Have you grasped the information taught by your teacher in class Have you understood what you saw on the screen Maybe everyone has their own learning style.
Generally speaking, we gather information with our minds and bodies in different ways, such as seeing, hearing and doing. Then our brains deals with that information, organizing it and connecting it to things we are already aware of. In other words, our brains will deal with the information in different ways. Sometimes we think in pictures or words. Sometimes we remember details or the big pictures.
For different people, their learning styles are different too. One person may find it hard to make out the information in written forms but easy to know it immediately in an oral description. However, another person might find difficulties with the picture but the written message. .
Now scientists say there exist seven basic learning styles.
●Linguistic: These people learn through listening, reading, speaking and writing.
●Logical: These people learn with formula (公式) and principles (原理).
●Visual: These people learn by seeing what they are studying.
●Musical: These people learn well when information is presented through music.
●Kinesthetic: These people learn from movement and physical activities.
●Intrapersonal: These people learn best by linking new information directly with their own experiences.
●Interpersonal: These people learn well by working with others.
Therefore, if you know what learning style is your strength, you can balance your weakness, and get a more successful learning experience.

People have been enjoying the benefits of cycling (骑自行车)in Amsterdam for years. It is a good city for cycling because it is flat and there are plenty of places for bicycle parking. Today some people call Amsterdam the“ City of Bicycles”because of the convenience for bicycles there.
In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans had an idea. They believed that it would be better for everybody if cars weren’t allowed in the city centre and only bicycles were. They were hopeful that this would help to save energy, reduce pollution and provide free public transport. The group painted hundreds of bicycles white and placed them in lots of neighbourhoods around Amsterdam for people to use. Then a problem came- thieves took all the bicycles within weeks!
However, more than thirty years later, the“ white bike”is back in town- this time with a computer chip (芯片)to record its every move! To take a bicycle, you have to insert (插入)a special card. The new “white bike”is not actually white but is an unusual design with bright colours. The bikes are parked at special parking places and people who want to use them have to take them to another special parking place that has enough room.
There is already less traffic in central Amsterdam, because both locals and tourists have been using the white bikes. Instead, thanks to the good ideas of lots of people, like the cycling fans in the 1960s, many people around the world have been enjoying city centre streets without cars many years.
33. Amsterdam is called the“ City of Bicycles”because of____
A. the cycling fans there B. the appearance of bicycles
C. the quality of bicycles D. the convenience for bicycles
34. In the 1960s, some cycling fans hoped bikes could

C. be placed anywhere D. be painted in different colours
35. What do people use if they want to take a “white bike”in the city
