There’s always something deep in our soul that never dies. I moved to the small, busy town of Edison in New Jersey six years ago. It was during the second term of my fifth grade. My parents got new jobs and higher income, so they decided it was time to move from Woodbridge to a better, more educational town.

In the US, it is unnecessary to take a test to get into a “good” middle or high school. You just attend the school close to where you live. So, many parents will think about the quality (质量,品质) of the local school when they decide to buy a new house. My parents did the same. We finally chose Edison mainly because of the high quality of its school.

In New Jersey, an area with a good school usually means a concentration of Asian people. There are about 300 students in our school. 55% are Asians and just under half of that are Chinese. There are so many Chinese people nearby that we even have our own Chinese school.

Edison is an old town, just like thousands of others in the United States. However, I have treated it as my hometown. That’s where I spend much of my youth, and the memories there can’t be moved at all.

There are many ways to help improve your memory, so you shouldn’t feel ___________ in study.

My first ___________ is that if you want to remember something well, you have to go over it regularly(有规律地). You might go over the material two days after you learn it, then a week later, then two weeks later, and then a month later. After a month you will ___________ that you can easily remember the material.

My second advice is to use a red pen to _____________ lines under the important sentences in your book. This will help you in two ways. First, it will help you concentrate(集中) on the most important parts when you learn the __________. It is always easier to remember only the important sentences. Second, this will make reviewing easier. When you open your book, the underlined parts will _________ you the most important things immediately. In this way, you don’t have to go over all the materials again.

Another piece of advice is to review all the information in your ___________ just before you go to sleep. Your brain is working ____________ you are sleeping. If you think about the information before you go to sleep, you might be able to remember it better.

So you might also ___________ memorize the important information in the morning.
