                                                    A
    Recently I had a conversation in Beijing with an adult Chinese friend who was complaining
how difficult it was to study English..No surprises there. It is a difficult language to master, just
like Chinese. I made a few suggestions based on my～experience. One involved a very valuable
fact which I learned from my high school Latin and Greek teacher, Dr. Smith．He is a gifted linguist （语言学家），and has an amazing ability to memorize things, like poetry, essays, speeches, etc．His advice to us students is that for memorization purposes, there is forty minutes each day in which our memory is more receptive than it is during the other 23 hours and 20 minutes.
    This 40-minute "super memory" period is divided into two parts: the 20 minutes before we
sleep, hnd the 20 minutes after we first awake. The theory supporting this is pretty simple. First,
the last information we input into our brain before bed has a better chance of taking root than
information obtained during the noisy daytime; and，second, our mind is free of disturbance when
we first awake in the morning一so more receptive to inputs, like a blank slate（石板）．
    I took the advice to heart and it served me well in my school years．In my university days,
our Chinese teacher would assign us 200 new vocabulary words each day, on which we would be
quizzed the following day. Without the "magic" 40-minute technique, there's no way I would have
passed those daily quizzes.
    As far as language study goes, it's not only useful for memorizing vocabulary. It's also a very
useful window of time to listen to the language we're studying even with background noise, and
even if it's at a level we find difficult to understand. It might be audio（声音的）language study
aids, or just radio, TV or whatever.
    Beyond our years of formal education, memory skills are hugely important in any career.
How many times have we heard a speaker read their speech from. a prepared text, or read the
word-by-word content of a PowerPoint presentation as they present each slide? These are
annoying, boring, and ineffective ways of communicating. They are almost guaranteed to lose the
audience's close attention and interest, let alone persuade or inspire anyone to do anything. And
yet lots of people still make this mistake.
    If we use the 40-minute technique, we may not succeed in memorizing our presentation
content on a 100% word-by-word basis, but we'll be familiar enough so that we can spend much
more time making eye contact with our audience. We will engage them in the process, while
