Ⅴ. 阅读短文，选择最佳选项。
Language learners often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can't remember words. In fact, the problem usually isn't with their memory. The problem is with how they study.
To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term memory and long-term memory. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it's organized. When you put away a book or memory, you can't just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.
How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to use the word actively and think about it in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include the word. Even better, you can invent a short story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For
example, if the word is "height", you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. ▲ And they give a way to find a word when you need it.
