Most dictionaries will tell you a number of things about a language. There are three important things. These three things are spelling, pronunciation and meanings.

First, a dictionary tells you the spelling of a word．If you are not sure about the spelling of a word, you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in alphabetical order （按字母順序）-a, b, c and so on. For example, on a dictionary page the word “poor” —p, o, o, r—comes before “poverty”—p, o, v, e, r, t, y—and the word “poverty” comes before the word “power”—p, o, w, e, r. The words are always given in alphabetical order.?

Second, a dictionary will tell you pronunciation. Most dictionaries give phonetic（語音的）,or sound alphabet. The phonetic spelling tells you how a word is pronounced．There are a few different phonetic alphabets. Many dictionaries use the International（國(guó)際的）Phonetic Alphabet to show pronunciation.

Third, a dictionary will tell you the meanings of words. You can look up a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary will tell you all of the word’s meanings. For example, in English the common word “get” has over 20different meanings.?

1. According to the passage, which of the following is one of the three important things?

A．How to write a word well                    B．How to use a word

C．How to make a sentence                     D．How to read a word correctly

D．“remove” comes first and “remount” comes last  

3. Many words have        .

4. A good dictionary will tell you        .

It is reported that many middle school students are just not getting enough sleep, especially during the school week. The problem seems to get worse as they get older. Grade 7 students sleep 8.4 hours a school night, and Grade 9 students only 6.9 hours.

（3） It’s also reported that not getting enough sleep can cause problems in a student’s life. Many students fall asleep in school or while doing their homework, so it is not surprising that they get lower grades than those who get enough sleep.

Scientists suggest nine hours a night for middle school students. Of the students who feel unhappy and nervous, 73% don’t get enough sleep at night. Why aren’t students getting enough sleep? Many students have one of the following things, like telephone, television, or computer in their bedrooms. Using them on a school night not only takes their time away from homework, but also makes it difficult for them to fall asleep. （4） As a result, many students can't fall asleep before 11 pm, yet they must get up early to go to school the next day .    

    Scientists also suggest students should not do exciting activities for an hour before bedtime.
