Do you know that vocabulary is more important than grammar? If you have good vocabulary, you can communicate successfully, even if the grammar is not completely perfect. 

However, one common problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So, when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment. Does this often happen to you? The reason for this difficulty is that most students try to learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not work if you don’t have a very good memory. 

The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words successfully is to learn new words and use them at once. You can do this with a very simple exercise. Each time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than just reading a definition（释义）. You should write the word, the definition in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create. 

Imagine you just learn the word “generous”, write in your vocabulary notebook： generous （adjective）, definition—giving or willing to give freely. Example One, from the article： Thanks for paying for my dinner, you’re very generous. Example Two, my example： My brother is generous because he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. It’s best if your example sentences are true to your life, because this creates a personal connection with the new word. The next day, read your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence using the new word. It’s helpful for you to remember it. These two simple steps—writing the word and using it at once—help you remember and use new words.

I don’t have to explain to you why sleep is important. Our bodies have a need for daily and deep relaxation. However, many people suffer（遭受）from disruptive sleep（失眠）through night after night. If that’s you, the following can help you get some good sleep. 

Rest with the sun

When the sun goes down, it’s a sign for you to begin to relax. Of course, You don’t have to go to sleep at once, but begin to relax your body. Rest with some light reading or by relaxing on your sofa. You’d better not take high-energy activities, such as playing basketball at night. 

Make your bedroom the room for rest

The bedroom isn’t the room for you to play or study. Or at least it shouldn’t be. When you put your televisions or computers in your room, they make it difficult for you to fall asleep. Put away any unnecessary things and make it a place mainly for relaxation. 

Don’t eat too much at bedtime

When it’s time to sleep, your body prefers to sleep and doesn’t like to do anything else. When you eat too much before going to bed, your body will work hard to digest（消化）all that food. It can’t get the best preparation（准备）for sleep. So experts（专家）say it’s better to have about three hours between dinner time and bedtime. 

Clear your mind

Worry is the sleep thief, too. It’s hard to relax when your mind is still working. Make some space at night for your own quiet time. Read something that will encourage you to let your problems go. When you stop worrying, you will sleep better.

6．We should take high-energy activities ________ according to the passage.

A．before the sun goes down B．after the sun goes down

C．when the sun goes down D．as soon as the sun goes down

7．Put away any unnecessary things and make it a place mainly for relaxation. Here “it” refers to（指的是）________.
