Have you grasped the information taught by your teacher in class? Have you understood what you saw on the screen? Maybe everyone has their own learning style.

Generally speaking, we gather information with our minds and bodies in different ways, such as seeing, hearing and doing. Then our brains deals with that information, organizing it and connecting it to things we are already aware of. In other words, our brains will deal with the information in different ways. Sometimes we think in pictures or words. Sometimes we remember details or the big pictures. For different people, their learning styles are different too. One person may find it hard to mke out the information in written forms but easy to know it immediately in an oral description. However, another person might find difficulties with the picture but the written message.

Now scientists say there exist seven basic learning styles.

?Linguistic: These people learn through listening, reading, speaking and writing. ?Logical: These people learn with formula (公式) and principles (原理). ?Visual: These people learn by seeing what they are studying.

?Musical: These people learn well when information is presented through music. ?Kinesthetic: These people learn from movement and physical activities.

?Intrapersonal: These people learn best by linking new information directly with their own experiences.

?Interpersonal: These people learn well by working with others.

Therefore, if you know what learning style is your strength, you can balance your weakness, and get a more successful learning experience. 25. From the passage, we know that our brains __________.

Zheng He was one of China’s most famous explorers. Towards the end of the fourteenth century, his fleet (舰队) sailed to countries far away.

Zheng He had over 300 ships, some of which were over 150 meters long, and could carry up to 1,000 people. Besides, the ships carried gold, silver, silk, china and other treasures to give as gifts to the rulers of other countries. Some ships even had earth on board so that the sailors could grow their crops for food.

All the sailors thought the fleet was going to sink. Then a strange light appeared and after that, the storm passed.

With the belief, they were happy to follow Zheng He wherever he led them. Zheng He completed seven famous voyages between 1405 and 1433. He visited many countries in Asia and Africa. He brought back many gifts from the countries he visited, such as medicines, pearls (珍珠) and strange animals. The most famous of them were a giraffe and a zebra.
