阅读下面短文,根据所读内容,在文章后第1 一 10 小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意:每个空格只填一个单词。

   Noah Webster was born on October 16 ,1758,in the West Division of Hartford,where his father farmed and worked as a weaver. His mother was a housewife.

   Few people went to college at that time,but Noah loved so much to learn that his parents let him go to Yale,Connecticut's only college. Noah graduated in 1778. He desired (渴望) to study law,but his parents didn't have more money to send him to school. So,in order to make a living,Noah taught in Glastonbury,Hartford and West Hartford. Later he studied law.

   Noah did not like American schools. Sometimes 70 children of all ages were crammed (挤满) into one-room schoolhouses with poor books and untrained teachers. Their books came from England. Noah thought that Americans should learn from American books,so in 1783,Noah wrote his own textbook A Grammatical Institute of the English Language. Most people called it the “Blue-Backed Speller” because of its blue cover.

   For 100 years,Noah's book taught children how to read,spell,and pronounce words. It was the most popular American book of its time. Ben Franklin used Noah's book to teach his granddaughter to read.

   When Noah was 43 ,he started writing the first American dictionary.He did that because Americans in different parts of the country spelled,pronounced and used words differently.He thought that all Americans should speak in the same way. He also thought that Americans should not speak and spell just like the English. Noah used American spellings like color instead of the English colour and music instead of musick. He also added American words that weren’t in English dictionaries like skunk and squash. He spent over 27 years writing his dictionary. When Noah accomplished (完成) his dictionary in 1828,at the age of 70 ,the first American dictionary came out. It had 70,000 words in it.

   Noah did many things in his life. He worked for copyright laws,wrote textbooks. Americanized the English language,and edited magazines. When Noah Webster died in 1843,he was considered an American hero.
