整合式英語字彙百寶箱(書+Key)
適用程度-Pre-Intermediate
本書對於加強字彙的廣度和深度有獨特的方法，讓你自然而然學會字彙的語用，而且透過融入惑的寫作設計，讓你不知不覺增強了寫作能力。
*100個生活化的主題。
*超過650個融入式的寫作練習。
*5001個以上超高頻的詞彙。
*精心設計各種不同的詞語搭配，確實掌握字彙的語用。
*結合字彙、慣用語及諺語，全方位增強字彙能力。
本書目的本書的目的在於多認識單字並加以運用。書中共設計一百個主題，介紹數千個單字。除非懂得從練習中運用生字，否則生字將無用武之地。
何謂字彙字彙不只是單字而已。我們談到字彙時，指的是我們認識的單字以及運用單字的能力。
下面是了解單字的四種方式：
意義遇到生字時，首要之務便是知道它的意思。舉例來說，本書中出現一種魚類的單字，叫做salmon（鮭魚）。這是一種叫做salmon的魚，就是如此簡單。
發音當學會生字，一定要唸得出來，而且一定要搞清楚重音落在哪個音節上。如果不確定生字的發音，可以請教老師或查詢附發音光碟片的字典。詞彙搭配詞彙搭配是單字互相搭配使用的方式。若只知道risk（危險）這個單字並無多大用處，重點是要知道與risk搭配使用的動詞take，如──take a risk（冒險），也就是risk 必須搭配take使用。同樣地，deep（深）與shallow（淺）是與water（水）搭配使用的 形容詞。本書中可以找到許多詞彙搭配的練習。
用語用語是二、三、四個以上一定會一起使用的單字。例如，如果到商店，售貨員走過來，可以回答：“I\m just looking.”（我隨便看看）。若想多了解一個人，可以問：“What do you do for a living?”（你做什麼工作？）
該把單字翻譯成中文嗎？把單字翻成中文並沒有錯，這是確認生字意義最快的方式。本書也有幾個把基本字彙翻譯成中文的練習。請牢記，翻譯是翻整句話，而不是只翻單字而已。用英漢字典查出單字意義後，再找本好的英英字典，找出與單字有關的例句。
字彙為何重要？字彙之所以重要是因為內含我們想要表達的意思。文法把各組單字結合成句子，但整句話的意思多半繫於單字。懂愈多單字，溝通愈無障礙。可以用單字來表達許多事情，卻無法單靠文法表達。
英文總共有多少單字？與其他的語言相比，英文文法相當簡單容易：英文沒有格、名詞沒有分性別。然而，英文單字遠超過世上其他語言─共有數十萬字。英文常會有兩個單字表達同一意思的情形，但其他語言可能只有一字可以表達，如相同的事物可說the same 或identical；問題困難可以hard 或difficult表示。
如何學習字彙？增進字彙的主要方法便是定期大量閱讀英文。身為學生，也可以做類似本書的練習來增加字彙。本書整理好字彙，將意義相近的單字收錄在一起，共分為一百個單元。第七頁會教你充分利用本書的方法。
文法很重要嗎？字彙與文法同樣重要。懂的字彙愈多，談話的內容愈多；的文法愈好，便能表達的愈流暢、愈正確。
1.正式開始練習各單元之前，請先做本頁的練習。這幾個練習是本書所有單元練習的代表。做完練習後，再翻到後面的解答檢討答案。
2.不一定要從第1單元開始練習，可以按照自己的順序練習。
3.盡量每天練習一點。不要一天密集練習四個小時後，荒廢一段時間才再練習。
4.活用解答。答案並非機密，而是協助之用。盡量在做完練習之後，再對答案。

How culture matters
How culture matters
May 29th, 2011 by Barbara.
If you walk into a neighborhood in my part of Japan, you’ll see a display like this somewhere near the entrance. It’s a map showing all of the houses in a neighborhood, and the names of families who live in the houses. Do you have something like this where you live?
None of the streets in the neighborhood are named, but the blocks are numbered. So address plates look something like this:
Addresses start with the big picture and move to the smaller details. In this case, we’re told the larger neighborhood (Mitsugshira 三ツ頭), then the smaller division within the neighborhood (2 chōme 二丁目), then the block within the chōme, and finally the number of the house within the block.
Imagine looking at the large google map of Japan and gradually zooming in until finally you’re looking at one house. That’s the feeling behind explaining where someone lives.
This is the opposite of the way I grew up thinking of location, which was moving from the small to the large (number, street, city, state).
Both the way we describe location, and the way we think about location, are connected to our culture.
In one of my favorite (and shortest) TED Talks, Derek Sivers shares several surprising ways that culture shapes our way of looking at things: Weird or just different?

Dog rescued after quake going back to its owner
Dog rescued after quake going back to its owner
By Brian Walker, CNNApril 4, 2011 9:22 a.m. EDT
Ban -- spotted by a helicopter rescue team almost 2 kilometers off shore -- will be reunited with her owner Monday.STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Dog was found floating on the top of a house
Owner recognized dog in video with rescuers
More than a dozen cats and dogs that have been found in recent weeks
(CNN) -- A dog rescued off the Japanese coast floating on top of a house is on her way back to her owner Monday.
The dog wagged its tail and jumped up to a woman described by local media as a relative of the owner as she collected her to deliver back to her family for what promises to be a warm reunion.
It turns out the lucky dog's name is "Ban," and she was originally living in Kessenuma before being separated from her master after the March 11 earthquake, tsunami and subsequent fire that swept through the coastal village.
It's not clear how the 2-year-old mixed breed Ban and her master were separated, but Kessenuma is located in Miyagi prefecture, which was virtually wiped out by the disaster three weeks ago.
Dog rescued after being adrift on roof RELATED TOPICS
Japan
An employee at the Miyagi Animal Care Center told CNN by phone that the owner had been staying in a temporary relocation center in Sendai since being evacuated from Kessenuma.
The 50-year-old man reportedly recognized Ban after footage of the brown and black dog was shown being hugged by Japanese rescue workers while being unloaded from a boat in Shiogama Port this past Friday.
Japanese Coast Guard teams had spotted Ban during a helicopter patrol over debris fields nearly two kilometers off shore.
When a patrol boat got the hungry and shivering dog, they found no identification on her other than a brown collar.
The prefectural animal center says it is still keeping more than a dozen cats and dogs that have been found in recent weeks in hope of further happy endings like the one Ban appears to have gotten.
