Features: What are the factors affecting learning performance? There are many, but the core is thinking. Perhaps people don't think this way; they often say, "Interest is the best teacher." That's true. But let's ask, how does interest arise? Short-term interest can come from encouragement and utilitarian needs, while long-term interest comes from the subject itself, from the charm of the discipline. So, why can the charm of a discipline attract some people but not others? This is the role of thinking. Only with good thinking qualities can one appreciate the beauty and power of the discipline, penetrate its essence and profound meanings, truly immerse oneself in it, and grasp its truth without misunderstanding, allowing both useful and useless things to fill the mind. To unlock the potential of thought and awaken the wisdom of learning, we need to undergo a "Thinking Revolution" to improve our learning. For years, we have witnessed many students who study diligently, burn the midnight oil, yet fail to achieve ideal results. Why is there no reward for hard work? People have been asking and contemplating this question. Now, we have finally found the correct answer: some teaching methods lack an understanding of thinking, do not grasp its role, and even don't know how to influence it, causing thinking to drift outside of learning activities. Represented by experts and scholars such as Tian Hualan, Shen Wenda, Hu Mingdao, Cai Mingsheng, and Xu Qifu, though they specialize in different fields, they share a common belief: to bring thinking back to the center of learning activities and integrate it into every aspect of the learning process, thereby truly improving students' learning efficiency. As renowned educators, they have designed teaching methods, pioneered teaching arts, and led by example, guiding countless students into Tsinghua and Peking University, helping millions of students surpass themselves. With their substantial teaching achievements and significant academic influence, they have gathered together many distinguished teachers, state-level subsidy experts, winners of national high-quality lesson competitions, and tutors of top-scoring students and medalists, supplemented by their lifelong experience, to create this book—The Thinking Revolution. The Thinking Revolution consists of three series: Synchronous Textbook Guidance (with English subjects in English-Chinese and detailed explanations), Synchronous Testing and Evaluation, and Mid (High) School Comprehensive Review. The purpose of Synchronous Textbook Guidance is to help students effectively acquire basic knowledge, skills, and methods from relevant courses, resolving doubts and confusion in learning. This series is divided into basic units, synchronized with the curriculum, and each unit is categorized based on content into: Target Highlights, Pre-Class Preparation, Detailed Solutions to Typical Examples, and Learning Ability Tests. Here, there are clear goals with achievement tests; not only learning materials are provided, but the process is aligned with learning progress; not only key knowledge points are explained, but learning methods are emphasized; not only is the content of teaching addressed, but the focus of exams is considered. In this series, an effort is made to create a scenario where your learning process becomes a journey alongside renowned educators. Synchronous Testing and Evaluation is a natural extension of Synchronous Textbook Guidance, meeting the needs of students for post-class exercises and self-assessment during mid-term and final exams. The comments here include not only principles and methods but also techniques and experience; they not only help you enhance your overall understanding of knowledge but also remind you of the details that determine success or failure. By reading these comments, our horizons can be further broadened. The Comprehensive Review series is designed for the needs of entrance exams. All mid-term subjects are in one volume (except English, which is in two volumes), while high school exams are divided into Round 1 and Round 2. The comprehensive review focuses on showcasing the goals, trends, and directions of mid (high) school exams, giving you a clear understanding and encouraging active exploration. Especially when helping you master exam content, it also emphasizes the infusion of exam experience, achieving a well-rounded development of exam content, strategies, and psychology. Perhaps people might ask, don't the three series and their respective components align perfectly with our basic learning process? Yes, this is precisely the principle we adhere to, reflecting the fundamental direction of curriculum reform. If not, how could it be called a "Thinking Revolution"? The issue lies here: learning is originally a natural process, stemming from human curiosity and part of human nature, yet it has been distorted by external pressures, unrealistic short-term actions, and piles of exam preparation materials, obscuring the basic facts. Just as Marx's simple yet profound, ordinary yet great discovery: the basic fact that people must first eat, drink, live, and wear is obscured by complex ideologies. Therefore, we must return to our roots and restore learning to its true nature. This is the "Thinking Revolution"!
