问题    How do you get the most out of your revision time, and end up with the best grades you can? Or, if you’re a different sort of student, how can you get the same grades you’re getting now, but spend less time revising? Decades of research carried out by psychologists about learning and memory has produced some clear advice on doing just that.
   First, space your practice. Our analysis showed that people who leave longer gaps between practice attempts go on to score higher. In fact, the longer the gaps, the higher the scores. If you want to study effectively, you should spread out your revision rather than cramming. This is easier said than done, but if you are organized enough, you can spend less time revising and remember more.
   Second, make sure you fail occasionally. A new result from our analysis shows that people who are most inconsistent when they first start have better scores later on. Our theory is that these people are exploring how the game works, rather than trying to get the very highest score they can every time. Players even finish the game with a score that tells them how good they are. Invest some time in trying things out, which may mean failing occasionally, if you want to maximize learning in the long run.
   Third, practice the thing you’ll be tested on. Writing exam answers is a skill, just like playing an online game is a skill. You wouldn’t try and improve at a game by trying to memorize moves, you’d practice making them.
   Fourth, structure information, don’t try to remember it. Just looking at your notes won’t help you learn them. Instead, you need to reorganize the information in some way. This approach, called "depth of processing", is the way to ensure material gets lodged in your memory.
   Fifth, rest and sleep. Even napping can help consolidate your memories, and maybe even make you more creative. This is great news for those people who like to nap during the day, and is a signal that staying up all night to revise probably isn’t a good idea.
   No matter what method you use, you need to know how to learn better.
What does the sentence "the longer the gaps, the higher the scores" in the second paragraph mean?

选项 A、More practicing goes on to score higher.
B、Cramming helps you have a higher score.
C、Spreading out your revision make you have good score.
D、Good organizing results in higher score.

答案C

解析 该题应定位至文章第二段:我们的分析表明,练习之间间隔较长的人,更有可能得高分。实际上,间隔时间越长,分数会越高。如果想要有效地学习,你应该分散你的复习时间而不是临时抱佛脚。这说起来容易做起来难,但如果安排合理,你的学习会达到事半功倍的效果。所以答案为C项。
