For instance, it is beneficial to treat new words in different ways according to how （2）frequently they occur in everyday use: active words you must practice （3） over and over again :useful words you must （4）commit to memory; words that seldom occur in everyday situations require just a nodding （5）acquaintance. It also pays to （6）watch out for idiomatic ways of saying things in english. As idiomatic usage often causes difficulties for Chinese students, you must pay close attention to the way native speakers （7）communicate.Language learning is , in fact ,an active （8）process .Students who make a conscious effort to practice English, who seek out （9）opportunities to use what they have learned, are more successful than those who （10）rely on the teacher to do the whole job. Undoubtedly, it is all important to （11）put into practice through speaking and writing what you have （12）absorbed from reading and listening. 2. Fill in the missing words:Many of you are studying English and you may be wondering why ti is so difficult to learn. It is actually not that difficult to learn （1）if you know some basic facts （2）about the language and culture that （4）it reflects Perhaps the first thing you need to （4）know about English is that it is make （5）up of several other languages such （6）as French, German, Latin, Greek and Anglo-Saxon. In （7） addition ,there are words from Spanish in English and many American Indian words and names；（8）even some Chinese and Japanese words have found their way （9）into the English language. This borrowing of words from （10）other languages is one of the key reasons （11）for some of the difficulties that people meet with （12）while they are learning English.Unit2The story of Francis Chichester, as retold here is one of heroism and adventure in the face of great danger.（1）In spite of his suffering from lung （2）cancer,the 65-year-old Chichester was （3）determined to （4）accomplish his dream of sailing single-handed round the world. In August, 1966,he （5）set out form England on the first leg of his （6）voyage to Australia .After 107days as sea, he arrived in Sydney.Due to his weakened condition, his friends made repeated attempts to （7）dissuade him from going any further. He refused to （8）give up however; and after a few weeks rest he set off once again. When he arrived back in England in May 1967,he had （9）coverde28,500miles, a distance no one had （10）previously sailed alone. He was given a heros welcome.2.Fill in the missing words:The voyage began because I was terrified of Cape Horn If anything terrifies me , I must （1）conquer it.I had read terrible things written （2）about Cape Horn by people who had （3）succeeded in making the passage. All the water （4）between South America and the Antarctic is squeezed （5）through this narrow, shallow gap. You get waves 50 feet （6）high.I read a lot of books about the old clipper ships that used to （7）sail round the Horn, and my plan took, shape I would （8）follow the route of these great sailing vessels from England to Australia （9）round the cape of Good Hope and （10）then round Cape Horn back to England. Not only that, （11）but i would try to equal their average sailing time for these voyages. （12）As it turned out, I did not succeed. I （13）made mistakes. I did not go as （14）fast as they did. But I （15）did sail round the world single-handed. No one had （16）ever done that before. It is always satisfying to do something （17）that no one else has done. Unit3On the （1）occasion of the old ladys eightieth birthday, she waited eagerly to see what kind of present he daughter, Myra, would send to her. Since her first daughter, Enid, had died two years before, the old lady had （2）endured the loneliness of living by herself. It was （3）rare for Myra to visit her mother, but still, the old lady was proud of her. She felt sure that her daughter would celebrate her birthday with something special. As she waited for the （4）postman, the old lady （5）trembled with excitement because she was quite sure she would receive a lovely present. （6）After all, she thought, even if Myra paid little attention to her mother （7）at other times, today was a very special day. However, when the postman came, the old lady found to her （8）disappointment that, rather than choosing a special gift, Myra had simply sent her a cheque folded in a card.2.Fill in the missing words:AOld age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not （1）necessary for the old to be unhappy. （2）With old age should come wisdom and the ability to help others （3）with advice wisely given. （4）The old can have the joy （5）of seeing their children making progress （6）in life; they can watch their grandchildren （7）growing up around them; and , perhaps best of all, they can, （8）if their life has been a useful （9）one, feel the happiness of having come （10）through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time （11）when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to （12）continue the battle. B A Hollywood producer was determined to give his mother a birthday （1）present that would be better than （2）any his brothers were giving her. He heard about an amazing bird which （3）could talk in twelve languages and （4）sing ten famous operas. He immediately bought the bird and （5）sent it to his mother. It （6）cost him $50,000.The day after her （7）birthday, he phoned his mother.What did you think of the （8）bird , Mother? he asked eagerly. His mother （9）replied, Delicious!Unit4 It is （1）proposed in this