    　　When you are reading something in English, you may often meet with a new word．What's the best way to know it?

    　　You may look it up in an English-Chinese dictionary．It will tell you a lot about the word： the pronunciation, the part of speech(词性), the Chinese meaning and also how to use the word．But how can you know where the word is in thousands of English words? How to find it in thousands of English words? How to find it in the dictionary both quickly and correctly?

    　　First, all the English words are arranged in the alphabetical(字母表的)order in a dictionary．

    　　In the dictionary you can first see the words beginning with the letter A, B, C, D…That means, if there are two words “general” and “monitor”, “general” will be certainly before “monitor”．Then if there are two words both beginning with the same letter, you may look at the second letter．Then the third, the fourth…For example, “before” is before “begin”, “foreigner” is before “forest”, etc．

    　　The dictionary will be your good friend．I hope you'll use it as often as possible in your English learning．

    While reading a book in English, every few lines of text, you run across a word or two that you don't know. You look every new word in the dictionary. Bad move. All that does slow you down. Even electric or CD-ROM dictionaries can get in the way of your reading progress. A dictionary is like a road map. It can help you if younger lost and point you in the right direction. But if you stop to look at the "map" each time you take a step, you'll get nowhere fast .

    On your English learning "journey （旅行）”, a dictionary Can be a helpful “travel companion"---if it is not overused. To help you start thinking in English, use an English-to-English dictionary. Otherwise（否则），you will always depend on your native（本国的）language and end up translating in you head.

    A good dictionary can help you do more than just find the meaning of a word. it can help you verify （test and check） spelling, check word forms and grammar usage, find example sentences and learn pronunciation. Some dictionaries even provide exercises to teach you how to use their resources（资源）.

    Take time to get to know your dictionary. Learn the pronunciation symbols （符号）.

    Understand what the abbreviations （缩写字） mean. Try to master the important grammar rules. Look for charts, diagrams and lists that might be useful in the future. You will discover how helpful it can be to make friends with your dictionary. And as they say, "A friend in need is a friend indeed."

         Being safe (安全的) at school and in your everyday life needs knowledge (知识). If you remember the
    following information, your life will be much safer.
         Always notice the environment (环境) around you. You shouldn't walk alone (独自) outside. Make sure
    where the public phones are. If anything dangerous happens, you can find them quickly.
         Don't use earphones (耳机) when running in the schoolyard or on the street. You will keep yourself from
    the outside world and can be easily surprised.
         School bags should be carried (携带) towards the front of your body instead of (而不是) putting them
    on your back. When buses are crowded, it is easy enough for thieves to steal the things in your bags on your
    back.
         If you are followed by a stranger, cross the street and go in the other direction (方向), let the stranger
    know that you know he or she is there. Next, go and get help from others if it is necessary. Don't go home

         If you have to take a bus to a place far away, try to get to the stop a few minutes before the buses leave.
    This prevents (阻止) a stranger from studying you. On buses, don't sit alone (独自), sit behind the driver or
    with friends. Don't sleep.
          Don't play with matches (火柴) or candles (蜡烛), because it may cause fire. If your house catches fire
    and you have to escape (逃跑) through smoke, move on your hands and knees with your head 30 to 60
    centimetres (厘米) above the floor. Please remember there is cleaner, cooler air near the floor during the
    fire.

        To master a language one must be able to speak and understand the spoken language as well as to read
    and write. Lenin and his wife Krupskaya translated a long English book into Russian. But when they went
    to England in 1902, English people couldn't understand a word they said and they couldn't understand what
    was said to them. These days more and more foreigners are coming to China and more Chinese are going
    out to foreign countries to work or study. So the spoken language is becoming more and more important.
         Speaking, of course, can't go without listening. If you want to pronounce a word correctly, first you
    must hear it correctly. Thy sounds of the Chinese and English languages are not exactly the same. If you
    don't listen carefully, you'll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers.
         Well, what about writing? Like speaking, it's to exchange ideas. People generally use shorter words and
    shorter sentences in their writing. The important thing is to make your idea clear in your head and then to
    write it in clear lively language.
         Chinese students read far too slowly. If you read fast, you understand better. If you read too slowly,
    by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about. When you
    meet with new words, don't look them up in the dictionary. Guess the meaning from the context. You may
    not guess quite correctly the first time, but as new words come up again and again in different contexts,
    their meaning will become clearer and clearer. If you look up every word, you'll never finish a book. 
         Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life, history and
    geography of the people whose language they are studying. They should study these subjects in the foreign
    language, not only in translation. In this way one can kill two birds with one stone: learn a foreign language
    and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time.
    1. In his first point the writer told us ______.
    [     ]
    A. how to speak English
    B. how to read and write
    C. why spoken English is important
    D. why English people couldn't understand Lenin
    2. In his last point the writer advised us ______.
    [     ]
    A. to kill two birds with one stone
    B. to learn two languages at a time
    C. to study all the subjects in a foreign language
    D. to get some knowledge of the foreign country whose language you are studying
    3. In the fourth paragraph the writer gave some advice on ______.
    [     ]
    A. how to read faster
    B. how to guess the meaning from the context
    C. how to look up new words in the dictionary
    D. how to grasp the general meaning of a passage
    4. "To kill two birds with one stone" means ______.
    [     ]
    A. to get some particular knowledge
    B. to get more than what one pays
    C. the stone is too big
    D. the birds are blind enough
