The way in which we communicate with others can be greatly improved by building a better vocabulary. In our personal life, we communicate and share experiences with others. However, how well we do it depends on our ability to express ourselves through spoken and written language. Luckily, increasing 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 and write down the words that you don’t know. Try go over 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 games, such as word searches, crossword puzzles and so on. Playing these games, you are more likely to come across new words, and when you don’t know the 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.

Michael Morpurgo was born on 5th October, 1943 in the south of England. He and his brother were moved from London when the Second World War began. Michael went to two different boarding schools when he was growing up. He particularly enjoyed playing rugby and singing but he often felt homesick and missed home. After school, Michael joined the army but he did not enjoy being shouted at and so he left shortly afterwards. Michael then decided to go to university instead.
After graduating from university, Michael became a primary school teacher and taught in a small school in Kent. He loved teaching and his favourite thing to do was to read stories to his class. When he ran out of stories to read to them, Morpurgo started to write his own. His first book was written in 1974 and was called “It Never Rains: Five Stories”. Morpurgo has stated that the days he spent teaching are some of the happiest of his life.
Michael left teaching after ten years and bought a farm with his wife. Together they began a charity called Farms for City Children. This charity offers children who live in poorer, inner-cities the chance to come and stay on a working farm for a week. Children learn from hands-on experience about how to care for animals and how to work with others as part of a team. The charity is still running today, and thousands of children have been to stay at one of the three farms that the charity now owns.
Michael Morpurgo has written more than 100 books for children. He writes about children and their relationships with older people and animals. He also writes stories about wars. Many of them have won prizes and several are now films or plays, including War Horse, which is now well known around the world. Another popular book is Kensuke’s Kingdom, which he wrote in 1999.

Rivers are the lifeblood of human civilizations. As one of the longest-lasting civilizations, China has a large number of rivers. A total of 45,203 rivers with a drainage area (流域面积) of more than 50 square kilometers run across the country, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
The most famous ones are the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers. As the longest river in Asia and third longest in the world, the Yangtze River has a length of 6,300 kilometers. It originates from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (高原) and flows through 11 provincial-level administrative regions (省级行政区) before ending in the East China Sea. Second to the Yangtze River is the Yellow River, with a length of 5,464 kilometers as it flows from the west to the east of China.
Apart from its big number of natural rivers, China also has a lot of beautiful man-made rivers. The Grand Canal is one example. With a history of more than 2,500 years, the Grand Canal stretches (延伸) nearly 3,200 kilometers and connects the north and south of China.
Despite their different features, these rivers and canals continue to nourish (滋养) the Chinese people physically and culturally. They bring fertile (肥沃的) soil and enough irrigation (灌溉) water, which makes many areas “a land of fish and rice”. Connecting China as a whole, the water network runs through geographical boundaries (界限) and provides people with convenient transportation, expanding trade and promoting economic growth. These rivers are immortalized (使名垂千古) in Chinese culture, as can be found in Chinese poetry, art, literature, and folklore.
Just as Chinese President Xi Jinping said, “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets (绿水青山就是金山银山).”
To protect these bodies of water, many measures have been taken in recent years. For example, in August the Ministry of Water Resources announced plans to bring back 700,000 hectares (公顷) of degraded natural forest and treat almost 1.4 million hectares of land suffering from desertification (沙漠化) by 2025.
Through these government measures, our rivers have seen many positive changes—birds flying above the wetlands and farmers happily harvesting on irrigated lands.
Life flows through ____21____
Introduction China abounds in rivers and there are 45,203 rivers with large drainage areas running across the country in ____22____.

