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. [br] Which of the following is the explanation of "depth of processing" in paragraph 5?
选项 A、Rearrange the materials on the notes, and keep them in your brain.
B、Revise the materials on the notes, and memorize them.
C、Repeat the materials on the notes and try to memorize them.
D、Review the materials on the notes in order to retain and memorize them.
答案 A
解析 根据depth of processing可以将该题定位至文章第五段，第五段指出要将信息结构化，而不是尝试去记忆。“光看笔记是学不好的，归纳总结才是硬道理。这种被称为‘深加工’的方法能确保你牢牢记住这些材料。”因此“深加工”是指A选项的内容，同时要明确rearrange是reorganize的同义替换。
