When you are reading something in English, you may often meet with a new word. What’s the best way to know it?

You may look it up in the English-Chinese dictionary. It will tell you a lot about the word: the pronunciation, the Chinese meaning and how to use the word. But how can you know where the word is thousands of English words? How to find it in the dictionary both quickly and correctly?

First, all the English words are arranged(安排) in the letter order. In the dictionary you can first see the words beginning with letter A, then B, C, D…. That means, if there are two words “desert” and “pull”, “desert” will be certainly before “pull”. Then if there are two words both beginning with the same letter, you may look at the second letter. Then the third, the fourth… For example, “pardon” is before “plough”, “judge” before “just”, etc.

上星期六，下了一场暴风雨，我们学校附近的一幢高楼因闪电起火。消防队接119报警，立刻赶来灭火。消防队员警告被困人员不要惊慌，要依次逃离火灾现场。一小时后，大火终于扑灭了。没有一个人在这场火灾中遇难。

我的家乡离徐州市区不远。它以前是个安静、美丽的地方。有许多野生生物，空气也很新鲜。

这些年，它的变化太大了。它已经变成了一个现代的小镇。过去人们只能走路或骑自行车，但现在你可以乘干净漂亮的公交车，也可以乘坐长途汽车、出租车等，非常快捷方便。不久的将来还可以坐地铁。这些变化给徐州带来了很多的好处，许多人搬进了新公寓。然而，污染变得严重了。我想人们应该采取措施减轻污染。
