It is a good idea to make a list (清单) before you go shopping. Some people do not like to make a shopping list because it takes time. However, there are many reasons why you should make one.
Firstly, a shopping list helps you to save time. When you write the list, you should put the things in different groups. For example, you can write down all the fruit and vegetables in one column (栏). In the next column, you can write down all the meat. Do the same for other things. Keeping your list organized will help you shop faster.
Secondly, a shopping list helps you not to forget anything. You would not want to get home from the store and find you didn’t buy all the things you needed. A shopping list helps you to remember everything you want to buy.
A shopping list can also help you to save money. Without a list you might not remember if you have enough milk at home. You might buy the milk as you think you don’t have any. When you get home, you would see you already have a full bottle of milk. Then the extra (额外的) milk might go to waste. If you make a list, you will not buy the things you do not need.
Although it will take you a few minutes to write out a shopping list, it is worth (值得) your time.

【推荐2】There’s nothing quite like falling sound asleep after a full day of work. Like people, animals need to rest after working hard. Some animals sleep in water. Others dig holes under the ground. Some even sleep high in trees or under leaves. But they all find a way to rest.
Some animals in the sea sleep in strange ways. Fish sleep with their eyes open. They seem to look ahead far into the sea while they rest. Sea otters sometimes sleep in beds of the plants that grow in the sea. This keeps them from moving away. Parrotfish blow something from their mouths when they are ready to sleep. Then a bubble (气泡) will be formed around them. The bubble protects them from harm while they sleep.
Some animals sleep under the ground. Chipmunks (花栗鼠) sleep curled up (蜷缩) in a ball. Their beds are made of leaves and grass. In winter, they sleep for two weeks and wake up to eat the stored food. Then they go back to sleep for another two weeks before waking up again. Some desert frogs dig underground holes during the hot, dry season. A frog may stay in its hole for months.
High above the ground, monkeys find leafy places in trees each evening before they sleep. The tall trees help to keep monkeys safe during the night.
