The men who create the machines of the Industrial Revolution 24 from many backgrounds and many occupations. Many of them were 25 inventors than scientists. A man who is a pure scientist is primarily interested in doing his research accurately. He is not necessarily working 26 that his findings can be used. An inventor or one interested in applied science is all trying to make something that has a concrete use. He may try to solve a problem by using the theories 27 science or by experimenting through trial and error. Regardless of his method, he is working to obtain a 28 result: the construction of a harvesting machine, the burning of a light bulb, or one of 16 other objectives.

Being very short of money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no 21 of teaching my chances of getting the job were 22 . However, three days later, a letter arrived, calling me to Croydon for a meeting with the headmaster. It was clearly the 23 himself that open the door. He was short and round.

This discovery has been made in the word laboratories of the world. Not by theoretical English professors, 22 by practical, hard-headed(精明的) scholars 23 have been searching for the secrets of success. After a host of(许多) experiments and years of testing they have found out that if your vocabulary is limited your chances of success are limited and that one of the easiest and quickest ways to 24 is by consciously building up your knowledge of words. Your words are your keys for your 25 . And the more words you have 26 your command,the deeper, clearer and more accurate will be your thinking. A command of English will not only improve the processes of your mind. It will 27 give you assurance; build your self-confidence; lend colour to your personality; increase your popularity. Your vocabulary is you. If you consciously increase your vocabulary you will unconsciously 28 yourself to a more important station in life, and the new and higher position you have won will, 29 , give you a better opportunity for further 30 your vocabulary. It is a beautiful and successful cycle.
