Most dictionaries will tell you a number of things about a language. There are three important things. The three things are spelling, pronunciation（發(fā)音）and meanings.

　　First, a dictionary will tell you the spelling of a word. If you are not sure about the spelling of a word, you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in alphabetical order（按字母順序）--a, b, c and so on. For example, on a dictionary page the word“poor”--p, o, o, r --comes before“poverty”--p, o, v, e, r, t, y --and the word“poverty”comes before the word“power”--p, o, w, e, r. The words are always given in alphabetical order.

　　The second thing, a dictionary will tell you pronunciation. Most dictionaries give phonetic（語的），or sound, alphabet. The phonetic spelling will tell you how a word is pronounced. There are a few different phonetic alphabets. Many dictionaries use the International（國際的）Phonetic Alphabet to show pronunciation.

　　The third thing, a dictionary will tell you the meaning of words. You can look up a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary will tell you all of the word's meanings. For example, in English the common word“get”has over 20 different meanings.

(1）In the passage, which of the following is among the three important things?

[　　]

A．How to write a word well.

B．How to use a word.

C．How to make a sentence.

D．How to read a word correctly.

(3）Many words have ________.

What do people do with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers? Most people don’t know what to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown out with the rubbish.　　

Some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products. Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers.　　

In some countries, laws are being passed, too. Computer companies will have to collect and recycle their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade（升級）.　　

Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers.　　

The computers then go to schools, charities and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish into someone else’s useful things—and cut down on waste, too.　　

1. How do people usually deal with their old computers?　　

A. They stop using them. B. They give them to others.   C. They fix them up.　　

2. What do some computer companies do to bring down the number of old computers?

C. They donate them to some charities.　　

3.According to some countries’ laws, what must computer companies do?　　

A. Collect and recycle most of computer waste. 　　

B. Repair and upgrade old computers.      　　

C. Make much cheaper computers.　　

4. What may people who can’t afford computers think of the used computers?

5. What is the passage about?
