What is the best-selling book in the world? Is it the Harry Potter series or Secret Garden? According to the Guinness World Records, the Xinhua Dictionary, published by the Commercial Press in China, is the world’s most popular dictionary and the best-selling book.

In 1950, Chinese language experts(專家) andscholars, Wei Jiangong and Ye Shengtao, started to edit(編輯) the Xinhua Dictionary. There was a lot of discussion, research and paper work. Some hand scripts (稿件) were checked again and again like compositions, People’s Daily reported. Many people’s hard work and interesting stories went into making the dictionary.

In 1953, the first Xinhua Dictionary was published. Today, 567 million copies of the dictionary have been sold worldwide.

However, revisions (修訂) to the dictionary continue to be made. According to Yu Guilin from Commercial Press, editors(編輯) usually summarize (總結(jié)) the meaning of words again while revising. If the example sentences are out of date, editors need to have experiences and make new examples. “To give a correct explanation of the word ‘焗油 (deep condition)’ , one editor went to a barber shop (理發(fā)店) to experience it for himself,” Yu told the Beijing Times. So far, the Xinhua Dictionary has been revised 11 times.

To keep up with the times, some popular and widely used internet words are also added to the dictionary. For example, in the 11th edition, the phrases “曬工資 (show off salary)” and “曬照片 (show off pictures)” were included.

All these efforts create the “National Dictionary” of China. The Xinhua Dictionary is not only a useful tool for generations of Chinese people. It also helps foreigners who are learning the Chinese language and culture.

Red squirrels were common(常見(jiàn)的) in British forests and countryside. But there are fewer than 140,000 red squirrels ______ now and most of them are in Scotland. However, grey squirrels are now so common that many people ______ them. They can hunt and kill them legally(合法).

The two types of squirrels look similar. They both have a long ______, which helps the squirrel to jump from tree to tree, and the same large eyes, small ears and powerful back legs. ______, the grey squirrel has a clear advantage(優(yōu)勢(shì)) over the red. The red squirrel has a head-and-body length of 19 to 23 cm and a tail length of 15 to 20 cm. But the grey squirrel is a ______ animal. The head-and-body length is between 23 and 30 cm.

So ______ is the number of red squirrels smaller than that of grey squirrels? Size is one reason, but there are others.

【題目】

When you cough or sneeze, you’d better turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. And then, you should say, “Excuse me.”

This seems so simple, but it is surprising how many kids have never been told to do this. Actually, I notice adults all the time who cough and sneeze in public without placing a hand over the mouth. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hands, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. If not, they will be passing those germs (細(xì)菌) along to everything and everyone they touch.

If you come to a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through first, then you can walk through. If the door opens by pushing, hold the door after you pass through.

After a few weeks of seeing kids try to get through doors in the school and watching them enter restaurants as the door hit other people, I knew I had to discuss the problem with my students. Teaching them small acts of kindness, such as letting someone else go through a door first as they hold it open, may seem unimportant, but it can go a long way toward helping students realize how to be polite and thank others. Once they’ve been told, they’re halfway there.

When we have to go up moving stairs, we will stand to the right. That will give others who are in a hurry a choice of walking up the left-hand side of the moving stairs. When we are going to enter a lift, the underground, or a doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter.

After college when I moved to London, I was surprised at how polite everyone was in the subways. I was even more touched when I traveled to Japan. In both places, people made efforts to make way for others. On moving stairs, everyone stood to the right and walked to the left. On lifts, everyone would stand over to the side and allow others to exit before they would begin to enter.

【1】If you come to a door and someone is following you, you’d better .

A.hold the doorB.pass throughC.close the doorD.stand to the side

【2】Why should we stand to the right of moving stairs?

A.Because it’s dangerous to stand to the left.

B.Because it’s a traffic rule which we must follow.

C.Because we must wait for others to move first.

D.Because we should make way for people in a hurry.

【3】From the passage we can know the writer is a .

A.doctorB.travelerC.parentD.teacher

【4】The passage is mainly about .

A.the rules of acts in publicB.the ways of communication

C.the problems of meeting peopleD.the knowledge of social life

Did you know?

Box-office monster “Zootopia” has been called the “most Easter egg-packed(彩蛋) movie ever made by Disney”. One of its Easter eggs comes to the species of the news anchor seen on the film’s ZNN channel. Depending on where in the world you’re watching “Zootopia”, the type of animals hosting may change.

Zootopia went a step further to make the different versions (版本). In the US, Canada, France, the news anchor is moose(麋鹿). In Brazil, it’s a jaguar(美洲虎). Australia and New Zealand get a koala; while Chinese audiences see a giant panda.

User Reviews

What can I say…. I’m a huge Disney fan. Maybe not like my friend over at Reviewing All 54 Disney Animated Films. And More!, the Disney cartoons have been a big part of my life. So, in a sense, the Disney animated features are a big deal to me.

Whether young or old, Zootopia’s story carries a powerful and thematic commentary message that’s highly valued and relative (especially in today’s world). As Judy Hopps says in the movie “Life’s a little bit messy. We all make mistakes. No matter what type of animal you are, change starts with you.” And I can’t agree more with that statement.

【1】 In the film, the animal hosting turns into a ___________ if you live in Sydney.

A. koala B. giant panda

C. moose D. jaguar

【2】Who is one of the directors of the film?

A. Jared Bush B. Rich Moore

C. Idris Elba D. Ginnifer Goodwin

【3】You can probably spot this article in a(n) ___________.

A. newspaper B. magazine

C. movie net D. Imax poster

【4】Which of the following is TRUE based on the passage?

A.Zootopia is a romance story about a koala and a giant panda.

B.The film will be released on 4 March 2016 in English and French.

C.You can go to the nearby theater for different 3D versions of Zootopia.

D.Zootopia made different versions which are called “Easter egg-packed”.

【5】Where can we infer (推斷) from the User Review?

A.She is a huge Disney fan.

B.She has reviewed 54 Disney animated films.

C.She agrees with the message that the film carries.

D.She does not agree with what Judy Hopps says.
