6 . Ways to Improve Vocabulary in Just One Day

The average American has a vocabulary in the thousands . Try these tricks to make sure yours builds up.

Watch movies

"If you see the movie version of your favourite book you're likely to have a deeper understanding and knowledge of the words in it," says Neuman, professor of Childhood and Literacy Education at New York University . "Seeing and reading something on the same topic is really important.”

Read magazines

If you want to improve vocabulary, don't just flip through your favourite magazine, really read it.

Listen to how words sound

Many people won't remember tricky words unless they come across them frequently. But if you hear a word that you think sounds interesting, you become word conscious(有意识的) and start using it yourself, says Neuman.

Join a book club

"Book clubs are a wonderful strategy to learn new words,” says Neuman. Not only will it force you to set aside time in your day to read, but it's also a good way to discover books you might not normally be drawn to.

Listen to the radio

Those types of programs can expose you to topics you may not be familiar with. Don't miss these middle school vocabulary words adults still don't know.

Pay attention to your surroundings

Next time walk down a busy street or take a walk in the park, try to describe what you're seeing as much as possible inside your head.

Read, read, read

Even if you don't stop to look up every single foreign word, chances are you can improve vocabulary simply by figuring out(想出) their meaning based on the context.

1. How many tricks mentioned above are through hearing?

A．1.

B．2.

C．3

D．4.

2. According to the passage, how will you find some special and unusual books?

A．By listening to the radio.	B．By joining a book club.

7 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

As everyone knows，it is Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province where the local porcelain(瓷器) is highly desirable     1     is the center of world porcelain. Last year, my school held a two-day research activity,     2     (guide) by the slogan,“Exploring ceramic(陶瓷的) culture, traveling through ancient and modern times”. The aim was     3     (build) students’ awareness of traditional culture.

On our way to Jingdezhen，our guide introduced us to the basics of porcelain production. Our first stop was the Museum of Chinese Ceramics, which has     4     unique and exquisite collection of porcelain made from materials such as clay(陶土) and stone.

The guide told us of the great achievements in ceramics from ancient times until today. I listened carefully to everything.     5    (date) back to Neolithic(新石器时代) period, clay was used to make pottery(陶器)，    6     people used to carry water and food. Today, we still use porcelain but our pottery is     7     (real) far more beautiful than the products of those times.

On the second day, the team leader took us to a small DIY porcelain factory.     8     the guidance of the teacher, we     9     (give) some clay and the chance to design a piece of pottery. Although our efforts were not as beautiful as the articles in the museum, they were our own work. The two-day activity was     10     (enjoy) and meaningful. I learned a lot about porcelain and made an item on my own. It meant a lot to me.

8 . I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn't like attention drawn to myself. And _________ otherwise assigned(指定）a seat by the teacher, I always chose to sit at the back of the classroom.

All this _________ after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn't have a good sense of balance, nor did I have the _________ to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on _________ for it, I would not have decided to give a try.

Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the _________ of it! When I first started _________ the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much _________ what I was doing. Sometimes I'd get _________ and take a shot at the wrong direction----which made me feel really stupid. Fortunately, I wasn't the only one "new" at the game, so I decided to _________ on learning the game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t know “just yet”.

I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the __________ and the" moves". Being part of a team was fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive __________ in me was winning over my lack of confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the __________—— friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!

With my __________ self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from "__________ " in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, to raising my hand----even when I sometimes wasn’t 100 percent __________ I had the right answer. Now I have more self-confidence in myself.

10 . All of us spend a large part of our lives at home — eating, sleeping, relaxing and communicating with our family members. Our home is a shelter for us, away from the noisy, busy, and polluted world outside — a place where we can let down our hair and dress casually. Eco­friendliness (环保) is a hot word today and we all know we should make our environment as eco­friendly as possible. This is not only good for our health, but also good for the outward environment. Here are some easy and helpful tips to make your home eco­friendly.

Kitchen

Plan the kitchen to be bright and airy so that you don't have to turn on the lights at daytime. Don't make wasteful use of the gas. Keep all ingredients for cooking ready before lighting the gas. Turn it to low when not required — always using it on "high" burns a lot of gas.

Indoor plants

Plants are extremely eco­friendly and can be used to make your home look lively. Apart from adding life to home, they give out O_2, thus making the air inside fresh. You can keep plants in your home, but be sure to show them some sunlight regularly. Also, if they are kept outside, clean their leaves with a wet cloth, as dust may be added to them. A home decorated with plants looks attractive. Plants are a natural home decorating gift that shows concern about the environment. A green plant is a wonderful gift which will protect the earth and is sure to be appreciated.

Saving water

Most of the time, we take water for granted — we keep water running while brushing our teeth or washing clothes. Needless to say, this is a huge waste of natural resources. Try to recycle water. For example, the water used for washing vegetables can be used for watering plants; the soapy water used for washing clothes can be used to clean the bathroom and kitchen.

1. Why is the importance of our home discussed in Paragraph 1?

A．To advise us to communicate more with our family members.

B．To show the outside world is noisy and polluted.

C．To advise us to spend more time staying at home.

D．To show it's necessary to make our home eco­friendly.

2. What is advised to be done in the kitchen?

A．To open the window.	B．To save energy.
C．To prepare simple meals.	D．To turn down lights.

3. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．We don't use water frequently.

B．We try our best not to waste water.

C．We don't realize the importance of water.

D．We make full use of water.
