“No pains, no gains.” gives the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study. It seems that the only way to know if we’re putting in enough work is how much hardship we bear. We are totally taken up with study, shutting ourselves away for a big exam. Is that necessarily true?
When we haven’t taken the time to come up with another idea, we just shut ourselves in a room with a book. It’s no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch off. Shutting ourselves away can make us learn to hate studying, leading to a situation where instead of being able to concentrate on our work, we are troubled by how unfair it is that we must study. This can be part of a vicious cycle(恶性循环) that traps us into ineffective revision, your poor progress fueling further annoyance.
Thankfully, working in the company of other people really helps fight against that. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions. It’s not necessary to avoid all company, just idle(懒散的)company. People, who are bored and looking to be distracted, are terrible to work around. They constantly try to keep others in conversation. While studying in the same room with someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible. Of course, it’s also a good idea to avoid the company of people involved in activities where you would rather be playing than study. Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is most likely to end with a new high score in games rather than productive revision.
If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you. Besides, we should know friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation(孤立). And connecting with other people makes us happy, so it’s important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize.
32. The author’s purpose in writing the text is to ___________.
A. introduce an effective studying means
B. encourage us to work as hard as possible
C. remind us to balance activities and study
D. discuss the importance of family company
33. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
  A. Revision is interesting and easy with study techniques for certain.
  B. Shutting ourselves away can help concentrate on work.
  C. A favorable interest might lead to effective revision.
  D. Good ideas are needed in terms of progress.
34. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 implies that ___________.
A. playing video games is helpful for an effective study
B. one shouldn’t study with the company of a video player
C. one should study from certain activities that one is interested in
D. the more time one spends in playing games, the higher test scores one will get
35. If you are studying in a noisy environment, you’d better ___________. 
A. think twice before taking any action
B. give up others’ company at once
C. give indication of not wanting to be interrupted
D. force yourself to be accustomed to the environment
