When you are sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins(页边的空白处) of your notebooks? If so, you are doodling. Many people think of doodling as a distraction(分心) from more important things But it might be just the opposite.
One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear. In 2009 researchers asked two groups of people to listen to a phone message. One group was encouraged to doodle, but the other was not. Neither group knew that it would be asked to remember information from the message. But the group that doodled remembered 29% more.
Other people have suggested other uses for doodling. Jesse Prinz, a professor who studies doodling, says it can help you think creatively. Walking away from a problem to draw might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you'll have a fresh perspective（观点) and figure out an answer more quickly.
An author named Sunni Brown wrote a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. She admits that people see doodling as doing nothing, but she wants to change that. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning through doodling.
Brown believes doodling is helpful because it includes many ways of learning. You learn in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the better you learn. And when you doodle while listening to a lecture, you use all four.
You might think that being good at drawing is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling is to help you think, then it doesn't matter what the picture looks like. Even if you're not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away!

2.What does the study in Paragraph 2 show? （不多于八个单词）
3.What does Jesse Prinz say about doodling in Paragraph 3? （不多于六个单词）

Ungraded question, posted by Instructor, Dr Green
In next week's lecture, we will be discussing identity. Social experts suggest that we have three basic types of identity. First, your given identity includes your gender(性别), your birthplace, and your age. These are aspects of identity that are almost impossible to change. Second is your chosen identity, groups you choose to become a part of. Chosen identity can include your beliefs, your professions(
职业), or your community organizations. Finally, your core identity is what makes you unique. Your behaviors, personality, values, and skills are all part of your core identity. Before Monday's lecture post a short reply to this question.
QUESTION: How has your identity changed in the last few years, including the three aspects of identity?
Posted by Ali K.
When I started high school, I thought that I knew exactly who I was and where I was headed. I was a star soccer player, and my entire identity was soccer-I lived it and breathed it. This was my chosen identity. Everything changed when l had a terrible knee injury during my second year. After several months, it was clear that I wouldn't be able to play soccer competitively again. I felt really sad when I had to quit the team, and I was very unhappy. Slowly I started to see that I was still the same
person on the inside. I was still a very hard-working person, someone who didn't easily give up, and someone who loved being on a team. These were part of my core identity. I had to rediscover my values (hard work and competition) to get me through this hard time. I've been developing a new sense of identity. Although I've had to change part of my chosen identity, I now understand that my core identity (who I am inside) is the most important for me.

Like Ali, I had a very hard time in high school. I felt like my parents didn't understand or respect me, and nothing I did was right in their eyes. ① They didn't think I was trustworthy, and I admit that sometimes l didn't make great choices. But my parents are part of my given identity, and therefore they are very important in my life. During high school, my chosen identity was the group of friends that I belonged to. ② However, some friends were influencing me in bad ways. I felt really lost and unhappy with my life. Later, when I started at the university in my city, I decided to find some new friends. ③ Now I can realize the changes in me and feel more comfortable around my parents because they respect me as an adult. ④ It is important to remember that your chosen identity is not who you are. You can make other choices, and change your life.

English is an important global language-but that doesn't mean it's easy to learn. Many experts have tried to make English easier for students to learn, but they weren't always successful.
In 1930, Professor C. K. Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English. It had only 850 words (and just 18 verbs!), and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours. The problem was that those people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages, but they couldn't understand the answers in "real" English! It was also difficult to explain a word which wasn't in the Basic English word list. If you wanted a watermelon(西瓜), you asked for "a large
green fruit with the form of an egg, which has a sweet red inside and a good taste."
R. E. Zachrisson, a university professor in Sweden, decided that the biggest problem learners of English was spelling, so he invented a language called Anglic. Anglic was simila English but with much simpler spelling. "Father" became "faadher", "new" became "nue","years" became "yeerz". Sadly, Anglic never became popular.
Even easier is the language which ships' captains use: it's called "Seaspeak". It uses a simple phrases for every possible situation. In "Seaspeak", for example, you don't say "I'm sorry, what did you say?" or "I didn't understand. Can you repeat that?"... it's just "Say again." No more grammar!
In the age of computers and international communication through the Internet, a new form of English might appear. A large number of the world's e-mail messages are in English and indicate examples of NetLingo like O.I.C. (Oh, I see!) and T.T.Y.L. (Talk to you later). In another fifty years English as we know it might not exist. We will probably all speak fluent Internetish!

B. What English has brought to people.

Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror(镜子 ). Your face is not likely to change and stays young-looking. In 2035, medical science is better than ever. Many people of your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you're not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging nanotechnology treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!
You say to your shirt, "Turn red." It changes from blue to red. In 2035, "smart clothes" contain particles, which are very tiny in size and can be programmed to change your clothes' color or pattern.
You walk into the kitchen. You get the milk, but a voice says, "You shouldn't drink that!" Your fridge has read the FRID chip, a piece of electronic equipment, on the milk bottle, and it knows the milk is old. In 2035, every food item in the supermarket has an FRID chip.
It's time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your "smart car" where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeves(袖子). Nano-sized "smart technology" is all around you. "Your whole body and everything around you will become part of the same network," says scientist Ampy Buchholz.
So will all these come true? For new technology to succeed, says scientist Andrew Zolli, "it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already." The Internet is one example-what will be the next?
