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.
Why does the author compare writing exam answers to playing games in the fourth paragraph?
选项 A、Because like playing games, you need to improve by excising.
B、Because like playing games, you can also fail in the exam.
C、Because like playing games, you need try to memorize moves.
D、Because like playing games, you can finish the game with a score that tells you how good you are.
答案A
解析 从题干可以将该题定位至文章第四段，第四段指出，如同玩网络游戏，考试也是一种技能。仅靠死记技术动作不能提高游戏水平，不断练习才能创造佳绩。侧重点是强调需要去练习。因此A选项符合文意。
