The Oxford English Dictionary turns 90 this year. The big, fat book is a good friend of your English learning.

But do you know the story of how the famous dictionary was created over a period of 71 years?

The very first edition of the Dictionary started to be developed as an idea in the late 1850s when a group of English language experts (专家) felt the need for such an English dictionary. They wanted a dictionary which would tell the history of each word in the language, based on data (数据) showing how each word was actually used at different periods in history. This data collection was done through a London association called the Philological Society in1857.

In 1879, Oxford University Press made preparations for publishing the Dictionary, James Murray was appointed as the new editor(编辑). Murray had never been to university. He was a self-taught language expert. However, he took on a group of helpers, and the work of adding entries(条目) to the Dictionary soon got started Henry Bradley, one of Murray's helpers, was appointed as the Dictionary's second Editor in 1887. Bradley was given the task of editing a separate part of the alphabet (字母表)starting with the letter E. But as time passed, they were fully aware that not even two separate teams were enough. In 1901, William Craigie was appointed as the Dictionary's third Editor, and in 1914 Charles Onions became its fourth Editor. By the time Onions was appointed, the Dictionary was complete as far as the letter S.

It's important to note that the Dictionary didn't finish at Z. It was the letter W that was the last to be finished on April 19, 1928. That was the day on which the first edition of the Dictionary was officially completed.

Do you want to make homework simpler? Oxford Learning founder and CEO Dr. Nick Whitehead, said,“Homework might be an unavoidable (不可避免的) part in school, but it doesn’t have to be the boring part. With the right skills in place, students can turn homework from headache-including to trouble-free.” These steps will make an obvious difference.

Use your notebooks

The brain is able to finish great works, but it is not perfect. Students should never rely on (依赖) it to remember all school details. When a teacher assigns homework, students should write the details in their notebooks. According to Whitehead, to make them effective, students need to remember to take the notebooks out of their school bags at night, open them up, and read over the night’s list.

Remove distractions (使注意力分散的事物)

Computers on, music on, text messages receiving ….

Whitehead says that if students aren’t doing research, they should turn off all the above electronics and focus on the task at hand for a set period of time. They’ll find that it is easier to concentrate (全神贯注) and that homework takes less time.

Think actively

Getting homework done is the name of the game, but what happens if students are struggling with a question, or can’t work out an answer? When facing difficulties, it is wise for the student to take a small break then return to look at the problem again.

Get organized

Homework is often the most disorganized part. Whitehead recommends, “Students should keep all the homework-related things in a bin so they don’t waste time searching for pens or rulers.” He also recommends picking the same place to do homework every night, and (when possible) completing homework at the same time each day.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，在下面的表格中填入与文章意思最符合的单词。每空一词。

English is the first language of several countries. However, it has many differences. British, American, and South African English are all spoken differently. In many English language courses, the British and American differences are taught. One is not more correct than the other, but there are important differences between the two.

Probably the biggest difference between American and British English is the vocabulary. Different words and expressions are used to talk about the same thing. For example, in the United States, people throw their garbage into the trash can. In England, people throw their rubbish into the dustbin. In Britain, people take a lift to the fifth floor. In America, people take an elevator.

American and British grammar can be also different. For example, speakers of British English will ask “What did you do at the weekend？”， but Americans usually say “On the weekend.” In the United States people usually say “I've gotten a new car.”， but in the UK they will say “I've just got a new car.”

The pronunciation in American and British English is also different, even when the spelling is the same. The word “tomato”—pronounced “to­mah­to” in British English—is a classic example of this.

Vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation are three ways English is different in different parts of the world. Learning all these is not easy, so English learners should just know that they are always there.

阅读表达。阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题。

A recent report by the American Heart Association — a big organization that encourages adults and kids to stay healthy —found that today’s kids are 15 percent less healthy than kids from years ago. What does that mean? Let’s say you’re a 12-year-old girl. You’re not a sports superstar, but you’re pretty good — kind of average (平均的). Let’s say your mom was the same kind of kid when she was your age. Now imagine we could set up a mile race between you and your mom from 30 years ago. Wouldn’t that be cool? What wouldn’t be so cool is that the study shows your mom would probably beat you in the race by 90 seconds (秒). That’s a lot. It was the same for boys. An average boy from 30 years ago would beat an average boy today.

The scientists who did the study think there are some reasons for the big fall in fitness. First, too many of today’s kids are overweight (超重的). That makes it harder for them to run fast. Second, kids today don’t get enough exercise. Doctors say kids should get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. That’s why it is important for schools to have P.E. classes.

So what should kids do? If you don’t want your mom and dad to think they are faster than you, don’t spend a lot of time playing video games, watching TV or movies. Instead, do things that will get you up and to move.

根据材料内容简要回答下列问题。

1.What did the report find?

2.Would an average boy from 30 years ago beat an average boy today?

3.How many reasons does the writer give to explain the big fall in fitness?

4.How much exercise do kids need a day according to the passage?

5.What is the last paragraph mainly about?

Britons are well known for the amount of tea that they drink. The average (平均) person in the UK consumes (消费) around 1.9 kg of tea every year. That’s around 876 cups of tea. Tea is drunk by all sections of society. But tea is not native to Britain. Most tea is grown in India and China. So, how did it become an important part of British culture?

Tea arrived in London in the 1600s. At this time, British ships were exploring the world and came across the drink in China. It was not long before green tea was available to buy. However, this was only available to the richer sections of society.

At the beginning of the 1700s, the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased gradually. Black tea arrived at this time. At first, people drank this tea exactly as it was in China. They soon discovered that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar, giving the drink a special British characteristic (特色).

In the 1800s tea was still a product enjoyed only by people with money. At this time, they began to have “afternoon tea”. This involves (包含) drinking tea with a snack around 4 pm to avoid feeling hungry between lunch and dinner. It is a tradition that is still going today.

In the late 1800s, the price of tea decreased sharply as more tea began to arrive on ships from India and China. It was no longer a drink just for rich people. Tearooms started to appear across the country. People enjoyed drinking tea and socializing in these places. At the start of the 20th century, Britons began to make tea in their homes whenever they felt like it.

1.How many cups of tea does average person drink each year in the UK?

2.What should be mixed with tea to make it a special British characteristic?

3.Why do British people have afternoon tea?

4.Could most people in Britain afford tea in the late 1800s?

5.Where did Britons enjoy drinking tea and socializing?
