A good dictionary is an important tool. It will tell you not only what a word means but also how it is used.

A dictionary needs to be printed again about e  73    ten years. Languages develop and a good dictionary must s  74    these new changes.

A new English dictionary w   75    only tell you how most people use the language today. It won’t tell you w   76    is right or wrong. It may tell you the right time to use a word. If only a few people use a word, a dictionary will e    77   tell you this or not list it.

    Every dictionary will tell you many interesting facts. If you type a word and the word is too long, look it up in your dictionary. All d    78      show you where to break a word. And they also show you how a word is spoken.

    Every dictionary, of course, tells you what a word means. But some words, like “get” or “take”, may have lots of meanings. In some dictionaries, the m   79      meanings are often listed first. In others, the newest meanings are listed last. So before you use your dictionary, you should always read the front part. This part e    80     how to use it.

    Some dictionaries also show you where a word comes from. Do you know that the word “brand”(标记) comes from an old word? This old word means “to burn”. This is b    81     hundreds of years ago people burned their names on tables or boats to show who made them. They also burned their own names on their farm animals so that they would not be s   82     .

    Your dictionary maybe has some m   83      other interesting facts in it. After you have learned to use a dictionary, it can become your best useful book.
