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.

( 2015 •浙江杭州)
Teenager Jake Denham was skiing (滑雪) with his family in the USA when he fell over and lost one of his skis. His family didn't know that he had a problem. They kept on skiing. When they got to the foot of the mountain,there was no sign of Jake.
Jake couldn’t find his ski anywhere. In the end,he decided to take off his other ski and walk down the mountain. But he couldn’t work out the right way to go.
It was now getting dark and he was a long way from any place of safety. He knew that he might die that night in the cold temperatures. But Jake kept calm (镇定的) .At home,Jake watched a lot of programs about living in difficult situations. He remembered the advice from these programs and knew that he should build a hole in the snow. He made a hole and pointed it up the hill so the wind couldnJt blow into it. Outside his hole,the temperature fell to a dangerous—15°C that night,but inside it Jake was safe from the cold.
But he had to get down the mountain. The TV programs always said ,“ If you are lost,you should find someone else's tracks (足迹) through the snow and follow them. ” “I wanted to live my life”,remembers Jake.“So I got up and I found some ski tracks and I followed those.He walked and walked and finally he saw lights. Nine hours after he lost his ski,he found a team of workers who came to save him. He w^as safe!

Big ocean fish have almost disappeared from the world since the start of the fishing business in the 1950s. The scientists found that the number of large fish has dropped by 90 percent in the past fifty years. The study took ten years. The researchers collected records from fishing businesses and governments around the world. The magazine Nature published the findings.
The scientists say the common way called longline (延绳) fishing especially does harm to large fish. This way includes many fishing lines that are connected to one boat. If these lines are joined together,they can reach one hundred kilometers. They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks to catch fish. Longline fishing is especially common in the Japanese fishing industry. Records showed that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for every one hundred hooks. The study says longline fishing boats now might catch one fish per hundred hooks.
The scientists say the fishing business can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the past. The study suggests that large fish can disappear almost completely from new fishing areas within ten to fifteen years. Ocean life systems could be destroyed.
It’s not the only worry that the number of large fish is becoming smaller and smaller. What5s worse,they are smaller in size than their ancestors (祖先) .
