    You, of course, know that you will never add vcry rapidly to your vocabulary by merely coming  across
 words, or by reading or by  talking. You must have a plan.
    Here is one way to get ahead with words in everyday  life.  It's the simplest thing in the world.
    Buy a small pocket notebook. When you read a newspaper, a magazine, or a book, or listen to TV or
 radio, and come upon a strange word, enter it in your notebook. Then look it up in the dictionary. If you
find that it's a word too difficult to understand or a highly technical mterm, just pass it by.  But if it sounds
like a word that will be helpful to you. take possession of it, make it your own personal possession.  Say
it aloud many times. Study its exact meaning, and note its root. Be sure, also, to copy from the dictionary
the example sentence in which it is used, if such is given.  Then write your own sentence in line with the
example in the dictionary. 

    All this will take only a few minutes or so, but it is necessary to make the practice a daily habit. Then
the list in your notebook will grow gradually, as will your command of English.

     Have you ever noticed background music? You can listen to it everywhere, restaurants, airports,
supermarkets, department stores… Background music is supposed to influence (影響) your attitudes
(態(tài)度) and mood (心情).
     Companies pay millions of dollars every year for background music. It's supposed to make you feel
better about yourself and the people around you. Factories use it a lot. It makes the workers happy and
work better. It is said (據(jù)說) that in a factory, music can increase the production by 4.5 percent.
Workers do not easily get tired if they listen to music all day. A worker in San Francisco said:" If the
music stops, somebody always runs to the telephone to complain about it. "Background music was
started during World War II when some factories had their own orchestras to keep workers happy and
calm . Now, of course, the music is piped in (以電訊設備傳送) by a machine and different kinds of
music are played at different time in a day. For example, the music they play are faster at 10 than 8,
because workers are usually slower then.
     It's also very interesting that fast music is played in restaurants where hamburger is sold. Before
playing fast music, customers spent 22 minutes eating hamburgers. When they started playing fast music,
they found that a customer spent only 17 minutes eating! So they have more people coming in and out to
buy hamburgers. It's good for business. You can see why music has become so popular. In Los Angeles
(洛杉磯), for example, 30 different companies are selling background music services.
     The Xerox Corporation (靜電復印公司) in Rochester, N．Y．(紐約州的羅切斯特市), spends
more than $80,000 a year for background music. Prison warders (獄警) use it. Farmers also use it to
keep their cattle calm. It's said that background music even influence plants.
