Coin confusion

Rachel looked through troubled eyes at his sister and said, “1 wouldn't have thought Eric would be a thief. His sister Sarah replied, “Whoa, that's a    accusation to make against your best friend!”

         Rachel remembered two days ago when he had brought out his coin collection for Eric to    .At the end of that day, Rachel's mother had asked him to do her a favor，so he had asked his friend,“1s it okay if I leave you for a few minutes?" Eric had said, "Go ahead. I'll clean up here,"      at the piles of coins on the floor.

         When Rachel had returned, it never occurred to him to    his coins until two days later that he realized some quarters were     .

         Sarah said, “Why don't you just ask him?”

         “Ask him what? Hey, Best Friend, did you     my coin collection?” Rachel thought for a moment,     if that would be a good idea. The theft of his collection left him with a feeling of    .“How could I have misjudged my friend's    ?"

         The next day Rachel went over to  Eric's house. Eric was acting funny sort of nervous, like he couldn't be    . In fact, Rachel thought Eric acted like someone with a secret. Anger blossomed （产生）as  Rachel watched Eric pretend to be kind,     Eric had obviously stolen from him. Rachel finally could not stand it anymore and stood up. Suddenly, Eric    ,“I can't stand it anymore!” Rachel was astonished at hearing his own      burst forth from his friend! Only, instead of sounding     , Eric sounded excited. He pulled something from underneath the chair.

         "Go to open it! I was going to wait until your birthday, but I can't wait1” Slowly, Rachel lifted the top of the     . Laid out in front of him were all of the quarters from his coin collection. Each quarter was in its own    in a new collection case.  Each quarter shone like it was new.

1.

Don’t choose a rather difficult book or a too easy one for yourself to read. A book full of new words will make you feel discouraged quickly. To understand those new words, you have to turn to the dictionary quite often. It seems that you are not reading the book but the dictionary. It has no fun at all! On the contrary, a too easy will only waste your time and cannot do any help. The two extremes may at last make you give up reading. So it’s better for you to find a proper book with no more than five new words on each page.

2.

  If you come across a new word, do not look it up in a dictionary as quickly as possible. Leave it alone and guess the meaning of it based on the content of the text. This ability is quite necessary in reading. If you know your guess is right later, you will be highly excited at your “success”, and your interest in reading is well stimulated. If a word really prevents you from understanding the whole passage, turn to the dictionary by then. I am sure you can remember this word very well, as it has left you such a deep impression for its “troublesome image”.

3.   

  To comprehend what you are reading, you should think while you are reading, then form your own ideas on some special issues. Try to scribble some lines—a very short journal, to express your ideas. Your writing does not need to be quite formal but very expressive. This practice can make you communicate with the original English authors. Day by day, your way of thinking in English will turn into a native way, which is quite important for English writing.

4.

   Language has its own beauty, no matter Chinese or English. Don’t merely take English as a “test”. Take it as an “entertainment” instead and you will enjoy it through learning. Maybe you should find some beautiful literary works such as a prose or a poem to read, if you like. Try to read them as loudly and passionately as you can. During this process, not only can you enjoy yourself by the great emotions of the writers, but also your pronunciation and your manner of speaking English will be improved.

5.

  The last but not the least, keep on reading. If you cannot keep it as a habit, you will suffer from paying without gaining.
