[2026 原创] Daniel T. Willingham is a scientist who studies how people learn. In his book, Outsmart Your Brain, he shares an important idea: schools ask students to learn, but they often forget to teach them how to learn effectively.

Willingham says that most students are never taught good study skills. They do not learn how to organize their time, what information is the most important, or what if when they keep putting off their work. We know this is true because many adults remember this from their school days. Often, teachers just tell students to “try harder”. But Willingham explains that just wanting to learn is not enough to be successful. He says that we need the right skills and methods. Simply repeating something over and over is also not a good way to remember it.
His book gives useful advice for the main tasks students do: listening in class, reading books, and taking tests. For example, he teaches students how to take good notes and how to organize their study materials. He also warns that using a laptop in class can be distracting. He suggests students put their laptops in the airplane mode to help them focus.
The author believes schools should teach these skills directly. A special class on how to study could be very helpful, especially for junior high students when schoolwork becomes harder. When students are taught how to learn, they become more successful and confident.

1. C 细节理解题。根据第一段的“... schools ask students to learn, but they often forget to teach them how to learn effectively. ”和第二段的详细阐述可知,威林厄姆指出的核心问题是学校重“教什么”而轻“教怎么学”。故选C项。
2. A 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Often, teachers just tell students to ‘try harder’. But Willingham explains that just wanting to learn is not enough to be successful. ”可知,威林厄姆认为老师常说的“再努力点”这种只关于“想学习”的建议并不足以让人成功。故选A项。
3. C 主旨大意题。第三段首先总述书中给的
知识拓展
努力 vs 策略
( Effort vs Strategy):
威林厄姆的观点触及了教育心理学的一个核心概念:有效的学习不仅仅要投入时间和努力,更重要的是使用正确的策略。仅仅告诉学生努力而没有提供具体方法,可能会让学生陷入“低效勤奋”的困境,即花了大量时间却收效甚微,甚至会打击他们的学习积极性。科学的学习策略,如间隔重复、主动回忆、费曼学习法等,才是将努力转化为成果的关键。
建议,接着举了具体的例子,以及关于在课堂上使用笔记本电脑的建议。因此,该段的主要内容是介绍书中的具体建议实例。故选C项。
4. B 细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句可知,威林厄姆认为笔记本电脑会分散注意力,并提出了解决方法(开启飞行模式),但他并未提出“笔记本电脑不应被允许带入课堂”这种绝对的禁令。故选B项。
5. B 推理判断题。通篇文章都在客观地介绍科学家丹尼尔·T·威林厄姆的观点、其著作的核心内容以及他对教育的建议。作者的角色是一个信息分享者,旨在将一位专家的理念传达给读者。故选B项。
