“Colour” and “color”， “favourite” and “favorite”… Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a “u”? Is it because they are lazy?

Of course not. In fact， the difference in spelling was created by Noah Webster(1758-1843). He is a teacher who reformed English to make American identity stronger. Linguists（语言学家） celebrated his 250th birthday on October 16. After the Revolutionary War（1775-1783）， Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary， rather than rely on British versions. He dropped the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded.

Webster wasn’t shy about expressing his opinions. In defining preposterous (unreasonable)， he wrote， “A republican government in the hands of females is preposterous.”

Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70，000-word dictionary in 1828 with his American-style spellings. He also added local words. His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new nation achieve unity and cultural independence at a time when most were focused on political freedom.

“He was the shaper of our language and the shaper of American identity，” said Joshua Kendall， who is working on a biography(传记) about Webster. “He at last bonded（联合） us through our language.”

A. dropping “u” in all the British words.

B. changing “centre” into “center”

C. adding local words

D. voicing his opinion

2.Why did Noah Webster create these differences in his dictionary?

A. Because he wanted to make English simple and easy.

B. Because he wanted American English to have its own characteristics.

C. Because he wanted to show that the USA is stronger than the UK.

D. Because he wanted to achieve political freedom.

3. Which of the following would probably be the best title for the passage?

A. Webster’s Dictionary.

B. American Identity

C. The Shaper of American English

My Plan on Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is coming, I feel very excited and really want to tell her how much I love her, I have made my plan for the special day.

Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.

I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.

I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.

Years later, , I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership--a shop selling cars--was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.

"Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pick-up truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot , he said.

"Thank you"--two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.
