correct the following tenese

Question

Concentration does not mean (1) think only one idea. Concentration means holding a central issue in mind while you (2)except or reject ideas that are related to that issue. In the words of F. Scott (3)(1896-1940), author of the nover (4)"The Great Gatsby," "The test of a first-rate (5)time." If you pay attention and concentrate, (6)you had become an active listener able to sythesize new info with facts and ideas (7)all ready known. A good way to begin concentrating (8)is to be anticipating the lecture. Before class, you should look over your notes from the last (9)lecture and take a minute to speculate about what your instructor is going to talk about today. If the lectures follow your textbook, peek ahead to see what's coming. (10)Once the lecture starts: let your mind dart (11)ahead during pauses to (12)anticipate what's coming next. You'll be alert, (13)engrosed in the (14)material.And concentrated 100 percent. Another way to start the process of concentration is to look at the (15)coarse syllabus. You cannot (16)attain concentration by concentrating on concentration. Deep (17)cognition deep thinking, is vital. When you hear a (18)lecture the words enter your short-term memory where they have to be (19)swiftly processed into ideas. If your (20)instructors words are not processed through active listening that results from attention and concentration, (21)they will be gone and dumped forever from the short-term memory. If you process the words into ideas, (22)in a flash the ideas will be stored in memory. Research has shown that (23)an average student remembers about 50 percent of a ten-minute lecture when tested (24)immediately; and 25 percent of the same lecture when tested 48 hours later. These poor (25)results have occured when students were unable to package the (26)instructors idea's into easily remembered units. In the classroom, you are a captive audience for the (27)duration of the lecture. (28)Some students try to use the lecture period to read their textbooks, but doing so is a waste of time (29)because the negative attitude permeating their thinking will interfere with concentration. It is best to listen intently and take notes (30)vigorously.
