When we ask readers, teachers and students what their biggest problems are in reading English newspapers, almost everyone immediately answers "vocabulary" ! It is true that some readers are probably to find many new words, but that is not really a"problem". We hope to show you a good way to increase your vocabulary.
One way to do this is, of course, to make a great effort to learn new vocabulary by using your dictionary. Look up a large number of new words you meet in the newspaper. That is not the method （方法）we are going to talk about, however. In fact, overusing the dictionary is not good for your understanding of the stories. it slows down your reading speed so much that it is difficult to see how ideas fit together. Instead, we are going to suggest very useful ways for increasing your vocabulary and your reading comprehension （理解）at the same time.
One of the fastest way to build your vocabulary through the newspaper is on a "topic by topic" basis （基础）. You can do this by reading stories with similar （相似）topics. You can also follow an interesting story for several days or more. You will begin to see a group of words commonly associated （有联系的） with the topic.
The other way we suggest is to use context to learn vocabulary. Sometimes you can the meaning of the new words with the help of the sentences around them. Also, some newspapers are made to be understood easily. Stories are written for general readers, not for experts. And
A.The topics are too hard to understand
B.There are so many new words
C.Grammar is the biggest problem
D.The writing style is too new for us
（1）A.B.C.D.（2）A.Reading stories with similar topic B.Reading dictionaries
C.Reading as much as possible
D.Reading different kinds of stories
（3）A.读者
B.买方
C.作家
D.上下文
（4）A.How to read English newspapers B.How to improve your English C.How to use the dictionary
D.How to learn new vocabularies
（5）there are also several photographs besides the stories.
What is the popular problem we meet when we read English newspapers?
What is the most common way we use when we meet some new vocabularies?
Ask teachers for help Leave them alone
Look them up in the dictionary
Try to understand them with the help of the topic
is one of the ways that the writer suggests in the passage.
What does the underlined word "context"mean in Chinese?
What is the best topic for this passage?

So in 1895, William Morgan, a gym teacher in Holyoke, Massachusetts, America, decided to invent a new game that would be good for older persons too. He invented （发明）a game which was played with the same kind of ball as basketball, but more like tennis.