The late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela. once said, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.”
Mandela understood that our mother language is a very intimate (亲近的) thing to us. For people who speak an ancient tongue as their mother language, it helps them keep their traditions. Their language is their main connection with their ancestors. And it is also how they imagine the future.
So it’s a serious thing that a language disappears. Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died out. Some languages are now spoken only by a few dozen people, like Yagan in Chile. Africa and South Africa are also places where many languages are dying.
Why are we humans speaking fewer languages than we once did The answer has to do with globalization. With greater trade and communication, the planet has become smaller. It’s become more useful to speak some languages—English is the obvious example—than others. The effect has been to kill certain languages, usually ones spoken by less populous and powerful peoples.
But there are people and organizations all over the world that aren’t prepared to accept a planet with fewer and fewer languages. Through efforts both large and small, they are getting people to speak and read in certain languages, and to pass them on. Each year on Feb 21,The United Nations also holds International Mother Language Day in the hope that the public pay more attention to dying languages.
This work is important. As US writer Rita Mae Brown wrote, “Language is the road map of a culture. It tells where its people come from and where they are going”.
Mother tongue: a path to the ___31___ & the road map of a culture
Presentation of the problem The ___32___ of mother tongue It ___33___ people not only to their traditions and ancestors but also to the outlook for the future.
How ___34___ the problem is With ___35___ 400 languages having died out, some languages are left to be ___36___ by fewer and fewer people.
___37___ of the problem Globalization makes it ___38___ useful to speak languages of less influence.
___39___ to solve the problem Some people and organizations are working to pass on certain languages spoken by less populous and powerful people; The UN has set Feb 21st as International Mother Language Day to ____40____ people’s attention to dying languages.

Hou Yifan, a 28-year-old girl, is a “queen of chess” in China. People around the world are impressed by the great chess player.
Hou started to play chess at 5 years old in 1999. At that time, her parents took Hou to try different mind games at a training center. “With the special shapes (形状), I was interested in the chess and wanted to take it up,” said Hou.
After playing for two years as a hobby, Hou met her coach, a great master Tong Yuanming and began a kind of new training. “Chess is a mind game full of changes. So I should learn skills from others and keep practising chess in my daily life,” Hou said.
Luckily, what she did was soon rewarded (回报). At 13, she became China’s youngest National Women’s Champion and then became the youngest chess champion in the world at 16.
Although she was well-known all over the world, she still wanted to keep improving. Having focused on international chess for a long time, Hou then wanted to study in the college. She went to Peking University in 2012. Several years later, she went on to study in the University of Oxford. “I must know more,” she said. “I would like to open my eyes to see the whole world.”
Now, the 28-year-old lady has become a teacher at Shenzhen University. She hopes to “connect the methods she learned in China to the West and allow international chess to reach more young Chinese people”.

Sue and Jim were neighbours for five years but they were never interested in each other. Then one day, Sue saw Jim’s music collection. She noticed a rare punk rock CD that she also owned. At that moment, she realized that they both had the same interest in music and they started talking. Sue said, “I thought we had nothing in common (相同) until I saw his CD by the New York Dolls.” They are now married and living with each other.
Some psychologists (心理学家) think that your taste in music is related to (有联系的) your personality. As part of a test at the University of Texas, Austin, USA, volunteers created a CD of their favourite songs. The volunteers then listened to each other’s CDs and made guesses about the CD creator’s personality—outgoing, adventurous, happy, and so on. These strangers correctly guessed much more about each others’ personalities through their CDs than through their clothes or taste in films. For example, Sue and Jim love punk music, which means they have outgoing personalities.
The psychologists who did the test found Snoop Dogg (hip-hop) fans are likely to be energetic and talkative. People who like U2 (rock/pop music) are generally independent and adventurous.
The psychologists also found that Louis Armstrong (jazz) fans tend to (倾向于) be serious and intelligent. While fans of classical music are also likely to enjoy jazz music and tend to be shy. The psychologists were surprised to find that rap and heavy metal fans were also shier and quieter than many other music lovers.

Have you ever eaten something that you grew in your own garden Many people have not had the pleasure of this experience. Alice Waters, the owner of Chez Panisse Restaurant, set out to change all that for a special group of students at Martin Luther King Junior Middle School in Berkeley, California.
Waters worked with the school’s principal（校长）, Neil Smith, to create a cooking and gardening programme at school. Waters believe in the importance of people knowing where their food comes from.

