6．"Look it up in the dictionary"is the usual comment when people are in doubt about the meaning or spelling of a word．Dictionaries are considered the final authority on these matters as well as on pronunciations and other facts about a word．
Until a few hundred years ago，however，people could not"look it up"because there were no English dictionaries．The ancient Greeks and Romans and the scholars of the Middle Ages had made lists of Latin and Greek words．（71）G The first great English dictionary listing both common and uncommon words was written by Samuel Johnson in 1755．
In America，the most famous name in dictionary writing is that of Noah Webster．He stressed American rather than British ways of speaking．His great dictionary，which first appeared in 1828，has been republished many times．（72）A The latest edition is still considered"the"dictionary．It defines over 450，000words，including radar，television and many others undreamed of by Webster．
（73）EThe huge ones that rest on stands in libraries are called unabridged，meaning"not shortened．"They tell not only a word's meaning and spelling but also its pronunciation，origin，history，part of speech，grammatical forms，and ways of use．The smaller ones do not provide all this information．
（74）B A bilingual dictionary，such as a Spanish-English dictionary，translates words from one language into another．A thesaurus lists other words that mean the same as each listed word．A gazetteer lists place names，and a glossary is a small dictionary in a book defining technical words in that book．There are also dictionaries of scientific terms and ones on many other topics．There is even a dictionary of slang．（75）CThe dictionary is one of our most valuable language tools．

A．Each time，it has been updated．
B．General dictionaries are not the only kind．
C．Thus there are many kinds of special dictionaries．
D．In a general dictionary，each word may have multiple meanings．
E．Dictionaries that list all kinds of words are known as general dictionaries．
F．Over the previous 150 years more than 20dictionaries had been published．
G．But it was not until 1604that a book of uncommon English words appeared．

5．Harry S．Truman High School in the Bronx has eight floors，seven gymnasiums，a football field and a planetarium．But there is one place off limits to its more than 3，000 students：the 6-lane swimming pool，which has been dry for nearly three decades．
Within the New York City public school system，though，the troubled Truman pool represents a trend．Of the 50 swimming pools inside the city's 1，200 school buildings，10 are in unusable condition．At Martin Luther King Jr．High School （MLK） in Manhattan，the pool has been used to store old chairs and desks since 1986．The pool at Walton High School has been closed since the 1980's，despite a 54 million school wide renovation（整修）．
For the swimming enthusiasts of the city public school system，the empty school pools are a hollow symbols of lost opportunities：to fight against obesity （肥胖）； to provide summer job training in a city that has had to import lifeguards from Europe in recent years； to attract the students who just may love the water even if they hate everything else about high school．
The latest version of Mayor Michael R．Bloomberg's 13.1 billion，five-year educational capital plan will include 60 million for upgrades to a dozen school pools，including 7 million for Truman，and 4 million for King．But the school system's capital has historically called for projects that never end up happening．Also，the mayor's plan relies on 6.5 billion from the state，which is resisting a court order to give the city schools more money．
Teachers and principals say that when school pools work，they are shelters from whatever troubles may pass in the hallways and classrooms．Tension over test scores and safety concerns disappears when the students are swimming．
The purported（传说中的）existence of a pool at Martin Luther King Jr．High School was such a mystery that it inspired an article in a student newspaper．Appearing under the headline"Unlocking MLK's secrets，"the article was accompanied by a photograph showing old furniture and a television set stacked next to the empty pool．At other schools，the situation is reversed．"The seniors would always tell the freshmen they could find the pool on the fifth floor，"said Adam Kerzner，a Bronx Science swimmer who graduated from the school-which has no fifth floor-in 1997．"It was kind of like a hazing thing．"

