When I first entered university, my aunt, who id an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was    36   to see that it was an English-English dictionary, also known as a monolingual dictionary.   37   it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one    38   , to be honest, I found it extremely   39    to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and    40   not fully understand the meanings. I was used to the    41   bilingual dictionaries, in which the word are    42   both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why my aunt    43   to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I    44   that monolingual dictionaries are    45   in learning a foreign language.

As I found out, there is,   46   , often no perfect equivalence(对应)between two    47   in two languages. My aunt even goes so far as to    48   that a Chinese “equivalent” can never give you the    49    meaning of a word in English!   50   , she insisted that I read the definition(定义)of a word in a monolingual dictionary   51   I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning.    52   , I have come to see what she meant.

Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n)   53   number of words, around 2,000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am    54   exposed to(接触)the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas.    55   this, I can express myself more easily in English.

The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother. My 【小题1】  began when I was just a kid. I 【小题2】 becoming a doctor. My mother was a worker. Through her work, she observed that 【小题3】 people spent a lot more time reading than they 【小题4】  watching television. She announced that my brother and I
【小题5】watch two to three TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and then 【小题6】 her written book reports. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realized her marks were a 【小题7】  . My mother was illiterate (文盲的).
When I entered high school I was an A-student, but not for long. I 【小题8】  the fashionable clothes. I wanted to 【小题9】 the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home after 【小题10】  at one of her several jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, “Okay, I’ll give you all the money I make this week scrubbing (擦洗) floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy 【小题11】   food and pay the bills. With the money that is 【小题12】 , you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want.” I was very 【小题13】  with that plan, but once I had finished paying for all of the important things, there was 【小题14】  left. I realized that my mother was always dealing with money well to be able to 【小题15】  a roof over our heads and to put food on the table. I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn’t going to get me anywhere. _【小题16】__ required intellectual (智力的) preparation. I went back to my 【小题17】  and became an A-student again. Finally, I 【小题18】 my dream and I became a doctor. My story is really my mother’s story — a woman with 【小题19】 formal education who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around the globe. Now I believe that there is no job more 【小题20】  than parenting.
