    Learning how to use new words well will make it easier to learn a language and make you more knowledgeable.

1..If you are committed to building your vocabulary, set a goal for yourself. Try to learn three new words a day and use them in your speech and writing. With great efforts, you can learn several thousand new words that you will remember and use.

Write more.2.. Actively exercising your writing muscles will keep your vocabulary strong. Write letters to old friends and use lots of specific details.3. If you typically avoid composing memos or writing group emails or participating in group discussions, change your habits and write more. You might as well get paid while you are building your vocabulary.

Use flash cards or post-it notes around your house. If you're going to make a habit of learning new words, try some simple memorization techniques. Hang post-its with the definition of a particular word you hope to memorize above the coffee maker, so you can study it while making your morning cup. 4. Even if you're watching TV or doing other activities, keep some flash cards with you and study your new words.

Use accurate adjectives and precise nouns. The best writers aim to keep it short and accurate. Get out the dictionaries and use the most accurate words possible in your sentences.5.. A word is a useful addition to your vocabulary if it reduces the number of the words in a sentence.

C.Don't use three words when one will do

D.Start keeping a diary if you don't, or start a blog

E.Consider taking on more writing tasks at work

If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like “Shakespeare,” “Samuel Johnson,” and “Webster,” but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn’t even speak English-William the Conqueror.

Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups. In the west central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.

But this state of affairs did not last. In l066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of Eng-land while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of Politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction (区别) between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.

When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more "foreign" than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man's ambition.

1.The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before l066 were      

A.Welsh and Scottish B.Nordic and Germanic

C.Celtic and Old English. D.Anglo-Saxon and Germanic

2.Which of the following groups of words are, by inference, rooted in French?

A.president, Lawyer, beef B.president, bread, water

C.bread, field, sheep D.folk, field, cow

3.Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?

A.Most advertisements in France appear in English.

B.They know little of the history of the English language.

C.Many French words are similar to English ones.

D.They know French better than German.

4.What is the subject discussed in the text?

A.The history of Great Britain.

B.The similarity between English and French.

C.The rule of England by William the Conqueror.

D.The French influences on the English language.

    There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting.

When my friend Lily from London used the word "larder", I didn't know what it meant. Realizing I didn't follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food.

The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged.

Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a woman who was pissed. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk.

Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store（食品杂货店）recently. She asked the young man if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didn't follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber.

In order to communicate well with the British, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English.

1.When Lily used the word "larder", she was probably looking for a ________.

A. cup B. ladder

C. cupboard D. cooker

2.What does the underlined phrase "jotted down" in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Wrote down. B. Left behind.

C. Looked for. D. Settled down.

3.According to the passage, Lily regretted sending her boys to watch a tennis game mainly because ________. .

A. the game was boring

B. she wanted to spend time with her boys

C. she didn't dress her boys in thick clothes

D. her boys got lost

4.What is the passage mainly about？

A. The British way of using words.

B. Some new words the writer's British friends taught her.

C. The reasons why Americans can't follow the British at times.

D. Some words used differently in British English and American English.

    Life affects friendships. As we grow, marry, fight in wars, move across the country or change jobs, old friendships fall away and new ones form. As long as we live, the things around us change, and as long as things change, friendships are affected.

When we were children, we had best friends. No matter what happened we were still friends. We live our lives, however, and do what life calls for us to do, and as we get older, memories fade, faces blur（变得模糊），and even friends’ names from childhood are forgotten.

Do you have a question about friendship？Do you wonder what to do with a friend who is no longer friendly？ Perhaps you will see that you can’t control others. If some  people want to be your friends, it is their choice. All you can do is treat them well and do the best for them when you are with them. Then you wish them well when they leave.

You can talk to old-timers and they will tell you that life is full of incredible（难以置信的）joy and incredible sorrow, and that what bothers you today will one day become a memory and the pain will be gone. Seniors might tell you that you will learn more as you get older. They will tell you that friendships come and friendships go. Sometimes when they go it will hurt you, but you will be okay with it. It’s theway life works, after all.

1.According to the text, what can we learn about friendship？

A.Friendship cannot be easily affected by one’s family.

B.Friends are always around us and will never go away.

C.Friends in childhood are sometimes forgotten by us.

D.Friends in childhood are the best no matter what happens.

2.In the author’s opinion, what should we do with friends who are no longer friendly？

A.Care about them and do the best for them when we are together.

B.Forget them and make new friends who have a lot in common with us.

C.Find the reason why our friendship has changed.

D.Do our best to control them and make them listen to us.

3.What the old-timers and seniors in the last paragraph tell you about friendship will ______.

A.make you have no good friends

Dear Tom,

Is everything going fine with you? It has been a long time since we meet last time and I really miss you a lot.

You won’t believe how many I’ve changed. I now spend most of my time study. Absorbed in books, not only have I broadened my horizons, but I have full enriched myself. Keeping your instruction in mind firmly, I took part varieties of after school activities to keep a balance between study but relaxation. For an example, last week, I worked as a volunteer in an old people’s house. The old expressed their sincere warm and appreciation when I helped them, that made me realize the true meaning of life.

I hope we are also enjoying every day as I am. Welcome to China again.

Yours,

Li Hua
