Your vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with. We should learn some ways to expand it.

Read every day. 1 Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know.

2If you do not meet with an unfamiliar word in your daily reading, use your dictionary to search for one.

Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word. Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary, you must be able to use it in speech.

Elaborate(阐释)on the meaning of the word. Use imagery and personal relevance. If you have just learned that the word “stubborn” , think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car.3

Use your new word in speech and in writing. E-mail your sister about how yourcat is stubborn about sleeping on your pillow.4But the more you use it, the more fluent you will become in its use. Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.

Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary. Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is5.The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone, the more likely you are to remember it.

A. Or let them ask for the definition of a new word you have used.

【题目】The Horn of Plenty is one of the largest natural health food stores within the Greater Hamilton area. We are big supporters of buying locally and we are here to tell you why it is so important for your family, the community and the environment.

The concept of buying locally is simple: buy food produced, grown, or raised as close to your home as possible. Not only will your food be fresher and tastier, but you are helping protect the environment and are supporting businesses within your community and reducing pollution.

Better for the environment

Sustainability (持续性) and global warming are such hot topics at the moment, and many people want to do their bit to help support a healthier environment. Small action carried out by many people can make a big difference. Most materials in an average North American meal have traveled about 1,500 miles to get from farm to plate. To cut out a big part of this travel would greatly reduce not only pollution from transportation and refrigeration but also customers’ expenses as well.

Taste and nutritional content

Locally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested. Because they are picked at the height of ripeness (成熟) and travel only a short distance to the market, their freshness, nutrition, and flavor are kept. Produce trucked in from far away may lose both taste and nutritional content.

Community and home values

When you buy direct from a farmer or buy locally-grown foods, you are engaged in a time-honored tradition between a grower and an eater. You also help keep dollars within your community.

【1】It can be inferred from the third paragraph that ___________.

A. global warming is the most serious problem now

B. North American food is rich in various kinds of materials

C. the increased cost of transporting food is passed on to the customers

D. most people support buying locally

【2】 Locally-grown fruits and vegetables taste good mostly because___________.

A. they are picked when they are fully grown

B. they are not polluted by chemical fertilizer

C. they can be harvested at any time

D. they are sent to the market at a high speed

【3】According to the author, when you buy locally-grown foods ___________.

A. you can see how fruits and vegetables grow

B. you will contribute to protecting the environment

C. you will become much healthier and prettier

D. you are making money from your community

【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. The way to keep your food tasty and healthy.

B. The popularity of the Horn of Plenty.

C. The importance of protecting the environment.

D. The benefits of buying locally.

【题目】Eating too much fatty food,exercising too little and smoking can raise your future risk of heart disease. But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immediately:the air you breathe.

Previous studies have linked high exposure(暴露)to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problems, but two analyses now show that poor air quality can cause heart attack or stroke(中风) within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one report of the research, scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants(污染物)were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. Another study of stroke patients showed that even air that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)considers to be of “moderate”(良好) quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.

The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect public health.

【1】The text mainly discusses the relationship between _________ .

A. heart problems and air quality

B. heart problems and exercising

C. heart problems and smoking

D. heart problems and/span> fatty food

【2】The underlined word modest in Paragraph 3 most probably means _________ .

A. relatively high B. extremely low

C. relatively low D. extremely high

【3】We can learn from the text that __________?

A. eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.

B. the EPA conducted many studies on air quality.

C. moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking.

D. stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.

【4】The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to _________ .

A. inform B. persuade C. describe D. entertain

【题目】A study notes that Some children are natural-born bosses. They have a strong need to make decisions, manage their environment, and lead rather than follow. Stephen Jackson, a Year One student, "operates under the theory of what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine," says his mother."The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers (剑). Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brogher was using the beat-up ones."

"Examine the extended family, and you'll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in every generation. It's a common inheritable trait," says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain control when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other.

Whether it's inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands at the young isn't healthy for children or the family, Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior, says family psychologist John Taylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, "have secret feelings of weakness" and "a desire to feel safe." It's the parents' role to provide that protection.

When a "boss child" doesn't learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.

"I see more and more parents giving up their power," says Barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years."They bend too far because they don't want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn, feel more anxious."

【1】Bossy children like Stephen Jackson _____.

A. make good decisions

B. show self-centeredness

C. lack care from others

D. have little sense of fear

【2】The underlined phrase "inheritable trait" in Paragraph 2 means _____.

A. inborn nature B. accepted theory

C. developed character D. particular environment

【3】The study on bossy behavior implies that parents _____.

A. should not set limits for their children

B. should give more power to their children

C. should be strict with their children properly

D. should let children find sense of safety by themselves

【4】It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs that bossy children may become

A.relaxed and confident B. hesitant and weak

C.lonely and anxious D.willful and unbending
