Children may learn new words better when they learn them in the context of other words they are just learning – according to a new research from the University of East Anglia.
Researchers investigated how 18–24-month-olds learn new words – in the context of words they already know well and those they don't. The findings help explain how children learn new words and suggest a new way that parents and carers could help boost language development.
Previous research suggests that when children hear a word they do not know and see an object they have never seen in the context of some objects that they can already name, such as a toy or a ball, they guess that the new word refers to the new thing.
Dr. Larissa Samuelson from the university wanted to know if the strength of a child's knowledge of familiar things – how well they know what "cars" or "balls" are, for example – mattered for learning new words and remembering them. They asked 82 children to take part in the study and carry out two experiments among them. And then they got some really surprising findings.
"We had expected that a stronger knowledge of familiar words would be better for learning new words, but we found the opposite was true." Dr Samuelson said. "This new study suggests another way we might be able to help boost children's ability to remember new word-object links – by teaching them in the context of other things that they are just learning."
It seems counterintuitive, but it is perhaps because the less well-known items don't compete with the new words as much. If they learn new words in the context of playing with well-known items such as a ball or book, they don't process the new word as much.

I had always considered acupuncture (针灸) old-fashioned. But the drama of my recent strange illness and recovery changed my mind (complete).
Last month, after sleeping through a flight, I discovered I couldn't move my right arm and fingers. The doctors diagnosed me with neural (神经的) injury. I was scared. Luckily, Richard, an acupuncturist, offered (help) me.
I started my acupuncture treatment. Dozens of tiny needles (insert) across my arm and fingers. I dared not move, because even a small change of position could cause a sharp pain. After a few days, I could move my fingers. Two weeks (go) by before I could eat a meal with chopsticks. Within a month, my arm and fingers were almost back to (they) normal functions.
In that clinic, I made friends with many other patients and heard their (story). One lady, who became deaf two months ago, has recovered her hearing abilities. I was very surprised at magic these tiny needles are.
Acupuncture originated in China 2,000 years ago. Essentially, it functions improving the smooth flow of life force energy, (know) in Chinese as "qi".

For Chinese, it's a time for dragon boat racing and Zongzi(粽子). But across the Yellow Sea, South Korea, wrestling(摔跤)and swing play are the highlig
hts. However, both events go by the same name—the Dragon Boat Festival—which falls on May 5 of the lunar calendar.
One festival, two cultures: does one nation have the right to call its own? It has been reported that South Korea will apply(申请)to the United Nations Educati
onal, Social and Cultural Organization(UNESCO联合国教科文组织)to make the celebration its cultural heritage(文化遗产). If successful, people from other countries may see the Dragon Festival as a Korean creation.
As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation. “It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage ahead of China，” said Zhou Heping, deputy culture minister. The Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including the Dragon Boat event.
Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Viet Nam, as well as South Korea, the festival has mixed with and become part of local culture.
With this in mind, some experts say that it is meaningless to argue about which country the festival belongs to. “No one can deny that it came from China，” said Long Haiqing, an expert from Hunan Province. “But if all the countries involved can protect culture heritage together, they will all benefit.”
文章大意：现在，各国对于世界文化遗产的争夺非常激烈。像我国与韩国的端午节之争。

In northern Scotland there is a long, deep lake called Loch Ness. More than 200 meters deep, it is the largest lake in the UK. People say a big monster（怪兽）lives in its dark, cold waters. It weighs more than 1,000 kilos and is at least ten meters long. Some people say it has a head like a horse. Others say it looks like a snake. Many people travel to Loch Ness to look for this strange monster, but only a few people have seen it. At least, they say they have seen it.
The Loch Ness Monster is a famous legend（传说）. The first story about a monster in Loch Ness was told over 500 years ago, but the legend of the monster spread widely only in the twenties century. In 1933, a husband and wife reported that they saw a big monster in Loch Ness. Several people have taken photos, but at least one of them was a hoax（骗局）. During the 1960s, a team was formed to look for the monster. They took many photos and made movies, but they were never able to find a monster.
There is no real fact that a monster lives in Loch Ness, but there is also no fact that one doesn’t live. One thing is true about Loch Ness: there are a lot of tourists there.
