I was _36_ to see that it was an English dictionary, also known as a monolingual单语的 dictionary. _37_ it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one _38_, to be honest, I found it extremely _39_ to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and _40_ not fully understand the meaning. I was used to the _41_ bilingual(双语的) dictionaries, in which the words are _42_ both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt _43_ to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I _44_ that monolingual dictionaries are _45_ in learning a foreign language.As I found out, there is _46_ often no perfect equivalence(对应)between two _47_ in two languages. My aunt even goes so far as to 48_ that a Chinese “equivalent can never give you the _49_ meaning of a word in English! _50_ , she insisted that I read the definition(定义) of a world in a monolingual dictionary _51_ I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning. _52_, I have come to see what she meant. Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n) 53 number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 54 exposed to the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. 55 this, I can express myself more easily in English.36.A.worried 37.A.Because 38.A.but 39.A.difficult 40.A.thus 41.A.new 42.A.explained 43.A.offered 44.A.imagine 45.A.natural 46 A. at best 47.A.words 48.A.hope 49.A.exact 50.A.Rather 51.A.when 52.A.Largely 53.A.extra 54.A.repeatedly 55.A.According toB. sad B.

This time, which took place several years ago, seems as if it just happened.On an afternoon several years ago, my brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister's dress and picked out a beautiful skirt. "Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago. She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion." he said. I guess this was the occasion: it was the funeral (葬礼) of my sister, after her unexpected death.He took the skirt and put it on bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the funeral. Then he closed the drawer and turned to me, "Don't ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you're alive is a special occasion."I'm thinking about his words, and they've changed the way I live my life. I'm spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a kind of experience to enjoy, not to suffer. "Someday" and "one of these days" are losing their importance on my vocabulary. If it's worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now.Ever since that day, I have been trying very hard not to put off, hold hack or save anything that would add laughter and color to our lives. Every morning when I open my eyes.1 tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath, truly is a gift. So cherish every day and find the true meaning of your life.56.

On this show Professor Wang Qiang from New Oriental School hosts "From Word to World". He selects words with a deep cultural background and teaches useful phrases related to that word. Cartoons are also used to explain how to use the word in daily life. Listening to the radio may not be a new way to learn English but it is easy.
