aims to provide education to everyone for free and help end world hunger. Join us and have fun with our
vocabulary game. For each vocabulary word you get right, we donate free rice through UNWFP to those hungry people.
     How do you play the vocabulary game?
     Click on the answer that is closest in meaning to the word. If you get it right, you get a harder word.
If wrong, you get an easier word. For each word you get right, we donate 20 grains of rice to UNWFP.
     How does the vocabulary game help you?
     This game may make you smarter. While learning new vocabulary, it can help you:
     ★Present your ideas better
     ★Write better papers, e-mails and business letters
     ★Speak more accurately and influentially
     ★Read faster because you understand better
     ★Get better grades in high school and college
    ★Perform better at job interviews
    ★Be more effective and successful at your job
     After you have done FreeRice for a couple of days, you may notice a phenomenon. Words that you
have never consciously used before will begin to pop into your head while you are speaking or writing.
You will feel yourself using and knowing more words.
     How does the FreeRice vocabulary program work?
     FreeRice has a database containing thousands of words at different levels of difficulty. There are
words proper for people just learning English and words that will challenge the most learned professors.
     In between are thousands of words for students, business people, doctors, truck drivers…
everyone!
      FreeRice adjusts to your level of vocabulary. It starts by giving you words at different levels of difficulty and then, based on how you do, designs a proper starting level for you. When you get a word wrong,
you go to an easier level. When you get three words in a row right, you go to a harder level. There are 60
levels in all, but it is rare for people to get above Level 50.
     Sign up now and you will have fun as well as help end world hunger.

　　Modcm inventions have speeded up people's lives amazingly．Motor-cars cover a bundred miles in little more than an hour．Aireraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed．Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending．Every ycar motor-cars are produced which go even faster each new computer boasts(吹噓)of saving preeious seconds in handling tasks．

　　All this saves timc, but at a prick．When we lose or gain half a day in speeding aeross the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so．We get the uncomfoerable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel tlru they have been left bebind in anot ar nine zoors Again pending too long at compulers resul's in painti ninrts and fingers．Mobile phones also to dange according to some seientists; too much uss may thesmit h bul radiation into our brains, a we do not like to think about．

　　Howave, what do we do with the time we have saved?Certainly not or so it seems．We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time．Pcrhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imavination take us into another world．

　　There was a time when some people's lives were devotcd simply to the cultivation of the land or the eare of eattle．No multi-tasking there; their lives wenl on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern．There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this．Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faeed;：they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone．Modem machinery has freed peope fre that primitive existcnee．
