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 worlds most popular dictionary and the best-selling book.In 1950, Chinese language experts(专家) and scholars, Wei Jiangong and Ye Shengtao, started to edit(编辑) 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, Peoples Daily reported. Many peoples 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 worldwideHowever, revisions (修订) to the dictionary continue to be made. According to Yu Guilin from Commercial Press, editors(编辑) usually summarize (总结) 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 If the example sentences are out of date, editors need to have experiences and make new examples.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 (理发店) 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 “晒工资 (show off salary)” and “晒照片 (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.

Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed(责备), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people cant read or write but usually they have better memories ? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercised.So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practise remembering things in a way as other people do.（1）Someone cant have a good memory if _.A . he cant read or writeB . he doesnt use his memoryC . his parents havent a good memoryD . he doesnt use his arms or legs for some time（2）If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, _.A . you cant use them any moreB . they will become strongerC . they become weak but they slowly become strong againD . they become weak and wont become strong until you use them again（3）Which of the following is TRUE ?A . Your memory works in the different way as your arms or legsB . Your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you do not give it enough chance for practiceC . Dont learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memoryD . A good memory comes from less practice（4）Few people know that it is only _ if a friend has a poor memory.A . his own faultB . his parents faultC . his teachers faultD . his grandmothers fault（5）The writer wants to tell us _.A . how to use our arms or legsB . how to read and writeC . how to have a good memoryD . how to learn from the people四、 选词填空 (共3题；共28分)27. （10分）请根据文章大意选择适当的单词并用其适当形式填入文章中,使文章意思完整。(有两项多余选项)money recycle divide help for electricity brush hard nobody as take instead.How did we help to save our earth this week?
