2021年河南中考英语阅读理解D篇

A mind map is basically a tool that connects information around a central subject. It can help you make a knowledge bank to solve problems. A student recently said, “I thought mind mapping would take a lot of time to do but in fact it saves me time.　36　”

How to make a mind map? Now follow these steps for making wonderful mind maps.

　37　 Why? Because starting in the center lets your brain spread out in all directions and express itself more freely and naturally.

Use a picture for your central idea. Why? Because a picture is worth a thousand words and helps you use your imagination. 　38　 It helps get your attention and makes you work more excitedly!

Connect your main branches(分支) to the central picture and connect your second- and third-level branches to the first and second levels, etc. Why? Because your brain works by connection. 　39　 If you connect the branches, you will understand and remember a lot more easily.

Use one key word every line. Why? Because every single key word can make you learn more clearly and easily.

　40　 Why? Because each picture, just like the central picture, is also worth a thousand words. So, if you have 10 pictures in your mind map, they are already worth 10,000 words of notes.

Try to use more colors. Why? Because colors are as exciting to your brain as pictures. Color adds great energy to your creative thinking, and is fun!
