  In English the   1   of words does not always represent the sound.So people say/raIt/  2   spell it “right”, or “write”, or even “rite”.Combinations of letters(like “ough”)may be pronounced in   3   ways.And some words just seem to have   4   many letters.

  For   5  , things are a little bit easier, thanks to the work of Noah Webster,   6   teacher who graduated from Yale University in 1778.As a young man he had   7   the British in the American War of Independence, and he felt that   8   English in the newly independent United States should have a distinctive “American” look.

  So he began his   9   on American English.His first book, the Elementary Spelling Book,   10   simplifying the spelling of English words.The book was very popular.By the 1850s, it was   11   one million copies a year, making  12   one of the most popular schoolbooks ever.

    13   of the suggestions were quickly used,   14   “center” instead of “centre”, “program” instead of “programme”, and “flavor”  15   “flavour”.Others,   16  , such as removing silent letters like the “s” in “island” or the final “e” in“ examine”, were not.

  Webster is best   17   for An American Dictionary of the English Language,   18   first appeared in 1828.It introduced lots of new American words, with information about their pronunciation and   19  , 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   20   the most important dictionary for American students.

My father had never been so ? 49 ?.Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sun gently shone through the leaves. All of these ? 50 ? the most beautiful picture in the world. The doctor had said my father would ? 51 ? in two months. But after two months he still couldn't walk alone. We were all worried.?

“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.?

“Susan,”he said gently.“To tell you the truth, I just like ? 52 ? with your mom. I like this kind of life.” ? 53 ? from his eyes, I knew he loved my mother deeply.
