Learning does not just mean studying from a textbook and copying it down come test time - it refers to drawing meaning from your work and seeing how it’s important and connected to a broader concept or idea. Though for many students “learning” may consist of memorizing formulas, dates, and facts, they often miss the bigger picture. If you spend all of your efforts on memorizing and none of your efforts on understanding what you are actually doing, by the time the next test rolls around, the information stored in your short term memory may be completely forgotten. As an example, take two students, Julie and Brian. Both students are in high school, getting ready for an upcoming mathematics test. Julie memorizes the way that you solve each problem, all of the formulas, and knows exactly what steps she needs to do to solve any of the example questions. Brian also memorizes the formulas but concentrates on the why - and understands why the examples are done the way that they are, comprehending the methods and connecting any relevant prior knowledge to each question at hand. Both might ace the test, but come exam time, Julie will have to memorize the concepts all over again - and one slight twist in the question may throw her off. Brian, however, understanding the concepts behind his steps, will be much better off come any challenging question, and practicing questions will come more naturally to him. That being said, not all students must be categorized into being a Julie or a Brian - instead, they may fit in between the two. The important take-away is understanding how important asking “why?” really is. In the midst of stress or a heavy workload, this question is often forgotten - yet it is the key to lifelong learning. Practicing the art of asking “why” not only enriches one’s curiosity, but it feeds your desire to learn beyond the textbook. (Adapted from 05. Which is the most suitable title for the passage? A.

Stars have been significant features in the design of many United States coins and their number has varied from one to forty-eight stars. Most of the coins issued from about 1799 to the early years of the twentieth century bore thirteen stars representing the thirteen original colonies. Curiously enough, the first American silver coins, issued in 1794, had fifteen stars because by that time Vermont and Kentucky had joined the Union. At that time it was apparently the intention of mint officials to add a star for each new state. Following the admission of Tennessee in 1796, for example, some varieties of half dimes, dimes, and half-dollars were produced with sixteen stars. As more states were admitted to the Union, however, it quickly became apparent that this scheme would not prove practical and the coins from 1798 on were issued with only thirteen stars-one for each of the original colonies. Due to an error at the mint, one variety of the 1828 half cent was issued with only twelve stars. There is also a variety of the large cent with only 12 stars, but this is the result of a die break and is not a true error. 31. What is the main topic of the passage? A. Stars on American coins B.
