28、hink-that are so far away that they cant be seen at all.And he also knew that all these stars and our own bodies and everything else are made up of atoms so tiny they cant be seen even with the best microscope.He thought there must be some rules to explain why everything in the universe,big and litt
29、le,acts as it does.Why dont the stars moving around in the sky bump into each other?What makes the tiny atoms stick together to form all the different things there?Albert Einstein thought and thought until he believed he had some of the answers.And the people started asking him questions because he
30、had answers for many things that scientists had been trying to figure out for many,many years.Text A Words Can Give You Power You may wonder why you should improve your vocabulary.Why learn the fancy words that you wont ever use?The main reason is to receive and send your thoughts more effectively a
31、nd correctly.A person with a good vocabulary is not only impressive,but he or she is better able to communicate and understand complex thoughts as well.Perhaps the most important reason for vocabulary development is that a good vocabulary and success are synonymous.And a good vocabulary can be an ec
32、onomic advantage.An institution for testing peoples attitudes found that a good vocabulary is the only characteristic common to successful people.It has also found that the highest scores on vocabulary tests have been made by people getting the highest pay.This is because words are“tools of thoughts
33、”.It is through words that people grasp the thoughts of others and do their own thinking.A good vocabulary also means academic success.There is a direct link between verbal ability and scores on an intelligence or achievement test.Many teachers think that the results of the IQ test and a vocabulary
34、test will be about the same.And both predict success.4 In addition,your vocabulary also determines the shape and size of your world.It tells whom you can or cannot talk with.It says what books you can read and what ideas you can understand.It is the main link to other people.And the best thing about
35、 vocabulary is that unlike your height or the shape of your face,its something you can easily control and improve.5 The best way to improve your vocabulary is through reading.Successful people read a lot.6 We learn nearly all of our active vocabulary through the context in reading.We learn what a ne
36、w word means from the words and sentences around it.Only once in a while do we give up and look the word up in a dictionary.But this is not laziness:its a good way to learn.Words that we learn through their use in context are much more likely to stay with us than words we memorize by themselves,as i
37、n a list or in a dictionary.7 The words we learn through reading will improve not just our reading vocabulary but our listening,speaking and writing vocabularies as well.It is these four types of vocabulary that have a direct impact upon our daily lives.They control how well we understand what we he
38、ar or read and how well we speak or write.So we can see that vocabulary is much more than“fancy words you wont use”.It represents your thoughts.It gives you social,economic,and academic power.New Words and expressions improve /impru:v /v.改进，改善改进，改善 fancy /fnsi/a.花哨的；装饰的花哨的；装饰的 effectively /ifektivli
