Alice: Tom, my English teacher Miss Jones says my vocabulary is too 16 . She 17 me to read more after  18  . But I think I can just go and memorize words in the dictionary. That¨s a shortcut.

Tom: You¨d better not  19  that.  20  able to spell a word doesn¨t mean you can use it correctly. You need context (貧和猟)to decide the  21  meaning of a new word. And only after seeing it used in different contexts  22  really feel at ease in using it.

Alice: The dictionary explains the exact meaning of words,  23  ?

Tom: Right, but English words have different meanings.  24  the word `set¨ for example. This  25  word 58 meanings as a noun, 126 meanings as a verb, and 10 meanings as a participial adjective. How do you know  26  choose without the context?

Alice: Tom, you don¨t mean every English word has  27  many meanings!

Tom: Of course not! `set¨ is the word   28   the most meanings.

Alice: I see what you mean, Tom. Maybe I should  29  Miss Jones¨ advice.

Tom: You  30   should, Alice.

Alice: Sometimes I¨m a bit  31  because there are so many words in the English language.

Tom: It¨s true  32  English holds the record as the language with the greatest number of words 790,000.  33  , linguists (囂冱僥社)have estimated that no one uses more than 60,000 of these in a lifetime of writing and speaking, and only 5,000 words in conversation. Alice, work hard . Where there is a will, there is a way, I¨ll lend  34  , Alice.

Alice: All right, Tom. I¨ll try my  35  .