In 1995, the first crops were planted. Every year since then, new crops are evaluated（评价） to make sure that they are best suited for the environment an the needs of the school.

“If you don’t believe, I’ll call the police.” is a lie that parents might use to get their young children to behave. A new psychological（心理学的）study led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore suggests that it has a relationship with harmful results when the children become adults.
The research team asked 379 Singaporean young adults whether their parents lied to them when they were children, how much they lie to their parents as adults, and how well they deal with adulthood challenges.
The first questionnaire（问卷）asked these young adults to recall（回忆）if their parents told them lies about eating, leaving or staying, spending money and so on. Some examples of such lies are “If you don’t come with me now, I will leave you here by yourself and “I don’t bring money with me today, we can come back another day”. Most of them filled in “Yes”. The second questionnaire included questions that could show how often they lie to their parents when they become adults. Lastly, these young adults filled in two other questionnaires that asked them about their psychological problems and if they often behave generously and thoughtfully.
Adults who were lied to as children were more likely to lie to their parents when they grow up. They also said it was much more difficult for them when meeting psychological and social challenges.
Lead author Setoh Peipei from NTU Singapore’s School of Social Sciences said, “Parenting by lying can seem to save time, especially when the real reasons behind why parents want children to do something are difficult to explain. When parents tell children that honesty is the best rule, but display dishonesty by lying, such behavior can send wrong messages to their children. Parents’ dishonesty may finally destroy trust and encourage dishonesty in children.”
Our research suggests that parenting by lying is a practice that has negative influence on children when they grow up. Parents should understand these possible risks and think of other ways to replace lying, such as knowing children’s feelings, giving specific information so children know what to expect, offering choices and solving problems together, to encourage children to have good behavior, said lead author Setoh Peipei.
Children can be ___81___by parents’ lies negatively
Introduction Parents’ using lies to make their children behave will ___82___ to harmful results when their children become adults.
Questionnaires to 379 young adults Asked them to recall if their parents told them lies. Asked about the frequency of ___83___to their parents when they become adults. Asked about their psychosocial ___84___. Asked them if they often have ___85___and thoughtful behaviour.
Results It’s highly possible that adults who were lied to as children lied to their parents in ___86___. They faced greater ___87___when meeting psychological and social challenges. Some guests are with the sound proofing（隔音）and the dirty house.
Opinions It’s hard to explain the reasons why parents lie to their children. ___88___dishonest sends wrong messages to children.
___89___ Parents should understand these possible risks and use correct ways instead of lying during parenting. Otherwise, ____90____between them would disappear and children would certainly learn dishonesty from them.

The way in which we communicate with others can be greatly improved by building a better vocabulary. In our personal life, we communicate and share experiences with others. However, how well we do it depends on our ability to express ourselves through spoken and written language. Luckily, increasing 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 and write down the words that you don’t know. Try go over 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 games, such as word searches, crossword puzzles and so on. Playing these games, you are more likely to come across new words, and when you don’t know the 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.

Use them more, and you’ll surely have a better chance of remembering them.

Michael Morpurgo was born on 5th October, 1943 in the south of England. He and his brother were moved from London when the Second World War began. Michael went to two different boarding schools when he was growing up. He particularly enjoyed playing rugby and singing but he often felt homesick and missed home. After school, Michael joined the army but he did not enjoy being shouted at and so he left shortly afterwards. Michael then decided to go to university instead.
After graduating from university, Michael became a primary school teacher and taught in a small school in Kent. He loved teaching and his favourite thing to do was to read stories to his class. When he ran out of stories to read to them, Morpurgo started to write his own. His first book was written in 1974 and was called “It Never Rains: Five Stories”. Morpurgo has stated that the days he spent teaching are some of the happiest of his life.
Michael left teaching after ten years and bought a farm with his wife. Together they began a charity called Farms for City Children. This charity offers children who live in poorer, inner-cities the chance to come and stay on a working farm for a week. Children learn from hands-on experience about how to care for animals and how to work with others as part of a team. The charity is still running today, and thousands of children have been to stay at one of the three farms that the charity now owns.
Michael Morpurgo has written more than 100 books for children. He writes about children and their relationships with older people and animals. He also writes stories about wars. Many of them have won prizes and several are now films or plays, including War Horse, which is now well known around the world. Another popular book is Kensuke’s Kingdom, which he wrote in 1999.

