I’m good in school. I do my work and study a lot, but for some reason, I have a very bad habit of losing things.
Last summer, I was on vacation with my family at the beach. On the first day, my father gave me a watch to take the place of the one I had lost the year before. “You need to have a watch, so take good care of this one,” he said.
The next day, I went swimming. The sun was shining on the water. The water was warm and beautiful. I swam. I floated (漂浮). I dove (潜水). I really enjoyed being in the water.
By the time I returned to beach, I was quite tired so I lay down. At that moment, I remembered my watch and looked to see what time it was. But it was gone! I searched all afternoon, but I could not find it.
That night at dinner, I arrived with my sleeves (衣袖) pulled down, hoping no one would notice that I didn’t have my watch.
My sister asked, “What time is it ”
“Ask Tom,” my mother said. “He has the expensive new watch.”
Dad looked at me and said, “Don’t tell me that you’ve lost the watch already!”
“No!” I said. I was sweating (出汗) with great fear. I knew I was going to be caught in a terrible lie (谎言). Just then, there was an announcement,“Ladies and gentlemen, a very nice watch was found on the beach today. If you lost one and can identify (确认) it, please come to the front desk.”
Immediately (立刻), I knew what I had to do. I slowly got up, with my whole family staring at me. I went to the desk. There it was. The watch was not broken. It was still working.
I walked back to the table, sat down and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry I didn’t tell the truth.” My family smiled. They knew that I had finally learned my lesson.

"Colour" and "color", "favourite" and "favorite", "honour" and "honor"…..Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a "u" Is it because they are lazy
Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was started by Noah Webster(1758-1843). He was a teacher who reformed(改革)English to make American identity(特征)stronger. Linguists(语言学家)celebrate his birthday on October 16 every year.
After the Revolutionary War(1775-1783), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary, rather than rely on British dictionaries.
He dropped the British "u" in some words. And he changed "centre" into "center" for children to learn English by spelling words more like what they sounded. He used "subway" instead of British word "underground". Some other examples are "soccer" and "football", "fall" and "autumn".
Webster wasn't shy about expressing his opinions. In defining(定义)preposterous (unreasonable), he wrote: "A republican government in the hands of female is preposterous.
Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70, 000-word dictionary with his American-style spelling in 1828.He also added local words.
His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new country achieve unity(统一)and cultural independence at a time when most people cared about political freedom.
"He was the creator of our language and the creator of American identity," said Joshua Kendall, who is working on a book about Webster. "He at last brought us together through our language."
36. Why do Americans spell some words without a "u"
A. Because the Americans are very lazy.
B. Because the American English developed when people used it.
C. Because the American government reformed the spelling of words.
D. Because a linguist named Noah Webster started the reform in spelling.
37. Which is NOT true about Webster's dictionary
A. It has local words in it. B. It is a 70, 000-word dictionary.
C. All the words are spelled without "u". D. Its words are in American-style spelling.
38.What does the underlined phrase "rely on" in paragraph 3 mean
A.依赖 B.信任 C. 容忍 D. 放弃
39. What do people think of Webster's dictionary
A. It is the only dictionary that Americans still use today.
B. It helped to bring Americans together besides its cultural influence.
C. It has no influence on the development of American English.
D. It helped to make American English more useful than British English.
40. What's the main idea of the passage
A. The development of the British English.
B. American English is better than British English.
C. Noah Webster added local words to the dictionary.
D. Noah Webster wrote an American English dictionary and reformed English.
