All three f my children were subject-matter experts befre they even left primary schl. My eldest sn memrized every statistic n every ftball trading card he gt his hands n.¹ His brther knew hundreds f car makes and mdels by heart. And I'm sure that my daughter—a huge One Directin fan—remembered mre facts abut the band than(they did!, The experience f becming an expert can bring lng-term benefits fr learning—and it's never t late. “Having a specialist subject helps yu learn anything,” says ur memry expert, Jnathan Hancck, “There are gd reasns fr all f us t d a spt f specialist learning.”
It schls ur bservatin: a vital first step t remembering. Children are particularly gd at seeing slight differences—like my yunger sn and his cars—then using them t rganize infrmatin and inspire recall. But fcused learning like this can push anyne t start nticing key details—ready t remember them.
It gives us a mental framewrk(框架), t which we can attach unrelated ideas. Even when his trading-card perid was ver, my sn ften linked new numbers with stred-away sprts statistics. Yur wn area f interest might help yu by suggesting sundalike wrds fr peple's names, r letting yu “map” travel directins.页号
It gets us learning/in a variety f ways, ften with the help f all ur senses. My daughter's pp knwledge was a rich mix f music, dances and clurful cstumes, with precise facts. Burying yurself in a subject bsts yur brain t wrk at its best.
It restres ur cnfidence t remember. We get t see what a difference it makes t be interested in smething, t build up infrmatin in layers (层次), and t keep refreshing, testing and shwing ff what we knw. It can give all ur learning a bst.
Why nt pick a tpic that interests yu, find sme bks, take a curse, jin a club enjy becming at least an entry-level expert? Even a shrt spell f specialist study can reawaken learning skills that used t feel like child's play.
32. What d the authr's children have in cmmn?
A. Having a variety f hbbies. B. Dreaming f being a tp-class expert.
C. Learning schl subjects well. D Shwing exceptinal talent in their areas.
33. Which prbably belngs t a mental framewrk?
A. Recgnizing a pair f twins. B. Lecturing at an pening ceremny.
C. Learning English by watching a film. D. Planning a tur rute in a strange city.
34. What is the purpse f the last paragraph?
