A man and his son were driving their donkey along a country road. They saw some girls 1      (draw) water at a well.

One of the girls said, "Oh,look!2      silly they are!A man and a boy are walking along beside their donkey,and 3      is riding it."

The man heard this and said to his son, "You had better ride our donkey. You are light,4       you will not tire our donkey. " 5       a little while they met three old men. One of them said , " See here!The boy is riding a donkey and his old father is walking 6        his side. The young boy does not take care of his old father."

And the man got on the donkey and his son walked along beside it. Then a mother with her child saw them. The mother said, " 7       a terrible father!He rides the donkey,and his little son walks."The man then told his son to climb up on the donkey with him. The two passed by a field. A farmer saw them.

The farmer said , " Look at that poor donkey!How selfish those two are!They have strong legs. They should be 8       (shame) ."

The two then lifted it to their 9       (shoulder) and carried it along to the town. When they came to a bridge,everyone laughed at them. And the donkey did not like the noise and began to kick. It broke the rope,fell into the water and 10       (drown) . So the old man had to take his son and go home. The man said to his son, "He who tries to please everybody pleases nobody after all."

The storm of abuse in the popular press that greeted the appearance of Webster's Third New International Dictionary is a curious phenomenon. 1       The New York Times,in a special editorial,felt that the work would "accelerate the deterioration" of the language and seriously accused the editors of betraying a public trust. The Journal of the American Bar Association saw the publication as "a serious blow to the cause of good English".

2       Just what's a dictionary for? What does the common reader go to a dictionary to find?

The demands are simple. 3       He wants to know what is current and respectable. But he wants―and has a right to―the truth,the full truth. And the full truth about any language is that there are many areas in which certainty is impossible and simplification is misleading.

Even in so settled a matter as spelling,a dictionary cannot always be absolute. 4       And so are traveled and travelled,plow and plough,catalog and catalogue,and scores of other variants. The reader may want a single certainty. He may demand that the dictionary "settle" the matter. 5       And the fact here is that there are many words in our language which may be spelled,with equal correctness,in either of two ways.

But one thing is certain：anyone who seriously announces in the year 1962 that he will be guided in matters of English usage by a dictionary published in 1934 is talking ignorant and pretentious nonsense.

   A. Such evaluation requires us to examine basic principles.

   B. But this is not the concern of the dictionary's; it must record the facts.

   C. Never has a scholarly work of this importance been attacked with such extreme anger and contempt.

   D. As a reader,he wants to know what an author intended to convey.

   E. The common reader turns to a dictionary for information about the spelling,pronunciation,meaning,and proper use of words.

   F. Theater is correct,but so is theatre.

   G. The new dictionary has many faults.

Once a dog was taking nap in the manger (牛槽) of an ox. It was full with hay. But sooner the ox came back for his work to the manger. He wanted to eat his own hay. Then the dog awoke,standing up and barked at the ox. The ox said to the dog, "Do you want to eat this hay,also?"

"Of course yes,”said the dog.

"Then,go away or let me eat my own hay."

"Oh,no. You go away and let me sleep."

"What a selfless dog!He will neither eat the hay himself,or let me eat it!" said the ox to him.
