7. Calculations and Testing Methods | 计算与测试方法
Stress and strain are central to R101. Stress is defined as force per unit area:
σ = F / A
(Units: N/m² or pascals). Strain is the ratio of extension to original length:
ε = ΔL / L₀
where L₀ is the original length and ΔL is the change. Strain has no units. Young’s modulus is the gradient of the linear portion of the stress–strain graph: E = σ / ε.
应力和应变是 R101 的核心。应力定义为每单位面积的力：
σ = F / A
（单位：牛/米² 或帕斯卡）。应变是伸长量与原始长度的比值：
ε = ΔL / L₀
其中 L₀ 为原始长度，ΔL 为变化量。应变无单位。杨氏模量是应力-应变曲线线性段的斜率：E = σ / ε。

抽认卡应用（数字或纸制）非常适合记忆定义、公式和指令动词提示。一面写问题，另一面写标准答案。在休息时或旅途中进行复习。
Engage in small group study sessions, even online. Explaining a concept to a peer forces you to structure your knowledge and identify gaps. Set challenges like “explain how a bipolar transistor works as a switch in 90 seconds”.
参与小型小组学习，即使是在线形式。向同伴解释一个概念能迫使你梳理知识并发现不足。设置挑战，如“在 90 秒内解释双极型晶体管如何作为开关工作”。
Use simulation software such as Yenka or Tinkercad Circuits to build and test electronic circuits virtually. This helps visualise current flow and voltage drops without risk of damaging components.
使用 Yenka 或 Tinkercad Circuits 等仿真软件，虚拟搭建和测试电路。这有助于可视化电流流动和电压降，而无需担心损坏元件。
11. Balancing Revision with Rest over the Holidays | 寒假复习与休息的平衡
High‑quality revision depends on a healthy routine. Aim for 8 hours of sleep each night, because memory consolidation occurs during deep sleep. Avoid late‑night cramming that leaves you exhausted the next day.
高质量的复习取决于健康的作息。每晚保证 8 小时睡眠，因为记忆巩固发生在深度睡眠期间。避免深夜填鸭式学习，以免第二天疲惫不堪。
Include physical activity in your daily plan. A 20‑minute walk, bike ride or indoor exercise can reset your brain and improve concentration. Family events are also important; enjoy Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve without guilt.
将体育活动纳入每日计划。20 分钟的散步、骑自行车或室内锻炼可以重启大脑，提高注意力。家庭活动同样重要；毫无愧疚地享受圣诞节和新年夜。
Practice mindfulness or breathing exercises if you feel anxious. When you encounter a difficult topic, remind yourself that struggle is part of learning. Use the ‘five‑minute rule’: try for five minutes alone before seeking help.
如果感到焦虑，可练习正念或呼吸练习。遇到困难主题时，提醒自己挣扎是学习的一部分。使用“五分钟规则”：先独自尝试五分钟，再寻求帮助。
Keep a progress journal. Each evening, write down three things you learned and one thing you want to improve
