Passage Translation

To master a large vocabulary is crucial to the fluency in a foreign language. It is showed by the statistics which are unofficial but frequently quoted concerning the Cambridge First Certificate examination that those students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words are less likely to succeed in the exam. The latest research also indicates that native speaker of English knows at least 16,000 English words, when he has received education until he’s 18 or more. Unless you are proficient in a language such as Spanish or German, there is no shortcut to a large vocabulary: you have to depend on diligence and dedication. Of course, you can infer from context the

meaning of some new words you come across in reading., but often you have to consult a dictionary to clarify the exact meanings. A practical method to learn new words may be reading widely, especially reading those interesting and exciting.

Repeatedly, the same books is often beneficial to you: each time you read it you’ll learn different new words, and the familiar

context also helps you to engrave these new words on your mind deeply.

If you set out to do some business but failed, do not lose your confidence. There are great

differences between that “I failed three times” and that “I am a failure”. As long as you try to learn from you failure instead of holding a negative view about yourself or identifying with failure, you are very likely to succeed in the future. Have you ever thought that those who have failed again and again are always the victims of bad self-image? They failed often because of not external reasons but internal reasons. Countless examples verify that if those people could be prevailed on to change their view and set up positive

self-image, their performance would change miraculously. Success can come at any time, whenever you are thirty, forty or when it seems that you have failed all your life. Success in early years is sweet, but the late one is more tasty. U4

Passage Translation

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. U6

One day, we received an

invitation from my father to his sixtieth birthday party. Jenny

regarded it as my father’s actively reaching out to a reconciliation, so we should accept it. I was in the midst of abstracting an

important case and preparing for the coming examinations at that time, hence I only used the

simplest words to tell her no day to reconcile forever. My refusal apparently made Jenny depressed, but as a rational woman, she didn’t quarrel with me. She just tried to persuade me. But it only made me furious, thinking that Jenny made me upset deliberately. I must have been crazy them, because I did a thing for which I would never forgive myself-I shouted at Jenny and hurled the telephone at her. But once I threw it, I regretted. When I turned back to see her, she had disappeared.

I went out to look for her

everywhere, but in vain. I was scared to death, not knowing what to do next. When I was going to give up, I suddenly saw Jenny sitting in front of our house. I walked forward to her, saying “Jenny, I’m sorry-” But she interrupted my apology and

said, ”love means not ever having to say you’re sorry.” U8
