In my bag I always carry the same essential items: my keys, my purse, some loose change, my mobile phone and my little blue vocabulary notebook. This year I am living abroad in Germany and I am trying to learn as much German as possible. I always knew that living abroad would be a great way to learn a foreign language but one thing I didn’t realize was how many new words and phrases I would come across every day! I see and hear new words everywhere; the announcements in the train station; menus in cafes; on social media; on the local newspaper and of course from my German-speaking friends.

At first I was slightly upset by the large amounts of German I didn’t understand. Speaking German in Germany is definitely very different from that in the classroom; I kept on looking up new words and by the end of the day I had forgotten most of them already. It was very frustrating. After a month of worrying that I would never be able to improve my language skills, I went to the stationery shop and bought a small notebook which easily fit into my handbag or even into my back pocket! I set myself the goal of writing five new words or phrases a day into my little blue book and soon enough it became one of my most valuable language-learning tools.

I don’t have any rules about which words I write down. Most days I write down words that I learn from my colleagues at work, words that I don’t understand in reading or words that I have learned from seeing them in context. For example, I have learned the names of many fruits and vegetables from looking at their labels in the supermarket (a very unexpected source of vocabulary!) and I have learned many words that I have heard on TV or on the radio. It doesn’t even matter if I know how to spell a new word straight away. If I hear a word but I don’t know how to spell it, I write down how I think it sounds and look it up later.

My little blue vocabulary book is now like my close friend. We go everywhere together. Setting this small daily goal has made me feel much more in control of my language teaming and I am already seeing an improvement. I will continue to use it for the rest of my stay in Germany and also when I return to university at home in September.

1.What can we conclude from the first paragraph?

A. New words are all around you in a foreign country.

B. Walking in the street is a good way to learn a language.

C. Life is really hard for anyone to live in a foreign country.

D. The author is skilled in learning a second language.

2.What was the author’s response when facing difficulty?

A. He felt helpless and hopeless. B. He was terrified.

C. He didn’t take a negative attitude. D. He set a high goal for himself.

3.What words will the author put down in the notebook?

A. The words that his teacher explained in classes.

B. He has no rules about which words to write down.

C. He asked his friends to tell new words and phrases.

D. The words he noticed in the shop or supermarkets.

4.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Learning German. B. My experience. C. The handbag. D. My notebook.

How can we reduce the risk?

There are four general approaches to dealing with volcanic（火山似的）dangers.We can try to keep the danger from occurring—often an impossible task.We can try to change its path or reduce its impact on existing development. We can take steps to protect future development.We can also do our best to have disaster response plans in place before they are needed.

Removing the Threat

Clearly,there is no way to stop an eruption.We can,however,attempt to reduce the eruption’s effects by strengthening structures,for example,building protective works such as walls to make lava（熔巖）flow away from developed areas.Such efforts can be and have been successful,but are of limited use in a large-scale（范圍）eruption.

Planning for the Future

Protecting future development from volcanic dangers is a simple task.Before building houses,we should judge the risk.If the risk seems too great,a safer location should be found.This type of planning is very effective,but all too often,people are drawn to the lush（蔥郁的）,rolling land of a quiet volcano.

Disaster Preparedness（預案）

When a volcano comes to life,a few weeks may not be enough to avoid a tragedy.Planning is the key to saving lives.Well before the warning signs occur,people must be educated about volcanic dangers.Escape plans must be in place.Communication between scientists,officials,the media,and the general public should be practiced.Emergency measures must be thought out and agreed upon.

If you doubt the importance of these efforts,take another look at past volcanic tragedies,such as the eruption of Nevado del Ruiz.Communication failures left the town of Armero unprepared for escape.When a deadly mudflow came down the slope（斜坡）,21,000 people—90 percent of the town’s people—died.

1.The passage is intended for_______.

A. the general public B. architects

C. adventurers D. geographers

2.When building houses,people tend to______.

A. judge volcanic dangers carefully

B. take volcanic dangers seriously

C. live near a quiet volcano

D. find a safer place far away from a volcano

3.The writer mentioned Nevado del Ruiz to prove______.

A. the failure to keep volcanic dangers from happening

B. the importance of preparing for a volcanic eruption

C. the bravery of the people in Armero Town

D. the uncertainty of volcano’s damage
