    What makes a word real？Who has the power to make those kinds of official decisions about words？Those are the questions many people have in mind.When most people say a word isn't real，what they mean is that it doesn't appear in a dictionary.That，of course，raises some other questions，including，who writes dictionaries？
   Now，dictionaries are good resources，but they are changeable.If you ask dictionary editors，what they'll tell you is that they're just trying to keep up with people as people change the language.They're watching what people say and what people write and trying to figure out what's going to stick and what's not going to stick.
   Every January，dictionary editors go to the American Dialect Society Meeting every year，where among other things，they decide on the word of the year.There are about 200 or 300 people who come.Some of them are the best known linguists（語言學家） in the United States.In the past，some of the winners have been "staycation" to describe a vacation spent at home and "tweet" to describe a post made on the social networking service Twitter.
   So how does a word get into a dictionary？It gets in because people use it and people keep using it，and dictionary editors are paying attention to people.If a community of speakers is using a word and knows what it means，it's real.That word might be informal and that word might be a word that you think is illogical（不合邏輯的） or unnecessary，but as long as people are using the word，it is real.I hope that what you can do is to find language change not annoying but fun and interesting，just the way dictionary editors do.I hope you can enjoy being part of the creativity that is continually remaking our language and keeping it alive.

3．How to Become a Lifelong Learner Learning doesn't stop just because school does.Making a commitment to yourself to learn something new every day，you will not only enjoy what you discover，but you will be able to apply your knowledge and become a teacher to future generations.Here are some steps to become a life-long learner.
   Learn how you learn.
   （1）

Note what learning techniques are the most efficient for you and use them as much as is practical，such as viewing online tutorials on websites like YouTube if you're more of a visual learner.
   （2）

Try many different things so that you don't box yourself into believing you're only good at a few things.It's probable that you're good at many things，but you won't know until you've tried.
   Look at learning as an exploration and opportunity，not a chore（瑣事）.Don't just force yourself to learn things because they're important or necessary.
   （3）

Follow your heart，as well as your sense of duty.Do you remember the 8th grade history that you hated so much，with all those names and dates that seemed to mean nothing？The point was to bring you to learn details now that will knit chunks of information together later. （4）

   Read，read，read.
   （5）

Reading is a gateway into other worlds and into the minds of your fellow human beings.And reading will help you to learn the discoveries and mistakes of others who have gone before you；reading is，in effect，a shortcut so that you don't have to learn things the hard way.

A.Learn where your talents and interests lie.
B.It was a chore then，but it makes sense，now.
C.Recognize the educational value in whatever you read.
D.Determine your own preferred learning style or styles.
E.Their ways of learning might help you to improve your own.
F.Make friends with your local library and new and used book sellers.
G.Instead，learn things that you need to learn alongside things you love to learn.
