• 1．Note—taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork.It can make you confident when you are studying.But unluckily，most students don't know how to take notes.
     ★Write down key facts.If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard，that's great.You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class.Different teachers do things differently.For example，some teachers may focus on（關(guān)注）lots of dates and facts in class，but they only write the important ones on the blackboard.Other teachers may not write anything down，but they may say something important again and again.
     ★Ask.Don't be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you miss.If your teacher speaks too fast and you can't follow what he is saying，you can ask him after class.
     ★Compare.Comparing your notes with your classmates' can be good for your learning.It can also help you and your classmates correct（糾正） some mistakes.
     ★Organize.Note—taking also needs organization.Keep notes for each subject in one notebook，so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.

• 3．A new brain research shows that choosing handwriting instead of using a keyboard results in better learning and memory.
     "When you write your shopping list or class notes by hand，you simply remember what you wrote better later，" said Audrey who did the study.12 young grown-ups and12 children took part in the study.This is the first time that children have taken part in such a study.And each of them was asked to write by hand and use a keyboard with a special cap.Each examination took 45 minutes for each person.
     The results showed that the brain in both young grown—ups and children is much more active when writing by hand than when using a keyboard.According to Audrey，plenty of senses（感覺） become active by holding a pen and pushing it down on paper，seeing the letters written and hearing the sound made while writing.These build the connection between different parts of the brain，opening the brain up for learning."Learning to write by hand is a bit slower course，but it's important for children to write by hand.Students who write longer texts earlier are more motivated to write，" Audrey said.
     "If you use a keyboard，you use the same movement for each letter.Writing by hand requires control of your fine motor（精細動作） skills，"Audrey said.

• 16．If you've ever walked through fog（霧），you might have noticed that your skin and hair get wet.This is because fog is made of tiny water drops.Scientists are helping people collect these drops to make drinking water.
     In some towns，there is no fresh water.People there have to use trucks to carry fresh water.It is expensive.
     Since rain falls to the ground，it can easily be collected into tanks（水箱）.But the water drops that make up fog don't hit the ground.Instead，they float（漂浮） in the air.To turn fog into water，you have to catch the water drops.
     A fog catcher is made of nets with two posts.The nets are usually set up on a hilltop.As fog passes by，the nets catch the water drops.The drops run down the nets and into channels（通道）.The channels lead the water into large tanks where it can be stored.A fog catcher can collect 10，000 liters of water a day，Scientists have helped set up fog catchers for towns in Chile，Nepal and Mexico.
     Fog catchers are a great way for people in small and lonely towns to have their own fresh water. Centuries before scientists created fog—catching nets，nature was making fog into water on its own.As fog passed through the mountains，large leaves got the drops just like the nets do.People learned to drink the water collected on the leaves.Thanks to modern fog catchers，enough water can be made for a whole town!
  （1）Why do our skin and hair get wet when we walk through fog？ （No more than 8 words）
  

  
  （2）What is a fog catcher made of？ （No more than 7 words）
