He told them that he had two good legs and arms, and did not need this money. He told them to give the money to people who could not work, to people who needed it.

In English the spelling of words does not always represent the sound. So people say /rait/ but spell it right or write, or even rite. Combinations of letters may be pronounced in many ways. And some words just seem to have too many letters.

  For Americans things are a little bit easier, thanks to the work of Noah Webster, a teacher who graduated from Yale University in 1778. As a young man, he had fought against the British in the American War of Independence, and he felt that written English in the newly independent United States should have a distinctive American look.

  So he began his work on American English. His first book, The Elementary Spelling Book, suggested simplifying the spelling of English words. The book was extremely popular. By the 1850s, it was selling one million copies a year, making it one of the most popular school books ever.

  Many of the suggestions were quickly adopted. Center instead of centre, program instead of programme, and flavor instead of flavour. Others, however, such as removing silent letters like s in island or the final e in examine, were not .

Webster is best known for his American Dictionary of the English language, which first appeared in 1828. It introduced lots of new American words, with information about their pronunciation and use, and, of course, the new spelling. The British criticized the dictionary, but it quickly became a standard reference book in the States. Today, Webster's dictionary is still the number one dictionary for American students.

A. Webster and his best sellers.

B. British and American English.

①Webster graduated from Yale University.

②American Dictionary of the English language came out.

③Webster's book was selling one million copies a year.

④Webster took part in the American War of Independence.

A. ②①③④ B. ③①②④ C. ④①③② D. ①②③④

3.What can we learn from the text?

A. All the spelling of words does not represent the sound.

B. The Elementary Spelling Book was published in the 1850s.

C. Webster's suggestions were accepted completely.

4.What attitude do the British have towards Webster's dictionary?

A. They thought highly of it.

B. They found fault with it.

C. They argued bitterly about it.

D. They followed the examples of it.

 

Watson entered Mr. Smith's office. The boss was a hard man. He fired people who didn't do well without giving them a second chance.

"Watson," said Mr. Smith, "this past year your department hasn't earned money. We're going to drop that department. It's finished. I’m sorry, —but you'll have to go." "But, sir — if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School."

"What's that!" said the boss. "Riverside! I didn't know you had a boy there. That's an expensive school for a man with your salary."

"I know, sir. But he likes it there so much! He's a star athlete and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ there."

The boss sat perfectly still for a long time — a faraway (恍惚的) look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, "We've got to close your department, Watson. But you'll take over a new job in another department. It means longer hours—maybe more pay. Now get out. You're here for life."

Watson got out, with surprise on his face. Then the boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie's last letter from Riverside School —written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter read:

I can’t say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were. I guess it's the same everywhere when you're a cripple (跛脚的人). But don't worry about me, Dad. They've got a good chemistry department here. And there’s one boy here who is really great. He's a track star and boxing champ (冠军) and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, 1 want to do something for Champ. Something big — that he won’ t even know about.

Your son,

Herbie
