I always hated it when people asked me where I lived。 It was not that I did not like my home town，but just that it was called Panfromifwecanton！ Few people believed there was such a place， and even fewer people could say it.

Actually, it is quite easy to pronounce. All you have to do is to break it into syllables

Pan-from-if-we-can-ton. A syllable is a small unit of sound built around a single vowel sound.

The vowels are a, e, I, o, u (and y when it sounds like an i).

Most words can be pronounced by breaking them into syllables. That is why Mary Poppins found it so very easy to say the word supercalifragilisticexpialidocius. Can say it? Try!

Breaking a word into smaller parts can also help you to spell the word correctly. You pay attention to each sound, rather than slurring them together.

As well as breaking a word down into its sounds, you can break a word down into its units of meaning. For example, sometimes you will find that a long word is made up of smaller words you already know, such as overcoat, raindrop, handbag.

A word can be broken down into three main parts: a prefix, which comes at the beginning; a root, or base, which is the main part of the word; and a suffix, which comes at the end. The trick here is knowing what they mean because a lot of them come from Latin and Greek.

When you see a long word, don’t worry. Look at it carefully, break it down, and you’ll see it.

　 　 A．How difficult words are in the English language.

　 　 B．Learn words by breaking them down.

　 　 C．How words are made up of syllables.

　 　 D．Why foreigners find the English language difficult.

73．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

　 　 A．To help pronounce a word, first break it into syllables.

　 　 B．Syllables are not built around a vowel.

　 　 C．A, e, i, o, u, are the only vowels.

　 　 D．A word has four main parts.

74．From the passage, we can know that Panfromifwecanton is a ______.

　 　 A．sentence 　　　　　　 B．dictionary　　 　　 C．place　　 　　　　　 D．home

75．What can we infer from the passage?

　 　 A．There is no rule in the formation of English words.

　 　 B．There are rules in the formation of English words.

　 　 C．The meaning of long words is not determined by the short words they are made from.

　 　 D．You can not understand long words unless you use the dictionary.

May Paxton graduated from the Missouri School for the deaf near the year 1909. Three years later she went to see Dr. Richardson about becoming a nurse. Dr. Richardson had never heard of a deaf nurse. But she was impressed with her, and accepted May as a student nurse.

Dr. Richardson never regretted her decision. In fact, she was so pleased with May’s work that she later accepted two other deaf women as student nurses. The first was Miss Marian, who was hard of hearing. The second was Miss Lillie.

May and Marian did not know each other before Marian was hired by the hospital. Dr. Richardson introduced May to Marian. During the next two days, the two girls wrote notes to each other. Finally, other nurses asked Martian if she knew that May was deaf. Marian ran to the bedroom and asked May in sign if she really was deaf. May answered in sign. Then, the two girls burst into laughter(突然大笑).

May was always careful about following orders. Only once did she disobey Dr. Richardson. It took a lot of time to care for all the sick children, as a result, Dr. Richardson asked the nurses not to hold the new babies when they were crying. However, May heated to see the babies cry.

　 Some fish spend all their lives in the place where they were born. Salmon do not. Born in the fresh water of rivers, they migrate (迁徙) to the ocean when young, then go back to the rivers as adults.

　 When fall comes, it is time for salmon to spawn (产卵). They leave the ocean and travel to the beginning of the river where they were hatched (孵化). Sometimes these trips are more than 2,000 miles. On the long journey they have to fight against the current of the stream. Sometimes they even jump up waterfalls. When they reach the beginning of the river, they are often very tired from their long and difficult journey.

　 But they cannot rest. The mother fish makes a nest in the sand on the bottom of the river by slapping the sand with her tail. In this nest the mother lays her eggs and the father leaves his sperm. Then the mother covers the nest with sand leaves the baby fish to hatch.

　 The young fish hatch in the winter. Some species(种类) of salmon start the journey down the river to the ocean when they are a few inches long. They seem to be swimming backwards, but they are really carried downstream by the current. Others live in the river for two or three years before going to the ocean.
