After the call, my whole body became feverish and panicky. The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years. The whole night, I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind. One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come. Finally, I gathered some courage.

He describes the beginning of his life in Hangzhou as“being dragged back from the shadow of death”．He received oxygen for his lungs，but oxygen toxicity (毒性)cost him his sight.David’s bl indness meant he could only play with toys that produced sounds. On his third birthday，he received a toy electronic keyboard. Gradually he learned to play the music stored in it. Later that year，afterhearing a popular song on the radio several times，he played it. It was then that his dad realized his musical ability.David remembers his first encounter with “a giant that could sing”．What giant？A real piano！He took piano lessons for several years，starting at age 4.When David was 8，his piano teacher accompanied him and his dad to Beijing，where David played for Professor Zhou Guangren. This well-known music professor at the Central Conservatory of Music stated that David had a strong gift and good sense for music. But he had bad technical skills.David’s dad a sked Professor Zhou if David should continue pursuing a musical career. She answered that if he received professional training，yes.

So after a year’s preparation，the family moved，and David became a student of Mao Dongli and remains so today.David also attended the Beijing School for the Blind，graduating last June. He then took the college entrance exam，becoming the first fully blind person in Beijing to pass. David now studies at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing—China’s top music institution.Besides music，David loves English！He was 7 when his neighbor gave him her old English cassettes. Fascinated by the sounds，he learned the words and dialogues without knowing their meaning. The neighborhood kid later explained them to him.In Beijing，he listened to English on the bus.

Rankin discovered that 70 percent of their waking time was spent on one thing only —communication and that vocabulary predicts financial success. New words make us better thinkers as well as communicators. But how to extend your vocabulary?Hybrid (杂交产生的) corn combines the best qualities of several varieties to ensure maximum productivity. A hybrid approach to vocabulary should, in the same way, ensure maximum results. That’s why you should use the CPD formula.Through Context. When students in a college class were asked what should be done when they came across an unknown word in their reading, 84 percent said, ―Look it up in the dictionary.‖ If you do, however, you short-circuit the very mental processes needed to make your efforts most productive. But there’s another reason. Suppose someone asks you what the word ―fast‖ means. You answer, ―speedy or swift‖. But what’s the real meaning, it all depends on the context. After all, there are over twenty different meanings for ―fast‖ in the dictionary. But the dictionary doesn’t tell you which meaning is intended. That’s why it makes such good sense to begin with context.Through Word Parts.Now for the next step. Often unfamiliar words contain one or more parts, which, if recognized, provide definite help with meaning. Take the word ―monolithic‖ for example. Try to separate the parts. There is the prefix mono-, meaning ―one‖, and the root –lith, meaning ―stone‖. Finally, there’s the suffix –ic, meaning ―consisting of‖. Those three parts add up to this definition: ―consisting of one stone‖. With the prefix, suffix and root elements, you can build up vocabulary in giant leaps, up to a thousand words at a time.Through the Dictionary.Now you can see why you should consult the dictionary last, not first. You’ve looked carefully at the context. You’ve looked for familiar word parts. Now you play Sherlock Homes. In light of context or word parts, you try to solve a mystery. What exactly does that strange word mean? Only after you go through the mental gymnastics to come up with a tentative (不确定的) definition should you open the dictionary to see if you’re right.You are now personally involved. Your increased interest will lead to a better memory of both word and meaning. It also encourages your development of the habits needed to accelerate your progress. In that way, the CPD Formula provides the exact approaches for maximum effectiveness.Well, there it is, your new formula — Context, Parts, Dictionary. Use it! The results will be like the money in the bank.32.
