   In northern Scotland there is a long,deep lake called Loch Ness. More than 200 meters deep,it is the largest lake in the UK. People say a big monster (怪兽) lives in its dark,cold waters. It weighs more than 1,000 kilos and is at least ten meters long. Some people say it has a beard like a horse. Others say it looks like a snake. Many people travel to Loch Ness to look for this strange monster,but only a few people have seen it. At least,they say they have seen it.

   The Loch Ness Monster is a famous legend (传说) .The first story about a monster in Loch Ness was told over 500 years ago,but the legend of the monster spread widely only in the twentieth century.

注意:每个空格只填一个单词。

   Noah Webster was born on October 16 ,1758,in the West Division of Hartford,where his father farmed and worked as a weaver. His mother was a housewife.

   Few people went to college at that time,but Noah loved so much to learn that his parents let him go to Yale,Connecticut's only college. Noah graduated in 1778. He desired (渴望) to study law,but his parents didn't have more money to send him to school. So,in order to make a living,Noah taught in Glastonbury,Hartford and West Hartford. Later he studied law.

   Noah did not like American schools. Sometimes 70 children of all ages were crammed (挤满) into one-room schoolhouses with poor books and untrained teachers. Their books came from England. Noah thought that Americans should learn from American books,so in 1783,Noah wrote his own textbook A Grammatical Institute of the English Language. Most people called it the “Blue-Backed Speller” because of its blue cover.

   For 100 years,Noah's book taught children how to read,spell,and pronounce words. It was the most popular American book of its time. Ben Franklin used Noah's book to teach his granddaughter to read.

   When Noah was 43 ,he started writing the first American dictionary.He did that because Americans in different parts of the country spelled,pronounced and used words differently.He thought that all Americans should speak in the same way. He also thought that Americans should not speak and spell just like the English. Noah used American spellings like color instead of the English colour and music instead of musick. He also added American words that weren’t in English dictionaries like skunk and squash. He spent over 27 years writing his dictionary. When Noah accomplished (完成) his dictionary in 1828,at the age of 70 ,the first American dictionary came out. It had 70,000 words in it.

   Noah did many things in his life. He worked for copyright laws,wrote textbooks. Americanized the English language,and edited magazines. When Noah Webster died in 1843,he was considered an American hero.