Rivers are the lifeblood of human civilizations. As one of the longest-lasting civilizations, China has a large number of rivers. A total of 45,203 rivers with a drainage area (流域面积) of more than 50 square kilometers run across the country, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
The most famous ones are the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers. As the longest river in Asia and third longest in the world, the Yangtze River has a length of 6,300 kilometers. It originates from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (高原) and flows through 11 provincial-level administrative regions (省级行政区) before ending in the East China Sea. Second to the Yangtze River is the Yellow River, with a length of 5,464 kilometers as it flows from the west to the east of China.
Apart from its big number of natural rivers, China also has a lot of beautiful man-made rivers. The Grand Canal is one example. With a history of more than 2,500 years, the Grand Canal stretches (延伸) nearly 3,200 kilometers and connects the north and south of China.
Despite their different features, these rivers and canals continue to nourish (滋养) the Chinese people physically and culturally. They bring fertile (肥沃的) soil and enough irrigation (灌溉) water, which makes many areas “a land of fish and rice”. Connecting China as a whole, the water network runs through geographical boundaries (界限) and provides people with convenient transportation, expanding trade and promoting economic growth. These rivers are immortalized (使名垂千古) in Chinese culture, as can be found in Chinese poetry, art, literature, and folklore.
Just as Chinese President Xi Jinping said, “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets (绿水青山就是金山银山).”
To protect these bodies of water, many measures have been taken in recent years. For example, in August the Ministry of Water Resources announced plans to bring back 700,000 hectares (公顷) of degraded natural forest and treat almost 1.4 million hectares of land suffering from desertification (沙漠化) by 2025.
Through these government measures, our rivers have seen many positive changes—birds flying above the wetlands and farmers happily harvesting on irrigated lands.

The late president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela. once said, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.”
Mandela understood that our mother language is a very intimate (亲近的) thing to us. For people who speak an ancient tongue as their mother language, it helps them keep their traditions. Their language is their main connection with their ancestors. And it is also how they imagine the future.
So it’s a serious thing that a language disappears. Over the last century, more than 400 languages have died out. Some languages are now spoken only by a few dozen people, like Yagan in Chile. Africa and South Africa are also places where many languages are dying.
Why are we humans speaking fewer languages than we once did The answer has to do with globalization. With greater trade and communication, the planet has become smaller. It’s become more useful to speak some languages—English is the obvious example—than others. The effect has been to kill certain languages, usually ones spoken by less populous and powerful peoples.
But there are people and organizations all over the world that aren’t prepared to accept a planet with fewer and fewer languages. Through efforts both large and small, they are getting people to speak and read in certain languages, and to pass them on. Each year on Feb 21,The United Nations also holds International Mother Language Day in the hope that the public pay more attention to dying languages.
This work is important. As US writer Rita Mae Brown wrote, “Language is the road map of a culture. It tells where its people come from and where they are going”.
Mother tongue: a path to the ___31___ & the road map of a culture
Presentation of the problem The ___32___ of mother tongue It ___33___ people not only to their traditions and ancestors but also to the outlook for the future.
How ___34___ the problem is With ___35___ 400 languages having died out, some languages are left to be ___36___ by fewer and fewer people.
___37___ of the problem Globalization makes it ___38___ useful to speak languages of less influence.
___39___ to solve the problem Some people and organizations are working to pass on certain languages spoken by less populous and powerful people; The UN has set Feb 21st as International Mother Language Day to ____40____ people’s attention to dying languages.

