Drawing might help you think

When you're sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins of your notebooks?

If so, your teacher might have told you 【1】(stop). Many people think of doodling(涂鸦) as a distraction(精神涣散) from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.

One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear. In 2009 researchers asked two groups of people to listen to a phone message. One group 【2】 (encourage) to doodle, but the other was not. Neither group knew that it would be asked to remember information from the message. But the group that doodled remembered 29 percent more.

Other people 【3】 (suggest)other uses for drawing. Jesse Prinz, a professor who studies doodling, says it can help you think creatively. Walking away from a problem to draw

might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you 【4】 (have)a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly.

Two years ago, an author named Sunni Brown 【5】 (write)a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. She admits that people see doodling

as doing nothing, but she wants to change that. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies

improve organization and planning through doodling. Brown 【6】 (believe)doodling is helpful because it incorporates(整合)many ways of learning. You lean in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the better you learn.

And when you doodle while you 【7】 (listen )to a lecture, you use all four.

You might think that being good at 【8】 ( draw)is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling is to help you think, then it doesn't matter what the picture looks like. Even if you're not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away!

【解析】本文介绍了涂鸦的作用。有人认为涂鸦会使人精神涣散，但另一部分人认为涂鸦会使人有创造性。教授Jesse Prinz在实验中证明了涂鸦的作用。Sunni Brown也写了一本关于涂鸦的书。在书中也介绍了涂鸦的益处。

【1】句意：如果是这样，你的老师可能会叫你停下来。tell sb. to do sth. 告诉某人去做某事。故答案为to stop。

【2】句意：一组被鼓励涂鸦，而另一组则不允许涂鸦。因为这个实验是在2009年做的，因此用过去时，根据句意可知One group做主语时，谓语用被动。因此本题为过去时的被动句。结构为was/were +动词的过去分词。又因为主语One group为单数，故答案为was encouraged。

【3】句意：其他人也建议了涂鸦的其他用途。根据下文的句子研究涂鸦的教授Jesse Prinz说它可以帮助你创造性地思考。这说明了涂鸦的别的好处，是已经发生的事情。因此本题用现在完成时。结构为has/have+动词的过去分词。因为主语Other people为复数。故答案为have suggested。

【4】句意：当你回来的时候，你会有一个全新的视角，更快地找到答案。因为When you come back,是一般现在时，那么主句用一般将来时。故答案为will have。

【5】句意：两年前，一位名叫Sunni Brown的作家写了一本关于涂鸦的书。因为是两年前写的书，所以时态用过去时。故答案为wrote。

【6】句意：布朗认为涂鸦很有帮助，因为它包含了多种学习方式。由从句的谓语is可知，主句为一般现在时。Brown做主语，谓语用第三人称单数形式。因此答案为believes。

【7】句意：当你边听讲座边涂鸦时，这四个动作你会同时用到。我们知道由while引导的句子用现在进行时。其构成为am / is / are + doing，主语是you，故答案为are listening。

【8】句意：你可能认为擅长画画对涂鸦很重要。因为be good at为介词短语，所以后面用动名词。因此答案为drawing。
