Unit 1
Mastering a large number of words is eential to achieving fluency in a foreign language.An unofficial, but often quoted, figure for the Cambridge First Certificate examiniation suggests that students with a vocabulary of le than 3,500 words are unlikely to be succeful in the exam.Current research also suggests that native English speakers who have been educated up to 18 years old or beyond know at least 16,000 English words.And unle you already speak a language like Spanish or German, there are no short-cuts to a large vocabulary in English: you just have to rely on diligence and dedication.Of course you can figure out from the context the meanings of some new words you come acro in your reading, but more often than not you have to look them up in a dictionary in order to be clear about their accurate meanings.A practicable way to pick up new words is, perhaps, to read a lot, preferably stories that you find interesting or exciting.It often pays to read the same book over and over again: each time you read it you will learn different new words, and the familiar context helps to fix them in your mind.Unit 2

If you started on some venture and failed, do not despair / lose heart.There is a world of difference between ‘I have failed three times’ and ‘I am a failure.’So long as you do not hold a negative concept of self or identify with failures but try to learn from them, you stand a good chance to succeed in the future.Did it ever occur to you that those who fail repeatedly are often victims of a poor self image?Often their failures are due to internal causes rather than external causes.Numerous cases have borne it out that if they can be induced to change their viewpoint and construct a positive self image, miraculous changes may take place in their performance.Succe can come anytime—at thirty, forty or even after a lifetime of apparent failure.Early triumphs may be sweet, but succe in later life often tastes even better.Unit 4

Scientists are a small group of people who are striving to gain insight
into nature and seek for laws in the superficial disorder.They have a
special ability to think and analyze, and unlimited patience in observing
and collecting date.However , not all scientific discoveries can be
ascribed to abilities and patience;they usually connect closely with
creative imagination.Of course, the leap of imagination is often the
first step leading to discoveries.Moreover , scientists are famous for
their honesty.They put a high premium on honesty, mainly because that
honesty is cardinal to their career.Every theory they put forward has
to be further tested.Every error and lie are sure to be found.So, if
finding some evidence contradiction with their ideas, scientists modify
even abandon their ideas, instead of concealing them.In this way, they
accumulate an immense amount of knowledge, which can help us understand
ourselves and surroundings better.Unit 6
