Somehow he learned to make words. As the centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. Each contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not need all these. Only a few thousand words are used in everyday life.The words you know are called your vocabulary. You should try to make your vocabulary bigger. Read as many books as you can.

If you want to memorize something, you must make a “picture”. If the picture is silly, strange and colorful, you will remember it better. For example, Im trying to remember the word “smiles”. An easy way to do this is to imagine there is a “mile” between the first letter and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the world!MILLIEMemory is connected with our feelings. For example, if someone says “This is a spider,” and then puts a large spider on your hand, you will probably remember the word “spider”! When some dramatic things happen, we usually remember them well, and we also remember where we were and what we were doing. For example, 98% of older people in the USA can remember where they were when they heard about the death of President John F Kennedy in 1963.54.

The building is on a large, empty plain ten kilometers from the nearest town. Nine of the soldiers escaped, but one soldier could not get out. One rescue worker from the army talked to our news team.We have just rescued the soldier! At first, we couldnt open the windows because they were all closed securely. However, we got in through a window. It was difficult to get beyond the window because wood from the roof blocked the way. We finally found the soldier. He was unconscious so we dragged him out of the building. The main thing is he was not seriously hurt.The police are looking for a man. The man disappeared after a lucky day. He won a lot of money from horse racing. On the same day, he succeeded in getting the right numbers in the lottery.Including the lottery, he won several million US dollars. The police do not know what happened to the man. They say perhaps criminals captured him and seized his money, or maybe he decided to celebrate by taking a world trip.61.

How much money did the man win in all?_DWild animals are important to us. They live together with us on the earth. If there are no animals on the earth, we will not live on, either. So we should take good care of them to help the earth live a healthy life.But some people still dont realize the importance of protecting them. They kill wild animals for food and other things. Every day there are many wild animals being killed. So lots of wild animals have died out. We cant see them any more. Today the number of wild animals is becoming less and less. If people dont protect them, they will all die out. If this goes on there will be no animals left on the earth.Luckily many people have begun to realize the importance of protecting wild animals. They ask others to stop killing wild animals. They teach others about the importance of protecting wild animals. Now many countries have made some laws (法律) to protect wild animals and to stop people from killing them.Protecting wild animals is the duty of each of us. We should do our best to protect them because protecting them is protecting ourselves too.65. Why is the number of wild animals becoming less and less today?_66.
