Should Teach Philosophy Really Works Wonders Creative Way to Better Teaching Great Improvement in Academics C Recently, I have experienced too much politeness which has made me a bit scared. The reason why I say “too much” is that I am never used to being greeted at the door of a store and led to the right area to find what I need. As in more familiar times, one would walk into a department store without being noticed, go up to a shop assistant, and find him or her chatting on a phone. You would wait for a minute or so to ask a question to the person, usually a woman. And she, finally deciding to notice you, would turn around to you and say “Yes?” impatiently and you would ask if her department has a very wellknown brand and she would point and say “If we do, they’re supposed to be over there.” and turn back to her phone. That type of behavior still exists in many stores. But I have noticed another type of assistant from now on. Here is an example about a “scary” bank clerk. One day, I was on the phone to an incredibly polite bank clerk who could not help me with an online request. He was so upset that he couldn’t do so that I felt him nearly break down. With sadness in his voice, he said I had to go to a nearby bank in person to do my business because they needed me to give them my Social Security number face to face. I said, “not a chance” and hung up, but then I began to worry if I had made him kill himself. I think his name was Gary. Gray, if you’re out there, think of your mom and you little sisters and don’t do anything crazy.

It’s not unusualgreat pianists like PolishAmerican Arthur Rubinstein sometimes used to practice in their minds. For more than 100 years, scientists have been trying to understand how this mental training works. In the 1930s, researchers showed that when you’re imagining an action, your brain sends signals to your muscles that are too weak to make the muscles move but might help train the body to perform. Practicing in your head might also create an inner howto guide for a special skill in your mind. Sports psychologist（心理學(xué)家） have carried out hundreds of studies paring imagined and reallife practice for actions such as juggling and tap dancing, according to the Popular Science website. Overall, the research shows that mental training works. A 2021 study, for example, pared 32 amateur golfers who tried to hit golf balls into holes to another 32 who just held a golf club in their hands and thought about their swings. Under the same training, both groups ended up doing better and getting the ball about four inches（ 10cm） closer to the hole. Visualization has advantages over the real thing: you can do it anywhere, even when injured. It’s safea big advantage for people who work in jobs in which there are big problems when things go wrong, such as gymnasts and surgeons（外科醫(yī)生） . And you can practice for longer periods of time in your head because your body can’t get tired. That doesn’t mean it’s easy, however. “We’ve had Olympiclevel athletes sitting in our lab, visualizing for two hours,” says Tadhg MacIntyre, a sports psychologist at the University of Limerick in Ireland. “When we’re done, they’re incredibly tired.” It doesn’t work for everyone, though. “If you’re not experienced in the activity, it can make things worse,” warns MacIntyre. “If you’re trying to visualize a free throw, and you don’t even know the proper way to hold the ball and move, then you’re probably going to practice the wrong skill in your head, and you won’t get better.” to the text, mental training . be as effective as physical training good for building up muscles benefit beginners as well as masters suitable for all kinds of skills underlined word “visualization” in Paragraph 4 probably means . a physical action training for muscles something in your mind practicing an action of the advantages visualization has over the real thing is . can prevent things from going wrong can be done wherever you are saves you time and energy is simple and relaxing text is mainly written to . readers suggestions on how to improve their sports skills a variety o