Sue and Jim were neighbours for five years but they were never interested in each other. Then one day, Sue saw Jim’s music collection. She noticed a rare punk rock CD that she also owned. At that moment, she realized that they both had the same interest in music and they started talking. Sue said, “I thought we had nothing in common (相同) until I saw his CD by the New York Dolls.” They are now married and living with each other.
Some psychologists (心理学家) think that your taste in music is related to (有联系的) your personality. As part of a test at the University of Texas, Austin, USA, volunteers created a CD of their favourite songs. The volunteers then listened to each other’s CDs and made guesses about the CD creator’s personality—outgoing, adventurous, happy, and so on. These strangers correctly guessed much more about each others’ personalities through their CDs than through their clothes or taste in films. For example, Sue and Jim love punk music, which means they have outgoing personalities.
The psychologists who did the test found Snoop Dogg (hip-hop) fans are likely to be energetic and talkative. People who like U2 (rock/pop music) are generally independent and adventurous.
The psychologists also found that Louis Armstrong (jazz) fans tend to (倾向于) be serious and intelligent. While fans of classical music are also likely to enjoy jazz music and tend to be shy. The psychologists were surprised to find that rap and heavy metal fans were also shier and quieter than many other music lovers.

“If you don’t believe, I’ll call the police.” is a lie that parents might use to get their young children to behave. A new psychological（心理学的）study led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore suggests that it has a relationship with harmful results when the children become adults.
The research team asked 379 Singaporean young adults whether their parents lied to them when they were children, how much they lie to their parents as adults, and how well they deal with adulthood challenges.
The first questionnaire（问卷）asked these young adults to recall（回忆）if their parents told them lies about eating, leaving or staying, spending money and so on. Some examples of such lies are “If you don’t come with me now, I will leave you here by yourself and “I don’t bring money with me today, we can come back another day”. Most of them filled in “Yes”. The second questionnaire included questions that could show how often they lie to their parents when they become adults. Lastly, these young adults filled in two other questionnaires that asked them about their psychological problems and if they often behave generously and thoughtfully.
Adults who were lied to as children were more likely to lie to their parents when they grow up. They also said it was much more difficult for them when meeting psychological and social challenges.
Lead author Setoh Peipei from NTU Singapore’s School of Social Sciences said, “Parenting by lying can seem to save time, especially when the real reasons behind why parents want children to do something are difficult to explain. When parents tell children that honesty is the best rule, but display dishonesty by lying, such behavior can send wrong messages to their children. Parents’ dishonesty may finally destroy trust and encourage dishonesty in children.”
Our research suggests that parenting by lying is a practice that has negative influence on children when they grow up. Parents should understand these possible risks and think of other ways to replace lying, such as knowing children’s feelings, giving specific information so children know what to expect, offering choices and solving problems together, to encourage children to have good behavior, said lead author Setoh Peipei.
Children can be ___81___by parents’ lies negatively
Introduction Parents’ using lies to make their children behave will ___82___ to harmful results when their children become adults.
Questionnaires to 379 young adults Asked them to recall if their parents told them lies. Asked about the frequency of ___83___to their parents when they become adults. Asked about their psychosocial ___84___. Asked them if they often have ___85___and thoughtful behaviour.
Results It’s highly possible that adults who were lied to as children lied to their parents in ___86___. They faced greater ___87___when meeting psychological and social challenges. Some guests are with the sound proofing（隔音）and the dirty house.
Opinions It’s hard to explain the reasons why parents lie to their children. ___88___dishonest sends wrong messages to children.
___89___ Parents should understand these possible risks and use correct ways instead of lying during parenting. Otherwise, ____90____between them would disappear and children would certainly learn dishonesty from them.
