Most dictionaries will tell you a number of things about a language. There are three important things. The three things are spelling, pronunciation（发音）and meanings.

　　First, a dictionary will tell you the spelling of a word. If you are not sure about the spelling of a word, you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in alphabetical order（按字母顺序）--a, b, c and so on. For example, on a dictionary page the word“poor”--p, o, o, r --comes before“poverty”--p, o, v, e, r, t, y --and the word“poverty”comes before the word“power”--p, o, w, e, r. The words are always given in alphabetical order.

　　The second thing, a dictionary will tell you pronunciation. Most dictionaries give phonetic（语的），or sound, alphabet. The phonetic spelling will tell you how a word is pronounced. There are a few different phonetic alphabets. Many dictionaries use the International（国际的）Phonetic Alphabet to show pronunciation.

　　The third thing, a dictionary will tell you the meaning of words. You can look up a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary will tell you all of the word's meanings. For example, in English the common word“get”has over 20 different meanings.

In January 1998 two pigs escaped from west of London. The pigs were going to be killed for meat. For almost a week, they hid in the woods around the town of Malmesbury.

When the local police began to look for the pigs, newspaper reporters from all over the country joined them. Soon people everywhere were reading about the adventures(历险记) of Butch and Sundance with great interest. The owner of the pigs said that if they were found, he would sell them to anyone who would give them a home. A number of newspapers tried to buy the pigs, and finally The Daily Mail paid a lot of money for them.

One rainy night, six days after the escape, a reporter from The Daily Mail and some people from the town found Butch in the woods. They caught her and put her in a cage. The next day, Sundance was caught, too.
