D. VOCABULARY ACQUISITION
B: Mom, I feel awful, I think I’d better stay home from school today.
W: I’m sorry you’re not feeling well. What’s the problem?
B: I have a stomachache, my head hurts, and I have a sore throat
W: Well, we'd better take your temperature and make sure you don't have a fever.
Keep this thermometer under your tongue for a minute or two. Remind me to
call your teacher and tell her you're sick later on today. All right, let's check. Oh
dear, you've got a fever. Your temperature is 103, so I think we need to give
Dr.Thompson a call.
B : I don't understand how my head can be so hot when my body feels so cold.
W: That's called the chills, and they often come along with fever. You've certainly
got a fever.
B : But what about my stomachache, and my sore throat?
W: Well, that's another reason we need to go see Dr. Thompson, because when you
have a stomachache, fever, chills, and a sore throat, it usually means that you
have something more serious than a common cold. I think you've probably got
the flu.
B : I hope it's not too serious, because we've got a basketball game Thursday, and
the coach told me that I'll probably start.
6
W: If you want to recover from the flu in time for your game, you'd better get
plenty of rest, take the medicine the doctor gives you, and drink plenty of
water.
B : I promise I will, Mom. Let's go and see Dr. Thompson now.

West High School. It was five minutes before the end of the game, the score was
60-60, I had the ball, and I heard my coach shouting at me to shoot.
So I started to jump, but suddenly I found myself lying flat on my back on the
court! A West High player had accidentally knocked me down. I tried to stand
up, but my ankle hurt so much that I was unable to walk. Two of my teammates
had to help me leave the court. My ankle started to swell up, so the team doctor

brought me a bag of ice to put on it. The ice was cold, but it felt good on my
ankle.
When the swelling on my ankle reduced a little, my coach asked the doctor if
he thought I would be able to play any more. But the doctor replied that I would
have to sit out the rest of the game and come to see him the next day. Not only
did I receive an injury, but we also lost the game by a score of 68-66. What a

____________
2. It only takes _____________ for an email to reach its recipient.

________________
4. It feels good to receive a fast _______________ after you email someone.
Exercise:
1. _______________ The small size of the study

2. . _____________ Internet’s popularity in statistical term
3. _______________ The positive impacts of the Internet on communication
33
4. _______________ The reduced in-person communication time

5. _______________ Using the Internet in a smart way
M: Computers have transformed the way people communicate. In some ways this
transformation is good, but in other ways it could be harmful. Statistics show that
millions of people use the Internet every day. People shop online, play games, and
search for information. Studies also show that people use the Internet mainly for
communication.
The Internet has made communication fast and convenient. Email can travel
anywhere within seconds. Chat rooms include people from all over the world.
People can even make Internet telephone calls.
However, this type of communication is very different from what people did in the
past. People spend less time talking face to face. They might "chat" for days
without being in the same room with a real person. They also might communicate
with many people at the same time. Some researchers think this is unhealthy. One
study on Internet use found that people who used the Internet a lot were lonely.
Also, they did not communicate as much with members of their family.
Many people have criticized this study. They say it did not include enough people
and that loneliness is hard to measure. In my opinion, all types of communication
are good. It is great to email someone and get a fast response. It is also nice to talk
face to face. We can do both. The Internet is a fantastic tool. We should use it
wisely to benefit from it.

G : Hi. My name is Sandy. Welcome to physics, my favorite class. Although there are
30 students in our class, only six of us are girls.
Most of my friends don't like science as much as I do. They are convinced
that science and mathematics are "boys' subjects." They say that boys learn
about science and mathematics by playing with toys like building blocks, racing
cars, and simple machines, while girls play with toys like dolls and tea sets. They
say their parents didn't do science experiments with them or encourage them
to learn math.
Well, that wasn't the case with me! I played with dolls, too, but my parents
also built up my confidence in science and math. They used long plastic rods,
which are like sticks, to help me learn addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division. For my eighth birthday, they gave me a kids' chemistry set, which
helped me do all sorts of cool experiments! Whenever we went to the park, my
parents asked me different questions about the plants and animals that we saw.
When we got home, we looked up the answers together.
In school, my teachers were surprised. They were used to boys giving all the
answers in science class. They were impressed with my science exam scores. I
have lots of confidence in myself. I know that boys are not smarter than girls in
science and math classes. I just wish I could convince my friends!

Autumn, or fall, is the season between summer and winter. The days become
shorter, and the air gets cooler. Trees sense these changes, so they start
preparing for colder weather.
Trees that have leaves block water and food from coming through the branches
to the leaves. When this happens, the leaves die. They fall off the tree or the
wind blows them away. This is why autumn is usually called fall in America. As
the leaves start to die, they appear to change from green to red, yellow, orange,
or brown.
Actually, the leaves are really these colors all year long. They look green because
of a chemical called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll works with the sun to help the
trees make food. In autumn, when there is less sun, the tree cannot make
chlorophyll, so the green color fades. This reveals other colors, like red and
61
yellow, that were always in the leaves.

Like trees, animals also sense changes in the cooler autumn climate. Animals
that hibernate eat a lot during autumn. They gain weight to store energy in the
form of fat. They use this energy to survive the winter while hibernating. Many
birds survive the cold in a different way: they leave. Each year, many birds
migrate south to warmer climates during autumn. They migrate north again in
the spring. Not a bad idea if you ask me! After all, who would refuse a mid-
winter trip to sunny Thailand?

B: The Mona Lisa is one of the most famous paintings in the world. It was
painted by the great Italian artist, Leonardo da Vinci, between the years 1503 and
1505. The portrait was done with oil paint on a simple piece of wood. The portrait
shows a woman in front of a landscape with mountains. Many people believe that
the model for the painting was the wife of an important man in the area. However,
some people now think that da Vinci actually drew a picture of himself. They say
the face looks similar to his. Apparently, da Vinci loved the painting so much that
he carried it with him at all times until he sold it to the king of France.
The portrait is famous for several reasons. The best-known reason is for Mona
Lisa's unusual smile. It is difficult to say if she is being pleasant or looking arrogant.
Another reason the painting is famous is that it was stolen from an art museum in
1911. Both France and Italy sent people to look for the lost painting. It was then
found two years later in a hotel in France. It is currently on display at the Louvre
Museum in Paris. People from all over the world go to the museum each year to
see the Mona Lisa. In fact, the painting has so much appeal today that it has been
copied many times.
