禽) markets in Shanghai will be closed from April, 6th after H7N9 bird flu virus was found on a farm product market, the government announced. On the morning of April, 5th, 20,536 birds were killed at the Huhuai market, where the virus was found the day before.
Up to now, the city has reported six cases of H7N9 bird flu, and four people have died from the virus (病毒). The other two, an adult and a 4-year-old boy, remain in a hospital.
So far, 16 H7N9 cases have been confirmed(確診) in China. Apart from the Shanghai cases, six are in Jiangsu, three in Zhejiang and one in Anhui provinces. Two people died in Zhejiang.
Shanghai's two surviving patients "are getting better", Wu Fan, chief of the city's Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said at a news conference (記者招待會(huì)) on Friday. "Not all H7N9 cases lead to worse illness."
Wu suggested that people with a fever and runny nose who suspect(懷疑) they have the virus go to hospital immediately. "The most important factor (因素) in limiting the number of H7N9 patients depends on whether the virus can spread among human beings. So far we haven't found any cases that show this kind of virus can spread from person to person," Wu said. Up to now there are no effective vaccines (疫苗) for H7N9, experts said, but using Tamiflu (克流感) may be effective in the early stages (階段).
"Breathing masks and Banlangen (板藍(lán)根), a traditional Chinese herbal medicine that may help fight against the virus, are in high demand. Xue Li, a sales clerk at a drugstore in Wuxi, said their Banlangen was sold out and all the masks were out of stock.