3．A group of foreign residents married to Japanese talked about their children's names．
Nicole Despres
Students services manager，40 （American）
We have no intention to live outside Japan so it made sense for the kids to take my Japanese husband's family name．However，we did want to have a Western name too，so all three of them now have both a Western and Japanese name．We agreed there would be no strange names，spelling or unusual kanji（Chinese characters in the Japanese language）．All names had to be easy to say and familiar in both Japanese and English．
John McCracken
Company general manager，27（American）
My son's name is Aiden．In part because my wife and I met in university and as she was studying Irish history and I have some links to Scotland and Ireland，I wanted a unique Gaelic（盖尔族的）name．We settled for Aiden as we found kanji that can be used in Japan that means"legendary hero"
Paula Murakami
College women's Association of Japan，53（American）
My husband was very excited about choosing names，so I decided to let him choose．He wanted their first names to be Japanese and camp up with names that included the kanji character in his own name．Our boys，Hiroki and Kenta，never had any problems while living on the U．S．West Coast with Japanese names，and I think both as children and as adults，they love their names．
Jeff Ruiz
Recording engineer，42（Mexican）
My son's name is Lenny．My wife chose it together with me as we were looking for a name that works in both worlds-mine in Mexico，and hers in Japan-and the name Lenny is common everywhere．In Japanese we write the name in katakana as that is easy for Japanese people who seem to like names in two or three characters．

2．She had to pack up her bedroom in Virgina Beach，where she lived with her mother，two sisters and brother．She had to say goodbye to her two dogs，who used to sleep in her bed，and to the beach，where she loved to ride waves on her boogie board．
But it was time to take the leap，however，heartbreaking and awkward it would be．Even at 14，Douglas knew that．
So off she went about 1，200miles to West Des Moines，Lowa，to train with a coach from China and live with a white family she had never been met．When she arrived，Douglas thought that she must be the only black person in the state．When she woke up，she always said，"This isn't my bed set．Where am I？"
Liang Chow，who had coached the Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson，transformed Douglas into one of the best gymnasts in the world，helping her skyrocket from an average member of the national team to the top of the sport．And a couple with four young daughters became her second family，nurturing her in Iown while her real family supported her from afar．
That move also was important in Douglas's making history．By winning the Olympic all-round title，she became the first black woman to do so．She also became the fourth American woman to win the all-round，following Mary Lou Retton in 1984，Carly Patternson in 2004and Nastia Liukin in 2008．
Douglas won，scoring 62.232points，and led the competition from beginning to end．Viktoria Komova，who sobbed into her coach's chest when she learned she had lost，won the silver，with 61.973points．Aliya Mustafina，the 2010world all-round champion，won the bronze with 59.566points．The other American in the competition，Aly Raisman finished fourth after losing a tiebreaker（决胜局） to Mustafina．
Douglas said she had felt confident all along that she would win．"It was just an amazing feeling，"she said，giggling（咯咯笑）．"I was just like，believe，don't fear，believe．"After sacrificing（牺牲） so much，she had no other choice but to push forward，she said．

1．Many seniors feel pressured to go straight from high school to college，but Camden Olson，who graduated from Latin School of Chicago in the US last year，didn't give in．She decided to spend a gap year raising a guide dog for Guiding Eyes for the blind in Maine．
The nonprofit provides trained guide dogs to blind people．
Taking a year off before college is becoming more and more popular among American teenagers．Some students use the year off to figure out what they want to do，travel the world，or save money for college．
Olson is using her time to purpose a passion she's had since 7^th grade．For years，she kept an eye on guide dog services until she came across the opportunity at Guiding Eyes．With support from her friends，family and teachers，Olson went for it．
Olson's volunteer work centers around Derby，a 1-year-old black dog．
"My job is to raise him to be well-mannered and socialized，"she said．"It gives a blind person a lot of independence and emotional support，too．"
Of course，there's an end in sight for Derby and Olson's close bond （联系）．When Derby celebrates his own graduation，Olson will have to say goodbye to him．"No doubt there will be tears，but，assuming he passes．I will be so happy for him to become a working dog，"she said．
While some look at gap years in negative light，Olson said she's seen major success．In fact，she'll be attending Princeton University this fall and is thinking about majoring in ecology and biology．
"I think I'm already so much more mature than I was and aware of what really matters，"she said．"So many kids do come back from gap years a lot more focused and prepared．
