When you are reading something in English, you may often come across a new word. What?s the best way to know it?
Y ou may look it up in the English-Chinese Dictionary. It will tell you a lot about the word, the pronunciation, the part of speech, the Chinese meaning and also how to use this word. But how can you know where the word is 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 order. In the dictionary you can first see the words beginning with the letter A, then B, C, D, E… That means, if there are two words “desert” and “pull”, “desert” will be certainly before “pull”. T hen 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, “pardon” is before “plough”, “judge” before “just”, etc.

Th e dictionary will be your good friend. I hope you?ll use it as often as possible in your English learning.

Winter is coming. Another flu season is coming, too. But this year things could be a little d 127 .
Recently, Dr. David Nabarro, a UN expert (person with special knowledge),warned that a new flu pandemic(世界性的流感)could come anytime. And it could kill millions of people!
It could be so s 128 because it could be a type of bird flu. Bird flu has killed at least 65 people and tens of millions of birds in Asia since 2003. Usually, the virus
does not p 129 from person to person. But experts believe this could change if the virus changes.
“If a person has got flu and also gets bird flu…the two kinds of flu could mix and make t 130 into a more dangerous one,” said Aphaluck Bhatiasevi, a World Health Organizati on expert.
To d 131 with this possible new flu pandemic, the Chinese government will use four colors-blue ,yellow, orange and red-to warn people about what might happen through media(TV, radio and newspapers).
Blue means that a new flu virus has been found among some people. But they are not ill. These people will be put in hospitals.
Y ellow means people with the new virus have become ill. The government will tell people about it and give a 132 .
Orange is given when the new flu spreads from human to human a 133 a small group of people. Then people can call a special phone number to report the outbreaks(暴发).Schools and
factories will be closed.
Red marks the most serious possibility. It means a big flu outbreak has begun.

二十、Answer the following question（阅读短文，然后回答问题）：
Thomas Edison was a genius. He established the first central electric power station in 1882, which enabled New Y ork to be the first city in the world to have electric lights. This was the beginning of the modern world in which electricity became a way of life.
The following year, one of Edison?s engineers discovered electrons, which eventually led to electronics, the branch of science dealing with electricity. This discovery was patented as the “Edison Effect”. Without electronics, we might not have radio, TV, computers, or space travel.
The rest of Edison?s life was spent making and improving inventions including the motion picture camera, the copy machine and the microphone.
Thomas Edison died at the age of eighty-four in 1931. Three days later, many American people dimmed lights in honor of the inventor-man who had more impact on the development of present-day civilization than anyone else in history.
