Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions from 36. to 42

Learning does not just mean studying from a textbook and copying it down come test time — it
refers to drawing meaning from your work and seeing how it’s important and connected to a broader
concept or idea.

Though for many students “learning” may consist of memorizing formulas, dates, and facts, they
often miss the bigger picture. If you spend all of your efforts on memorizing and none of your efforts
on understanding what you are actually doing, by the time the next test rolls around, the information
stored in your short term memory may be completely forgotten.

As an example, take two students, Julie and Brian. Both students are in high school, getting ready
for an upcoming mathematics test. Julie memorizes the way that you solve each problem, all of the
formulas, and knows exactly what steps she needs to do to solve any of the example questions. Brian
also memorizes the formulas but concentrates on the why — and understands why the examples are
done the way that they are, comprehending the methods and connecting any relevant prior knowledge 
to each question at hand. Both might ace the test, but come exam time, Julie will have to memorize the

concepts all over again — and one slight twist in the question may throw her off. Brian, however, 
understanding the concepts behind his steps, will be much better off come any challenging question,
and practicing questions will come more naturally to him.

That being said, not all students must be categorized into being a Julie or a Brian — instead, they
may fit in between the two. The important take-away is understanding how important asking “why?”
really is. In the midst of stress or a heavy workload, this question is often forgotten — yet it is the key
to lifelong learning. Practicing the art of asking “why” not only enriches one’s curiosity, but it feeds
your desire to learn beyond the textbook.

(Adapted from 
36. Which is the most suitable title for the passage?

A. How to Prepare for the Next Tests?
B. Julie and Brian’s Ways to Learn
C. When Can You Ace the Tests.
