I shook hands with my father in the truck，and for a long time he looked straight ahead and didn’t say a word.But I knew he was going to say a little to me.“I can’t tell anything，” he finally said.“I never went to college，and none of your brothers went to college.I can’t say don’t do this and do that，because everything is different and I don’t know what is going to come up.I can’t help much with money either，but I think things will work out.”
He gave me a new check?book.“If things get pushing，write a small check.But when you write one，send me a letter and let me know how much.There are some things we can always sell.” In four years all the checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars.My part?time jobs such as reading to the blind student and sitting with the teachers’ kids filled in the financial gaps.
“You know what you want to be，and they’ll tell you what to take，” my father went on.“When you get a job，be sure it’s honest，and work hard.” I knew that soon I would be alone in the big town，and I would be missing the cool winds and a life where your thinking was done for you.
Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old，broken Bible that he had read so often，the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbours.I knew he would miss it.I knew，though，that I must take it.
He didn’t say read this every morning.He just said，“This can help you if you will let it.”
Did it help? I got through college without being a burden on the family.I have been able to make money since.

It's not a new phenomenon, but have you noticed how many nouns are being used as verbs? We all use them, often without noticing what we're doing.
I was arranging to meet someone for dinner last week, and I said “I’ll pencil it in my diary”, and my friend said “You can ink it in”, meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one!
Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology. An obvious example is the word fax, which is a shortening of facsimile originally, an exact copy of a book or document. We all got used to sending and receiving faxes, and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising we'd fax it immediately. So, nouns turn into verbs in two easy stages. Then along came email, and we were soon all emailing each other madly. How did we do without it? I can hardly imagine life without my daily emails.
Email reminds me, of course， of my computer and its software, which has produced another couple of new verbs. On my computer I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think I'll want to look at again, thus saving all the effort of remembering their addresses and calling them up from scratch. I can do the same thing on my PC, but there I don't bookmark; I favorite—coming from “favorite pages”, so the verb is derived from an adjective not a noun． I wasn’t really sure whether people said this，but someone told me recently that they had favorited a site I was looking for and so they could easily give me its address.
In the late 1980s I noticed that lots of my friends had acquired pagers, and kept saying things like “I’ll page you as soon as I know what time we’re meeting”. They couldn't say it to me, though; 1 refused to have one． So my children bought me a mobile phone, now known simply as a mobile and I had to learn yet more new verbs. I can message someone, that is, I can leave a message （either spoken or written）for them on their phone．Or I can text them, write a few words suggesting when and where to meet, for example. How long will it be before I can mobile them, that is, phone them using my mobile? I haven’t heard that verb yet, but I’m sure I will soon. Perhaps I’ll start using it myself!
“I’ll pencil it in my diary” in the second paragraph probably means .
A. it was a firm arrangement B. it was an uncertain arrangement
C. the arrangement should be written as a diary D. he prefers a pencil to a pen
A website address can be easily found if it has been＿____.
A. emailed B. messaged C. favorited D. texted
Which of the following has not been used as a verb, yet?
A. message B. page C. email D. mobile
The best title for this passage is____．
A. New Verbs from Old Nouns B. The Development of the English language
C. New Technology and New words D. Technology and Language.
阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
While reading a book in English, every few lines of text, you run across a word or two that you don't know. You look up every new word in the dictionary. Bad move. All that does is slow you down. Even electric or CD - ROM (光碟) dictionaries can get in the way of your reading progress. A dictionary is like a road map. It can help you if you get lost and point you in the right direction. But if you stop to look at the “map” each time you take a step, you'll get nowhere fast.
On your English learning “journey”, a dictionary can be a helpful “travel companion” 
if it's not overused. To help you start thinking in English, use an English - to - English dictionary. Otherwise, you'll always depend on your native language and end up translating in your head.
A good dictionary can help you do more than just find the meaning of a word. It can help you verify (test and check) spelling, check word forms and grammar usage, find example sentences and learn pronunciation. Some dictionaries even provide exercises to teach you how to use their resources.
Take time to get to know your dictionary. Learn the pronunciation symbols. Understand what the abbreviations (缩写字) mean. Become familiar with the grammar codes that explain the usage for each word. Look for charts, diagrams and lists that might be useful in the future. You'll discover how rewarding it can be to make friends with your dictionary. And as they say, “A friend in need is a friend indeed”.

阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上。（请注意问题后的词数要求）
〔1〕There are many useful suggestions and pieces of advice that can help one to improve English. Here are some useful suggestions and new tips to increase one’s English language vocabulary.
〔2〕Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words. A broad grasp of vocabulary in the English language is based on understanding important expressions and “word combinations”, which means groups of words that often or always go together.
〔3〕Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Research shows that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions 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 exposed to（接触）, __________________. Keep a writing pad close to you. When you read, pay close attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to figure out its meaning from the context. Then look up the word in a dictionary.
〔4〕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.
〔5〕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.
