C
A warm drink of
milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s
sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is
milked from a cow at night.
Researchers have
discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin (褪黑激素),which has been proven to help people feel
sleepy and reduce anxiety.
The study, by
researchers from Seoul, R.O. Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk
powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.
Those given night
milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and
less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according
to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.
Night milk
quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect
of cow milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to
now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to
fall asleep at night.
Previous studies
have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the
calcium content, which helps people to relax.
Milk is also
sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as
the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take
in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.

There are many
useful suggestions that can help one to improve English. Here are some of them
to increase one’s English language vocabulary.
Learning English
vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words. It is based
on understanding important words and expressions.
Learning a word
will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Researches show that it takes
from 10 to 20 repetitions to really make a word part of your vocabulary. Since
most words are learned from how they are used in context，the more words one is shown, the better
vocabulary one will have. Keep a piece of paper close to you. When you read,
pay close attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to
understand its meaning from the context. Then look up the word in a
dictionary.
Remember that if
you do not use English words that you have just learned in conversation or
writing, you will forget them very quickly. So the best way to learn new words
effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing. Remember
also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English.
Building
vocabulary is a life-long task. Remember: “In the beginning was the word.” Your
future could depend on how rich your vocabulary is. It will also determine the
quality of your communication.
32. We can learn
from the passage that learning English vocabulary _________.
A. is just about learning the right words
B. is about
remembering more and more words
C. doesn’t require
one to learn expressions
D. requires one to
understand important expressions
33. Which of the
following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. To master a word, you need to repeat it
10-20 times.
B. If you remember a word, you are still able
to forget it if you don’t use it.
C. It doesn’t take long to build one’s
vocabulary.
D. Practice is very important in fluent
spoken English.
34. The best way
to learn new words is _________.
A. trying to use
them while speaking and writing
B. writing them
down over and over again
C. always looking
them up in the dictionary
D. reading them loudly over and over again
