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.
1.What is the text mainly about?
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.

“When I grow up, I want to be...”
Almost all of us have thought about, or been asked to think about, our future careers. Our answers may differ greatly. Even now your aspirations may have changed from when you were in primary school.
However, it seems career options aren’t only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by Teens, doctors, lawyers, and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow. This is in line with a similar survey carried out in the UK in May 2011 by job website monster. Co.uk, in which medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17.
Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions. Their prestige (威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are some of the most esteemed members of society, and they make good money. Joining these high-profile professions is often seen as a sign of upward social mobility.
It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in. Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career. British young men list the UK tycoon Alan Sugar, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg as their top role models “for their wealth”. Just as Chinese teenagers see being a banker as a good and fun pathway to “wealth”.
However, not every child has the makings of doctor, lawyer, or banker. They are those who see fulfillment and happiness in other areas, and many teenagers dare to ink more individuality into their career options. As the Teens’ survey discovered, a variety of unconventional jobs---coffee shop owner, gourmet(美食家)，waiter at a fast food restaurant---are among teenagers’ career choices. They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.
With every choice comes responsibility and challenge, and all career paths require specific education and training, you have to learn to balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Choosing a good job is very important.
B. Careers in teenagers’ mind.
C. Teenagers in the UK like doctors.
D. The choice of career needs challenge.
2.According to the article, all of the following are the benefits of being a doctor except_____.
A. respect from others B. upward social mobility
C. high pay D. the oldest profession
3.What do youngsters think is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career?
A. Prestige B. Fulfillment C. Happiness D. Wealth
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. According to your particular talents and skills, you can choose your favorite career.
B. Specific education and training can help get a good job.
C. Whatever career you choose, you should balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.
D. Responsibility is the most important when you choose a good job.

下面文章有5處（第61至65題）需要添加小標題。請從以下選項（A、B、C、D、E和F中選出符合各段意思的小標題，并在答題紙上將相應(yīng)的標號涂黑。選項中有一項是多余選項。
Humans and dogs have been working together for thousands of years, and some scientists even believe the two species have been living with one another for thousands of years． While having a dog will not improve your health if you never wanted a dog in the first place, dog lovers can benefit from living with them．
1.
Most of us know the benefits of exercise, but it can be a struggle to find the motivation to get up and get moving everyday． A dog provides strong motivations, and can make your daily walk or run less lonely and more fun．Moreover, you'll bum extra calories when helping your dog walk and doing brief training exercises with your dog． For some people, going for walks alone is scary, but a dog can make runs and walks feel more secure．l know that with Ranger．I have to walk him every day, and he's always ready each morning．Sometimes we even have an afternoon or early evening walk, which is better for my health．
2.
There's no doubt that dog ownership does come with some stresses, from making sure you've applied their weekly bath to worrying if your dog will get along with the other dogs at the dog park． But the benefits of pet ownership more than outweigh these small stresses． Research shows that a few minutes spent petting an animal． lowers blood levels of the stress hormone, which contributes to tiredness, weight gain and aging, and your pet can help kill its negative effects． A few minutes playing with your dog every day also releases powerful ¨feel-good" hormones that continue to function in the bloodstream．
3. 
Many people living alone worry about thieves, and a dog can help give owners a sense of security． Thieves are less likely to break into a house with a barking dog, and your dog can help you feel les
s lonely whether you're just spending the night by yourself or living alone long-term．If your dog is older and struggles to move around, you can still rest easy knowing that your dog will get to a robber before you do．
4.
People who have regular positive interactions with others tend to live longer and be happier, and pets provide you with a valuable opportunity to meet and interact with other people． Even if you're shy, it's easy to strike up a conversation with another person if you're both talking about your animals． Visits to the dog park and meet--ups with other pet owners also provide pet owners with opportunities for interactions．If you're still anxious about meeting new people, consider joining a message board or online group for people with similar pets to yours． You'll quickly find yourself making new friends in addition to learning a lot about your best friend - your pet!
5.
In a fast-paced, high-stress world, depression and anxiety are at an all-time high． But pet owners have fewer mental illnesses, and animals are even used as treatment for people suffering from mental illness． If you struggle with depression, an animal can help you avoid such problems． The exercise and stress release you get from spending time with your pet may even reduce the effects of depression． Dog owners are also less stressed than people who don't own dogs, and reduced stress is strongly related with lower blood pressure, a longer life span, greater happiness and improved health．
