[1]People learn in different ways. Researchers give different names to different learning styles, but they all agree that students who understand their own styles can improve their study skills. The learning styles described below (visual, auditory, and tactile) are just three of the many ways to identify how people learn.

[2]Visual learners have to “see it to believe it”. They often have good imaginations (they can picture things in their minds), and they may also have a good sense of color and artistic ability. These learners may have trouble listening to lectures or instructions if there are no pictures or text to support what they hear. They may also find it hard to focus in a room where people are moving around.

[3]Auditory learners remember information if __________. They prefer to learn by listening and will often ask questions about things they read. Reading tasks can he difficult for these learners, and they can quickly lose their focus if there is too much noise in a room.

[4]Tactile learners can learn and remember what they touch. That's why computers are a big help to these learners; the sense of touch (using the keyboard) helps them remember information. Tactile learners prefer to do “hands-on” activities such as role plays, science experiments, or project that involve buildings. They learn better when they do some sort of physical activity. Tactile learners need to take frequent breaks when they study because they don’t like sitting for long periods of time.

[5]One thing is true for all learners, whether visual, auditory, or tactile: in the world of education, one of the most important subjects is learning how to learn.

　　The world's greatest basketball player walked away from the game eighteen months ago. And now he takes to air once again.

　　Mickael Jordan was the greatest player in the basketball game, and after he retired at the top of his game he vowed, “I'm never coming back to play basketball. Not in this lifetime. Never. Unless I change my mind. ” Sometimes in February this year, Jordan did change his mind.

　　For the league, the timing couldn't be better. Without Jordan, ratings for the last season's playoff finals dropped 31 per cent. This season, things have only gotten worse. Despite the coming out of nice new stars like Shaquille O' Neal and Detroit's Grant Hill. The game's image has been riddled (full of something bad) with the cries of spoil sports and dissatisfaction.

　　For the Bulls, the question is whether Jordan is in shape. According to reports, Jordan has in recent months worked out with the same personal trainer he used during his basketball career. And even in his retirement, he occasionally dropped by practice to train with the team. But that still doesn't mean he's in game shape. In workouts last month, Jordan's shot was off, but team-mate says his intensity was there. The Bulls players all say unhesitatingly they want him back.

　　But to another audience, Jordan's career and comeback mean more than baskets and championships and market share. Now all across America, kids in struggling neighborhoods are his family and especially about his relationship with his father, James Jordan, who was murdered in 1993. Out here, to “be like Mike” can mean a lot more than knowing how to handle a basketball.

To a watching world, Mike and Mary Murray were a perfect couple. They had been high school sweethearts, and    1    to have a happy marriage.

They owned their home and    3    kids, two cars. and a family dog.    4    to Mike, after seven years of marriage, something was terribly wrong. The Murrays had    5    their material goals and Mike    6   , now what? He began to look to his job for fulfillment and often worked 60 hours    7   . Mary poured herself into the children.
