27、tle long-termeffect.But one kind of repetition is effective: repetition of encounters with a word.Words stand a good chance of being remembered if theyve been met at least seventimes in your reading, at intervals (相隔一段时间).

34、in her head, and she becomes overwhelmed. She bites her lip thinking and thinking. Then she hears a song on the radio.

35、ooks again at the troublesome question and sighs, “I remember how to do this now,” she says to herself. Then she finishes the problem, but this time calmer than before.6According to NPR news, 45% of teens say they are stressed by schoolpressures, such as homework and grades. High school, and all of
36、the honors and APcourses, can stress out teens like Clara to the point of exhaustion, but it doesnthave to be this way.

37、sustainingadrenal hormone (肾上腺荷尔蒙) nicknamed “the stress hormone”.

41、ssurance (保证) that they can make itthrough their schoolwork. That being said, all schools should have a required hourof relaxation time when high schoolers would listen to music, do easy homework,and calm themselves down after their long school day.Music helps kids in their education, providing them
