As a young adult, Noah Webster was a teacher. At this time, the colonies were fighting for independence from Britain. Yet the books that American children used in school all came from Britain. The books were all about British people and British places. Webster wanted books that would mean more to American children. So he wrote three books that used American examples—a grammar book, a spelling book, and a reader. These books were very popular, and millions of them were sold.
Webster was interested in changing the spellings of words. He wanted words to be spelled the way they were pronounced. For example, he thought the word “head” should be spelled “hed”， and the word “laugh” should be spelled “laf”. People liked Webster's suggestions.
However, few words were actually changed. One group of words that were changed were words in which an unpronounced “u” followed an “o”. That is why Americans write “color” and “labor”， and the British write “colour” and “labour”.
With the money he made from his books, Webster was able to write. It was the first American English dictionary, published in 1828.Webster's dictionary had over 70，000 words and gave the meaning and origin of each. To this day, Webster's work is the example that most dictionaries of American English follow.

We couldn’t wait to get outside. Sure, we knew that growing up was to be about going to school and doing homework, but for us the most important thing was having fun. As soon as school was over, we’d run home, eat something, and rush outside to take care of our real business, hanging about (闲逛) with our friends.
Hanging about was our time, when we didn’t have to deal with the annoyances (烦事) of the family life. We’d be with our friends traveling in our imaginations, inventing a new game with bottle caps. We were ruled only by ourselves and answered to no one but ourselves.
We played all kinds of games, but most of our activities involved a ball. City kids played “official” ball games like baseball, football, and basketball —but we also had many less formal ball games to draw upon for fun. These games had simple rules, and just needed a few people and took almost no time to get going. The games could be the center point of attention, but they usually occurred while the main event, hanging about, took place.
That’s how it was, just you and your friends.You didn’t need organization, time, planning, or equipment. You made creative use of the urban landscape. Fields of play were the sidewalks, streets and walls. Bases were cars, lamp posts and garbage cans. Equipment usually was made of some household things, but there was one thing that was necessary: a rubber ball.
8. According to the author, the kids desired to .
A. grow up quickly
B. play with friends
C. go to school
D. make new friends
9. We can learn from the second paragraph that the kids were .
A. great inventors
B. easily annoyed
C. ruled by some people
D. full of imaginations
10. The ball games that the author played .
A. didn’t have strict rules
B. were popular with city kids
C. usually happened at school
D. required a number of players
11. What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A. The kids used to play at home.
B. The kids spent a lot of money on the games.
C. The games took place almost anywhere.
D. The kids didn’t like to play official ball games.
D
All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer．
Sports change with the season. People play different games in winter and summer．
Games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports, too．Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers．Some sports or games go back to thousands of years, like running or jumping, Chinese boxing(太极拳), for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time．People from different countries may not be able to understand each other but after a game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person's character(性格). One learns to fight hard but fight fair(公平地), to win without pride and to lose with grace(体面).
12．According to this passage we know that ________ .
A. not all the games have a long history

Ways to make a great first impression
You’ve hea rd it a million times already, but it really takes a few seconds to make a good first impression (印象). Here are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers.
● 16
Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The handshake should
not be too strong or weak. Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left. 17
● Be on time
When meeting someone for the first time, arriving on time is very important. You may have an excuse,
but that will leave the person with a bad impression. 18 It’s better to be a little earlier than
be late.
● Introduce yourself and ask for names
Make sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask for their names in a polite way. 19 This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future. Always remember to stand up when greeting someone and be sure to introduce them to anyone you’re with.
● Make good conversation
To get the most out of your discussion, try to find some thing common between the two of you. 20
A person will feel more comfortable with someone they can relate to（产生共鸣）.
A. Use body language
B. Have a proper handshake
C. Repeat the name and use it later in conversation.
D. As a general rule, plan to arrive about 30 minutes early.
E. It could be a similar taste in clothes or a common hobby.
F. You’ll be in serious trouble if you leave them with a bad impression.
G. However, don’t have your left hand in your pocket because this appears impolite.

One possible version:
Dear Jim,
I’m delighted to hear that you’ll be a senior student. Now, I’d like to share my study tips with you.
Fir st, you’d better communicate with you teachers regularly. In this way, they may offer some
great advice on both your study and life. Second, why not involve yourself in each class actively, listen to the teacher attentively and take notes carefully so that you can review later? Third, it s a good idea to do your homework on time soon after school, which will help you practice what you have learned and make it fresh in your mind.
I sincerely hope my advice can be helpful to you and that you can enjoy your new school life. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
