问题     Educating Psyche by Bernie Neville is a book which looks at radical new approaches to learning, describing the effects of emotion, imagination and the unconscious on learning. One of the theory discussed in the book is that proposed by George Lozanov, which focuses on the power of suggestion.
    Lozanov’s instructional technique is based on the evidence that the connections made in the brain through unconscious processing(which he calls non-specific mental reactivity)are more durable than those made through conscious processing. Besides the laboratory evidence for this, we know from our experience that we often remember what we have perceived peripherally, long after we have forgotten what we set out to learn. If we think of a book we studied months or years ago, we will find it easier to recall peripheral details—the colour, the binding, the typeface, the table at the library where we sat while studying it—than the content on which were concentrating. If we think of a lecture we listened to with great concentration, we will recall the lecturer’s appearance and mannerisms, our place in the auditorium, the failure of the air-conditioning, much more easily than the ideas we went to learn. Even if these peripheral details are a bit elusive, they come back readily in hypnosis or when we relive the event imaginatively, such as in psychodrama. The details of the content of the lecture, on the other hand, seem to have gone forever.
    The suggestopedic approach to foreign language learning provides a good illustration. In its most recent variant(1980), it consists of the reading of vocabulary and text while the class is listening to music. The first session is in two parts. In the first part, the music is classical(Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms)and the teacher reads the text slowly and solemnly, with attention to the dynamics of the music. The students follow the text in their books. The teacher’ s task is to assist the students to apply what they have learned paraconsciously, and in doing so to make it easily accessible to consciousness.
    While suggestopedia has gained some notoriety through success in the teaching of modern languages, few teachers are able to emulate the spectacular results of Lozanov and his associates. We can, perhaps, attribute mediocre results to inadequate placebo effect. The students have not developed the appropriate mind set. They are often not motivated to learn through this method. They do not have enough ’ faith’. They do not see it as ’real teaching’, especially as it does not seem to involve the ’work’ they have learned to believe that it is essential to learning.
Lozanov’ s theory suggests that, we are more likely to remember______.
选项 A、the purpose of our learning
B、the topic of one lecture
C、the content of a book
D、those unimportant details
答案D
解析 细节题。根据人名定位于第二段。文中提到 “If we think of a book westudied months or years ago，we will find it easier to recall peripheral details—thecolour，the binding，the typeface，the table at the library…”意为，如果我们回想前几个月或者前几年学过的课本，会发现我们很容易想起一些无关紧要的细节，如颜色、装订、字体或者阅读此书时在图书馆坐过的桌子。由此可推断，这些都是不重要的细节，即证实了本段第一句论点，大脑容易记住无意识状态下所作出的各种联系。选项A、B、C均为重要内容。
