Born: October 16,1758
Place: Hartford, Connecticut

Place: New haven, ConnecticutBackground informationCharacter: truly remarkable shrewd,
passionate, learned and energetic, God-
fearing and patriotic.
Fame: author of the first American
dictionary
remarkable 不平常的 shrewd 精明的
passionate 热情的 God-fearing 虔诚的
patriotic 爱国的As a young adult, Noah Webster was a
teacher. At that time, the colonies were
fighting for independence from Britain.
Yet the books that American children
used in school all came from Britain.
The books were all about British people
and British places. Webster wanted books
that would mean more to American
children -a grammar book, a spelling
book, and a reader. These books were
very popular, and millions of them were
sold.Webster was interested in changing the spellings of words. He wanted words to be spelled the way they were pronounced. For example, he thought the word “head” should be spelled “hed”, and the word “laugh” should be spelled “laf”. People liked Webster’s suggestions. Unfortunately, though, few words changed, such words in which an unpronounced ‘u’ followed an ‘o’ were omitted. That is why Americans write color and labor, and the British writecolour and labour.
With the money he made from his books,
Webster was able to start on his great work.
This work took more than twenty years to
write. It was the first American English
dictionary, published in 1828.Webster’s
dictionary had over 70,000 words and gave
the meaning and origin of each. To this day,
Webster’s work is the example that most
dictionaries of American English follow.Discuss and share your idea with your partner.What reasons did Webster have for

古英语时期（450-1150）：英语的历史
从1500多年前的北欧开始。英语是在公
元五世纪由三个日耳曼部落盎格鲁、撒
克逊、裘特人带过来的。盎格鲁人原来
的语言是“Englisc”，----这就是今天
“English”一词的来历了。
在此时，古英语内部的发展朝着简化词
形变化的方向在走，其语法也在某些方
面不同于现代英语语法。近代英语时期（1150-1500）：1066年，诺曼人征服英国。诺曼征服对英语有显著的冲击，改变了英语单词的拼法，更引入了许多新的诺曼词汇。在此时，英文的文法与单词都有变化。现代英语时期（1500-至今）：在这个时期，来自拉丁语和希腊语的词汇被归入英语。在19世纪和20世纪，英语词汇迅速增长。在独立后的美国，英语逐渐演变成具有自己的特征的、反映美国人生活和社会的语言，即美语。英语在大西洋两岸逐渐分化，形成了当今英语语言的两大主流—英国英语和美国英语。Skimming Read the passage and find four ways in which British and American English are different.Vocabulary

because, since/as, now that.because, as, for, since这几个词都是表示“原因”的连词，语气由强至弱依次为：because → since → as → for
其中 because, since, as均为从属连词，引导原因状语从句；而for是并列连词，引导并列句。指点迷津：1. because
表示直接原因，它所指的原因通常是听话人
所不知道的，其语气最强。用来回答why的
提问，一般放于主句之后，也可以单独存在。
例如：
(1) I stayed at home because it rained.
因为下雨我呆在家里。
(2) Because Lingling was ill, she
didn’t come to school.
玲玲因病，没有上学。 (3)—Why is she absent?
—Because she is sick.
她为什么缺席？
因为她病了。
此外，在强调句型中，只能用because。
例如：
(4) It was because I missed the
early bus that I was late for school.
我上学迟到是因为我没有赶上早班汽车。2. since侧重主句，从句表示显然的或已为人
所知的理由，常译为“因为”、“既然”，
语气比because稍弱，通常置于句首，表示
一种含有勉强语气的原因。例如： (1) Since he asks you, you’ll tell him why.
他既然问你，那就告诉他为什么吧。
(2) Since everyone is here, let’s start.
既然大家都到齐了，我们就出发吧！
(3) Since I understood very little Japanese, I
couldn’t follow the conversation.
我日语懂得不多，因而听不懂对话。 3. as是常用词，它表示的“原因”是双方已知的事实或显而易见的原因，或者理由不是很重要，含义与since相同，但语气更弱，没有since正式，比较口语化，常译为“由于，鉴于”。例如：
(1) We all like her as she is kind.
我们都喜欢她，因为她善良。
(2) As I had a cold, I was absent from school.
因为我感冒了，所以没去上课。
(3) As XiaoWang was not ready, we went without him.
由于小王没有准备好，我们只好不带他去了4. for 表示原因，是并列连词。它所表示的原因用来做附加的说明，为前面的事实提供一种推断的理由且for 不可置于句首。
The days are short, for it is now December.
白天短了，因为现在已是十二月份了。5. now that 意为“既然”, 与since同义，
但更突出事实本身。that可以省略。
Now that I am well again, I can go on with my
work.
Now that you have come, you may as well stay.

汉语的书写体系
汉语的书写系统目前有繁体和简体两种。前者用于台湾、港澳和北美的华人圈中，后者用于中国大陆和新加坡以及东南亚的华人社区。通常说来，两种汉字书写系统虽然有差异，但并不影响沟通。汉字有5万多，但大多数人只认识其中大概2万多。我们目前多使用普通话，普通话被认为是一种更加正式的语言，使用于庄重的场合，是政府工作用语和学校教学用语。汉语的种类
主要有八大语系。这些是有地域性的，称为方言，彼此在发音方面的差异非常大。还有一种划分方法是分为两大类：文言文和白话文。五四运动之前所使用的书面语叫做“文言”，是一种以孔子时代所使用的以“雅言”为基础的书面语。五四运动之后所推动的书面汉语通常被称为“白话”，即以北方话为基础的现代书面语。在现代汉语的书面语中，文言已经很少使用了。 汉语的今天
1958年入学儿童学习汉语拼音，目的在于帮助每个人学会使用普通话，学会汉字。50年代时期，中华人民共和国政府为普及教育，提出了简化字。作为文化的载体，未来汉字的发展，可能是任何人也难以预料的。 1. The Writing System

1. The Writing System
About 50,000 characters/ most people

and information about pronunciation/
There are about 50,000 characters in
Written Chinese, however, most people
only know about 20,000 of these. Most of
these characters have elements of meaning
and information about pronunciation. The
most widely used system of writing is
Putonghua, which became the medium of
instruction in all school in 1956, and
almost all Publications made are using it.
2. Varieties of Chinese
8 main varieties/called dialects/Wenyan
and Baihua/Putonghua-simplified Chinese
There are 8 main varieties of Chinese.
These are regional, and are often called
dialects, although they are very different
from each other in pronunciation. There is also another classification,
however, which gives two varieties:
Wenyan and Baihua. Wenyan, an
ancient literary closely similar to the
language spoken in Beijing, has been
developed since the late of 1950s. Its
development has had the aim of
simplifying Chinese. 3. The language
Today Pinyin, a writing system since 1958
/help to use Putonghua
Pinyin is a 58-symbol writing system
which has been used since 1958. It has
the aims of helping everyone to use
Putong-hua, and to learn the Chinese
characters. In the 1970s a new map of
Chinese was printed which standardized
the place names of every town, city and
village. Goodbye!
