Is the claim of the G&C Merriam Company, probably the world’s greatest dictionary maker, that it required the efforts of three hundreds scholars over a period of twenty-seven years, working on the largest collection of citations ever assembled in any language ---is all this a fraud, a hoax?3. Mark Twain suggested that an ingredient was missing in the American ambition when he said: “ What a robust people, what a nation of thinkers we might be, if we would only lay ourselves on the shelf occasionally and renew our edges.”4. But, today, this vital British industry is more in peril than ever before. On almost all the major sea routes of the world, the British fleet risks being elbowed out by stiff foreign competition.5.“……they vanish from a world where they were of no consequence; where they achieved nothing; where they werea mistake and a failure and foolishness; where they have left no sign that they had existed--- a world which will lament them a day and forget them forever.”6.Smaller shipping lines do not have the resources to diversify.

It, in fact, may appear in any position in a paragraph, and may even be implied in the paragraph. Read the following paragraphs and locate their respective topic sentences. Work out a topic sentence if it is implied in the passage.A.It is hard for us to realize nowadays how difficult it was for the pioneers. Except for one ortwo places such as Zermatt and Chamonix, which had rapidly become popular, Alpine villages tended to be impoverished settlements cut off from civilization by the high mountains. Such inns as observed there were generally dirty and flea-ridden; the food simply local cheese accompanied by bread often twelve months old, all washed down with coarse wine. Often a valley boasted no inn at all, and climbers found shelter wherever they could —sometimes with the local priest (who was usually as poor as his parishioners), sometimes with shepherds or cheese-makers. Invariably the background was the same: dirt and poverty, and very uncomfortable. For men accustomed to eating seven-course dinners and sleeping between fine linen sheets at home, the change to the Alps must have been very hard indeed.The topic sentence is: It is hard for us to realize nowadays how difficult it was for the pioneers.The last sentence of the paragraph "For men accustomed to eating seven-course dinners and sleeping between fine linen sheets at home, the change to the Alps must have been very hard indeed." repeats the idea of the topic sentence, restating it with some amplification.B.Do you have problems heating your room? Do you spend the whole winter shivering? Wehave the answer to your problem. Let us supply you with one of our tame baby dragons: a guaranteed house-trained animal that eats very little and supplies enough heat all winter for a 4х6 room. It also provides ample hot water for a family of three to drink and wash. No comfortable room is complete without one. Don't wait; buy one.The topic sentence is: Let us supply you with one of our tame baby dragons; a guaranteed house-trained animal that eats very little and supplies enough heat all winter for a 4x6 room.C.It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other employment at home, and his childrenrarely, if ever, see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father's occupation, and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money, and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work, and this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a child's home life, the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages, father is seldom the dominant figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When motherworks, economic advantages accrue, but children lose something of great value if mother's employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.The implied topic sentence can be suggested as: Universal employment has brought about a radical change in the relationships among family members.。
