Features: The gathering of top masters and the gathering of stars. It is the sincere hope of this series that every middle school student can listen to the lectures and teachings of China's first-class masters. This series boasts an ultra-luxurious author lineup and a top-tier book brand. The "Mind Revolution" series is the result of the painstaking efforts of hundreds of education experts, a crystallization of their shining wisdom. What are the factors that affect learning performance? There may be many, but the core is thinking. Perhaps people don't think so, they often say: "Interest is the best teacher." This is true. Let's ask further: how is interest generated? Short-term interest can come from encouragement and utilitarian needs, while long-term interest comes from the subject itself, from the charm of the subject. So, why can the charm of a subject attract some people but not others? This is the role of thinking. Only with good thinking qualities can one perceive the beauty and power of the subject, penetrate the essence and profound meaning of the subject, truly immerse oneself in it, and grasp its truth, without misunderstanding and filling one's mind with useful and useless things. To tap into the potential of thought and open the door to learning, it is necessary to undergo a "Mind Revolution" to improve our learning. For many years, we have witnessed many students who study diligently, study late into the night, but fail to achieve ideal results. Why is there no reward for hard work? People have been asking and thinking about this question. Now, we have finally found the correct answer: some teaching methods do not fully recognize the role of thinking, do not understand its importance, and do not know how to influence it, resulting in thinking being detached from learning activities. Represented by experts such as Tian Hualan, Shen Wenda, Hu Mingdao, Cai Mingsheng, and Xu Qifu, although 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 learning, thereby truly improving students' learning efficiency. As master teachers, they design teaching methods, innovate teaching arts, and lead by example, sending countless students to Tsinghua and Peking University, helping millions of students to surpass themselves. With their substantial teaching achievements and significant academic influence, they have gathered together many distinguished teachers, state subsidy experts, winners of national high-quality lesson competitions, as well as tutors for top students and medal winners, supplemented by their lifelong experience, to create this book series—"Mind Revolution."
The "Mind Revolution" series consists of three parts: Synchronous Textbook Guidance (English subject includes English-Chinese comparison and explanation), Synchronous Testing and Evaluation, and Comprehensive Review for Middle (High) School Entrance Exams. 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. The guidance is divided into basic units, synchronized with the curriculum, and each unit is divided according to its content into: Goal 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 are key points explained, but learning methods are emphasized; not only is the content of teaching addressed, but the focus of exams is also considered. In this series, an effort is made to create a scenario where your learning process becomes a journey alongside master teachers.
Synchronous Testing and Evaluation is a natural extension of Synchronous Textbook Guidance, meeting the needs of students for after-class exercises and self-assessment during mid-term and final exams. The comments include not only principles and methods but also techniques and experience; they not only help you deepen your 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 subjects for the middle school entrance exam are in one volume (except English, which is in two volumes), while the high school entrance exam is divided into Round 1 and Round 2. The review focuses on showcasing the goals, trends, and directions of the middle (high) school entrance exams, giving you a clear understanding and encouraging active exploration. Especially when helping you master the exam content, it also emphasizes the infusion of exam experience, thereby achieving a well-rounded development of exam content, exam strategies, and exam 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 basic direction of curriculum reform. If not, how could it be called a "Mind Revolution"? The issue lies here: learning is originally a natural thing, arising from people's desire for knowledge and part of human nature, yet it has been distorted by external pressures, unrealistic short-term actions, and piles of exam materials, obscuring the basic facts. Just as Marx's simple yet profound, ordinary yet great discovery—that people must first eat, drink, and wear—was obscured by complex ideologies. Therefore, we must return to our roots and restore learning to its original form. This is the "Mind Revolution!"
