This dictionary tells you about English words and how to use them in reading,
writing and speaking English. It not only gives the meaning of words, it can also help
you with spelling, word building, grammar and pronunciation.

such a thing happens, the dictionary shows it with the word “BrE” for British English
and “AmE” for American English.
The dictionary also helps you pronounce words correctly. It uses a special
alphabet (特殊字母表) to show pronunciation. If you turn to the inside back face, you
will see all the phonetic letters (音标 ) with some words to show you how they are
pronounced. Just have a look this page when you’re not sure how to say a word.
The most important reason for using a dictionary is to find out the meaning of a

means that the definitions of even the most difficult words are simply explained (简单
解释) and easy to understand.

You will have a lot of reading to do when you are in high school. You can do
more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly.
Perhaps you have been told about some habits (习惯) which keep a person from
reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might
have.
Do you still have any of these bad habits Check yourself by answering “yes” or
“no” to these questions.
(1) Do you move your lips (嘴唇) when reading silently
(2) Do you point to words with your finger as you read
(3) Do you move your head from side to side as you read
(4) Do you read one word at a time
If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit. If
you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between
your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move, your will know it and can
stop them.
If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left
4
hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you won’t have a free finger to use in
pointing while reading. If you move your head, place your chin (下巴) in one hand
and hold your head still (静止不动的).
If you read no more than one or two three words at a time, you need to work very
hard in learning to take in (吸收) more words at each glance (一瞥) as your eyes
travel across the lines of words.
Even if you do rather fast now, you can learn to read even faster. As you
probably have been told, the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words
at each glance. Read in thought groups and force (迫使) your eyes along the lines of
words at fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these things will
be able to read faster.

C. to hold a piece of paper between them
D. to keep yourself from talking to others

A. Keeping your head still.
B. Holding your books with your hands.
C. Standing up near a desk.
D. Using your finger to point to words.
14. What benefit will you get if you learn to read fast

的短文。
Tim and his wife went shopping for some supplies during last month’s deadly
storm in Texas.
Tim immediately regretted the trip when he saw the line of people outside,
waiting to enter the Leander H-E-B Plus. But the couple wanted to be prepared in case
conditions worsened. They had shopped for about fifteen minutes before the store
suddenly lost power and light went out.
Customers continued shopping until a store manager asked them to head to the
checkout counter. Tim and his wife joined what he thought to be a few hundred people
in a long check-out line.
When the couple arrived at the checkout counter, the cashier let them through
saying there wasn’t time to bag anything. Tim thought the store would collect his
information for payment later. Yet when he and his wife asked about paying, the
9
cashier said, “Just go ahead and be safe driving home.”
“I saw all these people going out with carts and it kind of surprised us. Wow!
They are letting everybody leave with free groceries,” Tim said.
Touched by the unexpected act of kindness they experienced, many customers
decided to pay it forward as they left the store. Out in the parking lot, complete
strangers helped each other to put unbagged groceries into cars.
“This older woman couldn’t get her car moving because of the ice,” Tim said.
“She looked worried, so I knocked on her window and three or four of us actually
pushed her and got her moving.”
On the ride home, the couple thought about their experience and were deeply
moved.
To show their thanks, they planned to give what they would have spent on
groceries to an H-E-B supported charity.
“I think everybody thought it was a nice act for a company,” he said. "And it
makes you want to help other people too.
