In our personal life, we communicate and share experiences with others. However, how well we do it depends
on (取决于) our ability to express ourselves through spoken and written language. Luckily, increasing (增加)
our word power can make us own the skills we need to communicate better with others and can also help us
get better results in our study.
When you see a new word, whether through reading or hearing someone say the word, just be ready to
take out your dictionary and look it up-learn about the word and anything that relates (与…相关) to it. If you
understand the word, you"ll hopefully remember it well.
Meanwhile, you"d better write down words to learn. You can go through the dictionary, magazine and
newspaper or even take down the unknown words you hear. Try to review them every day-look at the words
and speak them out loudly. Copy the words over and over again, along with their meanings, and you will
surprisingly remember them in no time.
You can also do word searches, crossword puzzles or other word games. Playing these games, you are
more likely to come across new words, and when you are caught in new words, study them. The more words
you have in your brain"s word bank, the better you will become at these word games. You will be remembering,
learning and having fun, too.
Finally, reading is also believed to be an excellent way to learn new words and build up your vocabulary.
Read things you are interested in, because in this way, you are less likely to become bored. But don"t skip over
(忽略) those words you don"t know. Instead, you should remember and use them in your own daily
conversations. Use them more, and you"ll surely have a better chance of remembering them.

| If you want to become a better reader, what should you know about speed of reading? Some people read very rapidly (很快地), while others read very slowly. But which one is better? The rapid reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down enough to read directions (说明) carefully. He may read so rapidly that he does not take time to understand fully the ideas and information which are important to remember. The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads directions for making something. But he may spend too much time in reading a simple story which is meant to be enjoyed but is not important enough to be remembered. So, you see, either a rapid reader or a slow reader is not really a good one. If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important things to remember about speed of reading. 1. Knowing why you are reading will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly. 2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, science and history books, and Maths problems. You must read such things slowly or remember each important step and understand each important idea. 3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, letters from friends and bits of news from hometown papers. 4. In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along. You will need to read certain (某些) pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas. | |||||||||||||||||

| When you cough or sneeze, please turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. Afterwards, you should say, "Excuse me." This is a rule I set for my students. It is so simple, but many kinds have never been told to do this. In fact, I notice adults cough and sneeze in public without putting a hand over the mouth. I hate traveling by subway (地铁) in New York during cold and flu season, because it is certain that someone is going to stand right behind me and cough or sneeze on my neck. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hand, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be passing those germs (病菌) along to everything and everyone they touch. In order to help the kids remember this rule, I tell them about an old story. It says that when you sneeze, evil spirits jump into your body. If you don"t cover your mouth, the spirits will enter, but if you cover your mouth, you will keep them out, We say "God bless you" when someone sneezes, and in Germany you should say "Gesundheit". That means "Good health to you." Both expressions are said just in case you didn"t cover your mouth in time and the spirits were able to enter your body. The kids love finding out the origins (起源) of these expressions and it encourage them to put the advice to use more often. | |||||||||||||||||

Energy from the water When water moves from a high place to a lower place, it can make electricity (电) without pollution. However, people have to build dams (水坝) to use this energy, and building dams is very expensive. Energy from the earth There is heat in the rocks under the earth. Scientists use the heat to make geothermal (地热的) energy. This kind of energy is cheap, but it is only possible in a few places in the world. Energy from the sun Solar panels (太阳电池板) on the roofs of houses can turn energy from the sun into electricity. Solar power is clean and plentiful (丰富的), but when the weather is bad.
