Passage 1
It was a beautiful morning that summer day.I neatly packed(将…打包)everything that I needed into my little green car.Then I started my car and drove out of my large neighborhood(街坊)in Lawrenceville.Today was the day I would move into college.I glanced back at my house for one last time and knew life would never be the same.Taking that big step from living at home to moving away involved(包括)many gains and losses.Arriving at college that day, I realized that I had already lost many things.First, I had lost my parents’ guidance(指导)I had had all my life.The comfort(舒服)and support of my family would not be there as much as before.For instance, when I got sick my mother would make me some hot soup and care for me.Now I would have to care for myself.Also, I had left some of my closest friends.Many of them had chosen to go to different colleges.It is difficult to keep in touch with(与…保持联系)fiends who are far away.I would miss the nights all the girls would get together and talk about what was going on in their lives.Finally, I noticed that I was missing my hometown.I had lived near big stores and several movies theatres.Here at college I feel as if I am in the country.I can’t find any store as big as those in Lawrenceville.Maybe, as time goes on I will come to like the move.Now that I have been in college for a few weeks, I am discovering that it is not as bad as I thought it would be.I have gained new friends from all parts of Georgia(佐治亚州)and who knows, maybe they will become some of my closest friends.We all have classes together and go to the same parties.Secondly, I have been able to become more independent.For example, I used to need somebody by my side wherever I went, but here I feel so comfortable with my surroundings(环境)that I sometimes like to take walks by myself.Lastly, I have learned to be more responsible for my actions.I know that homework always comes first and that my social life must wait until all my work is done.(395 words)

When you see Sally, she is usually carrying a book under her arm.I am not talking about the times when you see her at school.She often has a book with her when she is shopping, riding in the car, going to see relatives(亲戚)，or doing just about anything where there might be an opportunity(机会)to read.Now, you might think Sally is a bookworm(书呆子), but that would not be accurate(准确)because she also enjoys spending a lot of time with her friends and doing lots of different things.Very simply put, books are one of Sally’s main hobbies(业余爱好).People practice their hobbies in many different ways.Some people like to collect stamps, others like to listen to music or go to the movies, and still others like to travel and visit new places.Sally likes to read books — many different kinds of books.When she finds a good book in the library, she usually borrows it to investigate(研究)more deeply.She also likes to go to a large bookstore near her home, where she can see all kinds of new books and sometimes buy one that she likes.Sally’s love of books has made it a lot easier for her to do well in school because, after all, you do have to read a lot of books in your classes.When Sally gets an assignment and has to read a chapter(章), it almost seems like she is practicing her hobby.The books she uses in her classes are written very clearly and are really quite interesting.The only different thing is that sometime she has to do a written exercise for homework.To Sally that seems like a small price to pay for the opportunity to read another book about something new and interesting.As Sally has read so many books and learned so many new words, she usually only has to do an assigned reading once because she understands just about everything the first time through.(344words)

Over the years, he found that the people in America spoke many languages and they could not understand each other.He thought there needed to be one language, a “mother tongue,” so that people could understand each other and work together.He decided to make a dictionary for the people.He changed some of the spellings of words.He changed words such as “musick” to “music,” “centre” to “center,” and “plough” to “plow(犁).” He wanted to change “tongue” to “tung” and “women” to “wimmen,” but people didn’t want to make the changes, so he kept the old spellings of those words.When he started working on his dictionary, he wanted everything in it to be right.He spent more than 20 years and thousands of dollars finding out where the words first appeared and how we came to use them.He looked in libraries in England, France and the United States and did all the work himself.When the dictionary was finished, it had 70,000 English words in it.He called it “an American Dictionary of the English Language.”(301words)1.When Noah Webster taught in a school, he also cleaned and repaired the school building because______.A)the school asked him to do so
