         When Webster was young, he was a teacher. But he quickly became tired of the books he used in
    classes. They were all about the English people and places. Since he wanted books that would be
    interesting to American children, he wrote three books with many American examples.
          Webster worked industriously (勤奋地) to change the spelling of American English. He wanted
    words to be spelled in the same way they were pronounced (发音). For example, he thought the word
    "laugh" should be spelled "1af".
         One day he walked into a print shop and gave the boy there a piece of paper. "Young man," he said,
    "when you print any please don't spell as English people do. For example when you print these words
    "theatre, centre, colour, and labour (劳动)", please always print them as "theater, center, color,
    and labor'." The boy studied it and answered, "OK, but I must ask my boss first."
          With the money he made from his books, Webster could start his work, which took him more
    than twenty years to finish. In 1828, the first American English dictionary was born. And today,
    Webster's dictionary is thought to be the most important American dictionary in the whole world.
    1. What kind of books did he use when Webster was young?

    [     ]

    A. Books about Great Britain.

    C. Books about both Great Britain and the USA.

    [     ]

    A. he was born in America
    B. there were too many mistakes in them
    C. American children were not interested in them

    3. On the paper Webster gave the boy were the words _____.

    A. easy to say
    B. that didn't sound well
    C. whose pronunciations he wanted to change
