Psychologists refer to this psychological phenomenon as the Zeigarnik effect. The effect was fir
19、st observed by a Russian psychologist named Bluma Zeigarnik. While sitting in a busy restaurant in Vienna, she noted the waiters had better memories of unpaid orders. Once the bill was paid, however, the waiters had difficulty remembering the exact details of the orders. In one of her studies, parti
20、cipants were asked to complete simple tasks such as putting together puzzles, or solving math problems. Half of the participants were interrupted halfway through these tasks. After an hour-long delay, Zeigarnik asked the participants to give an account of what theyd been working on. She discovered t
21、hat those who had their work interrupted were twice as likely to remember what they had been doing as those who had actually completed the tasks. We can use this effect to our advantage. For example, if youre struggling to memorize something important, momentary interruptions might actually work to
22、your advantage. Rather than simply remember the information over and over again, review it several times and then take a break. While youre focusing on other things, youll find yourself mentally returning to the information you were studying. We often put off tasks until the last moment, only comple
23、ting them in a rush at the last possible moment. Unfortunately, this tendency can lead to heavy stress and even poor performance. One way to overcome this is to put the Zeigarnik effect to work. Start by taking the first step, no matter how small. Once youve begun，but not finished your work, youll f
24、ind yourself thinking of the task until, at last, you finish it. You might not finish it all at once, but each small step you take puts you closer to your final goal. 24. What does the Zeigarnik effect refer to ?A. Waiters tend to have good memories. B. Once interrupted, one will forget things easil
25、y.C. Most people cant focus on one thing for a long time. D. People remember unfinished tasks better than completed ones. 25. What were all the participants required to do in the study?A. Describe their tasks. B. Express their feelings.C. Test their intelligence.D. Design simple activities.26. How s
26、hould we study according to the Zeigarnik effect?A. Repeat over and over again. B. Divide up our study session.C. Focus on several tasks at a time. D. Have enough rest before studying.27. Whats the main idea of the last paragraph?A. How to get rid of heavy stress. B. Why we should set a final goal.

The researchers found that people who wake up to musical alarms reported feeling more awake and alert. Stuart McFa
38、rlane, a lead writer of the study stated, We are very surprised by these findings as one might expect a harsh beeping sound to be more successful at waking up a person.”Sleep inertia is another term for grogginess. It means a person has a heavy feeling when waking up, and has trouble getting moving
39、again after sleeping. McFarlane said people need to better understand sleep inertias harmful effects on human performance later in the day.Not everyone will experience the full effect. But for those who do, care should be taken when performing duties that require a top performance within this period
40、, he said. This includes dangerous tasks like driving or riding our bikes shortly after waking up. The same is true for people who work in dangerous situations shortly after they wake, including firefighters and pilots.So, what makes musical alarms better for waking up? The researchers think the mus
41、ic may be more successful in reducing sleep inertia because it has several tones, compared to the single tone of a beeping alarm. McFarlane said that the changes over time between the music tones may help increase a persons attention when waking from sleep.And is there a kind of music that is best t
