写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
No wonder English poses (构成) such a challenge to non-native speakers. Th
is most global of languages has more words than any other, over 1 million according to the Global Language Monitor. Out of this number, the average American college student has mastered between 8,000-15,000.
Realizing that words are the building blocks of language, many Chinese students try hard to catch up. They make out long lists of words – often in alphabetical order – and simply memorize their definitions(释义) and Chinese meanings.
The bad news is that definition memorization does them little good when it comes to college entrance tests like the SATs. For these tests, a student needs to understand, not simply parrot words studied.
The good news is that there are better ways to build an academic English vocabulary.
Vocabulary learning system
The first thing to do is to develop an organized, but easy means of collecting and learning new words. We recommend a card system that includes the following information:
Word – Simple Definition in English – Phrase or Sentence – Related Words – Synonyms (同义词) and Antonyms (反义词) – with a Chinese translation on the reverse (背面) of the card.
The advantage of this system is that with a single card, a student can learn not just one word but a group of related words.
Keep your cards on a detachable (可分离的) metal ring, so you can carry them around and add to your collection daily.

In the passage the author tells us some bad and poor ways of memorizing English vocabulary and advise a vocabulary learning system, which enables students to learn a group of related words.
Since I entered school, my teachers have told me a lot of methods of memorizing English vocabulary. Association is a method with which we can think about a word from one to another. we want to memorize the word tree, do not remember t-r-e-e so far. We should enlarge it to the following: stick, branch, trunk, stem, leaf, shoot, root, in the tree, on the tree, pine tree, apple tree, etc. By this means, we can associate many separate words and expressions, and the result will be much better.
If we have mastered good methods of learning English words, we can enlarge a greater number of them by using less time, and thus get twice the result with half the effort. We can also improve the learning efficiency.
As a senior 3 student, in order to cope with the college entrance exam, I need to strengthen the memorization of English vocabulary since we can easily forget what we have learned. I will try to use all sorts of methods to help myself to memorize all the required vocabulary. Only in this way can I get a high mark in the college entrance exam.
解析
阅读下面的短文，然后从A-F选项中，为每一小段选择合适的标题, 并把答案写在答案卷上。
|
A. The most common problem is a “wandering” mind B. Selective listening is also a mental barrier C. Listening isn’t an easy skill to master D. Attitude can also influence good listening E. Noise and background music makes listening more difficult F. Listening is also related to the level of the listener’s knowledge |
1._____________
Listening is not as easy as someone thought. Even good listeners may recall only fifty percent of what they hear. Retention, the ability to remember and recall information, decreases about twenty to twenty-five percent after a few days. So no matter how well you listen in class, you’re always going to have to refresh your memory before a test! Unfortunately, many people have poor listening habits, and little listening training. To improve your listening skills, it’s important to understand what causes poor listening.
2.___________
If you find it difficult to concentrate solely on what a speaker is saying, there’s a good reason. The mind processes information much faster than a speaker can speak. The brain can process over 500 words per minute, while the average speaker talks at a rate of 124 to 250 words per minute. That means the mind can hear what’s being said and can think about something else at the same time.
3.____________
If you have a negative idea about the speaker or the topic, you’ll find it difficult to listen attentively. Hostile or captive audiences often have more difficultly listening than do favorable or voluntary ones.
4.____________
If a speaker speaks “above the heads” of an audience, people find it difficult to concentrate. Speakers who use unfamiliar words or who use incomplete explanations make it more difficult to listen. Speakers who “speak down” to audiences, failing to acknowledge what the audience already knows, also create mental blocks.
5.___________
When people listen selectively, they simply block out what they don’t want to hear. For instance, many people have habits that are dangerous to their health, like smoking. However, they often choose to block out what a speaker says about health risks. They may listen to a speech and think that the speaker’s message applies to other people, not them. In other words, they hear what they want to hear and ignore what they don’t want to hear.
