Project: Create your own word bank
1. 分析文章内容, 并找出有关学习英语的建议的关键词
　　Learning English just like learning any other language is hard work, so my first advice is to spend much time practicing using English every day. Besides, we should listen to the teacher and take notes carefully in class. Go over what is learnt regularly and finish doing our homework carefully. Listen to English radio programmes, read English stories and newspapers, watch English films and TV programmes, keep a diary in English and attend English debates and speech contests. If we make mistakes, correct them at once and try not to make the same mistakes. What’s more, we should look up new words in the dictionary before class and prepare each lesson carefully before class. I believe if we work hard and have good ways of learning English, we will learn English well.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn(excerpt)
I knew I was all right now. Nobody else would come a-hunting after me. I got my traps out of the canoe and made me a nice camp in the thick woods. I made a kind of a tent out of my blankets to put my things under so the rain couldn’t get at them. I caught a catfish and haggled him open with my saw, and towards sundown I started my camp fire and had supper. Then I set out a line to catch some fish for breakfast.
When it was dark I sat by my camp fire smoking, and feeling pretty satisfied; but by and by it got sort of lonesome, and so I went and set on the bank and listened to the current swashing along, and counted the stars and drift logs and rafts that came down, and then went to bed; there was no better way to put in time when you are lonesome; you can’t stay so, and you soon get over it.
And so for three days and nights. No difference—just the same thing. But the next day I went exploring around the island. I was boss of it; it all belonged to me, so to say, and I wanted to know all about it; but mainly I wanted to put in the time. I found plenty of strawberries, ripe and prime; and green summer grapes, and green razzberries; and the green blackberries were just beginning to show. They would all come handy by and by, I judged.
Well, I went fooling along in the deep woods till I judged I wasn’t far from the foot of the island. I had my gun along, but I hadn’t shot nothing; it was for protection; thought I would kill some game nigh home. About this time I nearly stepped on a good-sized snake, and it went sliding off through the grass and flowers, and I ran after it, trying to get a shot at it. I clipped along, and all of a sudden I bounded right on to the ashes of a camp fire that was still smoking.
My heart jumped up among my lungs. I never waited for to look further, but unlocked my gun and went sneaking back on my tiptoes as fast as ever I could. Every now and then I stopped a second among the thick leaves and listened, but my breath came so hard I couldn’t hear nothing else. I slunk along another piece further, then listened again; and so on, and so on. If I saw a stump, I took it for a man; if I trod on a stick and broke it, it made me feel like a person had cut one of my breaths in two and I only got half, and the short half, too.

《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》(节选)
马克·吐温
　　我知道这回我就没事了。再也不会有人来找我了。我从独木舟上拿下来我带的东西, 在密林深处给自己搭了个舒服的小窝儿。我用毯子做了个帐篷把东西放在下面, 这样, 下雨就淋不湿了。我捉到一条鲶鱼, 拿锯把它拉开, 临近太阳落下时, 我生起篝火吃晚饭。然后, 我把鱼线放好, 为明天早饭捉几条鱼。
　　天黑了, 我坐在火旁抽烟, 感觉很惬意, 可是, 很快又有些孤独, 于是, 我就走过去, 坐在河岸上, 听听河水哗哗向前流动的声音, 数数天上的星星, 还有顺水漂下来的浮木和木排, 再回来睡觉。你孤独的时候, 没有更好的办法消磨时光, 你又不能一直这样, 过一会儿就没事了。
　　就这么着过了三天三夜。没有一点儿变化——都是老样子。但是第四天, 我在岛上, 四处探险。我是它的主人, 它全都属于我, 姑且这么说吧, 并且, 我想弄清楚整个岛的情况, 但是, 主要还是想消磨时光。我找到了很多草莓, 又好又熟; 还有夏季的青葡萄和绿山莓, 青的黑莓刚长出来, 过些时候, 它们就可以随手摘下来吃了。
　　我就这么在密密的树林里傻转悠, 一直到了离岛尾不远的地方。我带着枪, 但是, 什么也没打, 枪是作为防卫用的; 离家近时, 我想打点野味。正想着, 我险些踩上一条大蛇, 它顺着草地和花丛溜走了。我追赶它, 想开枪打它。我跑得飞快, 突然, 刚好踩在一堆篝火灰烬上, 它还在冒烟。
　　我的心一下子被提到嗓子眼儿上了。我来不及等着仔细察看, 就拉下枪栓, 踮着脚尖尽快往回溜。我不时地停下一会儿, 躲进密林里听听。但是, 我喘气太重, 别的什么也听不见。我又向前走一段, 再听听, 就这么走走听听。如果我看见树桩, 就当它是人, 如果我踩着树枝, 把它碰断, 就觉得像是有人把我的一口气掐成了两截, 我只剩了半口气, 还是那半口短的。
