passage 1
It doesn‘t come as a surprise to you to realize that it makes no difference what you read or study if you can‘t remember it. You just waste your valuable time. Maybe you have already discovered some clever ways to keep yourself from forgetting.
One dependable aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading. You remember better what you read when you know why you‘re reading.
Why does a clerk in a store go away and leave you when your reply to her offer to help is. "No, thank you. I‘m just looking"? Both you and she know that if you aren‘t sure what you want, you are not likely to find it. But suppose you say in stead. "Yes, thank you. I want a pair of sun glasses." She says, "Right this way, please." And you and she are off-both eager to look for exactly what you want.
It‘s quite the same with your studying. If you chose a book at random, "just looking" for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that-nothing. But if you do know what you want, and if you have the right book, you are almost sure to get it. Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying "to find out how". A good student has a clear purpose or reason for what he is doing.
