For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass Some 60, 000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to 1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them Its partly true that Dickens style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life Its partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progressBut its also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself al the center No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible-and important for our own culture-to understand how he made himself a lasting one5.

Here are some of them to increase ones English language vocabulary. Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words. It is based on understanding important words and expressions. Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Researches show that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions（重复）to really make a word part of your vocabulary. Since most words are learned from how they are used in context（上下文）, the more words one is shown, the better vocabulary one will have. Keep a piece of paper close to you. When you read, pay close attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to understand its meaning from the context. Then look up the word in a dictionary. Remember that if you do not use English words that you have just learned in conversation or writing, you will forget them very quickly. So the best way to learn new words effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing. Remember also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English. Building vocabulary is a life-long task. Remember: “In the beginning was the word.” Your future could depend on how rich your vocabulary is. It will also determine the quality of your communication.8.

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.To master a word, you need to repeat it 10-20 times.B.If you remember a word, you are still able to forget it if you dont use it.C.It doesnt take long to build ones vocabulary.D.Practice is very important in fluent spoken English.10. The best way to learn new words is _.A.trying to use them while speaking and writingB.writing them down over and over againC.always looking them up in the dictionaryD.reading them loudly over and over again11. What is the passage mainly about?A.How to enrich your English vocabulary.B.How to have a good conversation in English .C.Why context is important in learning English.D.How to improve the quality of communication.DA month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train Yet, I was determined to go ahead I remember back to my 7th year in school In my first PE class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball I didnt do either well He later informed me that I was“not athletic”The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic It was all about the battle against my own body and mind A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldnt even find the finish line I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myselfShortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces （鞋带）became untied So I stopped to readjust Not the start I wanted!
