整天对着一个list背单词多没意思！“阅读+做题”的古老方式也让人郁闷吧？来把读故事变成一场好玩的游戏吧！新航线最受年轻学生拥戴的Owen老师推荐的东东总是新颖又有趣：读一个情节性很强的小短文，然后，利用文章里出现的单词，完成下面的crossword游戏！
crossword在每天的报纸都能见到，而中国人又有几个真的会去做呢？恐怕很少，因为报纸上的游戏，用到的词经常是我们不会的，若非长期生活在加拿大英语文化中，很难解得出来那些难题。可是在这里带大家看到的不一样，是“现学现用”型的，所有的单词都可以在刚刚读完的文章里找到。怎么样，有点信心了吧？下面开始吧！
A Shower Injury
Ben leaned over the edge of the tub. He turned on the hot and cold water faucets. The water came out of the spout near the top of the tub. He pushed down on the lever beneath the spout so that the water would drain. He was going to take a shower, not a bath.
He tested the temperature. It wasn't hot enough. He adjusted the hot water faucet. There was another handle between the hot and cold faucets. This one controlled whether water came out of the spout or out of the shower head. Ben turned it all the way to the right. Now hot water was coming out of the shower head. The temperature was just right.
Ben took off his robe and stepped over the top of the tub. He pulled the shower door closed. He grabbed the bar of soap out of the soap dish and started scrubbing his face.
While his eyes were closed to keep out the soap, he put the soap back into the dish. Then he reached for the big plastic container of shampoo on his window ledge. The bottle slipped out of his hands and landed on his left foot.
"Shoot!" Ben said angrily. That hurt.
