偶然发现这样一个提高英文词汇量的网站:
http://www.freerice.com/index.php
打开首页,就能看到单词选择题游戏,如果你选对意义相同的另一个单词,Freerice网站就向联合国粮食组织捐献20粒大米,以用于支持抗击世界范围内尚存的饥饿。
在游戏的过程中,不仅词汇量得到明显提高、理解力增强,增强阅读速度,还能再各类英文考试中厚积薄发。最有意义的是,在游戏的同时,你还为饱受饥饿折磨的人类做出了自己的贡献。

How does playing the vocabulary game at FreeRice help me?
Learning new vocabulary has tremendous benefits. It can help you:
Formulate your ideas better
Write better papers, emails and business letters
Speak more precisely and persuasively
Comprehend more of what you read
Read faster because you comprehend better
Get better grades in high school, college and graduate school
Score higher on tests like the SAT, GRE, LSAT and GMAT
Perform better at job interviews and conferences
Sell yourself, your services, and your products better
Be more effective and successful at your job
After you have done FreeRice for a couple of days, you may notice an odd 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.
如果每天都捐点儿,时间一长,那可不得了啊!
