        Latent learning
  Latent learning is a psychological phenomenon referring to a form if learning in which knowledge is received without immediate awareness. Namely,it is when people learn something in their daily life,but the knowledge is not immediately expressed and may not be available to the conscious mind until specific experiences force this knowledge to be demonstrated.For instance,a child may observe a parent setting the table or tightening a screw,but does not act on this learning for a year.Then suddenly,he finds he knows how to do these things.
  这段文章主要就是介绍了Latent learning,大意就是文章的第一句话:
  Latent learning is a psychological phenomenon referring to a form if learning in which knowledge is received without immediate awareness.
  我们是否可以照搬这句话呢?个人认为这么做很不讨巧。这么做只会让考官认为你没有创造性,很可能会影响你的分数。因此,在概括时最好做一下同义词替换或者变换一下句子结构。这是在概括文章过程中百试不爽的概括方法。经过加工之后我们可以把这句话概括为:
  Latent learning is a psychological phenomenon which means that people acquire knowledge or skills unconsciously.
  这句话很简单,但信息量还是蛮大的,它包括学术术语的名称、学术领域以及术语的名词解释。如果我们在看文章的时候万一没有关注到这些信息,是不是就没办法了呢?其实不然,幸运的话你还有一道双重保险,即教授讲课的开场白。开场白里通常情况下包含我们所需要的这些信息,因此认真听好老师的开场白也是可以的,只是这样会增加听力的难度。
  概括文章除了刚才提到的同义替换和变换句子结构,还有一个重要的方法就是用上义词概括下义词。
