(A)

There is no doubt about it. The best way to learn new words is to do it unconsciously. I don’t mean while you are unconscious. I mean while you are unconscious of the fact that it is sinking in(被完全理解).

　　 That is how I learnt the 30,000 words in my mother tongue by living in an English-speaking world. I just picked them up. But some of them may be misunderstood. Now, to misunderstand does not mean not to understand. To misunderstand is to understand-but incorrectly.

　 The 5% mislearnt of all the words we “know” will be the least often used words, as the more often used words are less likely to be mislearnt. Some of these misunderstandings may live with all our lives, without ever knowing that we got them wrong.

　Many English teachers think that this natural method of learning words in one’s own mother tongue can be used for second language learning. They teach their students how to play the Guessing Game. “There’s no time to look up in your dictionaries all the new words you come across，” they will say. “You have to practise guessing what the word means from the context(上下文).”

　　 This method of guessing in second language learning does not work. It may succeed in many cases, but results in hundreds or thousands of wrongly-guessed meanings of words.

　　 And what’s more, there are more separate meanings than there are words themselves. Our learners’ dictionaries usually have many meanings or usages for each word. So dictionary use should be part of every language learning. A good dictionary is what makes self-learning possible.

　　 Don’t guess！ Look it up！

　 　While I was studied at school, I felt a great difficulty in learning my Latin translations. I was always very 　31 　in using a dictionary, and 　32 　it most difficult, while to other boys it seemed no 　33　 .

I formed an alliance(盟友) with a boy in the Sixth Grade. He was very clever and 　34 　read Latin as easily as English. My friend for his part was almost as 　35　 　troubled by the English essays he had to write for the headmaster as I was 　36　 　these Latin words. We agreed together that he could 　37 　me my Latin translations and that I should do his essays. The arrangement 　38 　wonderfully. The headmaster seemed quite 　39　 with my work, I had more time to myself in the morning. On the other hand, once a week　 40 　I had to compose the essays of my friend. For several months no difficulty 　41 　, but once we were nearly caught out.

One afternoon, the headmaster 　42 　my friend to discuss one essay with him in a lively spirit. “I was interested in this 　43 　you make here. I think you might have gone further. Tell me 　44 　you had in your mind.” The headmaster continued in this 　45 　for some time to the fear of my friend. However, the headmaster, not wishing to 　46 　an occasion of praise into 　47 　of fault-finding, finally 　48 　him go.
