Mastering a large bank of vocabulary
is crucial to speak a foreign language fluently.
Unofficial but often quoted statistics about
Cambridge First Certificate Examination
show
that students whose vocabulary less than 3500
words are less likely to pass
this exam.
The recent research also indicates that the
native English speakers educated to or
above
18 years old know at least 16000 English words.
Unless you can speak a language like Spanish
or German already, there is no
short-cut to a
large vocabulary: you have to depend on diligence
and dedication.
Of course, you can infer from
the context the meaning of some new words you come
across in reading, but you often have to look
up in a dictionary to clarify their exact
meanings.
A practical method to learn new
words may be reading widely, especially those you
find interesting or exciting.
Reading the
same book repeatedly is of great use: You’ll learn
different new words
every time you read, and
the familiar context also helps to engrave those
new words
on your mind deeply.

1) I don’t think it is
realistic to turn to him for help. As a matter of
fact, he himself

2) More and more people are
being awakened to the urgent need of combating air
pollution.
3) There are visible signs
that some of the time-honored old traditions and
values
are no longer cherished by the young
people.
4) Many of us find the notion of the
immeasurable (boundless) universe hard to
grasp.
5) Because of so many loopholes
in the laws and regulations, it is little(small)
wonder that a handful of speculators got rich
overnight.
6) An unprecedented boom in
tourism brought sudden prosperity to the small
border town, which was formerly inhabited by
only three hundred people.
7) In the light of
this information, that country already has the
capabilities to make
nuclear weapons.
8)
Regardless of repeated warnings from his friends,
he staked all his money on
high-risk ventures.
Unit3 page 65
If you set out to do some
business but failed, do not lose your confidence.
There are
great differences between that “I
failed three times” and “I am a failure”. As long
as
you try to learn from your failure instead
of holding a negative view about yourself or
identifying with failure, you are very likely
to succeed in the future. Have you ever
thought that those who have failed again and
again are always the victims of bad
self-
image? They failed often because of not external
reasons but internal reasons.
Countless
examples verify that if those people could be
prevailed on the change of
their view and set
up positive self-image, their performance would
change
miraculously. Success can come at any
time, whenever you are thirty, forty or when it
seems that you have failed all
your life. Success in early years is sweet, but
the late
one is tastier.

Unit5
Scientists
are a small group of people who are striving to
gain insight into nature
and seek for laws in
the superficial disorder. They have a special
ability to think and
analyze, and unlimited
patience in observing and collecting data.
However, not all
scientific discoveries can be
ascribed to (归因于) abilities and patience; they
usually
connect closely with creative
imagination. Of course, the leap of imagination is
often
the first step leading to discoveries.
Moreover, scientists are famous for their
honesty. They put a high premium to honesty,
mainly because their honesty is crucial
to
their career. Every theory they put forward has to
be further tested. Ever error and
lie are sure
to be found. So, if finding some evidence
contradicting with their ideas,
scientists
modify even abandon their ideas, instead of
concealing them. In this way,
they accumulate
an immense amount of knowledge, which can help us
understand
ourselves and surroundings better.

One day, we
received an invitation from my father to his
sixtieth birthday party.
Jenny regarded it as
my father’s actively reaching out to
reconciliation, so we should
accept it. I was
in the midst of abstracting an important case and
preparing for the
coming exams at that time,
hence I only used the simplest words to tell her
no day to
reconcile forever. My refusal
apparently made Jenny depressed, but as a rational
woman, she didn’t quarrel with me. She just
tried to persuade me. But it only made
me
furious, thinking that Jenny made me upset
deliberately. I must have been crazy
then,
because I did a thing for which I would never
forgive myself—I shouted at
Jenny and hurled
the phone at her. When I turned back to see her,
she had already
disappeared. I went out to
look for her everywhere, but in vain. I was scared
to death,
not knowing what to do next. When I
was going to give up, I suddenly saw Jenny
sitting in front of our house. I walked
forward to her, saying“Jenny，I’m sorry—”
But
she interrupted my apology and said, “ Love means
not ever having to say sorry.”