article that television be （2）prohibit for a period of time each evening As （3）social scientists have long noted, excessive television watching damages a familys ability to communicate with one another; and may （4）actually lead to some forms of mental illness as well as a rising （5）rate of divorce. Forcing families to turn off their television set each evening may indeed may indeed be a way of bringing them （6）together. Therefore, this （7）proposal may well be a （8）worthwhile one. It would, however, （9）involve some difficulty in putting it into effect, as few Americans would be willing to give up a single moment of television time. 2 .Fill in the missing words: A Most people in the United States watch TV, even though they complain about television sometimes. Its great （1）fun to watch TV, and its easy. You （2）turn on the TV, sit down （3）in a comfortable chair, and see many （4）interesting things. The people on TV will （6）make you laugh and cry. They （6）will inform you and excite you. （7）From watching TV, you can learn about the （8）latest news from all over the world, （9）and you can learn about new developments （10）in science, art, literature, and technology. You can （11）watch sports on TV. You can watch the Olympics, （12）or a local sports event. Finally, （13）in some places, it is possible （14）to go to school by watching television. （15）There are special classes on TV （16）for high school and college students. A person （17）may get al good education at （18）home.These are some of the （19）reasons for watching TV. There are others. BThese days I dont watch television, （1）but a few years ago I（2） used to watch it every night. I was often a （3）little tired in the evenings and there are （4）few forms of entertainment that demand as （5）little effort as television. Unfortunately there are a large （6）number of people in my family; （7）some wanted to see one program （8）while others preferred another. I was happy to look at （9）any program, but the others spent a great （10）deal of time arguing each night and there was （11）no way of settling the matter except by selling the set. （12）Now everyone at home reads instead. Unit5During her high school days Linda made up her mind to write and illustrate(1) her own books. When she told her fellow students what she had decided to do, they burst into(2)laughter. Their laughter(3) left her deeply embarrassed(4), but she did not lose heart. Instead, she kept putting down on paper what she felt, refusing to believe that it took a genius(5) to do writing. After she got married Linda had to look after her children and do all the cooking, cleaning and laundry(6)for the family. But still she managed to fit her favorite(7) work in most of the time. So far she has written eight books, four of which have been published(8). Linda firmly believes that you can write a book so long as you set your mind on (9)it. It doesnt matter what qualifications(10) you have. What does matter is whether you have a great determination to succeed. 2 .Fill in the missing words: A laundry worker wanted to be a writer. On nights and weekends, the clack-clack of his(1) typewriter filled the house. He spent all his spare money on sending his manuscripts(2) to publishers. Everyone rejected them. One day the laundry worker read a novel that reminded him of(3) his own work. He sent his manuscript to the books publisher(4). The manuscript was then given to Bill Thompson, an editor of the publishing(5) house. It (6) had too many flaws. But (7) Thompson did believe the laundry worker had promise as a writer and encouraged him to try(8) again. Over the next 18 months, the laundry worker sent the editor two more(9) manuscripts. The editor rejected both(10). The laundry worker began working on(11) a fourth novel. But with bills rising he began to lose(12) hope.One night, he threw(13) his manuscript into rubbish bin. The next day, his wife took it out.You shouldnt (15)give up, she told him. Not when(16) youre so close. perhaps he no longer believed in himself(17), but his wife did. And so(18) did an editor hed never met, Encouraged , he (19) wrote on. When he finished(20), he sent the novel to Bill Thompson. Several day later he received a $3,000 advance, and(21) a best-seller novel was born.Unit6 Sam Adams seemed to be born an industrial engineer. Since his very childhood, he was an efficiency(1) expert, or so he thought. He was very well organized in his everyday life. Furthermore(2), he tried to get every family member organized, too. His amazing(3) efficiency in doing everything and his great powers of observation(4) provided him with a good foundation(5) for a career(6) in industrial engineering. After his graduation.,he got a job in a shirt factory to reorganize(7) the assembly(8) line. It was easy for him to spot the problems. Within a week, he was able to present his findings(9) to the management(10) and offer suggestions(11) for making the operations more productive(12) , such as broadcasting background(13) music, beautifying the environment, relieving(14) the boredom of the workers, and firing whoever was holding up(15) the work flow. Unfortunately(16), his efforts for quality control did not work out as he had expected.2 .Fill in the missing words:When our children were born, my wife Nancy gave up her job to look after them. A year ago , Nancy and I decided to change paces(1). Nancy was beginning to get bored(2) at home all day. I was working hard at the time, but I didnt enjoy(3) my job.
