Listen to how words sound
Many people won't remember tricky words unless they come across them frequently.But if you hear a word that you think sounds interesting,you become word conscious（有意识的）and start using it yourself,says Neuman.
Join a book club
"Book clubs are a wonderful strategy to learn new words," says Neuman.Not only will it force you to set aside time in your day to read,but it's also a good way to discover books you might not normally be drawn to.
Listen to the radio
Those types of programs can expose you to topics you may not be familiar with.Don't miss these middle school vocabulary words adults still don't know.
Pay attention to your surroundings
Next time you walk down a busy street or take a walk in the park,try to describe what you're seeing as much as possible inside your head.
Read,read,read
Even if you don't stop to look up every single foreign word,chances are you can improve vocabulary simply by figuring out（想出）their meaning based on the context.

ospital,she put him in my lap,saying, "I promised you a gift,and here it is." What an honor!I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own.I played with it day and night.I sang to it.I told it stories.I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning,however,I found its bed empty.My doll was gone!I cried for it.Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital.It had a fever.For several days,I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as "hopeless" "pitiful" and "dying"，which sounded ominous.
Christmas was coming. "Don't expect any presents this year." Dad said,pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. "If your baby brother lives,that'll be Christmas enough." As he spoke,his eyes were filled with tears.I'd never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning.Dad jumped out of bed to answer it.From my bedroom I heard him say,"What？He's all right？" He hung up and shouted upstairs. "The hospital said we can bring Richard home!" "Thank God! " I heard Mum cry.From the upstairs window,I watched my parents rush out to the car.I had never seen them that hap

Most people follow others blindly mainly under the effect of peer（同龄人）pressure.Some people also feel it safe to follow a large number of people.In some rare cases it might be right to follow the crowd（众），but in most cases this can be one big mistake.Actually there are reasons why we shouldn't follow the crowd blindly.
According to a study,people tend to follow the crowd when they aren't sure about the direction they should take.This means a large number of people could be following others without understanding what's right and what's wrong!This attracts more people to follow them and the result is that most people move in a certain direction even if it isn't right.
A man who wants to be successful always hopes for others' guidance and he usually follows the same path of most people,but the question this man never asks himself is：ar

e all of those people successful？Of course not!If you want to follow a crowd,then follow a successful one.However,in real life you'll only find one successful person among hundreds of people,and that's why following the crowd makes no sense at all.
Most people act without thinking wisely.If you always follow others because they're greater than you in number,then sooner or later you'll discover that you're making decisions you might regret later.
However,should we never follow the crowd？No.I'm not trying to say you should never follow the crowd,but instead I'm just asking you to think wisely before you make a decision.If you find others are right,there is no problem in following them,but if you have doubts about the direction they're moving in,don't follow them blindly.
