Text 2 A study published in the International Journal of Business Administration found that what students read in college directly effects the level of writing they achieve.In fact,researchers found that reading content and frequency may exert more significant impacts on students'writing ability than writing instruction and writing frequency.Students who read academic journals,literary fiction,or general nonfiction wrote with greater svntactic SODhistication（more comDlex sentences）than those who read genre fiction（mysteries,fantasy,or science fiction）or exclusively web-based aggregators.The highest scores went to those who read academic journals;the lowest scores went to those who relied sotely on web-based content.Recent research also revealed that"deep reading"-defined as reading that is slow,immersive,rich in sensory detail and emotional and moral complexity-is distinctive from light reading-little more than the decoding of words.Deep reading occurs when the language is rich in detail,allusion,and metaphor,and taps into the same brain regions that would activate if the reader were experiencing the event.Deep reading is great exercise for the brain and has been shown to increase empathy,as the reader dives deeper and adds reflection,analysis,and personal subtext to what is being read.It also offers writers a way to appreciate all the qualities that make novels fascinating and meaningful-and to tap into his abllity to write on a deeper level.Light reading is equated to what one might read in online blogs,or"headline news"or"entertainment news"websites,particularly those that breezily rely on lists or punchy headlines,and even occasionally use emojis to communicate.These types of light reading lack a genuine voice,a viewpoint,or the sort of analyses that might stimulate thought.It's light and breezy reading that you can skim through and will likely forget within minutes.Deep reading activates our brain's centers for speech,vision,and hearing,all of which work together to help us speak,read,and write.Reading and writing engages Broca's area,which enables us to perceive rhythm and syntax;Wernicke's area,which impacts our perception of words and meaning;and the angular gyrus,which is central to perception and use oflanguage.These areas are wired together by a band of fibres,and this interconnectivity likely helps writers mimic and synchronize language and rhythms they encounter while reading.Your reading brain senses a cadence that accompanies more complex writing,which your brain then seeks to emulate when writing.
Which of the following would be the best title of the text?

A.Reading More Will Bring You Higher Score in Writing
B.Deep Reading Will Offer You More Benefits Than Light Reading
C.Deep Reading Will Activate Your Brain and Improve Your Writing
D.What You Read Matters More Than You Might Think

资料：Early Experiences
If you've communicated a positive initial impression and customers decide to explore your product, can they discover the features and functions that help get them up to speed? Does your interface provide clear, streamlined paths free of unnecessary instructions, distracting visual elements, or unneeded features or functionality? Finally, how well does your product help customers get the benefits they want, or even lead them to benefits they were unaware of?
Testing helps determine if customers find the terminology clear and jargon-free; whether the page and content is organized logically from their perspective; if processes-such as registration, checkout or upgrading-are efficient and easy to use; and if it's clear how to cancel a process or navigate to a specific function or location.
Maturity
Over time, discovering shortcuts and advanced functionality will help mature customers do their jobs more quickly. You'll want to test how these options are communicated and ensure that they address the needs of these customers without impacting the experience of other customers.
Unless you test with actual users, your product team won't get a true perspective about what your product is like to use by the people who matter most the users themselves. This may seem obvious, but in many organizations, approximate customers-such as salespeople-are sometimes used to review products. After all, they have a lot of customer contact. But salespeople don't have the same motivations or context as customers. At best, this approach is risky. When you test with real users, usability tests ensure that all product stakeholders get a realistic, honest view of your product's effectiveness.
If you have never watched a customer use your product, you might be in for a surprise. "Obvious" product assumptions may be challenged, or you might find that customers think differently about what value means to them. Whatever you discover, you'll unearth information to develop products that are more likely to be ones that your customers value.

What is the main idea of this excerpt?

A.You need to get rid of all unneeded features or functionality.
B.You need to tailor to the need to mature users.
C.Your own assumptions are relevant.
D.You need actual users to test your products.
